[Shannon Sharpe]

Amazing, huh? It's amazing. It's amazing how that works. Now I'm not sure what's going to happen in this series because you imagine the Knicks in the finals, what it would do for that city economically.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Speaking of money, I'm at. I met a pilot. I met A pilot tonight, I went to a Caribbean festival. Jamaican artist by the name of Alkaline was performing. It was a great, great event. And I talked to a pilot, and I talked to me. He said, you know, I watched the show. We watch his nightcap. Okay, I know you fly Spirit, but I just want to let you know I'm a pilot, and if at any point you want to travel, I said, man, listen, man, this. That ain't what I do. That's not what I do. When he said, listen, I got deals for you. I say, well, the only place I will travel on a private jet if the pricing. If the price point is. Is of a decent amount. Dr. Jamaica. And it has to be me and my kids, especially for if I'm doing anything private, that's something they have to experience, right? He gave me, you know, roundabout price, say, you know, I can do, you know, the Dr. Jamaica 7000. I see 7000. That's it. And I started calculating. I said, well, hell, I. Oh, I'm 5200. And you just throw another. You know, you throw another 2,000 on that. So I'm thinking about surprising the kids, you know?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, Listen, you know, it's going to a good cause. Now I'm gonna give you your money. I'm just saying in general, in general, I just need to get my affairs in order over here, you know, at home, you know, I had to, you know, get myself together over here.

[Unknown]

Uh oh. Ocho. Uh oh. The NFL has unanimously approved for its players to participate in flag football when the sports makes it debut in 2028 Summer Olympics. But not everyone is looking forward to NFL competing on the national stage. Quarterback Darrell Hucet has led the US national team for four global championships and has emerged as one of the biggest AMB ambassadors for the sport. Hooch hopes he and fellow flag footballers get a fair chance to make the 10 man roster. The flag guys deserve their opportunity. That's all we want. We felt like we worked hard to get the sport where it's at. And then when the NFL guys spoke about it, it was like we're getting kicked to the side. I felt like I was a guy who could speak out for my peers, for my brothers that's been working hard to get to this level for us not to be forgotten. I agree 1000% with it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Remember I told you yes first came out, I mean, a few shows ago, and I talked about NFL players getting the opportunity to play and the owners agreeing. It's okay. I still think, and I can stand on this, when it comes to Doucet and those young fellas that play flag football for a living, that know all the nuances and the mannerisms on how that game operates, they could beat an NFL squad. I'm talking about our best players, our best 10 against their best 10 that do it for a living, against those that play in the NFL for a living. The flag team will win because they know the game. They know how to manipulate. They know how to take into the game based on the rules that the NFL players don't know much about.

[Unknown]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's different. And I said I'm hoping, even though it's a 10 man roster, I would hope it's More than that. So those that actually play the game of flag football get the opportunity to shine as well.

[Unknown]

So how. So what. So what are they going to do, Ojo? So are they gonna. Are these guys gonna do anything? Are they gonna start, like, playing in the off season playing flag football, or they just gonna show up in 28 to my. Oh, yeah, we got NFL players and we just gonna put them on the team.

[Shannon Sharpe]

My point exactly. And now just doing that is also a disservice to the game.

[Unknown]

Yes. Just because you got a big name, that doesn't. That doesn't mean we, and it doesn't mean your game. It makes it looks even worse if you send all those big names over there and they get their ass whipped, which is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Which is what will.

[Unknown]

Which is going to more than likely happen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Exactly. Which is why you need those that actually do it, understand the game and know the game. And then you know how you can sprinkle in your pieces of NFL players that can go out there and athletically be a little bit better than everybody else. But again, those that know the rules will always have an advantage.

[Unknown]

And he's led him to the quarterback, has led him to four global championships.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Four.

[Unknown]

I mean, well, damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nice. He nice, too, now. He nice.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I played against him years ago. I forgot who we were. I played against him years ago. Oh, he nice. The whole squad he was playing. But he from New Orleans, too, if I'm not mistaken. He nice.

[Unknown]

Yeah. I hope, you know, I can see if it was tackle football, Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, that's different.

[Unknown]

And the NFL want to put some of their guys kind of like basketball. See, basketball is basketball. So when David Stern says, you know what we're going to get the. We going to make it this a global game, and we're going to take out 10, 12 best players and we're going to showcase them. I get that. But there's no correlation between NFL and flag football. NFL doesn't have a flag football team. Right. So to try to take the game globally, I thought that's what you was doing these, these. These international games for going to Brazil, going to London, going to all these different places. I thought that's what that was about. Let these people have. Let them people have this. Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. The funny thing about when I think people, people, especially in the chat or people that's obviously watching are probably going to see these clips. When you think about flag football, they probably think it's, oh, you just pull the flags. Oh, our players are so fast. Look, when it comes to the Game of competitive. It's the key word. Competitive flag football with elites that do it for a living. They will annihilate NFL players. Yes, well, annihilate. You can manipulate the game in so many ways. Offensively, it's like, oh, it's crazy, the rules that go into it. And at what point will the NFL.

[Unknown]

And just like flag. I mean, you wouldn't ask anybody from flag football, like, oh, yeah, I hope they give us a chance to make the team. No, you ain't been playing NFL football. You ain't been playing tackle football. Just like these guys that's playing tackle football hadn't played flag football since they left elementary school. Bro, you getting enough shine, you in the NFL. Let these people have this moment.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I hope, I hope, I hope they get an opportunity, though. I hope they do.

[Unknown]

Oh, you let them people have the moment, Ocho. Yeah. Guys, you making 30. 20, $30 billion, these guys. I mean, they did a little bit of money that they making. Let them have a moment. Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I think. I guarantee you they'll be a part. They'll be a part of it. They'll be a part of it.

[Unknown]

You know, it's okay for them not to be. It's okay if they're not. It's really. It really is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. You know, I know.

[Unknown]

I mean, let me ask you a question. You were going to watch it, whether NFL participated or not?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Are you more apt to watch it now?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, I'm watching it anyway.

[Unknown]

Thank you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Unknown]

That's my point.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I don't. I don't think people, you know, and I don't like the fact that they just think, oh, it's flag football. It ain't just flag football. It's competitive flag football. There's a huge difference. It's a huge difference.

[Unknown]

Someone said the solution is very simple. The national flag football team versus the NFL flag football team in the Coliseum Coliseum on July 4, 2027. Winner goes to the Olympics.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, hell. Well, the flag football team will be going to the Olympics. Yeah.

[Unknown]

You can't just throw somebody out there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And I'm telling you, I'm telling you, with the best NFL players. Pat Mahomes, the quarterback chasing Justin, that.

[Unknown]

Receiver, Lamar Jackson, that quarterback, probably Lamar.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Okay. Lamar at quarterback. They're going to lose to Doucet in whatever team he comes up with, whatever 10 they have, I guarantee you. And I put one of my savings accounts on it. Just hypothetically speaking. I'm telling you. Yeah. And if people look at. People look at Lamar Jackson and what he's able to do on the NFL field on a Sunday or what Jamar Chase, triple crown winner does on a Sunday or Justin Jefferson, who can't be covered, man, it's different.

[Unknown]

It's very different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And this is coming.

[Unknown]

Coacho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Each NFL team's goat. Can you see that right there? They got each NFL team's goat. I think Fanduel did that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Matter of fact, I saw this earlier. Hold on, let me.

[Unknown]

Do you got any objections?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hold on. Hey, Ash. Ash, if you can hear me, can you text that to my phone? My, my eyes are, my eyes are bad. I, I, I like this. Somebody sent it to me earlier too, but I was, I was at the concert, so I wasn't able to. Ash heard me.

[Unknown]

Yeah, she sent it to you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hold on, it's coming. I like stuff like this too.

[Unknown]

Me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You have any objections based on what you see so far? Okay, there we go. I got it now. Larry Fitzgerald. Absolutely. Matt Ryan. I would have loved to put Julio Jones there instead, but would it be Matt Ryan? I totally understand. The quarterback. Ravens. Ray Lewis, of course.

[Unknown]

That's what. Well, I don't know when it's all said and done, if it might not be Lamar.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Lamar. Okay.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

When it's all said and done. Yeah, probably. But you got to understand, Ray gave you two Super Bowls now.

[Unknown]

Gave you two Super Bowls. Two time defensive player of the year. He's, he's, he's universally regarded as the best middle linebacker to ever play the game. I was very fortunate to play with him for two years and know what he put in it to become what he became. So I ain't got no problem with that. Yeah, Bruce, I played against Bruce. Buffalo. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, I think for the, for the Bills, it could, it could have gone two ways. It could have been Jim Kelly or it could have been Bruce Smith. You can't go wrong either way. What you think?

[Unknown]

I think Brucey.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Unknown]

And plus Bruce was a two time defensive player of the year all decade player in the 80s and the 90s. Now we'll see what Josh Allen does. Can he take him to the super bowl and unseat him? Right, Cam? Okay, yeah, absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And I think Cam also with Cam, you can slash Luke Kuechley. Even though it was short, it was short lived. His Chris.

[Unknown]

What about Pep? What about Julius Peppers? Steve Smith? It's tougher than you think for Carolina, but Cam, quarterback, mvp, took it to the Super Bowl. I'm cool with that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Walter Payton. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hands down. Anthony Munoz. Absolutely.

[Unknown]

Jim Brown. Ain't nobody unseating him. No. Okay. Yeah, I can live with that. Over Troy. Okay. Huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Over Troy.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. Okay.

[Unknown]

Two time. You do realize Emmett was a two time league mvp, right? John? Okay. I live with that. That's a good one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Barry.

[Unknown]

Barry. Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely.

[Unknown]

Aaron Rodgers. Wow.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Over Brett.

[Unknown]

I'm not. Yeah, I'm not surprised. I mean, he got four MVPs, Brett got three. He was a Super Bowl MVP winner.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Unknown]

More touchdowns, more. Fewer interceptions. I'm cool. I'm perfectly cool with that. And they had some great, they had some great players. You got Bart Starr, James Lofton's in the Pro Bowl. My brother's going to the Pro Bowl. You have Ray Nitsky, Walter, Willie Davis, Herb Adderley. They got Paul Horning Taylor.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All right, I can live with that. Peyton Manning, even though you got Johnny unit, you got some great players. Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, you've got some great players that played there. But for me it's Peyton. Now I was a little surprised by this Fred Taylor.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You surprised?

[Unknown]

Yeah, I thought they'd probably go with Tony Bacelli.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, one of the greatest. Probably one of the greatest left tackles of all time.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

But Fred had longevity. Baselli got hurt, his shoulders gave out on him. As a matter of fact, I had a great conversation with him. We was at the last Super Bowl. I was on a panel with him. So. Patrick Mahomes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, goes without saying. Hey, what about this Marcus Allen? Raiders.

[Unknown]

Yes, Raiders. Marcus. Yeah, but you know, look, they have some great players. They got a lot of hall of Famers. Exactly.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's why. That's what I just said.

[Unknown]

But Marcus, man, look, you got to understand, he and Al had a really falling out. He was blocking for Bo Jackson. Lt. Absolutely. LT was. Hey, I was fortunate enough to play in the tail end of my career against lt and they had some great players. Kellen Winslow, Dan Fouts, Philip Rivers. Gates. Fred Dean was there for a minute. Big Hands Johnson. Who else they had? Shoot, they had.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Charlie Harney. Harrison.

[Unknown]

Yeah, that Junior F. Yeah, yeah, they had Charlie. Jonah West. They had John Jefferson. The moon man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The moon man.

[Unknown]

I forget what's, what's west last name, but they had some good receivers there. Kellen Winslow, senior. The Rams. Aaron Donald, no surprise there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Without question.

[Unknown]

The Dolphins, Dano.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No surprise there. Absolutely.

[Unknown]

Minnesota. Randy. No surprise there. And they got some hall of Famers, you know, they got that, that famous, A purple people eater. Alan Page is in the hall of Fame. He's one of the two men that went defensive, win the MVP as a defensive player here in aot. Carl is in the hall of Fame.

[Shannon Sharpe]

John.

[Unknown]

Johnny Randall, Chris Carter, Fran Tarkenton, Chris Doleman, quarterback.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They had that run.

[Unknown]

All right, talking.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Randall Cunningham. Yeah. For New England. Tom. Stop saying New Orleans, Drew. Stop. New York, lt. Stop. Without saying, uh, the Jazz. Joe Namath.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Broadway Joe.

[Unknown]

Yep. The Eagles. Reggie.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Cause I gotta say, I got a chance to play against Reggie in his prime. He, that, yeah. Steelers mean Joe. And you know, Steelers got a lot of, A lot mean Joe, man. He was the anchor. He was that undertacker that made it all work.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

San Fran. Jerry.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Rightfully so.

[Unknown]

Seattle.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Russell Wilson, super bowl winning quarterback. Absolutely.

[Unknown]

Tampa. Derrick Brooks.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Unknown]

I thought they might go south. Thought they might go. Leroy Selman. Leroy Silver was the first overall draft pick, 1976. The first year they came into existence.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Unknown]

Their first hall of Famer. But I like, I, I played against Brooks, so. But I know Brooks and I know SAP.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

So I ain't got no problem with this. The Tennessee Titans, Warren Moon, Oilers.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Yep. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You can't go wrong with that. Or the commander could have been Earl Campbell, but it was too short.

[Unknown]

He was, he was a short, but he was like, I think a three time offensive player. Of the year. An mvp. Led the league in Russian.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey.

[Unknown]

One of the most punishing backs ever.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ever.

[Unknown]

Yeah. He only played Washington. Darrell Green, dg.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, couldn't it. Couldn't that have been. That could have been Doug Williams.

[Unknown]

No, Doug played at Tampa. But he did. But he. Doug had a short career at Tampa. You remember he won the super bowl with the Washington.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. So Daryl Green. Longevity gets him nod here.

[Unknown]

Huh? Oh, yeah, the chat's upset. The chat said it should have been Deion or Michael Vick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, wait.

[Unknown]

In Atlanta. But Deion only played. Deion was only there for five years. Five.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was five.

[Unknown]

89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94. He went to San Francisco.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He did two in San Francisco and two in Dallas.

[Unknown]

Did one in San Francisco. Okay, 94, 95. He went to the Cowboys and they won. He won the Super bowl in 94 with San Fran. He went to Dallas in 95, won the super bowl with them. So he only played five years in. In Atlanta.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

I don't think people realize how short time's career was there. And they let him walk. They didn't franchise him or anything. They let him walk.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. I like. I like Julio as. As the better player. Yeah, but for the Falcon. But, you know, the quarterback always gets a nod.

[Unknown]

What about Mike?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Culturally? Yes, that Mike.

[Unknown]

Vicky still a legend out there, man. Hey, man, them Jo still be wearing Mike big jerseys? Yeah, man, who wouldn't still?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, he was. I can't. I can't even explain it. I can't even explain it. But one game, one of the. One game when we played the Falcons.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Where the whole offense was up watching. Ain't nobody, especially on that turf. Nobody was on the bench when we played against Vick.

[Unknown]

Him on that turf was. You had to see it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Unfair.

[Unknown]

You had to see it. Raiders start running back Ashton Genty predicts 1500 rushing yards and between 10 and 20 touchdowns in his rookie season. I'm hoping for 1,500 yards and we'll say like 10, 20 touchdowns. Do you think that's possible for the rookie?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely.

[Unknown]

I don't know about those. 20 touchdowns. 1500 yards.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, yes, 20. Yeah, I like that.

[Unknown]

I'm trying to think, man. You probably got who that's probably. You got to talk about Gail Sayers. I think Gail Serras had 20 rush touchdowns his rookie season, and I think that was 1965. Go back and take a look at Gail's numbers. Gail was electric, though. Kansas Common.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, I like the confidence, too. In setting the goals for yourself, setting those type of lofty goals for yourself as a rookie coming in. I like it. I don't think it's going to be as easy as he thinks it's going to be, especially when he gets to see how fast everybody else is.

[Unknown]

Just imagine you play in Penn State's defense. That's what everybody in the NFL is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, I think a little better than that, though, huh?

[Unknown]

That's what I'm saying. And who's going to be able to lift coverage off you? What receivers you got now? You got Bowers. He's really good. And I think y' all work hand in hand. You know, you want to start, drop that safety down in the box. And now Bowers get an opportunity to work one on one. So I do think 1500 yards might be possible, but be very doable. I say 10, 12 touchdowns, but 20, man. Bro, that's a lot of tubs, Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, it is.

[Unknown]

What was Gail's numbers his rookie year? His second year is when he. He read those. Had those six. Had those six touchdowns in a game. Yeah, but they only played 12 games back then. He definitely would have had 20 touchdowns if they'd played. If they'd have played five more games. They had 14 games in 65 and 60. He came out at 64, right? Yeah, yeah. Him and Buckers, I think Buck. Yeah, he and Buckers were like, okay, I think 15. I think 1500 yards is realistic. But that's still a lot of yards. Even though it's 17 games, that's still a lot of yards, Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Listen, I. I like.

[Unknown]

That's 80 yards a game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, you know how hard that is?

[Unknown]

I do, yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I know how hard it's going. He go. He listen. He gonna have to have some games where he hit it.

[Unknown]

He. Well over a hundred and get.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And I'll holla at you. How was this 40 time? Just curious.

[Unknown]

Where'd he run the 40 at? Did he run the 40? Probably. What, 4, 4, 4, 5?

[Shannon Sharpe]

He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't have. He doesn't have.

[Unknown]

He ran 4, 4, 5.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. He didn't.

[Unknown]

Okay, good speed.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ain't got good speed, but I like it, though. But 1500, because a lot of yards.

[Unknown]

In 10 to 20 touchdowns. Oh, check this out. While it appears that Aaron Rodgers is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team apparently has a contingency plan if something goes awry. Jeremy Fowler said, based on conversations he had during last week's NFL League meetings, Kirk Cousins, at best, at Very least on the Steelers radar. Filer said the Steelers were interested earlier this offseason in the possibly possibility of acquiring Cousins. It was reported last month that the Falcons had discussion with multiple teams regarding a possible trade of Cousins, but Atlanta was looking for a team to take on a significant portion, at least 20 million of the remaining 37 and a half million guaranteed on Cousin's contract. The Falcons asking price might be more reasonable now, however. Remember, Oo?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

They gave him 50 million to sign last year.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, sir.

[Unknown]

And he got 37 guaranteed this year. So he got $100 million coming over the next three years for the guarantee.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

And when I had Ocho, the thing that I said, I said Ocho, let's just say in the best case scenario, he plays two years, I said, ocho, what if he only gives you one?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Which is what? He gave us half of one. He gave us half of that one. But listen, as long as the fact that they're even waiting, I'm sure they're probably in talks right now with the Falcons about wanting to acquire Kirk Cousins and paying that 20 million that the Falcons would want them to pay on his salary. Because sitting here waiting on Aaron Rodgers when they have. Is it OTAs coming up or mini.

[Unknown]

They're already in them.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Like, I, I mean, listen, I know you, you're a veteran, but I would love, I would love, maybe it's just me. If I was in this position, I would love to be there right now.

[Unknown]

Yeah, I would, too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I would love, I would love to be there. I would love the continuity, you know, getting, getting acclimated with the offense and having, having that much of a head start, if that's what I really want to do. I don't know. But, but Aaron, Aaron, listen, I think he, I think he's, he feels like he's played long enough. He doesn't need to be there. The game of football is all the same. And I, I, I don't know.

[Unknown]

Well, I, me, personally, I think it hurt him, his relationship with, not, not personal relationship, but his own field relationship with some of the receivers in, in, in New York.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I've heard seemingly. I, I've heard. I, I could be wrong that he was, he was throwing with, with dk.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Was. Okay.

[Unknown]

I think it was it out here in la.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. So, I mean, if, if they, if they were thrown together, then that's, that's.

[Unknown]

I mean, it's, you don't realize DK is not the only receiver on the team, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but he would be that he'd be the main guy.

[Unknown]

Okay. James Harrison got in on the viral good night trend and called Brett Keisel. Let's take a look at the video, Joe.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's funny.

[Unknown]

Yeah, pretty good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'll send you some pictures.

[Unknown]

I mean, a couple of them are a couple pounds. Okay. So y' all going back home now? Yeah. Okay. What you doing, man? Just laying in bed, man. I just called him to tell you good night. My man. Man, give me a kiss.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Listen, that's one of the funniest things going on right now, man, that trend. I've seen some. Seen some of the Commander flares do it. Yeah, that's fun.

[Unknown]

What a dude try to get Jay Daniels be like, bro, what you want?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah, that was funny. Especially the authentic reaction of having someone tell you goodnight. Especially the fellas when you know it's not normal, it's not common, it's something.

[Unknown]

Well, first of all, somebody, a guy calling and telling you good night. It's all it's going to. Is going to elicit. Let's just say for the sake of argument, you all did it at one time and didn't nobody know it was a trend. I think people are starting to catch on now and so they're going to play into it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ye.

[Unknown]

But if everybody did it at one time, just, just take athlete, athlete, and you call somebody, man, look here, you. You better bleed that out.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, the first thing I listen, I'm. All the people I could think of. They gonna say, man, stop playing on my phone first, man.

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know they gonna say something. You can't. You can't.

[Unknown]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, that was.

[Unknown]

That's why I don't play a whole. That's why I don't play on the phone. Before. Hey, before I say, hey, man, you got me on speaker. They asked me the same thing, man, I'm on speaker.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, that's.

[Unknown]

You should have told me. Ocho, have you seen the Saquon, the Cooper dejon alley hoop video?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah.

[Unknown]

Let's watch it. Let's watch this.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Legs. He. He got bounce, boy.

[Unknown]

He got bounce feet.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He got bunnies. Think about it. If the rim is 11ft, right?

[Unknown]

10.

[Shannon Sharpe]

10Ft up. 10. Listen, I think every NFL player, especially at the skill position, they can dunk. They can dunk. Everybody. Everybody.

[Unknown]

Oh, yeah. If you six foot tall with a 30 plus inch vertical. Yeah. You wouldn't be able to dunk because your arms two feet long, you got a 30 plus edge vertical, that's two and a half feet. Plus you six foot so you should be good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, ab. Absolutely. Absolutely.

[Unknown]

But he dumped that thing with authority.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Like, huh.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You should. You should see me dunk. You know, my vertical at the combat was what, 42, right?

[Unknown]

No, it wasn't. But okay. Oh, you see the dude that ran that 4140, I think he ran. I think he won the Big Ten in the 100 meters. The White kid that hour.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, he still. Hey, he late and he could run.

[Unknown]

Yeah, I think he went 100 meters. I think that was him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is it really. Is it really 4:1, though?

[Unknown]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, he could run. No, no, no, he could. Oh, he can get out, Ocho. He can get out. Christian Coleman, when he jumped out them.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Blocks, Christian Coleman can get out. And I don't think Christian Coleman can get out too.

[Unknown]

He ain't Christian Coleman starting in his prime, but he can get out. Oh, he got out on the boy. They almost came and got him, but hey, he is out there. I think that was him. Was that him, Ash?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I forgot his name.

[Unknown]

The guy from Iowa that won the Big Ten and the 100 meter dash, the white guy from Iowa. Is that the one that ran that 4:1 something at. At the comp. At the. At Iowa for spring Day or something?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know how fast. You know how fast 4:1 is? That might be what, 16 steps? A little maybe less.

[Unknown]

Maybe less. I mean, I saw a guy. We had a DB run 4:2 on grass.

[Shannon Sharpe]

On grass.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a whole lot of talk, boy.

[Unknown]

Yep, that's him, ocho. He ran 41 9, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I need, I need to. He needed. He needs to go.

[Unknown]

Christian Coleman ran 41 2.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, okay.

[Unknown]

Usain ran 4 2. Ran 422 with. With. With sweatpants on, playing around. He ran 415. He can get out on you. I'm telling you. If you watch us go, go pull it up on YouTube and watch him how he got out. He can get out.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I got. I gotta see that.

[Unknown]

All right, it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What if I ran 4:1, I probably wouldn't be able to ran nan route.

[Unknown]

Oh, you can run around. All it's gonna do is get you to that safety quicker. You better stay your ass on the outside. That's a headache. I mean, the only guy. I mean, there have been only a handful of guys that's been able to run like that. Oo, yeah. That was not afraid to go like Tyreek to have that kind of speed. Yeah, and, and, and, and didn't live predominantly outside.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right, right, right, right.

[Unknown]

Tyreek catches a lot of in breaking routes. Normally, when you have that kind of speed, you ain't really trying to get hit. All you run is go routes. But Tyreek turned himself into a very good receiver where he could run the route tree, and that's what makes him so dangerous. Patrick Arthur said, unk, Ocho. Stephen A. Said, tyrese Halliburton ain't a superstar. Then neither is Anthony Edwards.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Would you. I think Tyrese Halliburton is a star. I don't think he's a superstar. Now, I could be wrong.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

My basketball prowess is nowhere near yours or maybe nowhere near those in the chat that enjoy the game of basketball. But he's a star.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ain't no slouch. But superstar is reserved for the elites.

[Unknown]

They ain't but a handful of them. I mean, we throw this term superstar and star. We throw all those terms around loosely, and it's kind of devalued a little bit. Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Unknown]

Because anybody that have, you know, a year or two, a great basketball. Oh, you're a superstar.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, no, man.

[Unknown]

You used to have worked consistency. Yeah. You had to get a couple of, you know, mvp, go to the finals, you know, you had to put some work in, not just have a couple of good seasons.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, Yeah. I don't.

[Unknown]

I don't think. I don't think. Also, how y' all? How y' all been? It's your boy from South Dakota, Patrick. We've been all right. We've been all right. Life is good. Life is good. Happy Valley farm. Said Thunder walk the wolves down with a poker face. Well, they look. If you look at the way the Thunder came out tonight, it was a lot different than what they came out from game three.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

And they knew they could not allow the crowd to get into it like they did in game three. And they came out meant business. They came out with the purpose of, like, we going back home. 3 1. We're not going back home. 2 2. And they did what they set out to do.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, if they hurry up and end this series and win this next game, won't they have even that much more time to rest?

[Unknown]

Yes. Yes. All depends. Do the Indiana pacers take a 31 lead or do they go back to MSG? Tied to too right.

Zeke the God 96 do you think the Knicks will make a comeback? Everything is contingent on this game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

If they win game four, I say they make a comeback and they win in seven. If they don't, they're going home in five. Colin Is Aaron Donald really MVP for the Rams? Y' all forgetting St. Louis days? Greatest show on turf. Okay, you won't. So basically. Okay, let's go back. You got Jim Hart, the Rams. You got the Fearsome Foursome. You got Merlin Olson, who was a 14 time Pro Bowler. You got Deacon. You got Rosie Greer, and you got Lamar Lundy. If you go all the way back to St. Louis, you got Jim Hart at St. Louis. You got Dan Dardoff at St. Louis. You got Otis Anderson at St. Louis. Those are the really only guys I could think of in St. Louis. Now, if you go to Phoenix, I'm trying to. No, I mean, that's the Cardinals. My bad. Rams. St. Louis Rams. Okay, let's go back to LA because they started in LA, then they moved and then they moved back. Sam Waterfield. Yeah. Look, okay, you want Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce, Orlando Pace Marshall, Marsha Falk. You gotta realize it's not like Kirk spent a whole lot of time there, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It wasn't that long.

[Unknown]

Wasn't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's Aaron Donner.

[Unknown]

Aaron Donner, the dominance, the eight first team, I think eight time first team All Pro defensive Rookie of the Year, three time defensive Player of the Year. Yeah, I think it's A.D. yeah. And that's not to take anything away from all those other guys because Kurt's in the hall of Fame, Marshall's in the hall of Fame, Isaac Bruce is in the hall of Fame. Orlando Pace is in the hall of Fame. Tory Holt's eventually going to get in the hall of Fame, but it's, it's, it's AD Way too smooth. Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers, he saved the packers franchise, went to two Super Bowls, was the only player to win three MVPs in a row. He did. But Aaron has four MVPs. Aaron was a Super Bowl MVP. And Aaron Rodgers has more touchdowns with fewer interceptions. I don't know, bro. I mean, does. Doesn't Aaron have more touchdown for the packers than Aaron? I mean, than Brett? Because I'm looking. No, I'm. I'm thinking one more mvp. A Super bowl mvp. I think he's been to more Pro Bowls. I think they've been to the same. I think they've been the same. Same as. As far as all pros. I think Aaron might have four. Brett has three for the Packers. No, I'm saying. Yeah, so much. And look at the interceptions. Aaron Rodgers has less than 100 interceptions for the packers with 475 touchdowns. Brett got to have at least 200 for the Packers. Right. How many interceptions Does Brett have? Yeah. 105 for the Packers. So he has 440. 475 touchdowns, 105 interceptions.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Brett has 286 interceptions with 442 touchdowns. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers is the go for the Packers.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And just those numbers you just rambled off about. What Aaron Rodgers was able to do in the past is one of the reasons why the goddamn Steelers is actually waiting.

[Unknown]

You waiting. And Sean Taylor isn't there. I mean, he probably could have been there, but he didn't play enough years. You got to realize DG played 20 years at corner.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

How many 20 year corners you think you ever go see again in your life? Be the mvp?

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's not happening. It's not, not happening.

[Unknown]

It's not. Big td. The one Uncle Nocho. If you guys were on the same team in your prime, who is the number one option? Look, I don't care about number. I'm gonna get mine. I'm gonna get mine. I'm gonna get mine. I'm not so sure that I was always the number one option, but I just know I led my team in receiving for six straight years.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Dude, me too.

[Unknown]

You let. You let. Bingo. Six straight years?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, sure. I led the AFC four years in a row.

[Unknown]

Yeah, see, I ain't do that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

I let. I let the. I led my team seven of the 14 years. Finished one catch. I almost had eight. Kadra caught one more pass than I did. I started to go back in there and catch another pass to tie him up. Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy. Hey, fam. Y' all see Tom Cruise got another Mission Impossible out. Now that man be on a slide with. He like a slide with Rocky in the Expendables. Who do you think Is the king of film theory's game Tom Cruise or Sylvester Stallone?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Unknown]

Right.

[Unknown]

With the Stanley Kubrick. Boy, that babe was good and terrible. Boy. Eyes Wide Shut, and I should have went. I should have kept my eyes shut, too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was that bad.

[Unknown]

Boy, that thing was terrible. Boy. Good thing they didn't have Rotten Tomatoes around already. Know what they'd have got for that. That was terrible. Anybody that say the Eyes Wide Shut was good, they lying. Yeah, they lying.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And I saw it three times, and I still don't understand that. Bull Job, the English Patient, and it racked up all those awards.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Unknown]

I need somebody. I need whoever directed that or started. Y' all need to come tell me what that movie was about. Cause I still ain't figured it out. Oh, yeah. Collins said, got to do another one. Just because y' all forgetting. Forgot about Ed.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Eric Dickinson, God damn it. Yeah, but even. Even still, Aaron Donald dominated for so many years, though.

[Unknown]

Uncle. Yeah, y' all gotta realize Ed had a short career there. They traded Ed.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Thanksgiving, they traded to the. The Colts. 83, 84, 85, 86. I think they traded Ed in, like, 87. Or 88. What year they trade Ed? I think Ed got traded in. He might have been 80s, might have been 87. It was either 87 or 88. Mm. Cause he came and ran wild over the Broncos, I think.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right? Edie?

[Unknown]

I. I remember that. I remember that game. Cause I was. I was in college. Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Edie went crazy, huh?

[Unknown]

Did he?

[Shannon Sharpe]

He had one of the sweetest running styles. Upright. Sweet.

[Unknown]

DT, said Ocho on days while owing up 5,200 is crazy work. Diabolical.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't going. What day? What day that went on?

[Unknown]

Don't worry about it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't going no date. And matter of fact, oh, I went. I went on the outing. There's a difference. Now, a date, now, outing is two different things.

[Unknown]

I'm out of $5,900.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, I'm saying she. She paid. She paid for the date. It's good to have someone want to treat you for a change. So that's all.
