The Colorado Buffalo football have added Travis Hunting Shador Sanders successes to their Legacy Hall Colorado Buffalo football They tweeted two new legends, one historic hall. Welcome to legacy Hall. Travis Hunting Shador Sanders. Many had issues with Shador and Travis's jersey being retired by coach prime so quickly. Ocho, did Sanders and Hunter do enough to be immortalized so quickly?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I would think so. There have been some other, other great, great college players. I'm not sure if they brother Cordell Stewart. If I'm not, I'm not mistaken. The running back.

[Colin Cowherd]

Well, Rajam Salam, who's no longer with it, he won the Heisman. He won. He was their first. He won the Heisman. They've had, look, I think a Supreme Court. He's a Supreme Court justice. Byron Weasel White. I think it was a Supreme Court justice. He was the first great Colorado player.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was another running back. I'm missing a running back. I think he wore number.

[Colin Cowherd]

They had, they had Gary B. Enemy. Yeah, yeah, they had Darian Hagen. J J Flanigan came out with me, but they had some, they had really good football players that mean defensive players, you know, Chad Brown, they had Alfred Williams, they had Chris Hudson, Ronnie Bradford. They, I mean, they've had some, they've had some really. They've had some, some good players. They've had some good players. You know, Michael Westbrook came out of there. Ray Carruth came out. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Brooke gave game out of there. He and Cordell was on the same team.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Listen, this is, I mean, Prime. Prime saw, saw and felt it was, it was fitting, you know, to retire, especially with what they did. They, they had two good seasons. They turned that program around. I don't really see anything wrong with it, especially based off what the team looked like before they got there. And there should be nothing to be mad at.

[Colin Cowherd]

Well, look, you always gonna have some people because there are some people that says, hey, there are some guys that came before them and they probably should have, you know, not. I don't think the issue is the retirement of the jerseys. I think is the time and how soon that it happened. So like a lot of these say if it happened, 20 and time was it. Hold on. So what Rachelle, you, you, you, you do Rashad Salaam number. But look what it took for you to do it. You gave him flowers, but he ain't here to smell them. So I think I could be wrong. I'm speaking as if I said, okay. That's how I'm thinking. I'm thinking out loud so you guys can hear me. It's like, okay, I ain't got no problem. You want to retire Travis? You want to try sh. Can we like make it like, like 20 years? I'm different. Look, let me tell you. The University of South Carolina retired my brother's number. He was still playing. So who, who, who am I? Savannah State. They didn't retire my number. They just didn't. Wouldn't give it out. There were a lot of guys that came in, wanted to wear the number two and, and, and I remember Mackie who the train. The, the head athletic trainer. And, and Bill Davis said, I don't think you guys realize who actually wore that number. Yeah, Koji. Yeah. Sharp Ward like a three time first team black college all American, a Kodak all American three time player, player of the year, offensive player of the year, Georgia State player of the year. There ain't a whole lot of black college players can say they were state player of the year. I beat University of Georgia players out. I beat Georgia Tech players out for that award. Yeah. Bill said so Coach Davis had passed and the, the, the president got in touch with Bucket. Bucket put me in touch with him. Says hey, should nobody after talking to everybody that was here and, and some of the, some of the faculty was still there. Nah. So ain't come to bother you Not Jordan. And so, but honestly Ocho, I think that has a lot to do with it. It's not that the numbers got retired. There's like, is that it's like they bypass the line. So you know Alfred Williams, a Chad Brown who was buckets award winning and things like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Whoever was in a position of power, why didn't they haven't retired then?

[Colin Cowherd]

Bro, don't start me lying. I don't know. I don't know that much about Colorado. I be. I played in the state and I'm familiar with them but I don't know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If they felt that much about them. And they were great as they were during their time there. Whoever was in in place should have retired them. Should have retired the jersey if they saw fit. So I'm not sure why people are complaining. Deion Sanders during his time having Shador. I mean I'm. I'm confused. It makes no sense. Might have been top selling jersey when he was playing. And I'm not talking about Colorado in general.

[Colin Cowherd]

The Eagles head in the 2025 season looking to defend their Super bowl title. And A.J. brown says he knows it won't come easy. The process is still the same. I'm very blessed and fortunate to achieve a Super. The win super bowl as a team. But the process, the daily grind stays the same. Once you kind of look at it through that lens, you got to go back to work. That stuff is over with. Like I say, the Lombardi, she's not loyal. We got to do it again, try to win her over again. Oo. Eagles.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Chance, huh? But they ain't lost nothing. You hear me? But them boys ain't lost nothing. You heard what Jaylen said. Jalen forgot about the super bowl that fast. He forgot about it. I'd have moved on. Why you not wearing your ring?

[Colin Cowherd]

How many other people ever forgot about it, though? Yeah, that's only one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Listen. Listen.

[Colin Cowherd]

Sometimes. Sometimes that super bowl hangover is real. Guys celebrate a little bit too long.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The one person where it really matters ain't celebrating no more. The leader of your team, the one. They got the C on his chest, the one that's going to lead that offense. You got the. You got the. Not only the quarterback thinking the way he's thinking, but you got the receiver thinking that way, too. Everything resets itself. It's a new season. We've had our. We had our fun, but I'm on to the next. I want it again. Like you said, that Lombardi trophy is not loyal. She's not yours. It's just your turn now. The process repeats itself again. Can I do it again?

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They have a good chance because they haven't lost anything.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah. And you people are already defending. What are we defending? Can't nobody take that trophy. They make a whole new trophy. It ain't like the Stanley Cup. No. It's what you get. Hold. That's a different one. Don't you. That's yours. That's the Eagles. Now somebody want another one. Now the Eagles can say, hey, we want another eight.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Colin Cowherd]

So we have three. But. But I. I like. I like the way they. I like the way they think and they are. And they understand in order to like to be really great, you got to go back to back because there's been too many teams that's win one in a row. And I don't want to. I don't want to be dismissive, so don't take this the wrong way, because it's an unbelievable accomplishment and a feat, but there ain't a whole lot of teams that's Going back to back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Colin Cowherd]

There's a reason why.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Very different.

[Colin Cowherd]

Absolutely. Absolutely. So I do. I like the approach that AJ Is taking. I think AJ I think the thing is with AJ has want to prove that. Hey, man, every time y' all come out with these lists, I'm 5, 6, 7. Y' all will never have me at 1. Y' all never put me at 2. Y' all never put me At 3. I'm way on down the list. And then, you know, you hear people talking about, well, I don't even know. I'm not sure A.J. brown's a top 10 receiver with that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you have to understand, it's the offense that they run on. They don't throw the ball 100 times a game. The players. The players at the top of the list of those receiving. Receiving staff.

[Colin Cowherd]

They ain't got no Saquon in the backfield.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That, too. But even if Saquon was in the backfield, they still gonna throw the ball the way they do because that's just the way the offense is programmed.

[Colin Cowherd]

True. Yeah. And that's not. That's. You play to your quarterback strengths, right? Not to your strength. Yeah, your quarterback. Your quarterback. That's not what he is. He's not. He's not a guy to throw the ball 35, 40, 45 times a game. He's a guy. Okay, let's manage it. 25 is max. We gonna run it 35. We gonna throw it 25. That's 60. Hey, we're gonna have a couple of penalties to get called back and things of that nature. But y'. All. Y' all trying to get the man to try to impress y', all to show. To show that he can throw for 350, 400 yards.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And the funny. You know what else Jalen Hurst show last year? Okay, well, the. The main thing is. The main thing, which is getting Saquon. But what did the Chiefs take away? And he. He shows you what he can do. I can put the ball in the air, too. I can put the ball in the air, too, because that's what you're gonna have to face this season. Sometime. They might stack the box sometimes. They might say, jaylen Hurst is gonna have to beat us because 26 is not gonna get it. 26 is not going to beat us today.

[Colin Cowherd]

And Jaylen says, okay, I got. Yeah, if that's what it's gonna take. That's what y' all want to see me beat y'. All. I'm Falcons wide receiver Drake. London showed no mercy to head coach Raheem Morris. Oo. Let's take a look at the courtesy clip for the Falcons. Joe Patrick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That was funny. Hey, come on, Coach Raheem, you on your heel.

[Colin Cowherd]

He got straight leg. Look at the leg. How straight There he is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Why you on your heels, Coach? Come on, Coach. Man, tighten up, man. You got to get up. You got to get up. If you're gonna get up there, you gotta. You gotta put some.

[Colin Cowherd]

He was the db, Coach. He know you can't get straight. Look at the legs straight. Was him legs straight.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, hey. Well, that's funny. Hey, Drake. Hey, Drake got right up in him, too. That's funny, man. Oh, yeah.

[Colin Cowherd]

Hey, and first of all, offense or defense, Ocho, you know good. Well, you don't let Nobody put no 2.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I know, I know. It's fun. I know the boys playing like that.

[Colin Cowherd]

Man, when they teach you how to drive, what. What's the technique?

[Shannon Sharpe]

10 to 2.

[Colin Cowherd]

10 to 2. So if somebody put. They put their hands in your breastplate that they gonna drop drive your ass all over the field.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That was funny. I'm excited. Listen, I'm. That's another team. I'm excited to see what they look like now that they didn't hand it. The keys over to Michael Pennant Jr. That's going to be nice. That's going to be real nice.

[Colin Cowherd]

Over the weekend, Tyreek gave his take to reporters on how the Dolphins can solve their short yardage woes in the run game. Let's take a listen to what Tyreek had to say on how to solve the problem.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Take the von out on third. Eye what you want to you. That's my honest opinion. If it's third and short, he's not a power back. I be telling him that in the locker room, but he saw he a power back. I love Devon, though. But if I'm being honest, like that's why you got Jalen Wright. That's why you got Ali Gordon for those kind of situations. Well, he's absolutely right.

[Colin Cowherd]

Devon ha responded. That's how you feel, Cheetah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Hey, listen, I was at the practice. I was at the practice. I forgot. Was it maybe three, four days ago? Why they clowning? They clowning just like that in practice. You know, off to the sideline doing special teams. You know, we talking and chopping it up. But that. That. That's. That's all fun, but there's a little truth to that. Hey, Chain.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's not a power back fast, but yes on third down and show other situations makes no sense. That's why you have bigger backs for those type of situations. I mean, Tyreek didn't say anything wrong, even though it was in a playful manner.

[Colin Cowherd]

Right? Yeah, I agree. Then this morning, this is what Mike McDaniel had to say.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You should stand corrected. Good morning.

[Ryan Seacrest]

False.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Great morning. Let's go. Because we're another day closer to death. Hey. Hey, Mike. Funny man. Mike is funny man.

[Colin Cowherd]

So what you thinking? Trying to keep. Trying to keep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was like, I think obviously the media will spin it not knowing that Tyreek is is playing. They asked him a question and he told a question which was his opinion. And it's honestly, it's the truth. It's the absolute truth.

[Colin Cowherd]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

HN is great. He's great. First, second down. Now if we're doing something little play action out the backfield screen on third out. Then yeah, we have bigger backs that are built for those situations on third and short. You handing the ball, right.

[Colin Cowherd]

But not in. You know, he's not a. Every down, 31 back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely not.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah. Okay. Derrick Henry.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Colin Cowherd]

Getting the ball. Jonathan Taylor. Give him the ball. Saquan, you can give him the ball. You Josh Jacobs gave him the ball. I mean. Yeah, physics. Last I checked, they're still a thing.

[Colin Cowherd]

Released their first official depth chart on today, ahead of their Thursday preseason game against the Ravens. The quarterback selection depth chart reads as follows. Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson senior oh, I like that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I like. I like how they did that. They said or right. But that thing up in the air. That thing, it is up in the air. It's up well. Oh my goodness. Man, I'm. I'm hoping Anthony Richardson is doing everything possible. I hope he's doing everything right. Going the extra mile, watching extra film, staying at the practice of the receivers, talking to your officer coordinator, talking to your head coach, doing everything you can to make sure you do your best to win that job. Yeah, I hope so.

[Colin Cowherd]

Sorry, what I don't get though, look, I believe you could have got the same. I believe you could have got the same results. Bringing a guy in there and says, hey, I'm gonna give you an equal opportunity to compete with this job. And paid him 5 million.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh.

[Colin Cowherd]

As opposed to bringing Daniel Jones in there and paying him 14 million because you got the expensive ass backup if you don't win this job.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The agent worked his magic. The eight. The agent worked his mag. The agent got it, got, got it, got in that money. I think it was anywhere else he would have got no. 14 million to be no backup.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, no. And plus, and plus, Ocho, I'm gonna give you an opportunity to compete for a starting job. Ain't a whole lot of places we're gonna give him an opportunity to compete for a starting job. So this is, I mean, and I get it. I, I, I, I would have went there also. 14 million and a legitimate opportunity to compete for a job.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Most definitely.

[Colin Cowherd]

Can't complain about that. But you're absolutely right. Anthony Richardson, he needs to stay healthy. Hopefully he's learned from some of the mistakes that he's made over his first two years and, and through that process, maturity and, and, and, and just understanding what it takes to be a professional quarterback. Hopefully he's able to turn the corner.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You don't have a choice but to turn the corner. You know, a third, you know what a third year means, right? You're three league. That should make a break a year. That's when teams make a decision, you know, what are you our future or are you not, or do we need to keep looking for someone at that position?

[Colin Cowherd]

Well, third year, guess what they normally do with quarterbacks when they play well, they normally reward them after the third year.

[Shannon Sharpe]

This is, this is this year.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah. So, yeah, I, look, he has a, you know, he's, he's saying all the right things. You know, hey, I gotta, you know, I gotta eat a certain way. I gotta cut the candy out, Ocho. I gotta eat like a professional. I have to do things like a professional. I have to study. I got to be the first one in. He's saying all the right things. Now. It's a matter of doing all that lines up, you say this, you do this. And because they look, you look at that team offensively, they got, they got a good team, Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely.

[Colin Cowherd]

They really do. When you look at their skill position players, you look at their running back, they got a solid offensive line, they got a nice defensive line, they got a good day.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They surely do.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, they got some good players. But I just, they, they, the last couple years, they've Been held back by the quarterback. There's no other way around it. And, and we're not taking no shots at him. We're not beating nobody down. It's. It's just, just. It's just the facts that their quarterback play has been insufficient.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Colin Cowherd]

Inadequate, not up to par. And when you got. And when you got those, you got Jonathan Taylor and you got Michael Pittman Jr. Pittman Jr. And you got Pierce and you got all those guys. No, bro. And Downs. What's, what's the other.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is it McMillan? No.

[Colin Cowherd]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Pierce.

[Colin Cowherd]

They got Pierce, Pittman Jr.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They got a number 10, if I'm not mistaken. I might, might be saying his last name.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, ad. Mitchell. Mitchell. That's what that's about. McMillan.

[Colin Cowherd]

Mitchell.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, 80 Mitchell. Hey, he downs.

[Colin Cowherd]

Josh downs. Yeah. Oh, they got. Oh, they got some. They got some. They got some skill position players.

[Shannon Sharpe]

80 Mitchell gonna be nice, boy.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah. Defensively, that front seven, they really good. Now the back end, hey, y' all need to tighten up a little bit. But hey, they got a nice front seven. Quarterback play need to match that is it. When you've accumulated that kind of talent. Because guess what, Ocho, you like to think. And that's what teams do. They try to, hey, let's mortgage this thing. We gotta. You see what Houston, the Texans are doing? They're like, we got this quarterback on a rookie contract because that next contract, it's going to be kind of hard to be able to keep all these pieces around said individual player. Even if he gives you a discount, he gonna give you no hundred million dollar discount.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely not.

[Colin Cowherd]

So it's gonna, it's gonna be. It's gonna be incumbent on Anthony Richardson to do better, to play better. Look, he got drafted on potential, Ojo. That's what it was. He was basically a 50% quarterback in college. He was a 50% quarterback in high school. He's been a 50% quarterback. But the tools that he. I mean, oh, he's 6, 5. He's 245. He ran 4, 4. He could throw the ball 80 yards, throw the ball 50 yards on one knee, all that side. But that's. This is not the football Olympics. You need precision, you need touch, you need understanding. You need the ability to process information, decipher that information, and then the ball needs to be gone and to the right player in the right position.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Colin Cowherd]

I don't think you and I breaking. We're not breaking news to anybody. You watch the game. You know, his play needs to get Better in order for them to be the type of team that. That the Colts want to be. He's got the va, Ocho. He's got to vastly improve. And we ain't talking about no marginal improvement. We're talking about vastly improve. Yes, he's got to especially.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What's that?

[Colin Cowherd]

And look. And it's. It's gonna be. Look, it's gonna be a. The owner, Jim Ursay, passed away. His daughters are running the team now. So you know they're gonna have that. You know they're gonna be play. I'm sure Shane Steichen, who's the head coach, is telling them, hey, we gotta play for something, you know, Mr. Ursay, this season is dedicated to him and X, Y and Z, and rightfully so. But Mr. Richardson's bro, you got to perform. They're paying you. Hey, they took you. They took a chance. And that's the only thing. Ojo, you see, you're the man. I want the sure thing. It's things like this that gets you fired. Because the last thing I want to be doing is taking a quarterback three years ago, and I'm right back in the draft taking a quarterback again.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn.

[Colin Cowherd]

I supposed to be trying to find. I supposed to be trying to fill in. Ocho, I buy a house. Ocho. I ain't trying to buy a house in three years. I'm just adding pieces. I'm adding some pool, some pool furniture. I'm adding some furniture by the pool. Maybe I get a end table, something like that. Ocho, I ain't really a whole new house.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a good one. That's a good analogy. I like that.

[Colin Cowherd]

And so that's. That's. That's Anthony Richardson. He's got them proved to the point that they just add pieces around him. You don't want to be the repeat the. The piece that gets replaced.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's not a good thing.

[Colin Cowherd]

Khabib says. I wish Conor McGregor would change himself after his historic UFC rivalry. The two haven't met since their fight in 2018. Khabib retired undefeated champion 2020, but McGregor teased the idea of a rematch in 2021. Conor has not fought since 2021 when he suffered a broken leg at a loss. Endorsed Dustin Poirier. He is potentially on his way back to the UFC as the. After re enrolling in mandatory testing. Ocho, can you see Khabib and Conor ever fighting?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Khabib and Connor ever fought again. It would be one of the best Gates pay per view ever had. They would get paid tremendously. It would be, it would be, it would be dope for one. Everybody, everybody, no matter what people may think, oh, he hadn't fought in three years or he hadn't fought in five years, it's Khabib and it's Conor McGregor, the greatest, the greatest marketer of that sport, the highest earning athlete of that sport.

[Colin Cowherd]

Everybody, I agree. Everybody, you get, you get no argument. Everybody on that aspect. I mean, he's, he's Muhammad Ali the way he can sell a fight. And, and his, his mannerism, quirks, talk to him. But Ocho, first of all, Khabib is not fighting again. Had his father lived, I could see him still fighting. But he didn't want to fight anymore once his father was gone because his father was his everything. So now he wants to train in Dagestan. Yeah, that's what he does. Second of all, Connors made 200, $300 million. It takes a special type of someone to make that kind of money. And says, you know what? I want to get punched and kicked in the face again today. I want to get kicked in my thigh today. I want to get punched in my head today. I want to hammer. I want somebody to hammer fist me. Spinning back fist me today. It takes a special type of person because Ocho, he's not on welfare anymore. You know, you, you, you're not eating potted meat anymore.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So you say you don't think he has the same drive and hunger he once had, huh?

[Colin Cowherd]

No, I don't. You watch him fight. He ain't want to fight when last time he want to fight when first of all, he hadn't, he hadn't fought since 2021, which is four years. The likelihood of him fighting by the end of the year is not happening. So now we're going on five years. It's four years. Now it's going on, it's going to be on five years. You take your hat off to a guy like Floyd Mayweather, made tons and tons of money, but he still wants to, he still trained like he was flat ass broke. I appreciate athletes that once they become who we know them to be, now they still train as if they're starving like they ain't got a dollar. You look at Jordan, you look at Kobe, you look at, look, look at the guy, that's what you appreciate. I mean, think about it when you just, when you got a, you got chefs and you got everybody waiting on you hand and foot and you got a heated towel racks and you got mink slippers, when you step out of Bed in the silk pajamas. Ojo is different now, I hear what.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You'Re saying, but this is Conor McGregor. This is. This is Conor McGregor. If he fights, if I'm not mistaken, I think Dana White says he's. He has a fight coming and, you know, nobody knows about it, it's going to be a surprise. Who knows? Khabib hasn't fought in a while. You just never.

[Colin Cowherd]

Khabib ain't fight. That ain't happening.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You never know. You never know. Everyone always says they're retiring. Maybe I retire. But the love, the love of the sport. All of them are still active. All. All of them still trained.

[Colin Cowherd]

He made it clear. He's like my dad when his dad left. Ocho, some people like, that's the reason they do certain things. And then seems like when his dad left, seemed like that light went out, his desire. He's like, well, I want to shift my focus. I don't want to. I want to train others. I want to train others to do this. I. I don't. I don't see him. And Connor can't beat him. You know why? Because the guys that win at this thing and win and win and win, they evolve. Conor's a striker. He still. When somebody gets him on the ground, he can't get up. They keep him there for the rest of the round. Yeah, he hadn't evolved. Guys that look at the guys that win, they evolve. You look at Jon Jones, you look at St Pierre, you look at Anderson Silva, you look at Demetrius, you look at Mighty Mouse, you look at the guys. Yeah, that evolve. Ocho, you got to be able to wrestle. You got to be able to. To withstand it. You. Hey, you got to be able to withstand the takedown. You got to be able to submit.

[Bubba Wallace]

Levels to this.

[Colin Cowherd]

Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I know.

[Colin Cowherd]

I see you, Titus, and I just. I. I just don't. I just don't see his tank. And the deeper you go, the easier it is for you to handle it. If you don't get you out of there in the first round. First and second round. Look at when people take him to the deep water. They get him to the third, they get him to the. Get tired, it's over. How many times have you seen him. How many times have you seen somebody take him down and he get. He get up? They keep him there for the rest of the. They keep him there for the rest of the rest of the round.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And.

[Colin Cowherd]

People laying on you and I know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I didn't been in there. Damn.

[Colin Cowherd]

I love you, buddy. I love you. I Love you too. So you want to see a rematch.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Between Conor knowing Khabib, knowing his style, his background, the way he conducts himself. He not coming, he's not coming out. But I think Connor will come back and fight. Who he fights, I'm not sure. Connor's. He's put on some, on some weight so I'm not sure who it would be. I'm. I, I have no idea.

[Colin Cowherd]

Hold on. Are you trying to say tell him to go to 170?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No. Who look like he about 170 right now, huh? Have you seen, have you seen him?

[Colin Cowherd]

I'm saying he fought at 45, 55. Are you telling him to go up?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm just saying I don't know who he was fighting.

[Colin Cowherd]

For a second. Hold on. You know who in that division, right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I just said he put on a lot of weight. I don't know who he would fight. It would have to make. It would have to make because that's.

[Colin Cowherd]

Now you, now you going up to Usman.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, no, no.

[Colin Cowherd]

I'm just.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nah.

[Colin Cowherd]

But what's the other guy that just, he just fought the other day? Ilya Tempura. Nah, he didn't want that. You don't want that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You naming people that are, that are. Hungry. Hungry.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So there's a difference? I don't know. I don't know. That's a good one.

[Colin Cowherd]

No, you don't want that. You don't want no problem. Yo Ocho College football Preseason coaches Poll just dropped UT University of Texas 1. Ohio State 2 Penn State 3. Georgia Dogs 4. Notre Dame 5. Clemson Tigers 6. Oregon Ducks 7 Alabama 8 LSU 9 Canes 10 Any problem with the rankings?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely not. If if you had if you had to take a guess based on your based on the players coming back and the quarterbacks for each of these teams, the top 10, who you think, who you think winning it all even even with the college playoffs, who you got if you were to pick a team.

[Colin Cowherd]

I like Georgia, but they don't got no quarterback because, you know, they stay loaded with talent. Question is, is Arch Manning who they say and believe he is? You know, Ohio State stay with talent. Penn State's always up there, but Penn State always lose to. Oh. So if you make me guess right now, I probably lean towards Texas. Ohio State. I say Texas. Ohio State.

[Shannon Sharpe]

At all. Texas.

[Colin Cowherd]

If Archae Manning is what they say, I like it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I like it.

[Colin Cowherd]

Penn State. I just. I don't know what it is. But Penn State always wet the bed when it comes, when the rubber needs to meet the road.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The big game. The big game. Who's. Who's Georgia quarterback now? Now that Carson Beck is down here in Miami?

[Colin Cowherd]

I have no idea. I have no idea. I guess it was the guy that came in when Carson Beck got hurt.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Colin Cowherd]

If I had to guess, he was the guy. He was the guy that. That filled in when. When he got hurt with that talent. I mean, back with that talent. Ain't no way they should not win a national championship.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man.

[Colin Cowherd]

Every year they low. Hey, offense, line, D line, cornerbacks, wide receivers. NFL. NFL. NFL, NFL. Yes. Okay. No, I don't think there's any surprises either. Ocho. 1, 2, 3, 4. 14 in the top 10 sec. You got Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon. That's big. Big Ten. Then you got Notre Dame independent. And you got Clemson and Clemson in Miami and acc. Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Everybody keep changing and leaving conferences and.

[Colin Cowherd]

Look, hell, pretty soon you might only have two conferences, the SEC and the Big Ten. Dabo Sweeney predicts Clemson will have a College football's first 16. 0 playoff team after the playoff expansion. Dabble said, I've had one undefeated team in 2018. We were the first 15 and 0 team in history of a major college football ever. And I think we're going to be the first 160 team. It's a race to do that. Yeah, it's all nice and good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sounds good.

[Colin Cowherd]

I just want to win the national championship. I don't care what my record is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Dabo.

[Colin Cowherd]

But that one thing. Dabble getting ready to play now you. Hey, you might not like some of the things that he says or how he conducts himself, but there ain't no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Denying he a damn good coach until. Until. Until it's time to play them big boys. Until it's time to play the big boys.

[Colin Cowherd]

Well, he got them. He got that team to the. The playoff last. And I. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't think he. I didn't think he'd do that. But the ACC was down. Last year. They were down, but he said that's the race to 16. 0. All right, Ocho, now it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and a. Q.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And A.

[Colin Cowherd]

Aaron Jones said Conor McGregor had a bad substance abuse problem in 2021. He's the most exciting fighter in UFC history. We all know we pay for it, so why not McGregor versus anyone? I don't know what he had. I'm gonna take you. You say that. I take your word for it. I don't know. All I'm saying is, is that once he started stepping up in competition, he beat nobody. When was the last time you, like, man, Connor got a chance to win this fight once the fight started. When did you say that? Who's the last person he beat? Cowboy Cerrone.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn. Was it Cowboy Cerrone the last fight that he won?

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, in 2020. And Cowboy was done.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, that, that was that early. As soon as it started. I mean, soon the fight started, it was over.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, yeah, it was. Cowboy was done. He. He should have been out there riding his horses. The fight lasted 40 seconds.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Quick. It was quick.

[Colin Cowherd]

Stop. Come on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was quick.

[Colin Cowherd]

Lost to Poirier twice.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Them was some good fights.

[Colin Cowherd]

Last four fights, he's one in three. Hell, if he, if he not Conor McGregor, he ain't. He ain't fighting nobody. He fighting. He fighting like on a 10 car fight. He fight like fifth. I'm just saying, I mean, because of his name, but.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Colin Cowherd]

He got me. I mean, and, and, and, and, and Khabib, man, they had to. Hey, they had to call Congress and, and, and blow in his ear to get him to get up. Let.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They had to call who?

[Colin Cowherd]

They had to call Congress. Congress had to have a special session in Pathing, and you know, the Joker be taking time off. They had to. Had to reconvene Congress.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a good one. That's a good one.

[Colin Cowherd]

Ain't no nine. He got dynamite in his left hand, but he's a striker and them guys know that. So nobody's. I mean, even Khabib was. Keep Khabib. Khabib still throw the toe with him and drop. Stood toe to toe, stood in the pocket with him and dropped him. Now, Ocho, if somebody beat you at what you do.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, listen, it's. Listen, it's mma. Huh? Huh? It's combat sports. Everybody got a punches chance.

[Colin Cowherd]

Everybody got. Or elbow chance, knee chance. Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. A head kick chance. Yes, everybody has a Chance. And that's. But, yeah, it's exciting. But I think the thing that people like the most ain't no ducking and dodging in ufc. Not on Dana White. Dana White's watch. You fight. No choice. One versus two. Ain't no. Oh, he the number one fighter. He got the belt, and he fighting number 10. Cause two through five don't want to fight. Oh, hell no. And then the quick to tell, oh, you don't like it, go start your own leg. Go start your own league. But Ocho, you know, this taking off a. A contact sport for this length of time and picking it right back up, it's difficult.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's difficult.

[Colin Cowherd]

Quentin Maids. Ocho in Florida, but don't fish.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Huh?

[Colin Cowherd]

He said you live in Florida.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You just heard me tell everybody. I spear fish. I don't even use. No. I don't use no rod and no bait. I just got my. I got. Got. Got my. I. I use sugar cane. You listen to me. Let me tell you how this high fish. I go down to the Bahamas, right? I got sugar cane. You know what sugar cane is, right? Huh?

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, I know what sugar cane is. Ocho, get my.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Get my. Get my tools. Knife that thing all the way down, get it real sharp. I. I free dive. I free dive and catch my fish. I don't. I don't listen. I listen. I could have been in the movie Apocalypto. You saw Apocalypto?

[Colin Cowherd]

No, I'm waiting on the book.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The book?

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah. I want to read the book.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I. I listen, boy. Yeah, I. I'll show you. I. I gotta show you. I gotta.

[Colin Cowherd]

Okay, I take your word for it, Myron Magnus. I would watch you two hunting. Hilarious content.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, I'm the type. I'm gonna catch something with my bare hands.

[Colin Cowherd]

I ain't gonna hug with Ocho. Ocho don't know nothing about no hunting. You. I don't even know if you've ever, ever shot a gun.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Colin Cowherd]

At the gun range. Huh? What?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know what? I'm. I'm from Liberty City. Huh? So just, just, just. I'm gonna just leave it. I'm gonna just leave it like that.

[Colin Cowherd]

Oh, look, let me. Let. Yeah, let's go ahead on the Aquarius. He'll say, oh, y' all definitely do hunt or fish collab. Dear Meat for dinner. Here's a YouTube down here in Florida. He has an amazing backstory, as a matter of fact.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We can have it, like, where we go somewhere, right? We can't eat. We got. We can only eat what we catch. We only eat what we catch.

[Colin Cowherd]

Hold on, Tab out. What do you mean this we?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You don't speak French.

[Colin Cowherd]

Oh, so we only eat. So you only eat if you catch or kill something. And I only eat if I catch you kill something.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because I know, I already know who gonna starve. You gonna starve? Not me.

[Colin Cowherd]

Hey, I guarantee you when they show the footage and your ass 110 pounds, they like, I guess, oh, Joe. I guess. Oh, Joe. Didn't catch a kid. Didn't catch a kill nothing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, we. We go. I'm trying to think when they ain't got nobody to fit. I mean, I like. I. I go.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I go spear fishing. You can swim?

[Colin Cowherd]

Ain't going no spear fishing. Yeah, I can swim. I don't want to. I like being on top of the water. I don't want to see the fish until he break the surface.

[Shannon Sharpe]

My bad, my bad, my bad.

[Colin Cowherd]

I go, right, I got. Hey, I caught a fish so big, the picture weighs six pounds.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's how it was when I caught that grouper, that Goliath. Damn.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, I got. I caught a big mouth bass. He probably about. I don't know, but he left a hole in it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How much you weigh?

[Colin Cowherd]

I pulled him out, he left a hole in the water. So how big is that? How big is that? I don't know. How big is that?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey.

[Colin Cowherd]

Ohio boy. Quan waited for that. Waited for that fishing episode.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Telling you.

[Colin Cowherd]

Ocho, first of all.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Do.

[Colin Cowherd]

You know how to be the hook? Do you know how to bait a hook? Yeah, you know how to set a hook?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You take the hook, you take the worm, and you put the worm on the end of the hook and you throw it in the water. What are you talking about?

[Colin Cowherd]

But I thought. But I. Lord have mercy. But I thought. I thought you was going to. I thought you was fishing for bass. I thought you don't you fishing with bags.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Telling anything they see wiggling, they finna bite. Hear me? Anything these fish see in that water, they finna bite. They be hungry. I'm telling you, y' all be naming all this, all this exotic stuff and bait y' all be using. I don't need number to worm. Give me some earthworms, I guarantee I catch the same thing.

[Colin Cowherd]

Guess what you're gonna catch? You gonna catch small fish?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nah, but aunt fish are not intelligent. This ain't Finding Nemo. Anything they see wiggling in the water, they're going to bite.

[Colin Cowherd]

You do realize in order for a fish to get of size, it has to be intelligent. Right. Anything that has to get of size. Because big fish, small fish end up on your dinner table.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm telling you, man. Listen. See, you get. You giving fish too much goddamn credit.

[Colin Cowherd]

Ocho. How long you think it. Let me ask you a question. How long do you think it takes for a fish to get 5, 10, 15? You think that happens in a year.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Underneath, down there where the people can't even reach?

[Colin Cowherd]

But also, you know, when they small, they have to avoid being fish food.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Colin Cowherd]

So they smarter than you think, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Trust me, they not. They not. Hey, take. Take me out there fishing with you, I guarantee you. Watch, I'm gonna show you. All right.

[Colin Cowherd]

On the money. Says Shador will be playing with the Threes in the preseason with no practice reps. Talk about sabotaging what you think.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, right. Hey, one thing. One thing. One thing about it, baby. When the dealer hand you them cards, you can't say, you know what? I can't do nothing but these. You got to play the hand.

[Colin Cowherd]

But then you dealt brick boy. Yt said, let's say hypothetically, Shador stays fourth quarterback gets cut, traded. Where's your dream spot for him to go? I like the Rams. And have him learn behind Stafford?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't even. I ain't even thinking about. I ain't even think about the hypothetical. He gonna be a brown.

[Colin Cowherd]

Dream spot.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Over there with Jerry?

[Colin Cowherd]

No. Hell no. You don't need to be in that circle. Yeah, I mean, I like. I like. I like. I like the Ram. The Lions.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, Lions. That's a good one.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, I thought Oakland would be a good spot. Regino, but they just signed Gino for a couple of years. Hell, they just signed Jared Goff. Yeah, Dolphins have tour. Hell, they took. They got 50 quarterbacks.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know why they got.

[Colin Cowherd]

Remember we thought we. We thought the Saints were going to take him the first round, the second round, but they seem to look like Spencer Rattler. And they talk. Skull. I think that's how you say his last name. I think they drafted him. Shook. Shook. Shook. They took. They drafted him. So. Och, I done gave up trying to figure it out. SA spurs fans for life. Hey, Uncle Ocho. Shout out to. From Baltimore to you. Do you think to and John Elway have even better careers if they ended up playing for Baltimore? No, John did not want to play for Baltimore. He knew they were moving. They left in the middle of the night in 1984. Packed up the Mayflower vans and headed to Indy. To went to the right situation. Kyle Bowler was what did. Come on, Chris. Redmond Cowbow and I played with Red Dog. Come on, man. An opportunity to play with Donovan, and then he got an opportunity to play with Romo. No, he went to the right situation. John went to the right situation. He got stability. I think Kaiser was his first Phillips, maybe Ky was the first owner. And then he had Mr. B for the. For the next 15 years. Yeah, they went to right. You know, man, the man upstairs don't make no mistakes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

O Joe never does.

[Colin Cowherd]

He doesn't rack of it. With all the gambling incidents going on in the. In the media, what's y' all take on that? Do y' all have any advice for men out there struggling with gambling?

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's. That's you. That's you. You know my black ass. Don't. Excuse me. I'm sorry. You know my don't gamble.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, I mean, I don't. I don't get. If you making 20, 30 million dollars. And you know you're not supposed to be betting on your sport. That's what I don't understand, Ocho. Look, guys want to go play some poker, they want to play some blackjack, or they want to play baccarat or they won't play, you know, crabs or roulette. Okay. But on your sport, when you know that's taboo and you know you can't and you know you can't do it and they're going to see these anomalies. They watching how somebody going to bet 25 unders on one player and you don't think people gonna think that's gonna be suspicious. J.J. carver up. I'm a forward for football. I look forward to the. I'm looking forward to a foot. I don't know what Asro here. I'm looking forward to football season, but as a safe fan, not really any advice to get through the season would be great. Love y'. All. Nightcap crew and mods.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Thanks, man.

[Colin Cowherd]

Without. Without a quarterback, don't you what we doing? Absolutely. Absolutely not do it, Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely nothing. Hoping for the best. Hoping for the best.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, y'. All. Y' all got your work cut out for. For you. Kevin Norwood Jr. My question is, if you were a GM, who would you be Your first pick. Wide receiver. Justin Jefferson. Tank Dale. Ty Hill. Sterling Sharp. Well, I think it comes down to Jetta, Reek and my brother. Very, very different receivers. Very. I mean, bro, you got. I mean, Ojo, you got. I'm talking about Jenna is very different to Tyreek. Tyreek is very different from my brother. My brother is very different From Jetta. All of them are different than Tank. Now Tank is injured, so he probably. Maybe Nico Collins would have been a better pick. Probably going to be like, who my quarterback? But I'm taking my brother triple crown, three time, first team all pro, led the league. And receiving back to back hunter catch seasons. Look, you looking for speed. I mean. I mean, you only got two. I mean, what you got when it comes to speed? Deep threats. You got moss, you got Reek, you got Deshawn, you got Bullet, Bob Hayes. Bullet Bob Hayes was the first deep threat. Bullet Bob Hayes made. Made teams go to the zone defense. Because before Bob Hayes, everybody played man. But you got the fastest man in the world. Literally the fastest man in the world. And you try to play man coverage. How you think that worked out?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Good.

[Colin Cowherd]

No, exactly. Nehemiah jp Per NFL rules, can negotiate directly with a player. If not, they can find Jerry for admitting he tried to negotiate with him. The thing is, like I said, if Michael says, I'm representing myself. Ocho a give him example. Ocho we look. I said, Ocho such and such. Hey, Ocho say talk to Doug, okay? Ain't no sense in me trying to negotiate with Ocho. Ocho said he has representation. That's who he wants us to talk to. Boom, no problem. If Ocho said okay, okay. What you talking about? What you thinking? Well, and then Doug come and say, man, why'd you. I said, hey. Ocho asked me what was I thinking. I told him what I was thinking. He said, okay, Done deal. Jerry knows Micah has representation. He knows his agent is David Bugaletta. He knew that. Just like he knows that agent. So if that's the. Why aren't you. Why did. You don't like working with agents. Why don't you work directly with Dak?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, Dak don't play that. Now.

[Colin Cowherd]

Did you work directly with CD?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Who?

[Colin Cowherd]

CD's agent. Yeah. Or Zach Martin. Me and Zach Martin. Zach Martin is in year 10, year 11. Oh, he got CAA. Okay, so why would you want. Why would you want to work. Why would you not work directly with Dak? That's the one you wanted to work directly with and try to get a sweetheart deal.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, no, he don't play that.

[Colin Cowherd]

Because he ain't gonna let you pull no fast one over on him. Gotcha. These babies said, oh, when Spank gave you his gold jacket, what were your thoughts, feelings and emotion at that moment? Love you guys. Oo, you need to pay. Pay asap. I didn't. I'm thinking. I'm like, bro, wait, where are you going with this? Because the first of all, I was surprised that he called me up. Okay, he got two minutes. Want me to come up there, stand beside him? I didn't know the story. I mean, everybody, I mean, for the most part, a lot of people knew that my first super bowl ring I gave to him because as I told, I told, and I told NBC at the time I was doing, doing it, I said, we win this game, I'm gonna give him the super bowl ring. And they asked because it would mean more for me to give it to him, for me to wear it, because I'm not here without him. And I'm never, I'm never gonna feel wearing that ring. What I feel for him. No brainer for me. And so when he said, well, I don't really have anything of athletic value. I ain't got no, you know, I ain't got no super bowl rings, I ain't got no this, you know, I ain't got no, you know, one on one playing card. Only thing I gotta value is this gold jacket. And I want you to have it. What do you say? What can you say? Like, wow, he just got his cloak to go into football heaven. And everything that he's ever done, sports wise, he did it for me because he wanted me to look up to him and not look outside for a hero or for a role model. And the only thing that I have a value right now or ever have a value, there's a gold jacket. Take it. Yeah. Now pay me my money.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Who me?

[Colin Cowherd]

OG Thanos said, what's up, Uncle Nocho? Which quarterback has the most pressure to have a good season this year? Oh, there a bunch of them Dak Anthony Richardson tour.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Trying to think. Pressure, pressure, pressure.

[Colin Cowherd]

They got first of all, the big three. Joe Burrow. Lamar.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Colin Cowherd]

Josh Allen. Somebody got to be in the. What are the. What are those three got to be back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

There's no pressure on them because if they don't have a great. If, listen, they're going to have a good season. But if, if they don't make a Super bowl, it's not like, oh, they own a hot seat, nothing like that. So there's, there's really no not going.

[Colin Cowherd]

To be on the hot seat. But we are like, like, okay, well, how much longer we got to wait? You got. I mean, because guess what? All three of those guys, we believe all three of those guys going to be in what, Ocho MVP conversation.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely.

[Colin Cowherd]

Lamar's one too. Some believe. I know you believe. I believe that lamar should have three. Now, can you imagine the pressure one feels with three MVPs and no super Bowls?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Colin Cowherd]

Not even gotten to one. At least Aaron before he started winning all he got to a Super Bowl. He won it as he won more MVPs he didn't get back, but he won it. So you just need one and be just one. But I think Dak. Who else do we mention? We said Dak. Who else do we mention, Ocho?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, you. I said tua.

[Colin Cowherd]

Tua.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah.

[Colin Cowherd]

Anthony Richardson.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Anthony Richardson. He got. Ain't got to get. Ain't got to have it, boy.

[Colin Cowherd]

I think Caleb Williams under some pressure, too. He got Ben. He got Ben Johnson. They don't care you're the number one pick in the draft. Ocho, you saw what C.J. shroud did in year one. You saw what Jaden Daniels did in year one, and he got Ben Johnson. You saw what Ben Johnson did with Jared Goff. Okay? And you see the weapons that they gave him. D.J. moore. What's the receiver out of Washington? Got him two tight ends. Rome Medunze. Got him cold commit. Got him two tight ends, rebuilt the offensive line. He got a shine, Ocho. He gotta shine.
