  Speaker 1: Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. Is
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: a production of the NFL and iHeart podcast We Got Lost, Just.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: We got lost, Just say.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: What a begger here and we.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Hope you stay because we got lost to say, yeah
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: we got lost.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Just say now here's Bobby and that all right?
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Welcome to the show from San Francisco, which is crazy
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: after being here for a couple of days leading to
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: the super Bowl that the super Bowl is not actually here.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: It's in Santa Clara, right, But I don't know. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: don't know if I've ever been to Santa Clara. But
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: that's not an easy drive. It's not super quick.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I don't believe it is. I mean, when you're in
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: San France, Santa Clair is probably about a thirty forty
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: minute dry from here.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Is this familiar to you, like San Francisco growing up?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Did you ever come north?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: No? I was here occasionally, but like I don't even
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: know what I.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Was up here for, like a family drive.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: To Southern California. Like Northern California and Southern California should
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: be two separate states.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Is there a difference in people?
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: What is a person from northern California Northern California.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: They're unsuspecting, they're under the radar, but they could be
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: a billionaire, right, you would never know. They're not trying
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: to flaunt their money. You go to LA and somebody's
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: dressed up in a three piece suit driving a range Rover,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: but goes home to a cab pulled a nine hundred
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: square foot studio apartment. Right, so it's a facade. But
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: here these people just they have money, but they don't
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: need to flaunt it. That's what I feel like.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: The main difference is giving me your quintessential Super Bowl story,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: something that happened to you over the last couple of days.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'll say I've walked more around this city
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: and probably got more steps in than I ever had before.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling you some of those hills are treacherous.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I'm sweating. I changed my shirt three times yesterday just
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: going around to different meetings and doing the different interviews
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: and all that stuff. It's an awesome city. I love it,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: But those hills there, you better be in shape.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's almost bigger than a hill. I think
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: we're underselling it, right because obviously it's not a mountain.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: But I've never.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Seen a major city where the inclines are that steep.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Right, Like you've probably done the peloton where they say
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: take it up to twelve and you're feeling it. These
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: had to be twenty. Yeah, I mean it was. It
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: was unbelievable for.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Me being someone who lives on this in Central time zone. Obviously,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: we didn't come for very long, so my body is
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: still on Central time, and so night two that we're here,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: I go and I do this trivia game show with Barstool,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: and that we.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Won our first match, so we made it to the finals.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: So I didn't get out until seven thirty or so,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: which again feels like nine thirty to me.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Hadn't had dinner, and I would.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Have just been good to go grab something super real
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: quick and go anything.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Quick, guarantee.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: But the problem is is that there's just a lot
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: of people out here. Yeah, and everyone's like, we want
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: to see you, Let's go to dinner, let's have a meeting.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: We hardly ever earned the same town.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: So we're going to dinner at this place called Iris
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: or something, and we're not even gonna get there until
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: eight o'clock, which again I'll do the math this ten.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: O'clock to my body. I'm so tired. I go to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: bed at eight o'clock anyway, Central time.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: So we get to this place and I'm thinking, all right,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: it's not super packed, so I'm gonna grab some food quickly.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna order quickly, and i'm gonna do the Hey, guys,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: really good to see you, guys.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and jump.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm exhaust.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go back because I got a long day tomorrow,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: you know, doing the show, doing interviews. And as soon
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: as we sit down there were five people totallets table
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: three were already there, and they said, hey, we've already
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: ordered the entrees.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: It's the very famous entree. And I was like great.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: In my mind, I'm thinking they've already ordered, it's about
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to be here.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're fired up. This is looking thing.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, they know I'm tired.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: So they ordered the entree and I'm like, cool, what
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: is They said, it's the chicken?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Would I have ordered the chicken normally?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Probably? God, probably it was the rabbi for.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Free, yes, right, so instead the chicken.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: But I'll eat anything, and I'm ready to get out,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: and I said, cool, why the chicken? What's so famous
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: it takes seventy five minutes to make, and I'm like, oh, well,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: and in my mind, I'm like, that sucks. But they
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: have been there, so I'm thinking maybe they've been there
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: for a half hour.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, no, they say not five minutes ago.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Oh so when they said they got here early, they literally.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Literally just said down right before you and ordered the
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: seventy five minute chicken and they weren't bringing out any other.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Entrees until the seventy five minute chicken came.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: So we sat there they didn't bring out any app appetizers.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: They did, but not any entrees, so nobody could leave.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: And so I'm so happy I didn't go to dinner
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: with you.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Because I, yeah, I told you just today, I'm gonna
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: text you if you want to come.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Come.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: But again, it was eight Pacific, and you like, no,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: I'm good man, I'm tired, and I'm like, man, I
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: wish I could say that, And.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: So it finally came.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't get back to my room until ten twenty, which, wow, didn't.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Live up didn't live up to the expectation. That couldn't
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: have five minutes.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It could have been a pure gold and it still
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have it couldn't.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I was so tired, right, You're just like, I'm just
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: so pissed off that I had to wait seventy five
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: minutes to eat this chicken.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: It was me and then three like agents, my agent
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: and two other agents and Von Miller, who you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: could falling pe for the Yeah. The funny thing about
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Von Miller and I don't know him, I do now
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: a little bit, but we're sitting there and his guy
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: next to me goes, hey, you should talk to von
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: about being on Dancing with the Stars.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: And at this point, oh, yeah, I don't know Von.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: And a lot of the athletes that I know, they
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: had two type experience with it. They loved it or
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: they got kicked off so quick that they didn't have
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: enough of an experience to love it right.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: And they didn't get enthralled in the actual process.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Of right the grind of training.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Which so I also were sitting at a table with
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: five dudes, and I don't want to be like.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Hey, man, did you dance? Did you like to wear sho?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: You know that I won Dancing with the Stars.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: So I said, I don't know, I don't really He goes, no, no, no, no,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: just say something to Hi about it, and so I
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: didn't tell him I was on a first said hey, vun,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: who is your partner on Dance with the Stars?
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: He lit up.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: He was like it was Whitney and I said, oh yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: I said how was your experience? He goes, ude, was
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: the greatest thing ever.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: And how do you do?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I think he made it pretty far?
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: He made me semi finals. That's great, And so I
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: said what what do you like about it? And he's like,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I love the training. He goes, it was have to
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: won the first super Bowl. He was so happy to
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: talk about it. He still didn't know I was on
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: it yet. And one of his guys that doesn't know
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: me goes, Bobby, weren't you on the show?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, yeah, I was on the show,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And so he said how was your process?
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I said, I thought it was great, but I had
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: no dance experience at all, right, I went it to
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: it and so he's like, yeah, how far did you go?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And it was the offing where I knew he didn't win.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to be like, why won?
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: But you did?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: But I did. I said, well, yeah, I won my season.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: He's like, why really, I say, yeah.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: That probably blew his mind.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I think it did a little bit because you look
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: at him with no dance experience, look at me and
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: no dance experience.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Well, how many people that is? You probably know that
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: even from our profession that has gone on and they're eliminated,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Like you said, round one, round two, you probably maybe
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: that one or two winners in the sentire lifetime, you
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: being one of them.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well I did tell him. He was a little
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: shaken by it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: However, when we were finishing our conversation, he was like, man,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I never get to talk about this really. Yeah, he
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: was like, nobody hang out with everyone to talk about
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: dancing with the stars.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: No, they want to talk about him rushing off the
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: killing people.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And so I think he really liked that.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: But then he was smart, he said, he looked at
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: the phone. We finished that conversation and we start talking
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: about like because he I think.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Washington still has his rights.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: To play next year, and he's talking about he was
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: feeling healthy, feeling good, and he said, man, I gotta
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: I gotta jump guys. I got a call or a
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: party or something. And I was like, man, I'm so jealous.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: He knew what was exactly what was up, and he
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: was one of those guys that had enough clouth to
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: be like, hey, he for sure did bouncing, and he had.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Like four advertisers, so he had enough food and he
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: was going to a party where there was food too.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, where I.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Was, and I was just going back to my room.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: But he was.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: He was super nice. He has like a chicken farm.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's really into that, right, that like his existence is.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: He's always been like outside the box a little bit.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: He's a country boy. He's a country boy, but TEXA
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: A and M and Yeah.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Rob was the lit cowboy hat and embraces it. Chicken farm.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I said, that's what I said, chicken farm. He said, yeah.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: It was kind of a science experiment we started in
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: college and now it's just grown.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: But he was one of the chicken farm hat.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: How many chickens are we talking about? Idea? Is it
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: one of those that they go in and they show
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the videos online where they have to take some of
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the take some of the flock out and like knock
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: him on the side of head.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: He was more excited to talk about dancing and sequence
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: than he was the chicken farm. Really, Yeah, so I
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: just asked, what's up. He said, Now, we started in
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: college and still going. And I think when he was
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: doing his promotion of stuff, because when we sit down
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: and do these interviews during the super Bowl week, a
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: lot of these.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: People get hired, right, Oh absolutely, and.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: They'll do interviews and at the end of the interview,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: you agree to ask him a question and they get
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: to talk about whomever.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Hired that, right, So then it's scripted too.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: So I think he was out promoting his chicken farm.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: He would do the interviews and then be.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Like, Hey, I don't need anybody to pay me. I'm
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: going to promote my own chicken farm.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: If I gotta tell you you are the mayor of
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: this place, I don't know about that. And partially it's
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: because you played in the league for how many years? Fourteen,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: so you have a lot of friends and a lot
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: of people that you played with. Also, you're a really
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: nice guy, You're a really warm guy, and on top
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: of that, you're a freaking patriot.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it helps when the patriots are The patriots are
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: in there, they're they're here, and there's a lot of patriots.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Like you couldn't go anywhere without people stopping you and
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: being like Matt Castle or just.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: One guy just lived next to you and live next
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: to no football, no relation whatsoever.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Just know from Manhattan Beach.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Who did you see here? That was good to see
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: because at some point you had played with him.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we got to interview Vince Woolfork and
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: that was h It's always great to see him because
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: he was a guy in the locker room that was exceptional,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: great player, but good, good teammate, fun to be around.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: So I haven't seen him in quite some time, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: so to see him and then who else did I
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: see here? I mean there's so many different faces that
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: you see.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Did you see was Matt Light here?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Matt Light wasn't here. I did not get a chance
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to see him.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if he was here.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: The reason I say that somebody asked I was there,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: and someone said, hey, you know a really great interview.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: You guys did was Matt Light. That's well that's his
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Castle new one.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love love Mattie, and I don't even know
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: if he's here. You know, that's the hard part was
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: when you're getting prepared to come to this place and
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: you know so many people do you shoot a text
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: out to every person and potentially, do I need to
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: go see this person this person which you want to
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: store everybody? Yeah, right, But you could go to every
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: single party and do all these different things. But it's
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: a lot to do in a very abbreviated period of time.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: So normally I just bank on the fact that I'm
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: going to run into some people. Particularly over there at
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Media Row.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: You would just be walking through though, and people would
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: grab you with a with a standing microphone.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: It's a camera.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: That's the wildest part about Media Row is that you
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: you have the places that are designated to set up
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: for podcasts and those and the shows and all that stuff.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: But as you're walking through there, anybody with a care
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: they've got their own phone on a stand that they'll
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: sit there and they'll go through a five ten minute interview.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, I promoted something and told Patriot fans and
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks fans to raise money for a cause that
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: the guy never even told me what I was raising
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: money for. So I was like, yeah, I mean, I'm
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: all for it, man, if I could help.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: The kids and help the kids love the kids.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Like at one point, I was like, but what am
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I promoting, Like, I have no idea, Like it could
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: have been something so abstract that nobody's ever heard of,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: but I'll do it because I'm all about the kids.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I only saw the top of Fernando Mendoz's head.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I ran into him in the restroom. And so with
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: NBC coverage, we had him for a game this year,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: and so I was in the room during the production meetings,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: got to shake hands with a talk to him for
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Great guy. But of course I'm coming
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: out of the bathroom and all of a sudden there's Fernando.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I was like, hey, Fernando, and he kind of looked
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: at me awkwardly trying to put it together, and I said, hey,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I was with the NBC Matt Castle and I said, oh,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: He's like, Matt, nice to meet you. He goes. We
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: talked for a second. I congratulated on my great season.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Then he hands me his punny. He says, hey, can
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I get your number? He's like, I'm just gonna go
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: to the restroom. You can just put it down on
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the on the scenc right here. And I was like, uh, yeah,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: no problem.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: He just gave you his phone. He gave me I unlocked.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: It went to contact, I plugged in my info and
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: then I was like, I'm just gonna hold onto this
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: and give it back to him when he comes out.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, he comes out awkwardly
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: and he had like one of his guys, a handler,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: probably taking him around to the different media outlet's say's
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: got to talk to And he comes out and I
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: was gonna shake his hand. I was like, yeah, well,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: maybe we'll do the little elbow bump because you just
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: got done going to the restroom.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: But what an unassuming, nice guy.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Such a nice guy. I mean, he's honestly one of
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: the uh the guys that you interview that you know
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: he's got it all together, Like he's smart, he understands
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the game, understands the position he's in. And so I'm
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: interested to see where he goes this year, because it's
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: gonna be they're gonna get a good guy that's guy's
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: head on his shoulders and super mature for his age.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, for sure, it's Vegas, right.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: You gotta think if you need a.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Quarter less they trade the pit.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Trade the pick, get draft capital, and they've got it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: But I think they probably go for the quarterback even
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: though they're not ready.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: You know, still on contract there.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: He yes, but he's not going If they get Fernando.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I imagine he goes and either plays a few games
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: behind Geno or it goes immediately.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Either that or they're gonna keep him there as a
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: mentor that's been through every part, every scenario that you
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: can go through as a quarterback, if he's willing to
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: do so and still be able to pay him, because
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Fernando salary is gonna be lesbian in the first round
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: of the draft.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Are there quarterbacks who are good in that role of
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: being that mentor and some that just are terrible that
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: you'd never want to be that role.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I think it's the quarterbacks that have been the starters
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: and somebody takes over their position that they struggle with that.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: And I was with Teddy bridge Water in Minnesota, and look,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I've been in both both roles at that point in
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: my career where I was the guy in Kansas City,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I started all sixteen games when I was in the Patriots.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, I always appreciate somebody that
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: was in a backup role that you knew had your back,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: that you didn't feel like was trying to always burn
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: back his position or do anything like that, and they
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: were because you spend so much time as a quarterback
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: group together that you want to know these guys in
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: the room don't have a secondary agenda and kind of
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: behind your back und maybe back Sabbnue are doing all that.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: But I think it's the guys that lose their job
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: maybe midseason or something like that, that have a very
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: difficult time being able to adapt to that new role
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: and not play and have to be there to say, man,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna make this guy the best version of himself
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: and try to help and teach versus still have that
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: competitor's edge inside of him and say no, I want
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: my job back. And I think those are the guys
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: that struggle.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Who is your backup? In New England.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: In New England, so my first first year I was there,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: it was I was actually third on the depth chart
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: because Doug Flutie was there so and he was phenomenal.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: You know, he's forty one years old at that point.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: It's not like he was threatened by anything I said.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: He's a throwback to the nineteen eighties. Drives up in
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: a transam with an eagle on to the front like
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: would sometimes beat dozen off during meetings. It was just
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: that the you know, the time of life he was in.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Next year, we only had two quarterbacks on staff, myself
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: and Tom. And then Tom had some injury. He got
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: banged up against the Buffalo Bills. He had this huge
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: leg concusion. They didn't know if he could go, so
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: we had to bring somebody in. Brought in Vinie Testaverty
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: was to.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Beat three to the quarterback three or in.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Case I had to start. Yeah, we needed a backup quarterback.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: So Bill had the relationship with him. Going back to Cleveland,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: brought in Vinnie Testiverty, which is another incredible mentor wealth
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: of knowledge.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Did you like him?
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Awesome dude, Awesome dude. And when he'd get on, like
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: you talk about a presence physically, this dude was sixty
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: five six six.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Like reached party.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Was that big dude yoked up. Still he'd get in
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: there and do three fifteen on swats at forty two
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: of years of age. But he was like this calming presence,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: awesome dude. And he'd get on the I remember when
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: he would first get on the plane ride to go
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: to away trips. He'd look like a straight out gangster, right.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: He lived in Jersey at the Pinky Ring on the
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Kango hat. Like I was like, dude, this guy definitely
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: hangs out with John Gotti.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Whenever you were starting the year that Brady went down, Yeah,
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: who was your backup?
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell. Kevin O'Connell. So they drafted him that year,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I think in the second or third round, and they
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: probably at that point kind of like they did in
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: New England is they would recycle their backup snow and
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: they had had the number. I mean, they had Tom
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Brady that they had to pay, so they weren't going
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: to really go out there and get a veteran guy
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: and put another guy on the payroll worth a significant
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: amount of money to impact the cap. So Rowan Davy
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: was there before me. They recycled him. I mean they
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: got rid of him after his tenure was up. And
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: then I was in my fourth year of my rookie contract.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: So they probably were grooming Kevin to come in and
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: take over that backup role when he was ready.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Because they didn't have to pay him. Because they didn't
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: have to pay and you were on your rooie deal,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: On my rookie deal and let me go to free agency.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: But who the hell is gonna pick me up after
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: that year? Not having starts, playing sparingly, playing in some games.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: The only significant time I had while Brady was a
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: starter was my rookie year. It was the last game
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: of the season against Miami where Belichick let me go
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: in there and play three quarters. And really, what I
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: think it was was an audition to see if the
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: following year I would be able to be that backup.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: And so luckily I went out there and played well
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: and was able to create myself a role as a
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: backup quarterback. But thank god I got that opportunity, because
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know where or where I don't know where
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: my career would have gone from an NFL standpoint if
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: I didn't get that opportunity that year, because you know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: teams aren't looking for a guy that's never had a
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: start or no experience as their backup quarterback, because God forbid,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: their starting quarterback goes down and somebody's got to step
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: into a role, and it's an uncertainty.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Who is your backup?
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: In Kansas City, Kansas City, Brodie Croyle and he had
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: been the starter there for a few years, but had
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: suffered some injuries. One of the most talented arms I've
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: ever been around. Awesome guy, super supportive. Tyler Palko was
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: there as well with me in Kansas City my last
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: year in Kansas City, but they brought in Brady Quinn,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: another incredible guy, great player, could throw it, spin it.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Then I went to Minnesota to backup Christian Ponder.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: You were backing up Ponder.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I was backing up and I was really a guy.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: There was probably some questions about Christian because he was
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: a young kid that got thrown into the fire, hadn't
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: had a ton of success, you know. I was probably
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: one of the higher paid backups at the time, and
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: so unfortunately for Christian, he got banged up a little
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: bit that season. So I made probably for I probably
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: made five or six starts of that season just due
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: to injury. And then late in the year they just
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: had me play out the rest of the year, which
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: allowed me to basically option out of my contract just
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: to be resigned for a higher number and go back
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: to Minnesota, because I want to go back to Minnesota.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I really enjoyed my time there, and then I started
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: that next year and that's when they brought in Teddy Bridgewater,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: they drafted in the first round, So I guess I
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: was that bridge guy. And then the bridge crumbled pretty
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: early because I broke my foot in Game three, which sucked,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: and then I'm on ir for the rest of the season.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Then I got trade to Buffalo Dallas. Dallas trade in
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: the same year, Dallas trade for me once Romo went
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: down and Brandon Whedon was there with me as my
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: backup there. Romo came back somewhere late in the season,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: then got it, broke his ribs again or did something
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: to himself. Where played out the rest of that year,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: and then I went to Tennessee to back up Marcus Mariota.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Did you know since you had started and had backups before? Heck,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: you had been a backup, but sure because you were
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: a third string guy and then you were the backup
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: righter Brady, right, was that like, did you know the
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: role of the backup on how to be a good backup?
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I did?
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Did you accept it?
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I accepted it obviously as a backup. When you get
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: in that role, you don't know. When you go to
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: like Minnesota and you're a bridge guy and there's maybe
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: some uncertainty to be about the starter. There is that
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: possibility right away that you think, hey, at any point
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I could go in and got to be ready and
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: all that stuff. And obviously injuries happen all the time
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: in the league, but in terms of being a backup
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: and a good teammate, that never was an issue for me,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: and even some of the through the some of the
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: difficult adversities I went through in Kansas City when I
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: got hurt, Braddy Quinn went in and I had a
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: concussion and was out for a week. Brady played pretty well,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: but there's that Okay, our team's not doing too well.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Should we start Brady at one point? And so you've
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: got to learn sometimes how to swallow your pride and
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: do what's best. And I think that that's also something
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: that stuck with me and how people viewed me coming
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: into their organization and postpone, I mean, continued my career
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: because they knew that I was a head, stand up character,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: I'm a team guy, I'm gonna be able to help
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: develop and I'd seen enough football and had gosh, I
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: don't know how many starts I had in the NFL,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: but I probably was in the seventies or something like
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: that in terms of starts. So I had a lot
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: of experience and knew how to prepare and take the
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: wisdom that I've learned from Tom Brady, from Vinny Testaverdi,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: from all these guys throughout my career that helped these
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: young guys learn how to prepare and be a voice
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: and do what they needed to do to be successful.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Whenever Philip Rivers came back, obviously he was older, but
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: the joke was his insurance was about to run out,
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: because after five years or so, was that a big
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: deal for you in insurance?
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Right now? Man? I got five kids? Are you kidding?
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding? We got gotta signa and look at
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: how much you actually got to pay for health insurance
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: and dental and all.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: That's how many years ago did you retire at this point?
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Twenty eighteen, so you've only been without NFL and charts.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: For a couple of years. Yeah, And it kicks me
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: right and that you know what, every single time I
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: look at that bill and I go, man, what is
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: the deal? I got to get a corporate job. The
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: nice part is working for NBC. If you you clock
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: enough hours, they offer an insurance. So I have insurance
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: through NBC these last two seasons, and I'm like, oh,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: this is great, But now who knows what's gonna happen
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: because my contract's up this year and we might be
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: moving on, so gotta go go back out there, maybe
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: keep on the grind.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Do you think you'll stay living in Nashville?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I do, Yeah, Yeah, We've been here since twenty sixteen.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Because you landed here because of the Titans, right, they did.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: But we also committed here because of Tennessee.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: So you came to the Titans.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: So I went to Detroit after I was done. When
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: I played two years here, I went up to Detroit
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: to finish my career and we came right back. We
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: had the option to go back to California anywhere we
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: want to go. But it kind of the way in
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: which you can raise your kids, the values of people
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: that all stuff. It kind of slowed life down for
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: us a little bit, and the kids are happy in school.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: So I see us for the long run being in Tennessee.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I often didn't for a while, especially when my wife
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: moved here, because.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I kind of had a system support system.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Of friend group, and she moved from California, which is hard.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is hard for her.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Was hard for her, and I thought, you know, I
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: could see myself at some point moving to Fayetteville, Arkansas,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: and then being in Nashville a little bit, you know,
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: for the things I needed to do, because if Faybelle
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: would be like closer to Oklahoma where she's from, it's
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: an hour from her hometown.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, her support systems there.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, at least her like family. And so I always thought,
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: maybe we'll move to Fatteville.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Are you telling me of us now to let me
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: know that we're no longer doing podcast?
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: No, not at all, because we bought a house in
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Pantville and oh.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: God, now the writings on the wall.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Wealy bought a house in Bayville. But she now does
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: not want she loves Nashville. Oh, and that's my point,
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: is like I never thought that she would be someone
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: who loved Nashville, only because I just dunked her in
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: the water as she moved here and had and for
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: a long time she'd have any friends. So it was
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: hard for her to love a place where she had
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: no friends. It wasn't even about the place. But now
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: you know, they we're about to have a kid and stuff.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: She's like, I really love Nashville.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's a great place to raise a family. Bobby,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know about Fayetteville, but I mean Nashville's great place.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you have a famuell has Arkansas.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about it if I lived there, which I'm not.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you's already such a homer.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you the tickets to everything.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: I would be going to give this volleyball for every
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: inner mural games, everything.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: It would be the greatest kig.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: But I think when you say that about Nashville being
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: so great, I never really felt that myself because it
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: never really mattered where I lived, you know, grew up
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: in Arkansas, worked there, but then moved to Austin.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Loved Austin.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Thought I was gonna say, I always thought you were
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: in Austin.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: It was the best city. Really, I'm telling you.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I had finally decided because I had built my own
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: syndication company. I was starting to make real money that
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: I could make more money off of because I owned
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: some of what I was doing, because I bought it
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: all invested it, And I was like, you know, I
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: think I can live here and just build it out
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: from here.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm not kidding.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: When I finally had to come to terms with I think,
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna live here. I'm not gonna go to
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: La or New York because that path had presented itself,
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: but not in ways that I felt comfortable leaving it
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: all behind.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to do it all from here.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Within thirty days, the Nashville situation presented as soon as
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: I accepted that I was in Austin.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to stay in Austin.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: It was so weird, so I was like, this is home,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: and Nashville is like, broo, let's do it.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: So we moved.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: And I always was like, I don't like.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Nashville, mostly because all I was doing was working, so
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I really didn't trust anybody in the industry because I
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: didn't know why they want to be my friend.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: So I didn't love this city because it was all
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: work for me.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: But now that I am able to slow it down
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: a little bit and my wife's able to love it,
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: I do like it.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I don't like winter.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Winter sucks, yeah, but it's still a mild winter comparatively speaking.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Last week was crazy or whatever it was with the
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: ice storm, but how often do we get that?
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: But it's not mild to me because I grew up
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: in Arkansas. It's about the same I think in California. Bro,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Oh that's true, But you lived in Minnesota, you lived
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: in Buffalo.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: That's usually in Buffalo. That changed everything about you. San
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Francisco that's winter, that's winter. It was seventy degrees.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: I was sweating my ass off did I was not
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: adapted to that? Isn't it amazing? Though? Like how you're
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: gonna have the best laid out plan and you think
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: you're going this direction.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: My plan was finally laid out, Yeah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: And you're good to go, and then all of a sudden,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: some presents itself and in a heartbeat, you have to
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: make a decision and you go, Man, I'm gonna trust
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: I guess my instincts. Divine intervention. Bro.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: What I'm worried about now because I finally come to
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: terms that it's Nashville for me.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's gonna I know.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: I finally come to terms like, no, I can do this.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: I can live out this career that I've always wanted.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: It's just gonna be from Nashville. But like, I'm there,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: so now I'm just kind of looking around.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Oh man, what big opportunity will present itself.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I say that I'm canceling out the opportunity.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Right, No, no, you're not. You speak it into existence.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: Who's the let's say, biggest legend that you just saw
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: this weekend?
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Biggest legend because I saw I saw, I saw Marcus
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Allen stayed in line to get a credential.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie Bo Jackson was. Yeah. I mean,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: he's just a legend of the game and his career
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: was short. But at the same time, growing up, I
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: mean he was like on par with the Michael Jordans,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: bo Nos and all that famous. I had the poster,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, because how cool was that ad and everything else?
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: We saw Dion out there. Dion's obviously one of those guys.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: It's a Hall of Famer and somebody that you go
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: anytime you see dionni he's got that wow factor.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I had to tell you who the Boom guys were,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: the Costco guys.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know the Costco guys, But now I'm
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: gonna go just dive deep into the other shed and yeah,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: it's them reviewing you said, it's them reviewing Costco food.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: And the boom and yeah booms because they walked by
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: and they were like giving us dabs.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I think because people just.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Recognize them all the time, so they are outward about
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: just being nice to folks.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: They're so big.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: They were on like I think aw wrestling, like they
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: were wrestling. Really they became so big on the internet,
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: and I'm not sure it was like Big Justice Kevin.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: You don't know them, huh No, I didn't either, But
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: now you knew the British guy that gave the compliments.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah with the smoking jacket.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: You've never seen the guy before.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: You have to a compilate to die.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Like you walk up and he's had a
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: lot of these golf tournaments and stuff, and I've seen
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: some of his feed and it's actually hilarious because it's
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: this polite gentleman making very nice comments the people in
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: a funny manner and you laugh your ass off. I
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: don't know his name or anything.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: And they were right by each other and I said, oh,
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: there's the boom guys, and Catle's like there's the compliment
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: guy and both.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: It was like we don't know who the other person.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know who you're talking about. I guess your
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: feed's different than.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Mine probably, although you're not on a feed much. No, No,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: you're limited. You don't care about it as much. We
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: have five kids.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if I if I go down that
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: scrolling thing, yeah, it's not something that I'm really I'm captivating,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: captivated by it in the moment, but I'm not one
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: of those searching for new content, like I'll do the
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: food porn thing where you go through, especially Super Bowl
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Sunday coming up right.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Now, all you watch people have sex with food.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's it's something that calms my mind. You know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: whatever it takes, you know, and if you want to
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: like by me, go ahead. No. Yeah. The people that
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: are making like these incredible dishes for Super Bowl Sunday
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: and that I saw one the Hall of Peno poppers
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: are made in a different way. Yeah. I geeked out
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: over that. I was like, honey, and then I just
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: send it to my wife and said, can you make this? Oh, dushy, No,
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think she's going to because we're going to
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl party probably.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Oh no, I mean if you send her a recipe, well, yeah,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: my wife can cook her ass off really like she's
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: putting them.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: On the line.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Wife too. I was so surprised, But I'm.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: So lucky from that standpoint because she can put she
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: can go into a recipe book in any of these
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: barefoot contesta this, that and the other, and look at
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: them in you and I mean, it is incredible. She's great,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: that's super cool.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, all of your kids ever want to have
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: the same meal though.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Oh hell no, that's the hardest thing. Are you kidding?
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: You could make the best meal like that. I think,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: thank thank you, honey. Blah blah blah. One kid's not
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: eating it, one kid says, I'm not hungry. The other
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: one eats it, one eats half of it. Can I
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: have a Can I just have a peanut butter and
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: jelly salwench. I was like, guys, we're not an open restaurant,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: And if we have food in there from another meal
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: that they wanted, can we just have that? And then
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: sometimes you feel guilty, and you given that is setting
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: in presidents that you don't want because then they figure,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: look if I just bag enough, Like and we were
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: reading this book one time and they said, look, if
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: your kid doesn't want to eat, just say fine, you
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: do this is what's being served tonight, and you can
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: sit here at the table and if but this is
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: what's dinner, and then they go to bed starving. I
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: was like, God, I am I can be one of
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: those people that it's a little bit hard at times
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: in that sense, but I don't want my kids going
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: to bed starting when they're six or seven. I was like,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: that feels like it's a little ruthless.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Your old teammate won MVP mass effort.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: That was awesome, man. I mean just even as an
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: acceptance speech, having his girls up there, and I mean
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: he's a girl dad and all that, but the year
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: that he had was phenomenal. Such a remarkable guy. And
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously out coming off the season that he
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: has to be recognized as an MVP because he's had
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: an incredible career. But this is another notch on his
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: belt which I think eventually will lead to the Hall
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: of Fame. And then I thought the coolest part of
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: the speech was that he put all the rumors of
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: bed right. He said, and I'll be back next season.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Hopefully we're not here, we're playing in the game. I
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: thought that was great because we're not sitting there speculating
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: what are they going to do at the quarterback position?
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: You let the organizational, the organization know and your rock
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: and roll. It was great.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: It's also rare that someone wins the MVP and then
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: has to let people know if he's going to retire
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: or not.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's usually a younger, younger guy win that MVP.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Right, Usually, yeah, the old guy is not winning the MVP,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: and then is it the center of speculation of are
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: they gonna keep playing? He'd beat Drake May by one
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: first place vote, one first place vote.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I didn't know what was that close?
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: And you know who got one first place vote? Justin Herbert?
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, come on, you don't know.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: This, let's hear your reactions.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: So it was in the and it would have been
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: enough to flip it, but Stafford and it was like,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: I don't have the nermbe like, there're gonna be thirty
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: six first place votes Drake May one first place vote
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: less than that.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I made the numbers. I'm sure Kevin will tell you.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: And then third was justin Herbert on first place vote,
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: justin Herbert, one first place vote.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: See that's see, that's where it comes into question who
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: made the vote.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: He's mad at the voters. Again it's Belichick and Crab.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: But here we go.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Who made the vote and what was your reason? I
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: just want to hear the reasoning behind it. You might,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: you might compel me to go. That makes sense to me.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: I saw the guy saying why he voted for Herbert,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: and he said, it's because he had two offensive linemen
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: and he was able to do this with a lot
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: of resources.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: That was why he gave him the WPP.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Since in some people's minds, for sure, and Justin Herbert
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: had a phenomenal year considering all the circumstances what he
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: went through. But at the same time, the body of
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: work between those two players that we're talking about right here,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard not to say it was a
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: two horse race, so to speak with you, though you
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: have were the numbers got.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: We had Matthew Stafford okay with twenty four, Drake May
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: with twenty three. Justin Herbert had one that would have shifted.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: You did have Josh Allen with two, but no one's
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: gonna argue that Josh Allen shouldn't have been up there
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: in that mix. But it was that Justin Herbert one
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: vote that kept it from happening. But also that vote
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: could have also gone to Matthew Stafford, so it's not
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: like that vote automatically would have went to Drake May.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: But what happens if the voting process.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: In a tie, then you have cobbs do you really? Yeah,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: you don't flip a coin to anything. You literally because.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: I didn't know if it would maybe be a re No,
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: they can't revote, they'd be vote for the same people.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Well, you also have first place votes, second place volks,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: third place votes, so that they do it like that
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: because McCaffrey was like at four or five, they really
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: only listen to the top three in the final. But
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: if it's a tie, it's literally a tie. It's so
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: hard for them to be a tie because you're ranking everyone.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, has there ever been a
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: co MVP three?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Who else?
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: When's the most recent?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Two thousand and three? Let me see if I can
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: guess them for sure?
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay, two thousand and three. So I would have
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: been where the Manning is he?
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Okay Manning? And uh, let's just go to the Heisman
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Charles Woodson.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: At the MVP when it's got to be a quarterback,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: but didn't once and beat him for the Heisman though,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Who who's in the Super.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: That's my point. Yeah, I'll just say just graduate that.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who's in the Super Bowl that year?
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't know years so.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Well, two thousand and one, two thousand and two, didn't
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: the Patriots win both of those and they won four.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: I can't tell you a single year anybody did anything.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: I don't even know what last year was. Covid fried
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: my brain. Okay, so Peyton Manning's gonna be an offensive player.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: Adrian Peterson, I don't even know if he's in the
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: league at that point.
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I just guess somebody. So we could stop my version
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: of this game.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think back to uh so Peyton Manning's
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: AFC were you were?
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: You were you in the league?
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Then that's not right before you, that was right before me.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: NFC, it can be two AFC guys, Yeah, could it?
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Gosh, all the customers that I'm thinking of my air
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: is not Alex Smith. He was in the league, but
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: he was a really good football player at that point.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: At Utah, We're just gonna buzz you if you don't
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: just yell at name.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just go ahead, Yeah, yeah, gives.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: It the Titans?
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Uh, Derek, Oh yeah, yeah, dude, I'm throwing really yeah,
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: I'm throwing out Chris Johnson.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize McNair was an MVP of the league. Gosh,
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: that's amazing.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Who else? Ninety seven?
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Far far and Barry said, Wow.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: I wonder if they voted the same way then, because
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: it gets down to like point like point Oh oh,
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: I wonder if it was just like a straight who's MVP?
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Like if they were teetered back then, it would be
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: so hard to have co MVPs.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Now, what's how the voting is? Do you know the
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: other one? Nineteen sixty Oh yeah, new.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Rockney Norman, Rock, Joe and Joe.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: For the Phillies. Okay, so congratulations Stafford. Defensive Player of
• 38:12

• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I don't, but I'm guessing this. Miles Garrett, Miles Garrett. Yeah,
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: it was really tough one on that. I'm sure the voters.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: What were the votes for that that award?

  Speaker 4: pretty good rookie year though when you look back, because
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: there was Ted, there was Shock who came on late ish,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: there was Jackson Dark.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: So those were three.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: But he started so strong, he got injured and then yeah,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: it was a tough, tough end of the year.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Then all right, let's go over you mentioned him. What
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: do you got?
• 39:08

• 39:13
  Speaker 3: defensive Rookie of the Year.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's an offensive defensive Rookie of the Year?
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: Is there? There should be. If you have a defensive
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: player of the Year and an offensive player of the
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Year for the league, you should have an offensive Rookie
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: of the Year and a defensive rookie year. I hear you,
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: and tell me who the best special teams player was too.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Kevin wants the best assistant quarterbacks coach as well.

  Speaker 3: of the Year. Did you get catching in marble? Yeah?
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Like just so off and said it multiple times, and
• 40:07

• 40:35
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go over now to two time Super Bowl

  Speaker 2: champion Vince will Fork.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Vince was a five time Pro bowler named of the
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Patriots Ald Decade Team. He was a beast when he played.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: We talked about giving his friends and family super Bowl tickets.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Here you love Vince.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Vince is the best man here.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: He is They're great. Vince will Fork. Vince will Fork
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: is here with us. You guys already know each other.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, man, Vince is the one of the all time
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: greats to ever play his position. But I mean what
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: five time Pro bowler, Yeah, you wear two time Super
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Bowl champion, All Pro Patriots times.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: I've done it though, Yeah, I had those.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: Come on, you went to a lot of accepting ceremonies
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: where you got to sit up there and give a
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: little speech, babe. But I mean, not only was he
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: a great player, but an incredible teammate, an incredible person.
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: So happy to have you on, man, I appreciate Thank
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: you guys for having me. Really appreciate it.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: How you feel about the team this year.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: Expectations weren't to be here, but they are here, So
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: I mean that's something.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: Well, I was just telling Matt.
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: I called it at the very beginning when everything once
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: we realized that Matt was coming in, I mean, Mike
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: was coming in and be a head coach at doing
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: the Patriots, I knew. Yeah, I'm like because I played
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: with Mike right and I played for Mike when he
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: was in Houston as a coach, and we had we
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: spent a lot of time talking about certain stuff. But
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: I just remember Mike as a player. When Mike spoke
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: as a player, when you on the field, you think
• 41:54
  Speaker 7: you're listening to a coach, that's right. I'm thinking I'm
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: listening to Bill Bellachet with somebody off the staff. But
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: he was my teammate, so I just understand, like how
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: much he knows football, his football IQ. And one thing
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: I really love about Mike and and and this is
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: why I tell people. One of the best things I
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: love about him, he's a great teacher. The way he
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: teaches the game, the fundamentals, He get guys to understand it.
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: And I think to be a great coach, you have
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: to be a great teacher, and I think he had
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: both of those up under his belt. So it's not
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: surprising to see us in this position, this this fast,
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: coming from where we came from last year. It's amazing
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: to see. It's what Drake May is doing the second
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: year in as a quarterback man. You know, it's hard,
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: it's unbelievable, right, And I think a lot of times
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: people forget it is it's only second year, so they
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: don't give him as much grace as they need to
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: as a second year player, just because it's his success
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: he's had and how he how he's looking as a veteran,
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: but it's his second year in the game. So for
• 42:52
  Speaker 7: us to be back on this stage, this is where
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: we need to be.
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: This is where we know and we will be in.
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: This is where the organization for the past two decades,
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: you get got used to seeing us there, and it's
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: good to see it back, especially with a new football
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: players and the new head coach is heading in everything,
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: and new leadership on the team with Digs and Milton
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: Williams and all these new faces. It's good to see
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: it doing in a different era. So it's patience one
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: hundred percent for me. I'm looking forward to it and
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: hopefully we can get it done one last time.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: Hey, you won three super Bowls? Right, what part of
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: this week did you think was the biggest grind in
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: terms of getting prepared for the week and also media
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: everything else. When did you really feel like you zoned
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: in and were ready to go?
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: For me, it always be the Thursday, this Thursday right here, right,
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: because we have two weeks to prepare. Yeah, and basically
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: the second you know, the first week you go out,
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: you put out game plan, and then you come back
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: there following week and kind of redo some stuff, take
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: away some things, add a few things. But your game
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: plan was your game plan, what you liked and what
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: you put in that first week you basically just repping it.
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: You have little things here and there that you changed.
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: But this day, this Thursday, that's when I'm really like, Okay,
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: let me get my body, let me get locked in,
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: let me focus. And because I have Thursday, I have
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: Friday and Saturdaday, I have three a's and I'm I'm
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: laser focus in those days and understanding everything's starting to
• 44:17
  Speaker 7: come together. You know, the past are off, you know,
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: Thursdays getting your body back. So now you're saying, okay,
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: I've been away for two weeks, but now it's getting there.
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: But I always took this day like it's go time.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: You hear the stories of you're playing in the Super Bowl.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: You got cousins and mom and friends all who want tickets.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: You played in a bunch of Super Bowls? Did that
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: get easier to provide tickets to the people that you loved?
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: For me, it was very easy. It was a note man,
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: because because.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: You used to we used to be a sell those things.
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know to me And I remember when I
• 44:50
  Speaker 7: first got drafted and we'll talk about tickets and we
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: was going to play the Dolphins and they say, Vincent, well,
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: I know you need about twenty tickets. How many tickets?
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: I say too. Hey looked at me. I'm like, I
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: don't know, I don't. Ain't nobody getting no tickets? Like, no,
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: it's not for to happen. So early in my career,
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: I established that early on. Don't call for tickets. I'm
• 45:12
  Speaker 7: not buying if I make it to so weird, I'm
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: not gonna do this. I'm gonna get a certain amount
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: of tickets for people that I know that need them.
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: And that was it.
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: But I was always one of them. I just I
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: just like football, like all this other stuff. Y'all handle that,
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: y'all do what y'all want to do. I'm a football player.
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: I don't got time to deal with tickets. Don't call
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: me if it ain't about football, don't bother me. You know,
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: my teammates, my teammates, and but outside of my teammates,
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: in my locker room, I had my core family members
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: that I talked to daily and other than that. My
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: football team was my family, so I didn't need tickets
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: for my football family.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: They got it.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Talk to me about when you first came in your
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: rookie year. You guys won the Super Bowl, right, but
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: you had an incredible room. You had Ty Warren, Richard Seymour,
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: Willie mcguz, Roosevelt calledy brew. So who is most impactful
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: for you when you first came into the league And
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: amongst that group of greats, Patriot greats and football greats,
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: who had the most impact it was.
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: Really it was Willie McGinnis.
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: William McGinnis was definitely d one because I remember watching
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: Willie and Slay lineup opposite ends as I've watched the
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: Patriots growing up. So Willim McGinnis was one of them,
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: and Rodney Harrison, ty Low, Teddy Brucey, those guys. Seymour
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: was four years in when I got in there, and
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: I love ty. Ty Warren is my guy.
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: The most underrated guy that I ever played with.
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: I think so underrated, but he was probably like the
• 46:47
  Speaker 7: meeting potatoes of that defensive line. Honestly, but a lot
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: of a lot of credit give is given to me
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: and Seymour, but Ty, I mean, he was just that
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: one guy that can do anything.
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: You could put him anywhere. He was durable, he.
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: Was like a mule man, like get it done, tough, strong,
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: great teammate, Southern boy. I loved him. So it was
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: easy for me to come in and learn from these
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: guys and have a defense the way we had with
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: so much leadership on it. And I'm coming from the
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: universe to Miami and I'm coming from guys and leadership
• 47:19
  Speaker 7: as well.
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: We won, We know how to win.
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: So it wasn't a big difference honestly, of transitioning from
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: college to pros.
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: It wasn't because I've seen it. I've been in it.
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: I played fast, I played with some great guys, and
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: just coming to New England, you know, now I'm in
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: an NFL playing for a Bill Belichick team that's just
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: coming off a super Bowl win against Carolina down in Houston.
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: And then Ted Washington, the best nosetacker ever to get
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: rid of Ted and draft me. So now it's like,
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: oh my gosh, Ted Washington, now he's going. Now I'm
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: coming in like I don't even know how to play
• 47:52
  Speaker 7: nose tackle, right, So a lot of people have to
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: understand I had to learn the game of nose tackle
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: because it's totally different than a defensive tackle. It's a
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: totally different game. So I had to learn how to
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: bill nose tackle. And a lot of credit go to
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: Bill and Romeo of just believing in me enough to
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: detern me into a nose howcker to be real efficient
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: at this level because once I learned that, they can
• 48:13
  Speaker 7: do so many multiple things because my background was the
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: one gapper, so I can do anything.
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: I could play anywhere across the ball and stuff.
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: And that's why, like my year four the most they
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: started moving around from defensive end and three tech meee,
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: left and right. Then we started getting into the game
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: planning of me and all that and that thing. That's
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: when my game really took off once they once I
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: proved for them, I noticed defensive inside of out, I
• 48:35
  Speaker 7: can understand the offensive scheme, and my football IQ was
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: what it was. I think that's when Bill really trusted
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: me to line up at defensive end or line up
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: at that three technee or goal play on this side
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: on these certain plays because he knew I could do it.
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: So a lot of credit go to my coaches with
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: disbelieving in me, but also putting in the work and
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: showing and proving it to him that.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: I can do it.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: What are you doing with usl USO?
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: So I got it.
• 49:03
  Speaker 7: I've been on three tours with the USO. I've been
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: to eleven countries in the past three years, and what
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: the USO stands for is unbelievable. They kind of bridge
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: that gap between the military family and the military because
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: you have guys that haven't seen family years.
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: You know, you have eighteen nineteen twenty year olds away.
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: From home in Poland, Romania, Sicily, you know, all these
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: places that they're not used to. Its foreign to them,
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: but they get They go there to work to make
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: sure that we're safe, protect our freedom, the sacrifices of
• 49:42
  Speaker 7: the dedications they make daily for us to do what
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: we need to do, for me to be who I
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: became as a football player, for you guys to sit
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: here and do this and talk, it's all because of them,
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: you know, because at night when we're sleep and having
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: these nice dreams, they're up. You know, they're watching everything,
• 50:01
  Speaker 7: they're making, they're they're inaccepting things, their bombs, you name it,
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: they're they're there. Are twenty four seven three sixty five
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: they don't stop, and I think we need. The least
• 50:11
  Speaker 7: we can do is show our support and love and
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: let them know how much we love and support them,
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: and just cherish everything they do for us to keep
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: us safe. And the USO is a great, great organization
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: that provides that for them. And just to be able
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: to see face these kids' faces when they see being
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: I walk in with my Super Bowl ring, they turn
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: into little kids, right. And then you have their lieutenants
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: and their currents, like we haven't seen him smile in
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: over here, and then you know, I come in here
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: and I get a smile out of them. And it's
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: just the camaraderie. It's just like football, you know how
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: it is in the locker room. When you're around your people,
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: you feel safe. We can have conversations and we can laugh,
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: we could talk, we can cry. It's no different with
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: those guys. You know, they have what they have. But
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: now when you start bringing in celebrities and guys coming,
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: you know, like we just we this year. We did
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: said Kuwait, We was in Jordan, we was in Djibouti
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: in Africa.
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: That's where we were.
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: Just now, right, So to go over there and to
• 51:09
  Speaker 7: have Patriot flags and just represent the US. It was
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: seatle fans. You named football. They're big football and the Americans.
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: But there are any these locations just so to make
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: sure that we're safe.
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: And it brings such joy to me when.
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: I leave them, and then I get home and then
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: now I have a parent emailing me saying you met
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: my son and sending me a picture. I can't explain
• 51:34
  Speaker 7: to you how much that meant for me and my family.
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: He still is talking like it's amazing just to get
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: that type of feedback and what it does.
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: It carries a long way. It goes a long way,
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: if you believe it or not.
• 51:46
  Speaker 7: We have guys that's been in the military with the
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: President of the USO. He been in there for thirty
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: plus years. He still remember those USO days people coming around.
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: He's still remembering that you talk of thirty forty years.
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: So this is something that lasts with them forever. They'll
• 52:01
  Speaker 7: never forget and I'm glad I can be a part
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: of it. So the more we can showed him the
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: support of what they do for us on a daily basis,
• 52:08
  Speaker 7: the more I love it.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: That's we appreciate the time.

  Speaker 4: Here is NFL safety Justin Reid, who now plays for
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: the Saints. He's won two Super Bowls for the Chiefs,
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: he played for the Texans, and now he's in New Orleans.
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: Where he grew up.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Here, he is the great Justin Reid.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: Justin Reid, I mean, this is one of the top
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: safeties in the league. Versatile.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: He's been with Houston, Kansas City.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: Now you're back home in New Orleans. Tell me what
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: that experience been like being back home in New Orleans.
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Man, it's a full circle moment.
• 53:00
  Speaker 8: It's a full circle moment to go and play for
• 53:02
  Speaker 8: the team that I grew up watching. I've been asked
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: a ton about what I think about Drew's Hall of
• 53:06
  Speaker 8: Fame coming to the Hall of Fame, and that was like, man,
• 53:09
  Speaker 8: like growing up watching that guy and how he inspired
• 53:11
  Speaker 8: the whole state and really made kids like me back
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: in you know, the early two thousands, like fall in
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: love with with football and watching the Saints and now
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: have an opportunity to go back and pour into the
• 53:22
  Speaker 8: Saints program and try, you know, do that for the
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: next little kid that's growing up right now.
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: It's the coolest feeling ever. Man.
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: That's no fan base in the world like the Saints
• 53:30
  Speaker 8: fan base. They're crazy and they'll let you know about it.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: Was it your goal to get home, like you did
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: you know that was gonna be an option to go
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: for No?
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: I didn't. I didn't. I never. That never came across
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: my mind.
• 53:42
  Speaker 8: And then when I was in there the agency and
• 53:44
  Speaker 8: I got the call, like it was in that moment
• 53:46
  Speaker 8: that I was like, Wow, this is actually pretty cool.
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: Like I never thought that I would go home and
• 53:50
  Speaker 8: play for the Saints that you know what I mean,
• 53:52
  Speaker 8: you just don't think about it, and the opportunity came
• 53:55
  Speaker 8: up and I just, you know, wanted to grab it.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: I got a question, being from Louisiana, how did you
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: end up at Stanford?
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 54:01
  Speaker 8: I mean what, Yeah, you know, I kind of asked
• 54:03
  Speaker 8: myself that sometimes too. There's a couple of things that
• 54:06
  Speaker 8: definitely helped though, because I was so close to going
• 54:08
  Speaker 8: to LSU.
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: It's like when I didn't sign.
• 54:11
  Speaker 8: An LSU, being a kid from Louisiana, it was like,
• 54:14
  Speaker 8: it's like I betrayed the state.
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: It was like, what you mean, you don't want to
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: go tho shoe.
• 54:19
  Speaker 8: But my older brother was playing for the forty nine
• 54:20
  Speaker 8: ers at the time, right down the street, and my
• 54:23
  Speaker 8: mom was travel nursing. She'd work two weeks and then
• 54:25
  Speaker 8: come on two weeks and she was travel nursing in Oakland,
• 54:28
  Speaker 8: So there was already a little pod on here in
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: the Bay Area. You know, it just made it a
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: transition a little easier.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: Whenever you're getting ready for the Super Bowl, you you
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: got two right got to you got too where each
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: of those experience is different.
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: The first one, yes and no.
• 54:44
  Speaker 8: So the first one was like your first super Bowl,
• 54:47
  Speaker 8: You're like trying to get ready for it. Like I
• 54:49
  Speaker 8: don't think that I had fun during the week, you
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: know what I mean, Like I was so locked in on,
• 54:54
  Speaker 8: like I just want to make sure I'm ready to
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: go and perform and play well and et cetera, et cetera.
• 54:58
  Speaker 8: But then the second and third one, like I allowed
• 55:01
  Speaker 8: myself to actually enjoy the moment. So much more and
• 55:04
  Speaker 8: had so much much more fun that second and third
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: Super Bowl, especially the third one being in New Orleans, right,
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: you know that was an expensive ticket.
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: I played that game for free, you getting all the
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: tickets for the family.
• 55:16
  Speaker 8: But it's a surreal moment and I pray those guys
• 55:18
  Speaker 8: that are in it right now are enjoying it right now.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, talk to me about this week in
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: general in terms of the preparation, what goes into it.
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: What do you think the biggest challenges of this week
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: getting ready for this game.
• 55:29
  Speaker 8: It's just managing distractions. Like there's every distraction in the
• 55:33
  Speaker 8: world that you can have, you know what I mean.
• 55:34
  Speaker 8: Everyone's pulling you on your coattail, trying to drag you
• 55:37
  Speaker 8: in different directions, and it's like, hey, you know, you
• 55:39
  Speaker 8: got to do a little bit of it. But at
• 55:41
  Speaker 8: the end of the day, keep the main thing, the
• 55:43
  Speaker 8: main thing about while we're all here to play, and
• 55:45
  Speaker 8: then having a plan for managing your excitement on game day.
• 55:50
  Speaker 8: That's a real thing. Like young guys it's their first
• 55:52
  Speaker 8: time playing. We had a whole twenty minute meeting on
• 55:55
  Speaker 8: just managing your energy for a Super Bowl because most
• 55:58
  Speaker 8: of the time you get out, you do your warm up,
• 56:00
  Speaker 8: you go back inside, you come on the field, You're
• 56:02
  Speaker 8: there for ten minutes, and then it's kickoff.
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl.
• 56:05
  Speaker 8: You come out on the field and it's forty five
• 56:07
  Speaker 8: minutes before you do kickoff, and you got to like
• 56:09
  Speaker 8: have a plan and not get yourself too jacked up
• 56:11
  Speaker 8: or emotionally drained. And then you have a thirty five
• 56:13
  Speaker 8: minute halftime, right, you gotta have a plan there.
• 56:16
  Speaker 5: So it's like managing all the extra TV.
• 56:19
  Speaker 8: Timeouts, just staying cool, calm and collected, and uh, just
• 56:22
  Speaker 8: being ready for the moment because that game is gonna
• 56:25
  Speaker 8: it's gonna be a four and a half five.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Hour game spectacle, you know what I mean.
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: So you gotta be ready to last the entire time.
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: Is there a part in the game where it goes
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: from holy crap or in the Super Bowl to okay,
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: Now this just feels like a real game, Like is
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: there a point where its contact?
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, first contact, you know what I mean? Up until
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: you get that.
• 56:43
  Speaker 8: I tell guys all the time, Hey, first play the game.
• 56:45
  Speaker 8: Usually for offenses, it's a run player, it's a boot anyway,
• 56:48
  Speaker 8: But first play the game, you just got to run
• 56:50
  Speaker 8: into somebody as hard as you can, man, because then
• 56:51
  Speaker 8: they'll just bring you they'll bring you back down and
• 56:54
  Speaker 8: now you're like back to yourself and you're ready to
• 56:55
  Speaker 8: just go out.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: There and play as a safety. Obviously, you have to
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: know so many different things from route recognition to run
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: game and everything. Who was a play coach that was
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: most impactful and influential for you that made you grow
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: as a player in the NFL.
• 57:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Man, I gotta go back to my guys bags man,
• 57:18
  Speaker 8: Spags challenged me in so many different ways to be versatile.
• 57:21
  Speaker 8: I mean, all the cover zeros, all the coverage adjustments,
• 57:25
  Speaker 8: you really challenged, like the mental side of the game
• 57:27
  Speaker 8: because we had we had two to three checks for
• 57:29
  Speaker 8: every call based on what the offense was doing.
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: We had master checks versus certain formations.
• 57:33
  Speaker 8: We had a call that would check to a version
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: of two high or one high depending on that the
• 57:37
  Speaker 8: offense was in a certain formation, and if they motioned,
• 57:40
  Speaker 8: then we checked.
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: If they checked, then we checked, you know what I mean.
• 57:43
  Speaker 8: So that part of the game, that chess match in
• 57:45
  Speaker 8: the game was really stimulating and then like it really
• 57:48
  Speaker 8: brought out your best you know what I mean, to
• 57:50
  Speaker 8: bring on your a game and really be a complete safety,
• 57:53
  Speaker 8: complete dB. For me, it was fun times because I
• 57:55
  Speaker 8: had the liberty to send a corner, Like if I
• 57:58
  Speaker 8: had a blitz, I could choose to give my blitz
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: to the corner and now I'm playing cornerback, you know
• 58:02
  Speaker 8: what I mean?
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: So did you want to do that?
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: Though?
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I know what dude, because I could blitz and miss.
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah I know the corner. Yeah, yeah, it is that way.
• 58:11
  Speaker 8: But usually if I had a cut split and I
• 58:13
  Speaker 8: was like, Okay, I'm going to go show like I
• 58:15
  Speaker 8: like to get creative, I'm gonna go show all the
• 58:17
  Speaker 8: way in the post knowing I have this guy man
• 58:19
  Speaker 8: coverage because I know if he comes Scott Free on
• 58:21
  Speaker 8: a cut split X off the side, it's going to
• 58:23
  Speaker 8: be a sack. Like, I'm not gonna have this guy only.
• 58:25
  Speaker 8: The only route he's going to have time to do
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: is a quick out. So as soon as the ball snaw,
• 58:29
  Speaker 8: I'm just gonna run straight to that quick out, you
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: know what I mean. And it'll either be a pass
• 58:33
  Speaker 8: breakup or or a tackle.
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: On the sideline.
• 58:35
  Speaker 8: You think you could have kicked, absolutely not not a
• 58:39
  Speaker 8: died In my mind, I still can't.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: You see.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: That's why I am.
• 58:47
  Speaker 8: I talked to, especially since coordinator philm three days ago.
• 58:50
  Speaker 8: I was like, hey Phil, these new kickoff rules, Yeah,
• 58:54
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean, count of made for it.
• 58:57
  Speaker 5: Take it down there and make a tackle.
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: U DB's like to get chippy, who's the best trash
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: talker from the offensive side of the ball. When you're
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: going up as an opponent, you'd be like, dude, that
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: guy is not only funny, but he's got something.
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: Kelsey, Kelsey talks the most trash bro I know it
• 59:11
  Speaker 8: from being on both sides of the Yeah, the ball.
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: Kelsey talks a ton of trash. Who are some other
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: guys that that are just.
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: Known trash talkers? Jamar talks some trash. Jaman Chase, he
• 59:22
  Speaker 8: talks some trash here and there. Uh, Jetta's doesn't really
• 59:27
  Speaker 8: talk a lot of trash. He's like a quiet assassin
• 59:29
  Speaker 8: tight He kind of keeps it going. But they definitely
• 59:32
  Speaker 8: have some cats up there. A lot of the tight ends, honestly,
• 59:34
  Speaker 8: the tight ends. Yeah, you know a lot of the
• 59:36
  Speaker 8: tight ends.
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: Who's next level quick as a receiver, because everybody's quick,
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: and who's next level large as a receiver.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: That's like, oh that's different.
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: Okay, I'll give you a wide receiver, I'll give you
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: a tight end.
• 59:48
  Speaker 8: Who's with the Steelers tight end his name is for
• 59:54
  Speaker 8: Like this dude is massive, dude.
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: He's like, oh you're talking about Oh dude, homeboy's big
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: big like.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: The other one. He's like two and eighty five.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 5: That dude is huge.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm doing it.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 5: And receivers are just like freaking ridiculous.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: If somebody's that big cat is a huge, like just
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: just massive.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: Some wide receivers that's just tall.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 8: And when I thought, like, uh, Tech with the Panthers,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 8: bigger guy than what you think he is, Uh, next
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 8: level quick, just jitterbug types.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: Tank Dell whenever he was healthy. Hopefully he comes back.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: I like that guy.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: I like watching him play. He was a really quick guy.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, man, there's a there's a handful of nothing.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: What's one thing that you would teach a rookie a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: non football skill that they would need to survive in
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: the NFL, whether it's media training or film study or
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: something like that that it's really not actual football.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah no, the film study part, the film study part.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 8: You can slow the game down so much if you
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 8: just have the slightest clue of what's about to happen,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean? Or even if even if
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 8: you could just eliminate things, I'm like, you're not guarding ghosts,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: Like you see a certain formation over and.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 8: Over again, like my from my career path from where
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 8: I started as a rookie. So you know, as you're old,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 8: you see the same plays, you see the same coordinators,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 8: like I now have a book on the coordinators, Like
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 8: I have a book on the offensive coordinators. Like Okay,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 8: I played this guy when he was coaching for the Buccaneers,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 8: so I know it's going to be the same plays
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 8: and I know that, hey, this wide receiver was who
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 8: this wide receiver.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 5: Was when he was coaching with this program.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 8: And you know, like when you when you can do
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 8: that and you can slow the game down, it just
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 8: allows you to make so many more plays, play so
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 8: much faster to where you're not just out there playing
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 8: seven on seven football.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: And you know what I mean. Like Darnell Washington, by
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 5: the way, Darnell Washington.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: Wow, good Poe, it was working.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 5: It was working back there.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: You saw I was tapped into firemouth and then it
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: was uh really great talking with you.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thanks. People love you.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: I mean obviously when you saw Castle, you guys embraced quickly.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: I mean literally that smile, you got everything, charisma, intelligence,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: can play ball, I mean, and he obviously can kick well.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: I asked him that. He was like, yes, I can't.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 5: I legit want Toro like I want to.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: That would be yeah.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: We appreciate you.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: Just appreciate you, guys.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: All right, that's it from this version of the Super Bowl.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: Go ahead your thoughts on the game. There's not a
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: lot of time.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be an incredible game. I think
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be a defensive battle. To be honest with you.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: Boring, we didn't even know there was a rookie defensive
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: Player of the Year. Is how much that sounds exciting?
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: But it is gonna be a defensive battle. I think
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: Patriots are playing probably they had the best defensive performance
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs thus far, and then Seattle Seahawks, obviously
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: they bring it. It's gonna be I think it's gonna
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: come down to the offensive line for New England if
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: they can give Drake May enough time and block, because
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: they've struggled to pass, protect and protect him throughout the playoffs.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: Now they've played three Juggernauts of defensive units, but this
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: is another one up front that if you don't control
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage, it's going to be a long day.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: Who do you want to win? Who do you think
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: will win?
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: I want the New England Patriots to win. It's hard
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: for me to say that Seattle, the way that they've
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: played throughout the playoffs, and I also think that their
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: most complete team won't win the game.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: I want the Patriots to win.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: I've got Patriot fans in my life, obviously, two of
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: them that do this show with.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: Me, and we have money money on that game.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we do. We're making a bet me and you.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not betting Seattle.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's fine if you want me to what you're
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: giving me points.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: So I would like to see the Patriots win. I
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: do love the Sam Darnold.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: Story though, it's an incredible story.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 4: Like that's the and I think Seattle will win. But
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: that's easy to say, right, that's everyone thinks. Most people
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: think Seattle will win, that's why they're the favorite. But
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: I think the one thing that I would find enjoyment
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: in if Seattle wins is the fact that I love
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: Sam Darnold's story. I don't know him as a person,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: really know nothing about him except that he shows up.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: He's got a good attitude, doesn't talk a lot. Apparently,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: he's a pretty qiet guy in the locker room, like
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: very much.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: It just show up and do the work kind of guy.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: Business.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but is also a guy who it just never
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: went well. He never landed in a place that was
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: conducive to success.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: So he got written off.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like you do in this league. Yeah, it's
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: a win that league, and if you don't win, you
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: gets shipped off and they they say, hey, you're not
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: good enough. And then you get to the right situation
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: and you get an opportunity to prove yourself and all
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, something like this happens.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: He didn't win with the Jets, all right, he must suck.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: He didn't win with the Panthers.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: Actually he was fourign too at the end of the
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: year with the Panthers, but they were probably six in
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: whatever in the season.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was hurt too, Yeah, he got hurt.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Matt Ruhle was on his last year.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: It didn't really work that tough runt.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they traded Baker Mayfield a way too. Yeah.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 4: So and then he goes and he's a backup in
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: San Francisco, yep. And then he and then he wins
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: in Minnesota. But he's on a his contract was one year.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know the questions around can he win
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: a big game? God? Crazy? You can't have one bad
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: game in this league or you're strewed.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: I just hope because the league likes to see things
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: happen before they commit to it. Look right, when they're
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: success at anything, the league then can go, hey, we
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: can bet on this person, or we can do this scheme,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: we can hire this coach because they've had success. What
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: I hope to see is other quarterbacks that have been
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: put in places not conducive.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: To winning get other opportunities.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: Yes, because of what Sam Donald's been able to show,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: even if they don't win this.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: Game, Sam Donald, Baker Mayfield, Jennil Smith in recent memory.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: Just that's the limited geno from that now, huh. I
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: don't think we should drop the geno out.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah, maybe maybe a few years back there
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: he made his money phenomenal.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: Phenomenal, Sorry though, yes, I agree like the people that
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: just did the work. Yeah, their head and took advantage
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: of the opportunity when they got so yeah, same with you.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: I think Seattle will win.
