Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson had time this weekend — and they did not hold back. The two NFL legends tapped into a recent viral story involving former Seahawks player Trevone Boykin. Let’s just say…the energy shifted instantly once Boykin mentioned Russell Wilson’s Thanksgiving table.

Shannon & Chad Check Boykin’s Thanksgiving Story
In a resurfaced clip, Boykin recalled spending Thanksgiving at Russell and Ciara’s home, describing the family vibe as “weird” because Russell’s own family wasn’t present at the dinner. Additionally, Trevone claimed that if he had Russell’s money and his Alaska Airlines partnership, he’d be flying everyone out to his house to celebrate Thanksgiving in style — noting that the intimate gathering he attended included Ciara, Russell, the nanny, baby Future, himself, and a few others. It’s unclear why additional family members weren’t present, but it’s ultimately Russell and Ciara’s business and their choice who attends their private holiday gathering.
Hosts Say Not Everyone Deserves An Invite
Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson immediately called a foul, saying Boykin was purposely stirring up a mess for attention. And Shannon doubled down, saying this is exactly why not everyone should be invited into your home, especially if they’re going to turn around and use your hospitality as shade. Chad Johnson chimed in too, saying Boykin was clearly looking for a viral moment at Russell and Ciara’s expense. Both Shannon and Chad defended Russ, pointing out that what happens inside someone’s household — especially on a holiday — is their business, not something to dissect online for clout. The two NFL vets made it clear: Boykin crossed a line, and the internet seemingly agrees.
