**Shannon Sharpe** (0:03)
Oh, Lord have mercy.

**Chad Johnson** (0:05)
What happened?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:07)
Joe asked, this topic is for you. Look at the domination by America's team, the highest point differential versus a single franchise. Pittsburgh versus Cleveland is 579 Arizona, Washington, 565 Damn.
Whoo, what Dallas got some, the Jazz, Washington, Arizona, New England versus Indian, Pittsburgh. Ocho, I know you ought to be ashamed of yourself, Ocho.

**Chad Johnson** (0:39)
What happened?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:40)
Look what Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, that's what happened.

**Chad Johnson** (0:45)
Well, you know, I only got one eye.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:47)
Hey, on three and four, them division rivals too, the Giants and Washington. Yeah, we're going to get them folks on up out of there. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati division rival, Joe.

**Chad Johnson** (0:58)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:58)
Pittsburgh and Cleveland, look at Pittsburgh, they just Bollywood pulled Cleveland.

**Chad Johnson** (1:03)
What we looking like?

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:04)
Y'all looking bad. Plus five oh three.

**Chad Johnson** (1:08)
Hey, that's going to change this year though. Think so?

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:13)
And you got to realize, Ochocinco, y'all didn't become a franchise until 1968 So it probably be worse than that.

**Chad Johnson** (1:18)
Yeah, see, yep.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:21)
Cowboy been playing the Giants since 1960
Mom.
Man, you know what I was thinking about? You know, Mike McCarthy had the best coach in Korea ever. He coached the Packers, the Cowboys, and the Steelers. What coach can say that, Ochocinco? What coach can say, I got that on my resume? Yeah, there ain't many, if any. Nobody.

**Chad Johnson** (1:47)
Hey, and you going to good teams, too. You ain't just going to anybody.
Ready made.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:54)
Dallas might have had the two best coaches, coordinators at a given time.
Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry. Oh yeah. Vince Lombardi was the OC, rest his soul. Coach Landry was the DC.
San Francisco, Pueblo, Atlanta, the Rams, Atlanta, damn. OAT. Damn, Dirty Birds. They got to shake something this year, boy. They got to get it together. They should all need to. But without that AA, without a captain at the quarterbacks, I don't know, fella. Uh oh. There's reportedly speculation in the league circles that Christian McCaffrey has tapped the brakes on his practice time and has ever to get an adjustment to his contract, which pays him about a non-guaranteed $12.5 million in 2026 Days after B. John Robinson and Jameer Gills pushed new money, $22.5 million per year, McCaffrey stopped practicing due to tightness, something that McCaffrey is holding out in hopes of getting a new deal. Ochocinco?

**Chad Johnson** (3:07)
A rightfully so, based on his production of what he's done in the past, isn't he worthy? He'll talk my back, Ochocinco. What you think? Yeah, I was just going to say the same thing. Who would argue that? Who would argue that fact? The only thing, the only argument you could bring up is his injury history.
That's about it, Uncle Joe. There's really nothing bad you can say after Jameer Gibbs and Bijon have gotten their deals done.
It's only right that Christian McCaffrey is able to get a little pay raise. Not above them. Not that. Not above them. Allow them to reset the market, but put me somewhere right below them.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:48)
Ochocinco, he's right below them. He's making 19 and a half. Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (3:52)
So I'm not sure what he want. Hey, listen, honestly, I'm not sure what he want. We're not going to bump you above them. What do you want? I don't know.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:00)
What do you want? You know what he want. He want some guaranteed money.

**Chad Johnson** (4:04)
Okay. He probably got no guarantee left on it.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:08)
He got 12 billion. He's making 12.5 billion this year, which is in California, which is about 6 million.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. When y'all say he ain't got no guaranteed money, so what? He got incentives that he has to reach to? No, all he got is that 12.5 million dollars. So this year, money is guaranteed. See, they got what?
How much they signed for? So they probably got 60 million dollars, 70 million dollars guaranteed. Yeah. He got 12.5 million dollars. What he got this year?

**Chad Johnson** (4:38)
That's it.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:39)
So he wants some more guaranteed money, Ochocinco and Joe. He want 40, 50 million. I said, man, you know what?

**Chad Johnson** (4:45)
And matter of fact, you know what he's trying to do?
And you know what he's trying to do too? You know how they play with you, Joe? Once they get you on that contract and they get that guaranteed out of the way, boy, that might be your last year too on that high salary.
