**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
All right, yeah, we locked in on you boys, man. Y'all are messed up.

**Chad Johnson** (0:03)
There you go. Hey Joe, you feeling good, huh?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:06)
Why, I like the energy that's coming out of Dallas. You hear me?

**Chad Johnson** (0:10)
Yeah, I like the energy, Ocho.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:11)
You like the energy. Yeah. All right, all right.

**Chad Johnson** (0:14)
Hey Joe, I like the energy out of Dallas every season, every all season. Oh man, here you go.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:18)
There you go, slick Hayden. There you go, slick Hayden.

**Chad Johnson** (0:21)
Joe.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:21)
All right guys, here it is. Vikings linebacker Jamal Adams suffered a season ended knee injury yesterday game in the preseason, which reignited Graz versus Turf. The national soccer teams played at MetLife Stadium Graz for the World Cup all summer, but it returned to Turf.
In 2025, Malik Neighbors tore his ACL. In 2023, Jalen Phillips tore his Achilles. Aaron Rogers tore an Achilles in 2023 Kyle Fuller tore an ACL in 2022 Sterling Shepard tore an ACL in 2022 Wondell Robinson tore an ACL in 2022
49ers, Nick Bosa, tore an ACL in 2020 49ers, D. Lammond, Solomon Thomas, tore an ACL in 2020

**Chad Johnson** (1:03)
All on Turf?

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:04)
Is there a difference playing on grass versus Turf, Ocho?

**Chad Johnson** (1:09)
Hey, I'm the wrong one to ask. I'm the wrong one to ask because I haven't had any issues. And obviously, you look at all the names that you just named that have had injuries on Turf, but you can also do the same thing for people that tore the ACL that had the same injury on grass.
You can do the same thing. Obviously, I don't have it in front of me. I don't have the numbers or the names of people that have been injured and tore the ACL. For some that you do ask, a lot of people say yes, there's a difference. They prefer grass. Some people do. I was one of the few players where it didn't matter, Joe. You know what I mean? Listen, we playing on Turf, we playing on grass, and I enjoy the Turf. Why do I enjoy the Turf? Because I understand even if it's raining, I'm still gonna be able to run full speed in transition and stop on a dime.
I'm just telling you how I feel. I'm Joe, so I swear for God. I was okay with that. I had no problem playing on grass. You play in Arizona, that Bermuda grass was unbelievable.
When I played in Houston, that Bermuda grass was unbelievable. It was dope, Joe. You didn't even know. So I didn't really care what I was playing on because I enjoyed either surface. Joe, my black ass was playing in the pair of Chuck Taylors yesterday, going full speed. You know, I don't care about no surface.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:19)
Yeah, you were tripping. I care. I want grass, Joe.

**Chad Johnson** (2:22)
Yeah, so depending on who you ask, there are certain people that care. If you ask some of the players today, yes, they prefer to play on grass.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:28)
Hey, hold on, hold on.

**Chad Johnson** (2:29)
I don't care.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:30)
But what's the biggest difference in playing on grass and turf? Grass is more giving.
Oh, okay.

**Chad Johnson** (2:36)
Grass is more giving.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:38)
Their turf ain't giving, eh? Nah.
In the field turf, they say it's like grass. Nah, I don't want nothing that's like. I want what is.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:48)
Hey, hold on.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:49)
It tastes like chicken. Nah, I want chicken. Hey, so on that turf, is that how y'all get them big cherries on your arms and legs and all that?

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:56)
Yes.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:58)
Yes.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:59)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:01)
They hurt too. You don't realize you get them till you got to.

**Chad Johnson** (3:03)
Until you hit that shower, until that water hit you. Hey, matter of fact.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:12)
Yeah. But look, I think the thing is is that I understand the players want grass, but a lot of these stadiums are multi-use. They got concerts. They got other football games. They got track the pools and they got rodeos and all kinds of things going on in there. So it's just hard. It's just too hard.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (3:31)
It's just too hard.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:34)
Go ahead, Ocho.

**Chad Johnson** (3:35)
I'm going to say, Joe and people in the chat that are listening, this is also what makes it hard for teams that obviously want grass.
