Key Segments & Highlights

Rookie Hazing Stories & NFL Camp Pranks (03:50–24:00)

Hazing Traditions and Pranks

• Shannon reminisces about notorious pranks from his rookie days, like slathering toothpaste on doors, penny-locking teammates in rooms, and setting elaborate traps with syrup, water, feathers, and trash cans.
  • “We fill it up with syrup, water, and flour, and we cut up the pillows and dump the feathers in there.” (05:48–05:55)
• The crew jokes about “penny-locking” — using coins to jam doors shut so rookies can’t escape.
  • Michael Irvin: “I ain’t never seen that.” (04:47)
• More pranks: dumping trash, popcorn in cars, tying rookies to goal posts, soaking rookies in Gatorade.
  • “We steal somebody's car and drive it about a mile away, leave it running, doors open, lights on…” – Shannon Sharpe (07:07)
• Shannon tells of the pain and cost of rookie team dinners, with teammates ordering expensive steaks and wine, and rookie cards almost maxing out.
  • “...cost him like, 22... $22,500.” – Shannon Sharpe (09:32–09:36)

Lines on Team Rites of Passage

• Michael Irvin: “When I was a veteran, I never made the rookie have to do anything. You ain’t gotta carry my pad, you ain’t gotta carry my helmet. I was cool. I was just chillin’, man.” (12:15)
• Irvin and Sharpe recall food runs and over-the-top demands—donuts, coffee, Popeyes—for the veterans.
  • “They want six glazed and jelly donuts… breakfast sandwiches, bacon, egg and cheese, sausage, all that…” – Shannon (13:24–13:34)
  • Shannon finally rebels: “By week eight or week nine, I just told ’em, I ain’t bringing no more donuts.” (14:10–14:12)
• Johnson: “The worst thing in the NBA was when they made all the rookies carry these little girl backpacks.” (25:06)
• Panel reflects on the line between tradition and bullying, highlighting that “grown men don’t play like that.”
  • Shannon: “When a man tells you to stop playing… Stop playing.” (19:15)

---

Overpriced Wide Receivers & NFL Market Talk (35:15–45:30)

Debate Over WR Salaries

• Shannon introduces a hot take from an anonymous AFC exec claiming WR prices have “gotten so crazy” that pass-catching RBs offer better value.
  • “Wide receiver prices are getting astronomical, they’re getting out of line, man.” – Shannon Sharpe (35:51)
• Michael Irvin vehemently shuts it down:
  • “If you don’t have receivers, go out there and try to run an offense and see what happens… There’s a reason they make that 40, 41, 42, 43 [million].” (35:59–36:18)
• Discussion of elite RBs who can both run and catch: McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson, Jameer Gibbs, Saquon Barkley, James Cook—but “it’s really three, maybe four” (36:41–36:46).
• Criticism of the idea that every WR gets those mega-deals:
  • “Every receiver that comes up ain’t gonna get JSN or Puka’s money.” – Shannon (36:59)
• Unpacking NFL economics:
  • “You want franchise value to go up... but you want the wide receivers to still make money like they playing in 2015?” (38:01)
  • “The players are the product… You gotta always take care of the product, man.” – Joe Ossai (41:05)
• Comparison with NIL and college sports; coaches' salary hypocrisy and movement vs. player restrictions.

• DK Metcalf’s low spot (19): “Damn, y’all think DK that far down at 19?” – Joe Ossai (55:16)

Elite vs. Volume Production Debate

• Irvin defends Jefferson at #2: “I’m not penalizing Jetta because he doesn’t have a quarterback. Based on what he’s done since he entered the league, I’m not doing that.” (56:09)
• System matters: “Any receiver you look at… If you’re that boy [in the Shanahan/McVay system], you gonna put up numbers.” – Shannon (59:13)

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah, yeah, that's. That's the thing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I gotta get my get back. Yeah, I hate it when. Because that was my. In 2003, my last year playing, we had training camp at the facility. That's when they had started, you know, bringing in. And we didn't go back to Greeley anymore, but to go to Greeley, to be in that dorm because we. We stayed at a UNC University of Northern Colorado up in Greeley, man. Oh, we stayed in some. We stayed in some mess.

Cause you. You only a rookie once, Ocho.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah, you right. You're right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And then guess what? You gonna be a vet longer than you're gonna be a rookie.

[Michael Irvin]

Rookie. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So guess about all the rookies that come in after you.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah, see, I. I let all the rookies slide that came after me. I was a good sport about it, too, Uncle Joe. I was a good sport about it. I won't triple. Listen, listen. I understand his tradition. I really ain't into that, so I'm going to accept it. I'm going to pay what I need to pay. Hood before the games, I'm gonna get your Popeyes. You know I'm good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't want no Popeyes. I want you to sing where you from? Put your hand over your heart. Where you from? Oregon. State. What position you play? Wide receiver. How much are your signing bonus? 500. Oh, hell, no. How you get $500,000?

[Joe Ossai]

Hey, the worst thing. The worst thing in the NBA was when they made you as rookies. They make all the rookies carry these little girl backpacks. You had to worry. You had to carry, like, a pink backpack.

[Jonathan Goldstein]

Ocho.

[Joe Ossai]

Or it may have to be clear to where you can see everything and you be. Oh, man, it was bad. It might have. It might be a butterfly backpack.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Door to door.

[Joe Ossai]

Oh, man, I adore to explore all that. Yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Whole season, but that. That's going on. What we did has. Was passed down. They have been doing that for, like, 40, 50 years. O JoJo.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah. Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So we just want to keep. Keep the tradition going.

[Joe Ossai]

Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All that they're cutting up. We ain't cutting no hair. I mean, I see some people cut people hair now. We ain't cut nobody. I ain't cut nobody here now.

[Joe Ossai]

That's why.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah, man. They begin to do. Man, they cut half the. Half the side of the hair off like this here. The rest of the side just is there.

[Zepbound Medication Announcer]

Ah.

[Joe Ossai]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They give you a mohawk. They do all. Oh, man. Joe. I said, oh, no, that. Y' all doing too much for that. That's too much. There was the days. I'm sorry, man. You know what? Now that I think about it, y' all ain't getting no rookie initiation. Joe. You did, though. Joe. We ain't get y' all no rookie initiation, Joe.

[Tab Ramos]

Yeah.

[Michael Irvin]

What we gonna do to him?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know. We think of something.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah, I'm. Hey, I'm two years in now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, you right, Joe. Damn.

[Michael Irvin]

But even if you took.

[Joe Ossai]

We done passed the.

[Michael Irvin]

Not really. We still got to initiate you, though. I'm. Hey, Unc, you know what? I'm kind of mad, too. Unk.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What that for?

[Tony Ayo]

What?

[Michael Irvin]

I'm mad.

[Tab Ramos]

He.

[Michael Irvin]

He faking an injury, trying to duck me, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, he ducking you off?

[Michael Irvin]

He ducking me. I'm thinking. I just. I just thought about that.

[Joe Ossai]

Hey, hey, hey, hey. What I ain't doing in the big three ain't got nothing to do with you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, I'm be.

[Joe Ossai]

I'm. I'm gonna be able to tend to you soon. Don't you even worry about that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Don't worry about that.

[Michael Irvin]

You think so?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Oh, you know that left leg. He said that left leg is only like, 115, so he ain't gonna be able to push off it.

[Michael Irvin]

Hey, all I'm doing I'm go. I'm gonna go to his right because you got to push off that left.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's right. That's right.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Joe Ossai]

You can't see. You can't see in that damn right eye. So are we even? Yeah.

[Michael Irvin]

Hey, Joe. Hey. Hey, Joe. Don't talk about my eye, Joe. For real.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, that thing a little murky, though. For real, though.

[Tab Ramos]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You look cloudy, Ocho.

[Michael Irvin]

I know. Hey, can you see it? Can you see it?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah, man.

[Michael Irvin]

Huh? Yeah, man. That's. That's why with machete. I'm gonna go get the cataract removed, man. I'm gonna do it, man.

[Joe Ossai]

You.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You probably need to.

[Michael Irvin]

I am. I am. I just. Hey, I'll be. Man, I be, Man, I don't know, man. I be. I don't know, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You scared, huh?

[Joe Ossai]

Well, don't want to have to.

[Michael Irvin]

I remember what it was like when. 1994, when I had to have surgery and I had inflammation on the inside. My grandma thought it was pink eye. I don't know what it was, but I remember they put the. They took the Q tip.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Michael Irvin]

And take the Q tip on top of the eyeball.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Michael Irvin]

And you feel that needle go in, but you can't feel the pain because they have it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, they numbed it.

[Michael Irvin]

Oh, that's the. Oh, that's the worst feeling, man. I just don't want to go through that no more, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That ain't what they do with a cataract.

[Joe Ossai]

Now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They actually lift it up and pull it out.

[Michael Irvin]

Ah, come on, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah. They got to get that up out of there.

[Joe Ossai]

Go and get it done, bro. You gotta get right.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah, I'm gonna do it, Joe. I'm do it, Joe. I'm gonna do it. I just. Oh, that Just the eyeball, man. And what if I get that lazy eye again?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Or that far as Whitaker.

[Michael Irvin]

No, my eye. In high school, my eye was stuck like that. It was. It was. It was just. It was off to the side, like.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, you think that thing cockey, huh?

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah, I was like that. For real. I don't know how. Like. Hey, hey, Joe. You see how I'm looking at you right now?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah.

[Michael Irvin]

It wasn't like that when I was in high school. My eye was stuck. It was stuck to the right like Biggie Smalls. I don't know how it got to the point. And I can't see. I can't see nothing out the right eye. I just don't want that to happen. I go back in there. I go back under the knife and then my eyes stop. I'm 50 years old and I'm cockeyed.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What that look like? We gonna start the show every night with a joke or two. Oh, don't think just cause you got a Cockeye at 50 years old we ain't gonna join you, boy. Please.

[Michael Irvin]

Hey, come on, man. Y' all can't do me like that, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, we can. Yes, we will. Although Joe might not, but I will. Oh, hey.

[Joe Ossai]

Oh, no. Hey, hey. You know I got to get mine in too.

[Michael Irvin]

You know what? I'm gonna wear a patch. Don't worry about it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's okay. We know what's under there.

[Joe Ossai]

You're gonna be like. Hey, you gonna be like Slick Rick the Ruler, man.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah, man. That's why I'm nervous about getting it done. Because I just know after that surgery, I had a cockeye all through high school. Sophomore. I had to deal with it in college. And once I got to Santa Monica, for some reason it started to straighten back up. But I still couldn't. I still couldn't see eye up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, y' all remember that remember clump when Dave Chappelle Reggie where they ask you, should I get him, get him, get him. Should I get him? What would he do for a Klondike bar? Now we know who's eating. Gil was great. I bet when you cut him, he bleed chunky.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Uh oh, this is gonna get Ocho upset. An anonymous AFC executive is calling out overpriced wide receivers. I think the wide receiver prices have gotten so crazy that teams are warming up to the fact I can get a super talented back pass catching talented back with pass catching abilities paying 17 or 18 million a year like doesn't sound so bad anymore. The top average NFL annual value position for JSN, 42.1 million more than double the top running back which is saquon at 20.6. Ocho you say hey cause remember, remember Ojo used to be the running backs. We ain't gonna pay the running backs now. They said these wide receiver prices are getting astronomy. They're getting out of line, man.

[Michael Irvin]

Child, please listen. If you don't have no, if you don't have receivers, go out there and try to run an offense and see what happens. Can't nobody get the hell open and they put they stack nine in the goddamn box. And then even if you do have one of those dynamic backs on that can run the ball and catch the ball out the backfield and they can't and they can't run the ball because you don't got no receivers to open up the game to take the top off, take the top off the coverage. What are these people talking about man? There's a reason they make that 40, 41, 42, 43. There's a reason Puka gonna break the bank and reset the market at the wire what are we talking about? If you understand the game and how the game is played, how many of those backs he just described are there in the NFL?

[Shannon Sharpe]

What many?

[Michael Irvin]

Three, maybe four, if that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

McCaffrey, Robinson, Jameer Gibbs, Saquon.

[Michael Irvin]

Jameer Gibbs and Christian McCaffrey.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, who else? That's it.

[Michael Irvin]

It's 32 teams. I could only name five players that are really good, really good at doing both.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're right.

[Michael Irvin]

Let's be realistic. Come on, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And he make it seem like everybody listen. Every receiver that comes up ain't gonna get JSN Apuka's money. No, it's just like every quarterback. So every quarterback now when he's eligible. So you think Baker Mayfield is gonna reset the market? He gonna get Patrick Mahomes money? No, he's not. No, he's not.

[Michael Irvin]

And then you have to understand these $40 million contracts are reserved for the elite of the elite.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All top dollar contracts are, except the quarterbacks. But the quarterbacks is the only guy. He's the only guy that you pay on potential. Everybody else have to prove themselves and they have to normally prove themselves over and over. A quarterback, we think he can be good, let's go ahead and pay him even after one season.

[Joe Ossai]

Because you can't do nothing without no damn at all.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But can't do nothing. Look, I, I, I, I understand. So you want to these, this exact. Whoever this exec is. So you want the value of the franchises to go up. Used to go buy a franchise for 30, 40, $50 million. 100 million, $200 million. So your franchise is going up. 6 billion, 7 billion. 8 billion. 10 billion. 12 billion billion. But while the prices for the players stay the same, you see how they think it Chat. So now the Cowboys got a value, I think they got a valuation of 13, 14, 12, $13 billion. But you want, you want the wide receivers to still make money like they playing in 2015.

[Joe Ossai]

Hello.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn.

[Michael Irvin]

Matter of fact, you know who I left off that list too? Six running backs actually. Brother Cook down in Buffalo.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah, yeah. Brother Cook down there in Buffalo.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what I don't get. Everybody keep talking. Oh, oh, the stock market is good and all this is good. The common man ain't in the stock market. That's reserved for a very few.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So I don't care. The stock market can go to 60,000. If I ain't got no money in it, what good is that doing me? In order for to put money in the stock market, you got to have disposable income. Everybody got disposable income because everybody ain't making a living wage. I can't take money. So the money that I was supposed to pay play, put gas in my car or buy necessities around the house. I can't take that money and put it in the stock market. I need that.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I need to put a roof over my head. I just don't. I just don't get. They don't want to play the players, nothing. They just want. They just want these owners just to just print money.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah. Or they want. They want to make all this print.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because here's the thing. Y' all making more money. We see Netflix. They said Netflix plays $75 million for five games.

[Joe Ossai]

75.

[Shannon Sharpe]

375 for five games. Ojo. 375 for five. Netflix. I don't know if Amazon will get another package, but Netflix is gonna want that Sunday night package. Fox, y' all have to be it. Cbs, y' all gonna have to be in. Cause they got these streaming services. They got bookoo bucks.

[Joe Ossai]

Yes, sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And y' all remember that game, Pressure? Look, big bucks, no whammy. Big bucks, no whammy.

[Michael Irvin]

Stop.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They got it. And the one thing I know about the NFL, y' all think they got loyalty to your networks, but they about to show you SCBs. Money talks when they talk about getting a reduction. Okay. You're gonna find out. I don't. That's what I don't get. So as. As everything goes up, the value of the franchise goes up. More money is coming in through licensing, license, TV contracts. But, oh, players now, the players making too much money.

[Joe Ossai]

And. And the players are the product that's on the damn field that draw eyes to the game. That's what I don't understand, bro. You gotta always take care of the product, man. They don't give a damn what sport it is. Arkin Ocho, you gotta take care of the product, bro. That's the guys that's out there or the people that's out there on the field or on the court that's competing and making the game somewhat respectable to

[Shannon Sharpe]

what people want to watch. Yes.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what I'm gonna get. Reward the people that help your business grow. That's. That's the way you do it. But they want to make all the money. You're getting a check. The what?

[Joe Ossai]

What's the. What's the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What is it? $250 million. What's the. What's the cap? You go get 400 million just off TV just our TV. Now, you got local TV, local radio, local. You got parking, you got admissions, you got PSLs. You got all the other stuff that's in there. Motocross, NCAA concerts. Okay, the NFL salary cap is 301,301,000,101.2. You better get a check for 400, so you're about 100 clear. That's before you do anything locally. Now, what about all the jerseys that you sell? You had to cut it back, all the merchandise. So now we get the stadiums. You got at least eight. You got at bare minimum, because guess what? The tickets aren't any cheaper for preseason.

[Joe Ossai]

Hello.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So let's just say on the low end you got 10 home games. On the high end you got 11. That's a regular season because it's an odd number, 17. So one year you might have nine home games. The next year you have eight. Now, post season. So they just want to make all the money. Players making too much as your franchise has increased exponentially. Man, y' all need to stop.

[Michael Irvin]

Hey, listen. God, it sounded. Sound a little bit like college football too, of course, huh? Oh, everything was fine and dandy when the universities and the entities were making billions of them, of players likeness. And all of a sudden, nil is a problem.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, they make it too much money. They never say, guess who they never said that about Ojo. The coaches. Oh, the coach name. The coach says, you know, when the friend. When. When the. The college came to them say, you know what? We want to give you an extension. We know you got five years. We got, you know, we got three, four years left. We want to put another three, four years on it and bump your salary from 5 million to 7, 8 million.

[Michael Irvin]

Nobody uttered a word now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now it's a problem. Why is the problem? It wasn't no problem when y' all was making billions. Y' all didn't go to the. Y' all didn't go to Congress and sit y' all ass up there and lie and talk about. This is bad. When coaches leave, y' all didn't say, well, a player should only be able to leave once.

[Joe Ossai]

Really?

[Michael Irvin]

Why coaches leave all the time?

[Shannon Sharpe]

The coach, he was at Cincinnati, and then he went to Notre Dame, and then he went to lsu.

[Michael Irvin]

Chip Kelly.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, Brian. Brian Kelly.

[Michael Irvin]

Brian Kelly.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What?

[Michael Irvin]

What?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Coach Saban. I love you. You left. Wasn't he at Toledo a Bowling Green? Where was he at? What was Coach Saban at? And then he went to lsu and then he went to Miami, and then he came back to Alabama. Urban Meyer.

[Michael Irvin]

It was all funny he was at

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bowling Green or something. Then he went to Florida. Then he went to Ohio State.

[Tony Ayo]

So.

[Joe Ossai]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So. So coaches can move as much as they want, but you want to relegate a player wherever you go, you get one move. Okay, coaches, you get one move. I'm cool. Right, Right, Coach, you get one move. So if you go to University of Florida, your next move better be your best move. Cause that's it.

[Michael Irvin]

Unless you get fired.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, he. Oh, Coach Sabre started at Kent State, then it was Line. Then. No, I'm just. I just want to go head coach. Oh, he was at Michigan State. That's where he started. Michigan State. He was the D. He was at Toledo. And then he was Coach Belichick's defensive coordinator at Cleveland. Then he went to Michigan State. Then he went to lsu. So, hold on. Toledo is one, Michigan State is two. LSU is three. Miami is four, Alabama is five.

[Commercial Announcer]

What?

[Tony Ayo]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But a player. Get to a player wherever you go. So if you go to University of Miami, Ocho, you get one. You get one transfer. That's it.

[Tab Ramos]

That's it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You get one, you can go to Kentucky, you can go wherever you want. But you only get that after that. That's it. But, Coach, you get to go wherever. Nah. Hell, no.

[Joe Ossai]

And y' all know they gonna try to cap that damn nil, too. They ain't gonna just let it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How many schools? Oh, yeah.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Lane the damn. The coach at every team in sec.

[Joe Ossai]

Lane got a big band.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's at Tennessee. He's an Ole Miss. Now he's at lsu.

[T-Mobile User]

Yeah,

[Shannon Sharpe]

man. Look, I think Coach Saban is the greatest college coach all time. But I think it's really disingenuous what they're doing. Because what happened was, guess what, Ocho? They weren't the only one that was playing players. Allegedly. So now all of a sudden, everybody got a bag. All of a sudden, people didn't want no scat packs and no charges and challenges. When I get a Lambo, I can get a Cullinan. I can get a Urus.

[Joe Ossai]

Hello.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How you get every four and five star running back coming out?

[Joe Ossai]

You know what? You know what it is?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got Trent Richardson, you got Ingram, you got Derrick Henry, you got Kamara, you got Damien Harris, you got 10p. Rest his soul, bro. You got seven, eight, five star running backs

[Michael Irvin]

and boys. And they waiting. They turn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What about the receivers? Alabama used to be just like that. They had Ridley and they had Julio and they had a coupe, they had Judy, they had Devontae Smith, they got Rugs they got waddle. Hey, stop. Just stop. And we ain't gonna talk about all them D linemen and linebackers and corners. They had Ocho. We gonna talk about them.

[Michael Irvin]

Hey, animals boy.

[Joe Ossai]

All right.

[Michael Irvin]

I can swim, Joe.

[Joe Ossai]

Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All right, Joe. Von Miller's looking for a new home. Look what he posted. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Hello, Vaughn.

[Joe Ossai]

Hey, boy. Come on home, man. You know we got something. You know we got a spot for you. That two fold look good on you too.

[Tony Ayo]

What?

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah, he from.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Makes sense. DeMarcus Ware was one of his guy. He got an opportunity to play with D. Ware in Denver. They won a championship together. Bond with super bowl mvp. And you look at the limited number of snaps that he had last year, I think he had like seven, eight sacks. He could look the one thing he could do, he can get after the quarterback and it's not gonna cost you a whole lot of money.

[Joe Ossai]

Can he be. He can still be in that corner. He can still be in the head.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Michael Irvin]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely.

[Michael Irvin]

He been it like Beckham.

[Joe Ossai]

Boy, I know I made. Look, I'm. I'm a Von Miller fan, man. Especially he coming to the cowboy, huh? Hey, boy. Hey, hey, hey, boy. Our defense gonna be all right, Ocho. I'm telling you.

[Michael Irvin]

Huh?

[Joe Ossai]

Our defense gonna be better than y' all the Bengals.

[Michael Irvin]

Yo, let's. Let's. Let's wait till football season. Get here, Joe, before we talk, okay?

[Joe Ossai]

I'm gonna be all. Hey, hey. I got something for you, boy.

[Michael Irvin]

Right now, my head is all. Is all basketball right now. All basketball.

[Commercial Announcer]

He's dribbling the ball with everything on the line. He's driving down the pitch. He's facing price hikes and cuts past him. Carrier contrast tracks, tries to block him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, he leaves him in the dust.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, execs, coaches, scouts ranked the NFL wide top wide receivers for 2026. We got Jamar Chase at 1, Justin Jefferson at 2, JSN at 3, Puka at 4, Almond Ross St. Brown at 5, CD Lamb is 6, Pickens at 7, Nico Collins 8, AJ Brown 9. Devonte Adams rounds out the top 10. I don't know how they got Malik Neighbors in there. 11 considering that he coming off ACL and he had surgery because the split scar tissue built up. So I don't know how he got there in front of Mike Evans. Tyreek Hill. There's a chance he might not even play this year. Ojo. I don't know how he got the high heels, but I would have Jameson Williams absolutely up higher than what he is. I put him in front of Malik neighbors and Tyreek based on just injury history alone.

[Joe Ossai]

Damn, y' all think DK that far down at 19.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm not putting him, man. Hey, that kid Alex Pierce now he don't get no shine on yo. But we know. Hey, he for real, Joe. Yeah, yeah, he for real for real.

[Michael Irvin]

Oh, he gonna get his chance this year though.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Look absolutely Chase, I'm not gonna argue with you, but I can't put Jelly into. Not after what Pooka. I'm not putting him in front of Puka.

[Michael Irvin]

Let me tell you something, Jetta, stand right there, too. I understand what Pooka's doing. I understand how great Puka is. But I also understand what Justin Jefferson has done since he's entered the league. Now, the fact that he didn't have

[Shannon Sharpe]

it, the fact that he didn't have

[Michael Irvin]

a quarterback is the only reason why

[Shannon Sharpe]

I gotta fact that. I gotta factor that in.

[Michael Irvin]

I'm not factoring it in. I'm not doing that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got.

[Michael Irvin]

I know exactly what Justin Jefferson could do. I know exactly what he could do. Nah, I'm not playing that game and chastising and penalizing Jetta because he doesn't have a quarterback based on what he's done since he entered the league. I'm not doing that. And Puka got impressed. Staffer throwing to him. Nah, man, come on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I'm saying. But you make it seem like Puka ain't put up numbers since he been in the league.

[Michael Irvin]

Hey, we talk about Justin Jefferson. Puka's great. Yes, I like Puka. He's great. We talk about Jettas, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Come on, man. Yes, come on, ass.

[Tab Ramos]

Come on.

[Michael Irvin]

Don't, don't do that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, don't.

[Michael Irvin]

Don't do that. Don't do that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You saw Pooka, you saw Puka numbers. You said you. But don't, don't pretend like Puka.

[Michael Irvin]

But come on, now we talk about Jealous. Now, come on, don't do that, man. Come on, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, but I got, I got, I gotta take, I gotta take in the totality of work.

[Michael Irvin]

If you take a totality body at work, then Jealous would be number two.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho. But I'm saying last year happened. Puka has never had a year like that. And I know his quarterback situation. But guess what? Like you tell me all the time, when them numbers dip, they don't want to hear nothing about that quarterback.

[Michael Irvin]

I know they don't want to hear, but the reason why the number is dipping. He still was over a thousand with the quarterback situation he had with the mirror, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Look, look here. A thousand yard for a receiver playing 16, 17 games on your day. You know that ain't nothing. That's like a running back. That's like a running back getting a thousand yards in 17 games. But I ain't but 58 yards a game.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah, I, I, I understand, I understand that. But I understand the greatness that is Justin Jefferson. And even though he didn't have a quarterback, it was. It was. It was. It was. Oh, it was messy. It was messy for him. He still was able to. It was awful.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I felt bad.

[Michael Irvin]

I did too. When he was still able to get. Get that thousand. I understand how great Puka is. I think Pooka is one of those receivers. Honestly, if he had that same type of system that he has in la, he can go play on any other team and still produce the same way. As long as they have an adequate quarterback. It makes it even better that he got Stafford. So even to go crazy regardless.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think the thing is, is that what if you look at the guys that's been in that system, they catch a lot of balls, but they could. But they. The longevity is because you get so many targets and you get hit so much. Yeah, you remember Cooper Cup? Yeah, Cooper cup had that history season and then the injuries because you take so much punishment. Man, think about how many balls they throw to Puka. You get a lot of.

[Michael Irvin]

I wonder how many targets he had last year. Can Ash look that up? I'm curious.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, Ash looked it up and I think he missed two games. Ocho and he led the league and receiving and missed two games.

[Joe Ossai]

He got a gunslinger back there, though.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, man. Staff. I can flat. I throw it flat. I throw it, man.

[Michael Irvin]

Could you imagine put Stafford. Put Stafford in Minnesota. Why would you think Justin Nemes look like? Matter of fact, how about this? You know, do me a favor.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Take.

[Michael Irvin]

Put jettas and that LA offense with Sean McVeigh. What you think Jetta numbers would look like?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, any. Any receiver you look at. What. What the one thing out of Mike Shanahan system, the receivers. If you're that boy, you're gonna put up numbers.

[Michael Irvin]

Absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You gonna put up number. If. If you just go back and look at the West Coast. You go start with Jerry. You start, go with Sterling Sharp and Terrell Owens. And you look at all those guys that played in that system. Oh, they gonna put up numbers.

[Joe Ossai]

They eat.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, they go. They gonna get you about. Oh, they gonna feed you, Joe. They gonna move you. They gonna feed you. They gonna move you around. Catch him if you can. Cause he gonna be on the right, he gonna be on the left. They're gonna put him in the backfield. They're gonna put him in the slot. It's the same. Look at JSN Click Kubiak. You see, they like. Remember they lied JSN up in the backfield. Ocho and threw him a touchdown out of the Back fifth. If you in that west coast system and you a receiver, boy, all you need. You don't need if you got a great quarterback. Devonte Adams with Aaron Rogers in Green Bay.

[Michael Irvin]

Hey, ugly boy were ugly. That back shoulder.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oho. That man got 113 touchdowns in 10 years.

[Michael Irvin]

Different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

113 different. It makes you realize just how many Jerry got.197 receiving touchdowns.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

In a league that they didn't throw the ball like they throw it down. Hey, so okay, so you leaving. So you leaving everything as is. You got Chase, 1, Jetta 2 JSN of 3, Puka 4, Amit Rosso. You leaving everything as is.

[Michael Irvin]

I don't even see. Wait, where's Devonte Smith?

[Shannon Sharpe]

They ain't got Smitty up there. 22.

[Michael Irvin]

Come on now. Come on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Puka caught 129 balls. Ocho on 166 targets and he missed two games.

[Michael Irvin]

That's crazy. That's crazy. Listen, depending who you ask.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So he's getting almost basically 17 games. He's getting about. He's getting a little less nine targets a game.

[Michael Irvin]

You know what? I don't like Nico Collins being so low. I don't think people understand how good Nico Collins is. But if I want to take him up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But if you put. If you put him up, you got

[Michael Irvin]

to take exactly what I getting ready to say.

[Joe Ossai]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. What's the average. What's the average target to game or receiver get your top receiver,

[Michael Irvin]

depending, depending on who you playing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, listen. Yeah, for.

[Joe Ossai]

For my.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's for Chase. For Chase.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah. Nah, flag.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But the average, when you equate everything out, somewhere between seven and eight.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah. Yeah. Hey hey. Well, my Cowboys having two guys in that top 10, I'm expecting big things from. From this year.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I mean expect a big disappointment.

[Joe Ossai]

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Why are you expecting a disappointment? What's up?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cause. Cause you expected a lot me? Yep.

[Joe Ossai]

I'm expecting what. What I think they should do. We should be a pretty damn good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You've been. You've been thinking. You've been expecting that for 30 years. Do you remember them championships, Joe? You probably like.

[Michael Irvin]

Hey, Joe. He's talking about collectively as a team. Now I'm with you. When you write, when you talk about George Pickens and CD Lamb individually. Oh, they finna go crazy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't gonna lie. Ain't no way. Ain't no way in hell. Smitty is the 22nd best receiver. I don't Care what y' all say. Malik Neighbors has Joe Ocho. He has surgery on a knee. He tore his acl, but he said he has scar tissue buildup. Tyreek might not even play this year. I can't base it on. I cannot base it on what they were two years ago. Malik Neighbors was fantastic, but he got off to a horrible start last year, Joe.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And we saw Tyreek. We know what Reek was when he was in Kansas City, and we saw what he was those first two years in Miami. But this is a. This is a serious injury for a guy that's in his 30s.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you're gonna put him. Y' all gonna put him over Smitty?

[Michael Irvin]

I wonder who. Hey, who made that list? Oh, I guess somebody. Somebody is random.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What y' all think Mike Evans gonna do in that system,

[Michael Irvin]

Man?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Michael Irvin]

What's the difference in Shanahan and McVeigh, huh? What's the difference? He put everything.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because you do realize Ma was up under Shanahan in Washington.

[Michael Irvin]

Mike's gonna have one of his better seasons.

[Tab Ramos]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All them guys, autumn guys. McDaniels. That's the offensive coordinator at the Chargers. He was on the mic. He was on the. Kyle. When Kyle was in. It was in Washington. All them was on the staff. Yeah.

[Joe Ossai]

He said, hey, Mike Evans, stay healthy. Uncle Ocho. Yeah, he gonna cut up.

[Michael Irvin]

Yes, he gonna cut up even to get that ball. They put him. They put him all over the place to get that ball.

[Shannon Sharpe]

J. Mo. Jmo, man. Jbo. Big play potential, man. He just. He a threat every time to get

[Michael Irvin]

anywhere on the field. Yeah, him and him. Rod nice, too, bro. He. Monroe to be as small as he is. He's so shifty. He's so crappy. And he can line up on the outside, too, now, if need be.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. But you do it. Oh, Joe, you. Ocho, you remember. You remember Jameson Williams with all. With all those guys at Ohio State? He left Ohio State with the bamboo.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah, yeah.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All those guys and.

[Joe Ossai]

And.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And.

[Joe Ossai]

And.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

And.

[Joe Ossai]

And. And.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And. And Garrett and. And the guy that's in New Orleans. All those guys, they were in the same receiver room.

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah. Ohio State put them out. Boy receiver. Oh, yeah. Ohio State, lsu.

[Michael Irvin]

Yeah, they've been on the run for a minute, too, boy.

[Joe Ossai]

Man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but if you go receivers as far as just, like, receivers, ain't nobody touching Ohio State. Cause you got to go all the way back to Chris. And you remember Joey Galloway, Terry Glenn, David Boston.

[Michael Irvin]

Hold on, now. Don't forget Alabama. Alabama is in the conversation.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, Alabama. Alabama had a nice little run. Alabama started with Julio, and then you had Ridley, and then you had a coupe. You had devontae Ruggs, Judy Waddle. Who else they had? They had another receiver, too. Who else they had. They had. They had a nice little run. But, I mean, you go. I mean, you look at. And the one thing, there only been a handful of receivers that couldn't run. Joey Galloway. People don't realize how fast Joey Galloway was. Joey Galloway was 4:2. Man. That pigeon told Joker Joe, man, the first time I saw him, I ain't know where to say hello or throw bird seed at it.

[Michael Irvin]

Hey, Joey was fat. He was so fast, and he hold the ball like a loaf of bread. Like this. Joe.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, Ocho. I don't know if you remember, but if you look at his sleeves, he had a big bag of sleeves on his jersey.

[Michael Irvin]

Quarterback. Quarterback. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Everybody. Everybody else got their sleeve cut because they don't want to be grabbed. He already know you weren't gonna press him. Cause you press him and you miss him.

[Joe Ossai]

He gone

[Shannon Sharpe]

over. And David Boston, big physical. He just. I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened to Boston, man. He just.

[Michael Irvin]

Remember how big David Boston was when he was in San Diego when he got Joe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He left Arizona and went to San Diego.

[Michael Irvin]

I'm talking about Joe. He looked like two feet like a bodybuilder boy. Yes.

[Joe Ossai]

Huge, Man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's. It's not the Cowboys year, Ash. Get that out your head.

[Joe Ossai]

Hold on. Ash a Cowboy fan, too, is she? Ash? What's. I knew, girl.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I knew you, girl.

[Joe Ossai]

Knew you was all right with me, girl.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, she love the cowboy age. Cowboys in TCU in San Antonio.

[Joe Ossai]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cowboys first. Now TCU first did the Cowboys, then San Antonio.

[Joe Ossai]

Oh, she from Texas.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Joe Ossai]

Oh. Oh, yeah. We gonna do some damage.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Had me get tickets to. Remember when TCU played Georgia in the national championship game?

[Joe Ossai]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Had me get tickets.

[Michael Irvin]

Remember what the score was?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I got tickets. She on the 50 yard like her and her brother. We having a good time. Score 48, nothing at the half. What time you happy? Hey, I say I know you're not having a good time. You know how I know? But how you know I said? Cuz, you calling me. I'm home. What the hell you calling me for? You having a good time? You calling me? 65, 7. And they stay for the whole game.

[Joe Ossai]

Wow.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Leaving, man, you let my team fall down. 48 nothing. What I'm staying for?

[Michael Irvin]

She ain't leave early?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, they stayed the whole game.

[Joe Ossai]
