Shannon Sharpe is one of the most famous sports personalities in today's media because of his raw but honest takes on sports, entertainment and love issues. He's currently an ESPN First Take co-host and he's the creator and host of the very succesful podcast "Nightcap" along former NFL player Chad Ochocinco.
Sharpe won't back down from any topic and he will let Ochocinco knows when he disagrees with some of the hot takes the Bengals Ring of Honor inductee makes in regards to the Cincinnati's team, which is having a very rough season and currently stand on third place of the AFC North Conference with a terrible 4-8 record. Their latest slump came at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers that beat them 44-38 on yet another dissapointing game for the Bengals.
During their recap of the game, Sharpe questioned Johnson's optimism about Cincinnati's future for the 2024 NFL Season, which surely won't include playoff games. The harsh comments made Chad sad and the co-host of "Nightcap" had a very sentimental moment where he began to cry because of his former team's awful way of playing.
"Ocho, how are y'all gonna go on a run when your defense is historically bad. Your quarterback literally has to play a perfect game everytime (...) Because, first of all, your defense is not really gonna be able to stop anybody. Now, you turn the ball over and if you give them points on your possession, oh, don't cry". said the former Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens tight end.
"You're right," replied Ochocinco with tears in his eyes. "Oh no, don't cry, don't cry, you ain't crying yet, Chad, don't let them fool you, you should be crying." continued Sharpe.
"We are going to be all right." said Ochocinco. "No, y'all ain't. Next year, y'all gonna be all right this year. Man, you know you got people in Cincinnati believing you, 'man, Ocho said we are gonna be all right'. Now everybody ain't doing nothing but eating chilly and hot dogs." said Sharpe.
"Y'all got Ocho crying, Bengals," said the NFL Hall of Famer. Finally, Sharpe had some mercy on his co-host and gave him some tissue paper so that he could wipe out his tears.
Bengal's struggles continued against the Steelers
The Bengals dented the NFL's fourth-best scoring defense Sunday for its most points this season behind another glittering day from quarterback Joe Burrow, but it wasn't enough to fend off the second-best ing day of Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson's career in Pittsburgh's 44-38 victory at Paycor Stadium.
Wilson hit 29 of 38 es for 414 yards and three touchdowns while watching his defensive line generate three turnovers that included a fumble return for a touchdown as the Steelers broke open a 21-21 game.
Burrow also threw for three touchdowns and finished 28 of 38 for 309 yards, posting his eighth triple-digit er rating of the season at 112.7.
