**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
AJ. Brown spoke to the media about not speaking to Jalen, about not speaking to Jalen Hurts doing Patriots and Eagles joint practice. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.
AJ, this is Senior 4 team giving you some closure.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:13)
Closure? No, it's not about no closure or anything, man. It's love, you know, I want a Super Bowl ring with them. And it's always be love, no matter how anyone feels. You know, I love Philly, and I will always love Philly, but I'm here now, and that's where my feet are, and that's where I'm focused on.

**Rolly Romero** (0:28)
Hey, have you talked to Jalen since the train?

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:31)
No.

**Rolly Romero** (0:33)
How tough?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:34)
How do you believe things from town?

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:37)
Philly, man, y'all tough, man. Man, it's love, man. Listen, listen, honestly, guys, none of that stuff even matters, yeah, I think you all should want to report something positive. You know, you know, asking the question is going to turn negative, so let's not get into that, and let's keep everything positive. It's love my way, and just move forward. That's all.
Hi, good to see you. Am I in a better place mentally? I want to say I'm in a better place. You know, I wasn't in a bad place in Philly, you know? So I'll leave it at that.

**Chad Johnson** (1:14)
That was very savvy too. Very savvy. You can tell he's been coached up really well when it comes to talking to the media, especially with the question that they're asking, is they're looking for something, they're looking for a headline, and he chose not to give it to him. The one thing he kept saying that I like is it's all love.
No, it's not that I'm in a better place because Philly was good to me. That was a good place as well. But right now, my feet and my foundation is here in New England. Have I talked to Jalen Hurts? No, I haven't talked to him, but it's still love.
That gives no ammunition. There's no way they can run with that. There's no way you can twist his words up.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:52)
Yeah, you can. All I know is that he was swaying when he was speaking. Google, when someone's speaking and they swaying back and forth, what that mean, Ocho? I want you to read it. Someone is speaking and they're swaying back and forth.
Let me find out Unc got that book called Body Language. What does it say, Ocho?

**Chad Johnson** (2:18)
Hold on.
Swaying back and forth while speaking is a common habit. It often happens because of nervous energy and an attempt to maintain balance and the stress of self-soothing rhythm to manage anxiety. Yeah. How do you know that?

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:37)
Because.

**Chad Johnson** (2:38)
I like that, nervous energy, balance adjustment, self-regulation.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:45)
He was a criminal justice major, man. The greatest body language communicated of any group of people are black people.
When she say, that B don't like me, she don't and she picked up on it.

**Chad Johnson** (3:03)
Right. I didn't even think about that, the swaying back and forth. I didn't look at it the way you did. That's a good one. I like that.
So nervous.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:16)
Man, listen. Think about this.
You and he spoke to that man, Ocho and that's supposed to be the godfather of his child. Think about that, Ocho. Let that sink in, Ocho. The godfather, whoever the godfather of French fries is, you don't speak to them no more, but it's all love. We're on the same damn field. Man, please. Come on, Ocho. It's all love, Ocho.

**Chad Johnson** (3:37)
Yeah.
Yeah. Hey, listen. Hey.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:42)
Hey, you see what Ocho did right there? You see what he did right there? You see the quickness?

**Rolly Romero** (3:46)
Yeah. Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:46)
Yeah. Yeah.

**Rolly Romero** (3:48)
You see what he did?

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:49)
This is how you know Ocho don't want to dress up. You're like...

**Chad Johnson** (3:53)
No, listen, I want to address it, but sometime, you know, in family, sometime you don't speak.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:59)
Hey, look, what's being reported, we don't need to talk about it. We don't get in nobody's business. There was a two grown men. There'll be a time, hopefully one day, they sit down and they have a conversation. They did win a championship together. At one point in time, they were best friends. Sometimes best friends don't mean forever. Sometimes it does not mean forever. Sometimes that it does.
