What does Jayden Daniels think of the Commanders’ weapons?

Jayden Daniels weighs in on Washington’s pass catchers.

For weeks, we’ve heard endless speculation that LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels will be the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL draft to the Washington Commanders. While we have heard nothing from Washington general manager Adam Peters, almost everyone who covers the NFL believes Daniels will be the pick.

Last week, there was a brief situation in which it appeared that Daniels’ agent had an issue with how the Commanders handled his top-30 visit. Instead of a one-on-one visit, Washington hosted around 20 players on the visit, including four of the draft’s top quarterbacks. However, that turned out to be much ado about nothing.

So, while it looks like Daniels is headed to Washington, what does he think of some of the players who will surround him?

In an appearance on “Night Cap” with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson on Sunday, Johnson asked Daniels about playing with wide receiver Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson in Washington.

“They got some dogs over there,” Daniels said.

Will Daniels be throwing to McLaurin and Dotson in September?

We find out in two days.

Panthers great Cam Newton reflects on his scary car accident from 2014

Panthers great Cam Newton recalled his scary car accident from 2014 on the latest episode of Club Shay Shay.

When you have a seat at Club Shay Shay, you best believe the discussion is going to go deep. And on the latest episode of his hit podcast, Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe went almost everywhere with Cam Newton, including to his near-death experience from almost a decade ago.

Towards the end of his three-hour sit-down with Newton, Sharpe asked the Carolina Panthers great about his car accident back in 2014. What followed was one heck of a reflection . . .

The accident happened less than half a mile away from Bank of America Stadium on Dec. 9, 2014, just a few days after the Panthers’ Week 14 win against the New Orleans Saints. Luckily for Newton, he only sustained two transverse fractures in his lower back—an extremely positive result considering what could have happened.

Newton would miss just one game, returning to the field less than two weeks later. He went on to lead Carolina to two more wins in clinching an improbable NFC South crown—their second in as many seasons.

Cam Newton reveals he had recent conversation with Panthers QB Bryce Young

Cam Newton revealed that he had a brief conversation with Panthers QB Bryce Young not too long ago.

If there’s one person Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young should open his ear to, it’s probably franchise great Cam Newton. And according to Newton, he had that ear fairly recently.

The former MVP quarterback was this week’s guest on Club Shay Shay, the hit podcast hosted by Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe. Sharpe asked Newton, Carolina’s first-ever No. 1 overall pick, how the Panthers can get a maximum return on Young, Carolina’s second-ever No. 1 overall pick.

Here was his response:

Almost a year to the day (and a few days before being taken by the Panthers in the 2023 draft), Young actually spoke about a potential mentorship with Newton:

“And I have so much respect for him and look up to him,” Young said in an interview with Sports Illustrated. “So, under any circumstance, whatever the scenario is—I feel like there’s so much that I can learn from him and I would love to learn from him. And again, from conversation to anything. I’ve learned a lot from him just from watching and just from being a fan as a player and as a person. In any capacity, being able to learn from him I feel like would be really great for me.”

Well, whatever was said during that brief conversation, hopefully Bryce got a lot out of it. And hopefully for the Panthers, they’re on the same page with their last franchise quarterback so they can get a lot out of their current one.

People hilariously recreated Shannon Sharpe’s video trip to Total Wine for a funny meme

This is very funny.

Shannon Sharpe has become a meme many times — there was him in a cardigan, his bizarre makeup that one time, the old “that ain’t no problem” quote … you get the idea.

The latest? A video of him getting out of a car and talking about how he’s heading to a Total Wine store has weirdly become a meme. The original video has millions of views on TikTok, and people decided to recreate it, from what he was wearing down to the bag he was wearing.

This is very funny stuff. Enjoy the recreations below, along with the original:

Former NFL players react to video of Cam Newton brawl

Guys who have played with and against Cam Newton think it’s a bad idea to try to fight Cam Newton.

So, is trying to fight Carolina Panthers legend Cam Newton a good idea? Well, maybe we should see what some of his old teammates and opponents think.

On Sunday, a video of Newton appearing to be attacked by multiple individuals at his 7v7 event in Atlanta went viral. The clip made the rounds to former NFL players, who had the following to tweet about the wild incident:

Shannon Sharpe gives Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte ‘dumdum award’ for recent arrest

Shannon Sharpe calls Kayshon Boutte a “dumdum” after recent arrest

Shannon Sharpe wasn’t in the mood for holding back when talking about New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, who was recently arrested on illegal online gambling charges.

Boutte faces one misdemeanor count of underage gaming and a felony count of computer fraud. He is accused of creating a fake account for gambling while representing himself as 21 years old or older when he was actually underage.

The former LSU star wideout allegedly placed over 8,900 bets with some involving LSU games. However, the fake names used had Boutte’s first and last name in them.

During an episode of “Nightcap” with Chad Johnson, Sharpe named Boutte as the “dumdum of the day.”

“…Now, normally Ocho, when you’re doing something illegal, you try to go out of your way, I’m not going to use my name,” said Sharpe. “If I’m robbing banks or something, I’m going to use a stolen car. I’m not going to use my car. Let me tell you what dumdum did.

“Now you would think, you know you’re not supposed to be gambling, illegal gambling or to definitely not be gambling on college football or your game. Guess what dumdum did. Guess what his username was. …His username to place these illegal bets was Kayshon Boutte.”

Per WAFB 9, Boutte arranged to turn himself in before posting a $6,000 bond and being released. There has been no word yet on whether he’ll face disciplinary action from the NFL.

Shannon Sharpe said he would cut Jameis Winston in a fiery rant about the Saints’ late touchdown

Shannon Sharpe is making his stance clear. He thinks Jameis Winston has a “loser’s mentality.”

The New Orleans Saints are receiving mixed responses to a late-game touchdown against the Falcons. Shannon Sharpe is the latest person going scorched earth on the decision, and Jameis Winston for championing it.

Oh, boy. The Saints have really stepped in it. The team was up 41-17 late in the fourth quarter against the Atlanta Falcons when they decided to give Jamaal Williams the ball so he could score a touchdown.

There’s just one problem: New Orleans head coach Dennis Allen was not part of that decision and had told the team to get in victory formation.

That decision led to former Falcons head coach Arthur Smith sharing some NSFW post-game words with Allen and Allen apologizing. Jameis Winston also tried to explain the rationale for the decision but didn’t exactly make it better.

After hearing Winston’s explanation, ESPN media personality Shannon Sharpe unleashed verbal fury on Winston in a fiery rant and said Winston would be cut if it were him.

Shannon Sharpe reveals he brushes his teeth 7 to 10 times a day and Chad Johnson was as shocked as we were

Chad Johnson is all of us.

Shannon Sharpe says there is no shame in his toothpaste game. 

Sharpe is a former NFL great-turned-analyst who takes immense pride in his appearance. He’s widely known for his premiere suits, impressive physical shape and not being afraid to get glammed up to ensure the camera gets his good side. 

However, Sharpe says part of doing that requires something a little bit different. During any given week, he can go through an entire tube of toothpaste — yes, a FULL TUBE — because he brushes his pearly whites at least seven to ten times a day. That is NOT a typo. 

When Sharpe revealed his eccentric brushing habits to his Nightcap podcast host and former NFL receiver, Chad Johnson, Johnson had a fully on-brand and relatable response. 

(Warning: NSFW language.)

Broncos vs. Packers series history: Denver aims to take all-time lead

The all-time series between the Broncos and Packers is tied 7-7-1. Who will pull ahead on Sunday?

The 1-5 Denver Broncos are set to take on the 2-3 Green Bay Packers at Empower Field at Mile High in Week 7.

The Broncos and Packers series goes back to 1971, when the Packers won the first meeting 34-13. Since then, the teams have played 14 additional times. The most meaningful and memorable matchup for the Broncos was in Super Bowl XXXII.

That year, Denver came in as 11-point underdogs to the reigning Super Bowl champs. Super Bowl XXXII featured eight future Pro Football Hall of Famers (John Elway, Brett Favre, Steve Atwater, Gary Zimmerman, Terrell Davis, Shannon Sharpe, Reggie White and Ron Wolf).

The highlight of the game was Elway’s famous “Helicopter” play, where he dove for a first down and was hit by multiple Packers defenders in midair. Denver came away with their first-ever championship, 31-24. Interestingly enough, the Broncos also beat Green Bay en route to their second and third championships, 31-10 and 29-10 victories, respectively, in 1998 and 2015.

The last time these two squads met was in 2019. The Broncos went into the game with quarterback Joe Flacco, and Green Bay by Aaron Rodgers. The Packers were the better team in a game where the running backs dominated. Aaron Jones rushed for two touchdowns for the Packers, while former Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay also ran for two touchdowns.

The all-time series between Denver and Green Bay is tied 7-7-1. The Broncos will aim to pull ahead on Sunday.

Denver looks to right a sinking ship of a declining defense and an inconsistent offense in this game against a perennially NFC North powerhouse.

Shannon Sharpe’s makeup had First Take fans making ‘Little Richard’ jokes and mortuary memes

Shannon, please. You’re scaring the viewers.

Former NFL player turned analyst Shannon Sharpe sported a caked-on makeup job during First Take on Monday, and fans of the show immediately roasted him, sparking hilariously brutal memes.

Sharpe moved to First Take earlier this year after spending seven years with now estranged co-host Skip Bayless on FS1’s Undsisputed. His new digs have him sharing the spotlight with Stephen A. Smith, a 20-year ESPN veteran. The partnership between Sharpe and Smith has produced some wild segments.

In September, Sharpe made light work of New Yok Jets quarterback Zach Wilson’s lousy play, saying, “The dude couldn’t play dead in a horror movie.”

It seems Sharpe’s words came back to haunt him — pun absolutely intended here —and First Take fans took to social media the moment they noticed Sharpe donning an overdone fresh makeup job.

Amid the concern for the host, the jokes started flying, invoking shades of famed musician Little Richard and other hysterical memes that included mortuary references.

Sharpe eventually responded to comments he received. “My appearance is important not as important as my takes,” Sharpe said. “Hopefully, the takes were [great] as usual.”

That should help clarify the concern, but that didn’t stop fans from getting creative with their thoughts.

Here are some of the best memes the internet has to offer:
