Oh, man, boy. Hey, they took some from TA. But TA done turned into John Gotti right there, huh?

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:17)
Ocho, let's just say for the sake of argument, Joe, for this discussion, let's just say they had taken it. It's insured.

**Chad Johnson** (1:30)
Well, we're not sure if it's insured.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:33)
Because if it was insured, well, you should have, it should be stolen. If you got $250,000 worth of anything, Ocho, it is not insured.
If it's jewelry, if it's necklaces, watches, rings, automobiles, whatever the case is, you'll be the damn, that's a bigger problem. But let's just say for the sake of argument, Ocho, you're in the NFL, guys. Joe, you're a professional.
Yo, stop, see, this is the problem. Keeping it real, stop keeping it real. You cannot keep it real anymore. When you make millions of dollars, you work your entire life to get in this situation. Why do you need to keep it real?

**Joe Thomas** (2:25)
Listen, oh my goodness. Some cats being disrespected and violated, bro, they don't know no other way.
You know what I mean? I understand what you're saying, but some cats, there's just a reaction. It's like, damn, hold on. Them folks are stowed from me. They didn't disrespecting me. They done violated me to the utmost degree.
Some cats, bro, they don't rationalize like that. You know what I mean? They think straight, hey, boom, let me make this play real quick cause they got me bent. You feel me?

**Chad Johnson** (2:56)
Yes.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:57)
Authorities say, Joe, Ocho.

**Chad Johnson** (2:59)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:59)
Authorities say the people that he tied up and beat didn't even do it.

**Chad Johnson** (3:04)
Hey, hey.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:05)
Joe, Ocho.

**Chad Johnson** (3:07)
You know what?
Also, when it comes to NFL players, you know, I love TA. Manlet, the death. And I'm upset at him. I'm disappointed at him for even putting himself in this situation. But if he doesn't have a level head, if there's something that got stolen from him, the people around him, his entourage, somebody got to be the brains. Somebody else has to be the brains, because when the thought or...

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:37)
Emotion is high.

**Chad Johnson** (3:39)
The solution...

**Joe Thomas** (3:40)
Logic is low.

**Chad Johnson** (3:42)
When the solution was to even think about doing this, whoever came with the master plan, that should be like, nah, we ain't doing that.

**Joe Thomas** (3:49)
Hell, that was him.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:51)
Joe, Ochocinco, this is how I'm thinking. If I got homeboys that are willing to do that, I got to let them go.
Because it's only a matter of time. I ain't going to be able to control them. Because if they'll do that, they'll do that without being prompted by me. And if they're in my circle, who's getting charged? People like that, they're around you. Joe, you're responsible for them. Ochocinco, you're responsible for them.
If somebody, I can't have somebody around me that'll do stuff. But to go get the strap and to rob somebody and to tie them up, what's being reported is true. Yeah. They say this happened in February. So this was a long investigation. Remember, March, April, May, here we are in late June. So basically four months. They've done their due diligence, but here's the thing, Ochoc.

**Chad Johnson** (4:41)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:43)
When you got the most to lose, you got to be the most logical. Because when they get pinched, I tell you what, of all those people in that gambling incident, who do they walk out?
They named a lot of names.

**Chad Johnson** (5:00)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (5:01)
Who do they walk out?

**Chad Johnson** (5:04)
The ones we know.

**Shannon Sharpe** (5:07)
So when the rubber needs to meet the road, they don't want no... How many times you ever seen somebody hold up a perch?
A bluegill.

**Chad Johnson** (5:18)
A crappy.

**Shannon Sharpe** (5:20)
They hold up trophy fishes. So in this situation, who the trophy?

**Chad Johnson** (5:25)
TA.

**Shannon Sharpe** (5:28)
I just, I hate that. You know, look, we make mistakes. We all, you know, we put ourselves in a situation and like, Lord, I just hope, I hope for the sake of argument, this isn't true. Through his PR person, he said, he categorically denies this. And I hope, I hope this is a big misunderstanding. Lord, I hope this young man with so much promise in front of him, I just, I just, I just, I mean, when did this, when did this, Joe, Ocho, a professional athlete ordered somebody to get tied, or ordered to allegedly order somebody to get tied up and robbed?
