Hi, it's Colin from the Colin Coward podcast. I've been around long enough to know quality when I see it, or in.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
This case, when I taste it.
Jake Hofer
Tito's handmade vodka.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Good stuff. No flash, no gimmick.
Shannon Sharpe
Smooth, clean tasting, made the right way.
Jake Hofer
Tito's made in Austin, Texas. Real attention to detail. I like to keep it simple. Tito's soda, one lime. Lot of ice.
Shannon Sharpe
Refreshing, easy.
Jake Hofer
Summer, winter, spring. Totally versatile. Always works. Listen, baseball season's here.
Shannon Sharpe
The perfect time to kick back with some Tito's.
Jake Hofer
It's what I pour.
Shannon Sharpe
You should too.

I'm Jake Kofer and this is back 40, a limited series show on Wire to Hunt, part of Meat Eaters Podcast Network. Each episode I'll be asking eight whitetail hunting pros a focused, thought provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Should you? That's what the real question is. Stand without good access is not a good stand.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You have one of the best players in the league. But with Jordan Love making 55 million a year, Michael Parsons making 47 million a year, how will they build a strong enough roster?
Shannon Sharpe
But they have a strong roster already.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They do.
Shannon Sharpe
Have you seen. Have you seen the. The packers offense? Are y' all tripping? Have y' all been paying attention to football? Let's please remember and understand this is the perfect time where you don't have a high Salary at the receiver position. You don't have any high salaries at the skill position on the other side of the ball either.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You got rid of Alexander.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. So you Good.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So you got. And plus you got two bookends. Remember, we had a. What's Rashawn Gary.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So you got him on one side, you got Michael on the other side. So now you got a tandem that could go hunt the quarterback Jordan Love. All you gotta do is get him a lead.
Shannon Sharpe
That's it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Get him a lead and turn them loose.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's the way. That's the way the Broncos won the Super Bowl. They get a lead and then they unleash DeMarcus Ware and they unleash Von Miller on your ass.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, that's it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Yeah. That's what they did.
Shannon Sharpe
Everybody else flying around.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yep.
Shannon Sharpe
The Green Bay packets have a very, very, very, very good receiving core. Very good receiving core. Understand this is a passing league right now. They got some boys over there and they can go. They can go.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Listen, for me, I like the packers doing this because they're going for it right now. I'm not waiting. But if you force me. Oo. They're not better. They're not better than the Eagles.
Shannon Sharpe
No.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Healthy, healthy. Matthew Stafford. They're not better than the Rams with Puka, with Kyron Williams, with Devonte Adams, Matthew Stafford. And you got verse. And you got that bonded pass rush from the left. They're not for, to, for me, I'm.
Shannon Sharpe
Just saying to me, you can dis.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You can disagree with it, but I think the Eagles and the Rams are better than the Packers. That, that is just my opinion.
Shannon Sharpe
Right? I don't, I don't think so. Not, not with the addition of Micah Night. With the addition of Micah. I put the Eagles and the packers before the Rams.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, I put, I put, I put the Eagles. I put the Eagles. I let the Eagles won. I got the Rams too. I'm not so sure I got, I want to, I want to see the commanders, but I think the commander is going to be really good. Oh, yeah, I think, I think Vaughn's going to have a research. I think Vaughn's going to have a resurgence there. I, I, I, let's see what Lattimore, because Latimore, the last couple of years. Oh, his play slipped a little. No, he's playing slipped a lot.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. Listen, for one, he was coming, he coming off injury last year. He had to get his feet back wet, get back acclimated to getting into a groove. Of the game. So he was always one step behind. He was always one step behind. This year, he's coming in a lot more.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
A lot.
Shannon Sharpe
A lot healthier. So I'm. Look, I'm looking forward to him doing great things for them defensively. So he should get back to playing the kind of football we know he can play, and we're used to seeing him play. So I think they're going to be.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
All right in that division, the quarterbacks. Hey, Caleb Williams, you got to go hunting. Jerry, Golf, you got to go hunting. J.J. mcCarthy, you got to go hunt him. Now, the thing that I do like, like, he does, see, and plus, the weather, Mike, is going to have to adjust. Michael's not used to playing in cold, cold and green. Hey, wait.
Shannon Sharpe
Penn State, man. Penn State. It's cold up there now, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
By the time it get cold, season over. You got to realize they season over in November. Oh, yo. Damn. And then they go to play in the rose mode.
Shannon Sharpe
Right, right, right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, Green Bay, you practice outside Ocho?
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Chicago. Outside Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah. I like it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So look. Look, it. It gets. It gets cold in Dallas and in Philly, you know, Washington. I don't know if anybody. I don't know if y' all been to Wisconsin. Yeah, I don't know if. I don't know if you've ever been in Lambeau Field. I've been there, but that ain't a place you want to be in November, December, or January. Trust me. My brother played there for seven years. I played there. I visited there. I played there. Man, that cold ain't. Hey, man, that. That. That's that wet, heavy, cold. I'm talking about that. That got heavy moisture.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'm talking about, you know, sun. I was so cold there. The sun rose with an overcoat on like that. Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
It's the kind of cold that make you think about your occupation.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
You're like, but do I really want to do this? Do I really want to play NFL football? That's how cold it get in Green Bay. I love it, though. Boy. I love me some cold.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Boy, I got my hand right here.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, anything below 30 degrees, count me in. Count me in.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Nah, I want 85. I want 85 and Sunny.
Shannon Sharpe
I love that cold, but I don't know what it is about that cold.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't.
Shannon Sharpe
I love it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Hey, you. Hey, you remember in April, what that weather was like when we was out there in April at the draft? You like.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah. Had a little spike to it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, that is April.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, hey, rest his old prince. When Prince says sometimes it snows in April, I was like, that's a song. Is it real? Because Micah announces the number that he's going to wear. He's going to wear the number one is the first piece. The first packer to wear that number since Curly Lambeau, former head coach.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, that's lies.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Lambeau Field is named after.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The Lombardi Trophy is named after Vince Lombardi. So.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'm surprised. Hold on. Somebody got number 11.
Shannon Sharpe
He couldn't.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Don't, don't. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
J. Reed got 11.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know. No, no, no, no. J. Re. You can't get. You can't get Curly Lamb, rest his soul. You can't get that number, man. You gotta. You got to be really, you got to be. No, you got to be Jamar Chase or Justin Jefferson, somebody like that, to ask for that number, right?

Shannon Sharpe
Yo.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Eight months time, Dallas, two biggest superstars have been traded. Luka Doncic, Michael Parsons have left the city because the owners don't want to pay. The Luca situation. I mean, you talk about 350 million, Ocho. That's what that. That's what you're looking at. 350. 350. They're like 350. I know he's 26, but his, his off the field habits. Look, play it like that. Yeah, I bring. If he gonna give me 30, he gonna give me 30. 10 and 8. I got a little pony cake for him when he come out to practice.
Shannon Sharpe
For him, that's exactly what he gonna give you every time. But I still don't understand it, but I think still there's some deeper Issues to it that we don't know about that haven't come out because that just didn't make any sense to me. It just didn't. Hell, the Michael one didn't make any sense either. But. But I knew. I knew. Knowing Micah, I'm. Even if I didn't know him personally, hearing the owner say some of the things that Jerry Jones said out loud, there's no way I'm playing for that again. I'm not stepping on the field for you. I'm not fighting for you. Not having.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The big payday resulted in Michael Parsons being able to retire his mother, Sharice Parsons, from work. He posted a video of him celebrating with her on his Instagram story, writing that moment when mama never got to go to work again. Watch this. Oo.
Shannon Sharpe
That'S dope. That's dope. That's one of the greatest feelings in the world. One of the greatest feelings in the world. Obviously, my grandmother was a little different once I made it. Obviously, I didn't get that kind of money once I got drafted. I remember telling grandma, say, baby, we finally made it. You can move out of Liberty City. You don't have to be here anymore. And my grandma, you know how they are. They setting their ways on. They said, boy, I am not going nowhere. You know how long this house has been here? This house was passed down to me from my mama and from my mom, my mom's mom. Pass. I ain't going nowhere. I appreciate you. I'm glad you made it. I made a lot of sacrifices for you to get to where you are now. I said, I know you did. That's why I want to repay you. Get you a nice place, get you a nice car. Now I take. I take some on four wheels. That's what my grandma talk. I take some on four wheels, but I'm not getting no house. I will be here.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
My grandma never learned how to drive. A want to learn how to drive. She go and get on that passenger seat every time right there. Come on. Tell you how to drive. Don't you need to put your blank on, Granny, you ain't never had no driver life. How you know what I'm doing wrong? Right?
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
How fast you going over there? What difference does it make? You ain't got no break over there, right? But you're right, Ocho. Them old people, they get, hey, you know, I told the story like, Ocho. I would give my grandmother. I would come home, give my grandma 2500. She said she's sending Libby up there with 50 Libby, go pay on that bill. Pay on the bill. Granny just pay it off. Ocho, she owe a hundred dollars. She done got a hundred worth of grocery over the course of a couple of. Couple of weeks or something like that.
Shannon Sharpe
Right, right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
She lived there with a little piece of 50. He'll let me put something on it. He'll let me go pay this thing off.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey. Oh, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't know why old people like that. Oh, yo. The mere fact that she was still putting stuff on credit.
Shannon Sharpe
Credit. Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's how them old people are wired. We gotta take. We have to have one of my uncles to come take my grandma fishing to put a refrigerator. Put a washer and dryer. Libby, don't bother them boys. Let. That's their money. Don't bother them boys with that. You got to scoop water out the washer to get it because it won't. It won't. It won't spin. The water won't come out. You gotta scoop the water up out of there. Yeah, the refrigerator. The refrigerator is 72 degrees. They put. Ocho. She'd have my. She'd have my sister go to the hardware store and buy a cooler. So buy. Go get ice from the convenience store and then put the stuff on the cooler. The refrigerator don't work.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But that's how. That's how the old people think. Oh, Joe. Yeah, leave it. Don't bother them boys. We okay?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Oh, some good days, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's a great feeling. Congratulations, Michael Cherise. Enjoy retirement. Enjoy retirement. Yeah. Kick your feet up. And guess what, son? I'm coming to see you every weekend.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Coming to see you every weekend.
Shannon Sharpe
And. And make sure I have a suite, too, because I don't want to sit outside in the cold.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, yeah. But I think the thing is, Ocho, like, if he had gotten his money, I don't know, she might not want to leave. He's from Harrisburg, so I don't know if she still lives in Harrisburg or she want to move to Dallas and be close. But, hey, wherever you want, Mama, whatever you want. I'm going to get you a nice little house that you know you only not. Mama, no. 3, $4 million. Get you a nice little crib, right? Have somebody come in once a week, clean this thing for your mom. Hey, don't you worry about anything. Get you a Go sit this thing out for your mom. Take a load off your feet. New Cowboys defensive tackle Kenny Clark had no idea he was going to be traded from Green Bay to Dallas as part of the Michael Parsons deal. I was shocked. But once Jerry and all those guys called me, shot it, everybody. I just felt wanted. It's a blessing. I'm appreciative of it. No, nonsense. You're going to get a dog. Somebody. That's all about. That's all just all about football. I'm here to ball. I'm here to be my. To be my best self. I feel like without my best self, there's nobody messing with me. That's what I bring to the table. I'm here to play my ass off.
Shannon Sharpe
I like it. I like it. Saying all the right things.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes, he can play.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah. Kenny Clark can go now. And I just. I mean, the whole comments about. They make me feel wanted. Obvious. If you heard. If you heard some of the things the guy who owns the team over there said. Of course, that ain't what he said.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
About the guy that he tr. That you. You got traded for. He didn't make him feel.
Shannon Sharpe
Listen, hey, anytime you get something new, you get a new little toy, you know? Of course. You know, you always make it. Make it. Make it. Make it feel like it's something.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, new relationship.
Shannon Sharpe
You know how that go. You know how that go.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. He. He. She bad at you. Yeah, yeah. You know, you get right. Your boy she back.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Would you tell me. Yeah, I know. That's. That's how the Cowboys looking at Kenny Clark right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got. We. Hey, nice.
Shannon Sharpe
Got us one.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But the guy that you shipped out, you need to make him feel like the way y' all make Kenny Clark. The question is, if I were to ask Michael Parsons, oh, last eight months, did they make you feel wanted? Because you could have did. You could have signed. You could have done something after year three.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You didn't. Now, it was going to be virtually impossible to sign Dax, CD and, well, you got that. Yo, you got Dak and cd. And then guess what? Now I try to get Micah. Well, it's. You get them early. Get them early. Yeah, because late. And you thought, oh, I was gonna give him the highest. The Highest contract, man, 40 and a half.
Shannon Sharpe
Highest. What? Stop lying.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Hey, that's what. Yeah. I mean, you ain't got no state income tax, but you know what? 47. I'm good. Yeah, I get. I get Uncle Savvy. A little cut.
Shannon Sharpe
Whatever you got. Whatever you need.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The NFL is lifting their media ban on Tom Brady, and he will now be allowed to attend production meeting with coaches and teams. Unfair advantage for the Raiders Ocho or is it a big deal?
Shannon Sharpe
It's not a big deal at all. Not a big deal at all. Obviously. I mean there's really nothing Tom is going to do. You know, being in that position to be able to attend those meetings like that. It's no harm, no foul. I mean, no harm, no foul. I, I like it. I mean what is Tom going to do in general? What is he going to do advantage it for Tom or the Raiders in any way, shape, form or fashion? It's not.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, it absolutely is. So what they go, so what the coach, what y' all talk about when they ask you when you win those production meeting, what do they ask you? Do you think any of the teams that he's going to cover, do you think the Raiders gonna play him?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, probably.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Are those any team that he's going to cover on Sunday? Will they play the Raiders?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, they, they do.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But do you think he could pass any information back to the offenses or defensive coaches for the Raiders?
Shannon Sharpe
I have a question now. Is there anything Tom Brady can say that they don't already see on film that's going to help them on Sunday when the whistle blows in between those lines? No.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Tom Brady here in the coaches said this is what we like to do in this down and distance.
Shannon Sharpe
That doesn't mean you're going to be able to stop it. Because even if they do tell Tom Brady that the tendencies that and what they like to do is already on film.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Let me ask you this. If you didn't gain an unfair advantage, why did they put, why did they give the defensive captain the radio signal? So why don't anybody signal in plays any anymore if they didn't? Nobody gained an advantage by taping the signals. Why did the defensive guy got a helmet? Got it. Now if that was the case, why did they put the sign, why did they put that thing in the, in the quarterback's helmet if nobody got gained an advantage by anything?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I, I, I mean I'm just, I'm just telling you. Me, me and, and my thought process is just because Tom Brady knows what other teams are doing and those teams might play the Raiders, that still doesn't put the Raiders in an advantageous situation just because of they like to do. Because whatever they do like to do is already on film. Whatever they tell Tom in those production meetings is already on film.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So you don't. So, so one of the greatest minds to ever play the quarterback position, he couldn't, he can't add nothing.
Shannon Sharpe
He had nothing. No, because the Greatest mind that. That played the position. He doesn't play anymore.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He don't need to play.
Shannon Sharpe
He doesn't play anymore.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
What you need to do.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, if that's the case and everybody would look to.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Come on. Everybody ain't like that. So. So in other words, if that's the case, why you out there helping those receivers? You can't play anymore.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah, yeah. This is me. I can, I can show them how to.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You want to help everybody with their diet? You want to help, like, when they work out?
Shannon Sharpe
I got, I got my certificate. My. My certification as a nutritionist. That's. Oh, you did that program? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Matter of fact, Micah hit me. He. I. Mikey gonna be my third client.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Damn. Pretty soon you might not even, you know, want to work on Nightcap. You'll have all these meal preps.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm gonna always be here because all the meal prep stuff I do, I do in the morning and afternoon.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Let me ask you a question, though. How would you feel getting interviewed by Tom Brady?
Shannon Sharpe
Me?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So you, you a player coming in and, you know, you go into production meeting, you've all been.
Shannon Sharpe
It's gonna be straight jokes. It's gonna be straight jokes. The same way I am with you. Say I'm in with Prime. It's the same way I am with Tom. It's the same way I'm with Bill Belichick. It's the same way I am with Roger Goodell. It doesn't matter who's sitting in front of me. You still get the same mocho. Them jokes is gonna fly. You might try to be serious. I'm gonna find a way to wiggle around the seriousness.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Keep everything light hearted. Yeah, always.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, it's just like anything when you went in there and you. I'm a. To see all those guys that you grew up watching and listening to.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, sir.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The great. You know, the John Madden and the Pat Summeralls and you know, the Dickens Bergs and Chris Collinsworth and, you know, you, you like, man. Man, I'm like, you know all those, man. It's like, gee, but man, that got me. We have no guy like Tom that's sitting down, talking. We had some quarterbacks and they were in the hall of fame, but that's the guy. Yeah, that is the guy. But that'd be really cool. Christian McCaffrey played only four games last season. Ocho because of injuries. He had a league leading 339 touches in 20, 23 and has 807, 1871 touches in his eight seasons. That's not. That's not a whole lot. That's a little over 220. That's a little over 225 to about 240, which ain't. Hey, that ain't a whole lot of touches.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But I guess it's. He's on a little smaller side. 205. That's a lot of touching for two or five. But Kyle Shanahan, the 49ers aren't worried about any of that. I like to watch how the guy moves and how he's out there. I see Christian looking the same as he's always looked, so I don't really think about his age when it comes to that case. Now, if he started looking different, then I'd probably start questioning some of the things. Then I'd probably be looking at how old he is or look at. At that 30 thing. But Kristen gives us no reason to think that he came in healthy this year. He's had a hell of an off season, and he's got a hell of a training camp. I believe that's going to lead to a hell of a year.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I like it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I agree.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I mean, I. I agree, too. As long as he stays healthy. I agree.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Normally when he misses a seasonal choke, he come back and he raised hell.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. He give you that work. Christian McCaffrey is extremely, extremely skilled. So when his decline will look different than anyone else in decline, you know, when. When they. When they lose a step. But for him, I'm excited. I think as he goes, the rest of that team goes as well, because they don't have to me a viable number one option as a receiving threat.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
That pressure off of Alpha Purdy. So I think in itself is going to have to be carried on the shoulders of goddamn cmac. He gonna have. He gonna have to be that workhorse. He'll have to be that workload to get them boys going.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, Kyle's gonna have to be on this. He's gonna have to be on his A game, calling plays, because like you said, they don't really have it.

You know, he had an okay rookie season, but hadn't been able to to recapture what he did his rookie season at Kansas City. City turned into a pretty good returner. So we're gonna see. We're gonna see early on, but Kyle. I think Kyle's gonna have to have one of his better seasons calling plays.
Shannon Sharpe
On Joe Juan Jennings. Is he. Is Juwan Jennings. He's still there?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, he's there. I don't. I don't think. I don't think he got the contract extension that he was looking for. Yeah, but they got a lot of money tied up and they got a lot of money tied up in Prior. They got a lot of money tied up in Christian McCaffrey. They got a lot of money turned up in Trent Williams. They got a lot of money tied up. And. And Fred Warner. So the other corner. I forget his name. They got a lot of money tied up. So they. They got some money tied up. Oh, kiddo Got money tied up in Kittle. He's the. The highest paid tight end. So you can only play so many guys, Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, you're right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But hopefully see Mac can stay healthy. I want to see him healthy, married, got a new. I think is. She Had. She. She's had the baby, right? His wife, she's had the baby. Christian McCaffrey's wife. Yeah, I think she's had the baby.
Shannon Sharpe
Goddamn Frogs, man. Making all that damn noise, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay, the frog in the house.
Shannon Sharpe
Nah, they. I can hear him outside, man. Sound like a goddamn opera, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. The maiden. The arrival of Cam Ward has created some optimism about the future. What the future holds for the Titans, according to Calvin Ridley. I can feel something in me. It was like, this kid is good and I got to be good. I can't fall behind. I've got. I got to be a help. I got to be a big help. Cause it's time to Dominate.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I like it, I like it. Listen, listen. When you, when, when a quarterback, when you get a quarterback like Cam Wood, they coming out and he throwing them dots at you, you know, running short, whether you running immediate, you going deep and you putting them balls in the bucket on you like that. And you got a chance to experience that not only through training camp, but hell, goddamn OTAs. And then you say, well, hold on, I got me one. I ain't had nothing like this outside of when I was in Atlanta. I had with Matt Ryan, but Matt Ryan. But now I got this boy, Cam. What, man? Stop playing, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Man, you remember that last year he was in Atlanta, Ocho?
Shannon Sharpe
That was. I was going to be that one.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Bad cause that joker stop on the dime to be a big receiver and to get in and out of break like that.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, like you said, hey, he rot your ass up quick.
Shannon Sharpe
In a hurry. Quicken in a hurry.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, I mean, he, he complete can run the tree, could high point the ball. Great. In and out of breaks, run after the catch. I love cavalry. Hey, hey, you know, Alabama had a run. Now, right now, lsu, LSU kind of dominate. LSU and Ohio State dominating the receiver market. I mean, Alabama might be third, but there was a time when, you know, they, they would. But right now, ain't nobody messing with lsu. LSU got it right now.
Shannon Sharpe
LSU running away with it right now.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They got, they got 1, 2, and then you got probably like 8, 9.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Whoever you think Brian Thomas Jr. And neighbors are.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Maybe when, when Jeremiah Smith come out, it'll probably, it'll probably bring Ohio State a little closer to competing.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
But right now, LSU hands down 98.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Because you getting chasing Jenna about to go into their primes. Yeah, yeah, they about to go into their prime. They, they, they go, they go dominate for a little while longer. The Jazz GM Darren Moogie believes Justin Fields can be the next late blooming franchise quarterback, much like Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold. I do believe Justin can be one of those guys. I've seen progress during camp and look forward to seeing the progress throughout the season as they all come together. Obviously it's the third start in three years with three different coordinators and a lot of moving parts. So it doesn't, so it does take time. But I like where he's at. I look forward to watching the progress Ocho of the. Over the course of four years, he's played for three different head coaches and offensive coordinators.
Shannon Sharpe
I kind of like what he said, but obviously the Baker Mayfield situation, you Understand the type of team he's around. For him to be able to, to have the resurgence that he's had. When he was at Cleveland, you know, before he was at Cleveland, before he was with the Panthers, the team around him, you know, they, they, they have a team around him that he can work with. It's the right situation. It just makes Justin field. He also can be that quarterback as well. But you guys have to make sure you continue to put the pieces around him. He has some right now. Yeah. You know, the breeze halls and the Garrett Wilsons and, and Lazard and some of, some of the, the other people you have. But you have to continue to build around him and play to his strengths.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yep, I agree.
Shannon Sharpe
That's it. And you can get exactly the situation that you're talking about when you buy into making sure your quarterback has all the tools necessary to succeed.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You want me to win this war? Just give me, just give me the tools.
Shannon Sharpe
That's all I need.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Just give me the tools. You don't want me to win? Give me the tools. Hey, don't sit back there with a musket. Give me some drones. I need drones now. Hey, I don't need no cannons. I don't need no cannonballs. I need drones. I need stuff with GPS tracking. I need that high grade US Military.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So I, I agree with you, Ocho. You know, it's, it's tough. Head coach, different head coach, different systems. Year after year after year after year. You just want to get somewhere and feel comfortable. It's kind of like, you know, it's kind of like he'd been living in a hotel, you know, Bro, I want to get someplace I can call home.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I just want to hear one. I just want to hear the same voice. Can I hear the same voice for two years in a row? Three years in a row? Can I do that? Same voice, same system, man, that would show. Be nice. I like it. But we'll see what he does. Oh, Joe. Tinsel was. Tensions were high at the u. S. Open. Taylor Townsend defeated Latvia's Yelena Ostapinko. Oh. Thompson defeated the 25th ranked Ostapinko 7561. After the match, Ostapenko confronted Townsend as they shook hands at the net while exiting the court. Yeah. Then spoke about it, said, it's competition. People get upset when they lose. Some people say bad things. She told me I have no class, no education.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
What happens when we get outside the U.S. oh, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
That was okay. I like that. I like that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That Was. I mean, that's spicy talk.
Shannon Sharpe
That's spicy talk. Not from what I would have from, but what I understand and what I know about the situation. She's already beaten her outside of the US If I'm not mistaken. I did my homework. So based on what she said in her comeback after losing at the US Open, it didn't make any sense because I've already beat you outside the US and you just have to understand on how to lose better gracefully at sportsmanship and lose gracefully, you know, that's all. That's all. But this is good for the sport, Uncle. This is good for the sport. Obviously, everything when it comes to tennis is always about sportsmanship and no shaking hands and being nice. Let's have a little controversy. Let's have a controversy. So those who don't watch the sport. Well, hell, Taylor Townsend got into it with somebody. Well, I want to see what this young lady is all about.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, if you don't watch support, you don't know who. Taylor, Towson or Yellen, you're gonna know.
Shannon Sharpe
Because it's on the news, because they had some type of. And it's going to attract viewers to. To watch tennis. You know, obviously, you and I, we both watch the game of tennis, so.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I watch as much as I used to. Now that Serena stepped away from the game.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Venus has stepped away from the game. I used to watch tennis a lot, lot, lot, lot, lots. But this was way back when they had, you know, when Stephanie Graff and Monica Sellers and all those were. That were really, really involved.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Gabriella Sabatini, you know, and then, you know, Serena came onto the scene and Stozier and Clem Clysters and Martina Hingis, Lindsey Davenport, you know, Capriati, but. And then she came up with all this things talking about, well, Ocho, what you're supposed to do if you get one, if the ball hits the net and it bounces over, you're supposed to hold your racket up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That wasn't supposed to happen.
Shannon Sharpe
All right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, and, you know, normally when you warming up, you start at the back, you know, the baseline, and then you go to volley.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Taylor, I guess you said Taylor started with the volley first and. Man, stop it.
Shannon Sharpe
But those. Those.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You thought everybody. That ain't why you lost.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Those must be unwritten rules in the game.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It. It. They are normal because you see it a lot of time. If somebody hit the net and the ball goes over you, like you hold your racket up, said, I'm sorry, my bad, my bad. And you know, like. And you know, you warm up from the baseline, but then, you know, you as you. You come in and so forth and so on, bro. Okay, so that's right. You. So that's why you lost. Because she didn't acknowledge, like, oh, I'm sorry, my bad. That. That was what. You should have won that point. I didn't. She didn't do that. Oh, because I. I volleyed first instead of, you know, play. I was at the net instead of baseline. That's why you lost. So that's why you lost.
Shannon Sharpe
No, not at all.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, it wasn't. Stop that. And then you go, hold on. Then you're going to talk about you have no class, no education. Like I said, I don't know if she knows the stereotypes that's around Americans, so I don't know if there's a whole lot of black Latvians. So don't start me lying on you. I ain't been sitting here and say, man, she should have known. You don't know what you don't know.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So he probably did. I mean, but you have to be careful. That's why you have to be careful how you talk to people. That's not native to your country or you're not in your country. Right. Because you don't know. Oh, absolutely. That's. That's offensive. Absolutely. There's a racial undertone. She probably didn't even know she know.
Shannon Sharpe
But it's 2025. She know. Obviously, certain people feel they're superior to those in this case than Miss. Than Ms. Townsend, which is why the words that came out of your mouth is what was said. It's common sense. You know exactly what you're saying.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No class, no education.
Shannon Sharpe
You understand the undertone and what that means?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, I want to give it a benefit of the doubt.
Shannon Sharpe
Hell. Hell, no. Hell, no. We know exactly what we said. We know exactly what we said.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. So you just. You have. You have to be. You have to be mindful of how you talk to people in their country. I mean, I would. I wouldn't go. I wouldn't go to, you know, Roland Garo, so I wouldn't go to. I wouldn't go to Austria, the Aussie open and say. And say something. You know that. Because I don't know what's. What's disrespectful, something that we might think is innocent. But I do know if I say somebody doesn't have class, they don't have Any education. It don't matter what color you are disrespectful.
Shannon Sharpe
It don't matter what country you're in and what language you say that in. It's defensive everywhere you go.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But if you say that to the. If in your pinko's case, right? She said what she said being her color, her complexion, her race. And she said that to Ms. Townsend and her being her race. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Got me, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But Taylor said, hey, I let my racket do the talking.
Shannon Sharpe
That's it. That's it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I let my racket do the talking. All that other.
Shannon Sharpe
As a matter of fact, you should have told her, I see you at the next tournament.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. And you say something like that again, this racket gonna be a toothpick. Because I'm beat it to a toothpick. Side you now let me stop. That ain't gonna be the. Hey, Taylor, like, you know what? I got a child face. You got a child. Didn't she just have a. Didn't she have a child recently? Yeah. So she's like, look, I. I ain't got time. I'm gonna be a. I'm gonna be a positive role model for my child, right? And me getting into it, she held it very well because she pointing all in the girl all in the face. Where they do that at? They do that in Lafayette.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
We don't. We don't do that.
Shannon Sharpe
Man. You know how women.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ain't nobody let you just put their finger. Even if it's competition. Ain't nobody finna just let you, Especially tennis. I bet you would have did that to be o ring. He would have did that, Arena. Oh, they would. They play with ring.
Shannon Sharpe
Nah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ring tell. Hey, don't you talk to me. You already cost me a point with that bull Jack called. Don't you talk to me. I get a ring. Get Arena. Don't talk to me. They were. They were cheating. Rena Lionsgate is holding a screening of the Long Walk.

Food, but to be born in the parking lot in the vicinity of those fries or those burgers. That smell. That aroma, please.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I kind of. I kind of like the Listerine and hospital smells.
Shannon Sharpe

Shannon Sharpe
Mary. Mary. Mary Joseph. Mary Joseph. I mean, what, like the 50s and 60s? Everybody's name was long as hell.

Shannon Sharpe
That's. That's a good question.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hell, no. No, no. How you gonna have a Shannon Lamont standing?
Shannon Sharpe
Shannon Lamont Sharp. Nah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Guess what? A middle name don't even fit me. Well, you think about it. I don't go so. I mean, 57 years and I'd have a middle name. I ain't got no middle. Oh, well, I guess, Ocho, the age old's question, who should pay on a first date has been reignited. A 28 year old woman took to Reddit to share her dating experience, saying, we got burgers, fries to share. I ordered to cover the tip. Oh, I offered to cover the tip since he paid for the meal.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He accepted, and everything seemed fine until the next morning. This morning I woke up to a Venmo Request for 3.25 with a note, half the fries.
Shannon Sharpe
Hold on. So, okay, I'm confused. He just wanted money back. He was trying to spit everything down the middle then, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes. Okay, Offered to pay. He offered to pay for the meal.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
She left the tip.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They agreed, right? Then she get a Venmo, and she got a Venmo request the next morning for 325 with a note, half the fries, man, y' all doing too much. Yeah, y' all just want something for us to talk about.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, they, they, they doing a little.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, come on now. Ain't nobody coming, though. I can see Ocho, if It was a 200 meal, right? Say, okay, we gonna split it, but for fries, you got to go half on Friday, bro. You might. Hey, you need to get out the dating market.
Shannon Sharpe
See, I'm. That's why I'm so glad to be out the game, man. So I have to play these games. I don't have to deal with those problems.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I have to deal with too much issues.
Shannon Sharpe
It just, it's, it's unfortunate. It's unfortunate, everybody. There's always a discourse on 50, 50 and going 80, right? And I'm like, my goodness. Like, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's the dating pool. As most people say, it has piss in it. I don't know why they say that. I think they just try to date with, with unrealistic, unrealistic expectations in general. And nobody wants to act their wage, nobody wants to act their ways, let alone date within their bracket. They always want the. This, this.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Going with the old names, man.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, they still going with the names.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, they talk about Lamont, they talk about Bucky.
Shannon Sharpe
I see that. Hey, I like that. Shannon. Cleophas. Cleophas. That's that old school.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Roosevelt.
Shannon Sharpe
I like that. I like that Roosevelt. That Roosevelt is perfect.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hell no. According to New York Times, bestselling author and CEO, if you give these three kiss of death answers to a question asked by a hiring manager, you're doomed. Saying, I want to start my own business someday. Saying, you value work life balance. Saying, you, you were let go as part of a company's recent layoffs.
Shannon Sharpe
I've never had any of those problems.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
If you working for someone, you can have work life balance. You don't have a job if you doing your own thing. Ain't no work life balance.
Shannon Sharpe
No.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You can't have work life balance. Now, once you get to Jeff Bezos level or you get to Elon Musk level, or you get the. But ask them, did they have work life balance in the beginning? Or you get Bill Gates or Steve Ball or some of these wealthy guys, they might have work life balance now.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.

And the, the objective is, is to like, do what you do what you have to until you can do what you want to. Right. So there will become a time if you, if everything works out in your favor, you can get that balance. But not in the beginning. If you starting your own thing. Yeah. I mean. Cause most of the time, if you work for somebody else, O Joe, you know, hey, you get Saturdays and Sundays off, right? Unless, you know, you working in the sports field now. People kill me. They get into the sports field and talking about, man, we gotta work holidays. Yeah. Sports events happen on holidays, right?
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It happens on weekends. You're going to be away from your family. That's what I tell kid. Okay. Now you a man. I want to do. Really? That's what you want to do? You do realize when sporting events take place, right?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You do realize I say, are you okay being away from your family on Christmas, on Thanksgiving to cover said events and do things like. Are you okay with that? Yeah, well, you know, you know, I come from a. I'll say, okay, well, no, no, you're not. Because you tell me where you come from. Good luck telling your boss. You know, you in the sports business talking about, no, you know, I, I can't work holidays.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying. Okay, let me know how that turns out for you. All right, Ocho, time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A. I'm.
Shannon Sharpe
Ready for tomorrow's show. That's what I'm ready for. I know I'm jumping the Gun. But Texas and Ohio State play tomorrow. But I'm ready.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Kevin Norwood Jr. Said, My question is how many sacks will Micah have when they play Dallas? Week four, six. Well, you know they're going to try to say, but he doesn't play the run. So they're going to try to run the ball at Emoto to try to slow him down. And the thing is a Micah is going to be hyped because he want to prove say, hey, this with y'. All. He gonna be on one now. Cowboys, you better be on your best behavior. You better be on your best behavior.
Shannon Sharpe
It's too late now. It's too late. All that stuff Jerry said to him, all that going to the media, oh, we got better man. Michael might have 10 sacks that damn game.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I would say 2.5. Aaron Owens said traded Michael is wild. But if you feel like you have to trade him, you have to get Lucas Van Ness and an extra pick as well. Dallas most definitely lost this trade.
Shannon Sharpe
No, there's nobody you could trade for that would make the trade equivalent because no one else is giving up a player in their goddamn prime at 26 year olds who's one of the top three at their position. So they were going to lose this trade no matter what, no matter how. You got to see, no matter what you get for it. Because those first round picks you do have, ain't no telling who you gonna get and ain't no telling promising that they gonna turn out to be what you think, right?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So let we we have to see who they draft and what those picks turn into. Now Jerry said, look, we got two first round draft picks who to say we don't package those and go get somebody else. That's what Jerry. I'm just telling what Jerry said. That's what he said. Now if it's a lie, he told it just talking Lonzi underscore xo Is it safe to say that Michael Parsons is a phenomenal player but Aiden Hutchinson is still has an edge over him statistically.
Shannon Sharpe
What is find out. What edge would that be?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't know. Your guy's coming off a serious injury now he got a steel rod in his plate. He says, hey, his heel, it ain't going no place. He has a phenomenal. He has a motor. Yeah, no denying that. He was on his play. Hell, he was like he was about to be defensive player of the year before he ended up breaking his leg. But Michael has done something that only Reggie White can say. At least 12 1/2 sacks the first four years of the NFL. Anytime you're in a category with Reggie.
Shannon Sharpe
You pretty good doing something right?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You, you, you doing pretty good. James Anderson said Parsons and Cooper, double gap blitz coming. They ain't gonna have the blitz. They got Rashad Gary on one side, they got Mike on the other.
Shannon Sharpe
You gotta do nothing. Just syntho.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, that's it. Hey, dts. Hey. Just collapse the pocket pushing to us OG underscore Thanos. What's up, uncle show? Which trade will have more impact on their teams? Mavericks trading away Luca and Dallas? Or, excuse me, Mavs, trading away Luca or Dallas trading or the Cowboys trading away Micah? Look, I'm always gonna take the guy that got the ball in his hands, so.
Shannon Sharpe
Luca.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's what I said. Which. Which would impact more? Trading a quarterback or trading, you know, a defensive guy? No, quarterback. He got the ball. And I think the thing is, I don't believe Michael wanted to be traded. Well, he wanted to be traded once. They were. Must have tried to make him play on that fifth year option.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Michael wanted to be traded. Luca had no idea. I'm talking about zero. Luca did not want to leave Dallas. Did not. That would be the. That would be almost the equivalent of them trading Joe Burrow out of the blue. Or trading, you know, trading somebody like that. You know what I'm saying? Ocho?
Shannon Sharpe
Right, right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Like, what the hell? You got a guy in his prime and you trading?
Shannon Sharpe
That's crazy. That's crazy. Players like this, at this age that are this good, this rarely happens. Rarely happens, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes, fans. N.J. said. Jerry declines. Micah did not. Unsurprised. Lakers in five undecided. Said if somebody said to me, wait until you get outside the US I would have taken that as a threat and then said, let's handle it right here. That boy KS purse. That got a middle name for you, Shannon? Bartholomew.
Shannon Sharpe
Ah, Bartholomew. That's a good one.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
What you call him? Used to call me that. Autumn Wardrobe used to call me Bartholomew. And my wife called me pissed at the Colorado game. Like I did watch the same game she did. Ah, yeah. East Coast Cab said Prime needs to let offensive coordinator go. In fact, send him to the transfer portal. Yeah, that. Yeah, that was. Oh, that was. They left a lot to be desired tonight. OO on both sides of the ball. But I was really, really disappointed with the. The defense giving up 320 yards rushing on 47 attempts, three touchdowns. Quarterback put, you know, put you up by seven late the ball game with a 45 yard run. Yeah, that was not good. Thank you for joining us for another episode of Nightcap.
