Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco have become an incredible duo. Overall, they have a new show together called Nightcap that has been a huge success. Typically, the show is done at night after a few sporting events have gone on. It is a great way for fans to spend their evenings before going off to bed. Furthermore, these two have incredible chemistry and have found themselves in some massive debates. Last night, they had it out over the influence of Taylor Swift.
With Swift generating over $300 million in revenue for the NFL, Sharpe came out and said that Swift moves the needle more than Beyonce. Ochocinco did not want to hear this at all and fought Sharpe on the point. However, Sharpe stuck with his guns and even compared Swift's influence to that of Michael Jackson. "Not like this," Sharpe said. "I love Beyoncé. Beyoncé ain't moving the needle like this chick, Ocho. No. [Taylor's] the closest thing to moving the needle like Michael Jackson that we've seen."
