  Speaker 4: catch any of it? What did you think? Actually, you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I don't watch exhibition football. But Saturday night, Wendy had
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: a show. So I went out to the Whiskey sixty
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: one man room and I watched Haynes King play. I
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: could not believe it that I was watching that. Now
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I was interested because he was so much fun to
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: watch at Georgia Tack. You know, Jimbo Fisher couldn't figure
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: out what to do with him. But then he got
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: to Buster Faulkner and Georgia Tack and they figured out
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: what to do with him. And uh, Buster Faulkner was
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: the OC at Georgia Tack. Now he's the o C
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: for the University of Florida Gators, which Old Miss will
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: play in Game four Game four for the Old Miss Rebels.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Mississippi State does not play Florida. They did last year,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: but I think I've said a couple of times that
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: they do this year and they do not. So but
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Old Miss will face Buster Faulkner OC for Georgia Tech
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: parlays that into heading over to John Summerw's deal at Florida. Anyway, Uh,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: it gave us the one takeaway from the weekend was
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm watching New Orleans Saints fans and they
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: are I mean, they're emotional, you know. And Drew did
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: such a magnificent job in his speech. He was It
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: was heartfelt how he acknowledged a lot of people but
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: kept it moving and from winning a state high school
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: football Championship, to tearing his knee up in high school,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: to not getting any offers in Texas and going to
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Purdue and then the uh San Diego Chargers, which was
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: my favorite team growing up. And I'm wearing a Chargers
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: pullover and I'll be wearing a Peter Malaura out of
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: bounds Whiskey sixty one in a minute. But for him
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: to go to the San Diego Chargers and play with
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Antonio Gates and Ladanian, Tomlinson and Junior Seol and Rodney Harrison,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: you know, and referencing all those guys too, you forget
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: what an impact San Diego had on him too before
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: the shoulder injury, and of course going to New Orleans
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: and making history. And I thought it was also cool
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: that Sean Payton was so emotional. Uh he was a
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: wreck in a good way, and I thought that was
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: special too. So it was good. It was it give
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: you goose pumps. It gave me goosebumps. The people that
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: he talked about that had an impact on his life.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: He was slighted and doubted his whole life, which is
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: crazy considering his accomplishments.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: But that was fun.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: And to see him go into the Hall of fame
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: who at Nation celebrate. I enjoyed Jeff Duncan's piece yesterday
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Nolah dot Com walking you through more of the uh
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: of the story. Jake from Yazoo says, bo I did
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: not watch. I hope that you and Funk play some cuts.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: We will.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: We're gonna have all kinds of stuff on it, and
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be great and I'm looking forward to it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: And it was.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: What a way to reminisce and think back to all
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: the great times that you had as you followed. You
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: didn't even have to be a Saints fan. You could
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: just follow Breeze. I mean, we do that with Mahomes
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: or Montana or Brady or you didn't have to like
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: be fans of their team to go, oh wow, this
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: is incredible following this journey of ten or fifteen years
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: of amazing quarterback play. I love the way he framed
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: it up. You know, I don't know what drewsyic Q is,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: but my god, when he starts talking, he talks on
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: another level as far as you know, describing not not
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: play calling, but just what it takes to prepare as
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: an NFL quarterback. We're gonna have one of Drew Brees's
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: good friends Johnny Blancher on ye Old Town in restaurant
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Breeze reference. That is his favorite spot on Carrollton. That's
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: near and dear to me.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: One.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess technically two of my aunt's restaurants were
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: at the very end of Saint Charles and Carrollton. So
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: that was a spot that I grew up at starting
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty and so when I was reading more
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: and more about him, I knew about some of the
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: other spots that he hit. But this one's it's in
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: a cool spot. It's most people don't Most people don't
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: get uptown, or if they do, they go real quick
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: and come back. My aunt happened to live. You know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: you could almost grab a nine iron and put a
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: golf ball down and hit two lane.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: So that whole area.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Has got amazing neighborhood restaurants, as some of you know
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: that are able to, you know, get out of the
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: quarter every now and then and or the warehouse district
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: or the Marine and see what else is happening. But
• 7:58

• 8:02
  Speaker 4: were buds, and we're gonna get some really good stories.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: On Breeze Jackson, what'd you think about, Uh, Drew Brees
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: going in the Hall of Fame. It's a great, great
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: thing for it's you know, it's a uh, it's a

• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Breeze's former teammates there, Chargers and Saints and Purdue. That

• 9:28
  Speaker 4: total tee toddler back with the big board coming up next?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: What big board man? He's got a set of myths
• 10:10

• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Yep, good morning football season is here. We just had
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: a NFL exhibition game which was actually interesting with Haines
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: King playing crazy and what got into me? And then
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: to see Drew Brees go in what about? How good
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: of guys they are? Larry Fitzgerald, Drew Brees, Roger Cragg,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Luke Keighley, Adam Denna Terry. I couldn't get enough of
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: it over the weekend listening to their speeches or their clips.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, these are just really good dudes. I mean,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: you know, there was a common theme and thread between them.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: They're good guys, and they all have successful careers where
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: it takes incredible which Drew tall about We're gonna drop
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: it in a few minutes, incredible focus and discipline and accountability.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: All of them had it. I mean people try to bucket.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I mean Drew Brees laid out the excruciating gross stuff
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: that he had to do to be what he wanted
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: to be Adam Vin and Terry's stories wild, which I
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: knew some of it, I didn't know all of it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: I watched Roger Craig as a kid with the forty
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: nine ers. I loved him because they were actually not
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: three yards in a cloud of dust. And Bill Walsh
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: was a genius. But man, those dudes could play. Larry
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Fitzgerald just an incredible story, played really away from all
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: of us in a way. You know, it was if
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: he played now, like if he started today and just
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: stated Arizona, it would be different because of the red
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: zone and you get all the games, you know, during
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: that first chunk of his career, and Drew's like, you
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: weren't gonna watch.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Rough breeze out in San Diego. You wouldn't have.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: It wouldn't have been the same love affairs y'all have,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: which I love, you know of him being two and
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: a half hours down the road and have the most
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: impact on the state of Louisiana than anybody in the
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: history of the state. But he would have played off
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: the grid, Seattle off the grid, you know, so Arizona,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: you just didn't. You didn't get to see it that much.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: And same with Benne Terry. I know he was a
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: kicker and he didn't play as me, plays as Luke
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Keigley Bits and Drew and Roger Craig. But even then
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: with his first Patriots Colts career, you had to have
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: it on your you know, it needed to be a
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: noon three o'clock deal. And then over time, now we
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: all all have access and it's pretty incredible. And then
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: the red zone with y'all know what that y'all know
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: that impact is already on. We love offense, we love
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: offensive skilled players. Come on, we'll get up when when
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: our team punts or they punt, we'll get up to
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: go get a beer. Or when we're on defense, well
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: we'll do that. We like to watch quarterbacks, receivers and
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: sew on. But and also that Ben a Terry coach.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: I mean that he played at the Patriots and the
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Colts during the time where Brady and Manning and Belichick
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: and the Colts. You know, the cults are always always
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: trying to turn the Patriots in or something.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: And they did.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: They got a role, I mean Peyton Manning and Bill
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Polly and got a rule change because they couldn't beat
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Belichick and the Patriots. So they went to a fit
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: at the New York City offices. But I mean Ben
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: and Terry played with the Patriots and the Colts, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: then you forget that Drew played with Hall of famers
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Junior sayout, Antonio Gates, Ladanian, Tomlinson, and then you forget
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: that before Rodney Harrison again, he was playing off the grid,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: you know, before he joins Darth Vader and the evil
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Empire of the Patriots, Rodney.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Was with the Chargers.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: God, you're talking about an underrated player, underrated team that
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: got his filthy. He believed in being an absolute shrewd assassin.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: That's just the way he looked at it. Kill or
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: be killed. So how you doing there?
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I'm good. I can't believe you made it today.
• 14:30

  Speaker 4: Did you leave the house twice? Okay three times? What
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: all did you do when it got some d Then
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: when he did some Uh, I was back and forth
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: between the gas station. You know that those pairtive stops.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: You know how to go to the gas station. Okay,
• 14:54

• 16:56
  Speaker 3: You'd pay a couple hundred for this right all day.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know what do you think.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's any doubt, okay, Well, I mean
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: with the history of him of the state, like if
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: he never coached here, I agree, Okay, I could I
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: could busiest passing because he was the head coach at
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Old Miss and the Homer commercial in the hull. Yeah,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: I mean I want a Humma. You need a humma.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: We need a humma. We love humma's. I mean he
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: may do that for the canmeo. Yeah. So I had
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: a really good friend who didn't go to Mississippi State
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: or Old Miss, who had an incredible quote twenty years ago,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: maybe more whatever roughly when Edio he said, I'm going
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: to tell you this, having lived here, he's very successful,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: older than me, probably at least ten twenty. But I'll
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: never forget this didn't go to Old miss or Mississippi State.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: He said, let me tell you something. When that group
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: starts getting made fun of at Christmas parties, you know
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: he don't have a shot. And he was referencing that
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Ozerian that it sounded cool, the southern cal recur thing
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: and all that.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: But he you know.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: They want more Alice Beach Lane than swamps. EDIOH, Yeah,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. I mean, we got we
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: got deer camp Pete and Buckshot Jeff. Now, but I'd
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: say swamp driven Eddy, oh, right from deep in the
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: marshes of the swamps of Louisiana.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Man, these are are the cameos good? I mean well,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think any video with him in the
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: there is gonna be good.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Now he's in that twilight stage of his life and
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: career where anytime he's on camera it's worth something. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: tend to agree with you a big I'd say he's
• 18:43

  Speaker 3: Rick Flair is on here, obviously he'll do them, and
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: it's five hundred plus. Emmitt Smith's on here. Michael Irvin?
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: How much is Emmitt? Emmitt? Seven twenty five? That doesn't
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: surprise me for one minute? Okay.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's some pretty good ROI right here here,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: I just need you to talk for fifty seconds to
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: sixty seconds to make seven hundred and fifty bucks. Okay,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: because because you once the cameo is man, you own it, right,
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: I can do what I want with absolutely.

  Speaker 3: That's mine. I mean that's my assumption. Yeah, man, what
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: was Michael Irban? How much is he? Irvin?
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Five hundred is the base? All these are the base numbers.

• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know what that business video wil consist of,
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: but I think it's I mean, it's gonna be a
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: lot longer in a minute.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Got it? Wow?
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Ed ozeron doing cameos, Okay, who's who's can you you
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: know Mike Leach did cameos and but can you imagine
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: or retired Mike Leach doing cameo? Oh my god, Oh wow,
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: these are ten minutes because I think Mike would be
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: on the higher I mean, I think Mike could get
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: two to four hundred bucks just because he's such a eclectic.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just what's he going to say? Right? What's the
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: can of course Mike only going sixty seconds? Yeah right?
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: You know, I just all the times that I talked
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: to him on the phone, I mean, one on one
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: was fantastic, and we we would tape him because he
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: you just didn't know he couldn't do a segment. And
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: what I mean by that to our listeners is you
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: didn't know what direction was you were going to go,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: and so you couldn't try to count one. No, you
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: couldn't drop Mike in a nine minute segment. Mike Leach,
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Eddie O doing cameos. That's incredible, it really and and
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Leech was doing it when he was at Washington State.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he was set up to get paid.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: I assume he was. I just can remember the picture
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: before he took the Mississippi State job. I guess it
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: was the year they went eleven and two at Gardner
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Minshew and he did some He did a cameo for
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: somebody and maybe it got sticky on on social or something.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Anyway, Uh, that was cool, you pick.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: So you pulled up Emmitt Smith, Michael Urban, John Rocker,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Eddie Oh, and there's a million other.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a chunk.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, they got them up to, you know, Mike l
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Lover to do you a ten minute video. So then
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: you're getting in the five thousand plus, right, Okay, okay,
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: all right, Well, I mean that's some good that's some
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: good side hustle money. I mean, if you can make
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: ten to fifteen thousand dollars a month doing cameos plus
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: all the other things that these guys do all day
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: as far as announcing and and you know they get
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: paid to show up to golf events and they endorse
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: this in that, that's pretty damn good.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, do you go there, do you go to
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: like Dolly Parton? What's Dolly?
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: How much is she I would think she's pretty expensive.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: In fact, let me guess. Hold on, she's gotta be
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: more expensive than it. I'm gonna say yes, but let's
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: see because I know you had him it at seven
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: twenty five ish, and so I'm gonna go, she's more expensive.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Oh she's not.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Okay. I wonder if she would have been in her heyday,
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: if we actually had iPhones in nineteen eighty one.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Something to think about.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Maybe right island's in the stream her and Kenny Rogers,
• 26:40

  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: To the Hall of Fame class of twenty twenty six.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: I cannot have asked for a better class of men,
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: players and contributors to the great game of football. It
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: is an absolute honor to join this elite fraternity with you,
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: and we are now bonded for life to all the
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Hall of famers. You've inspired generations, You've passed it forward,
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: and we will do the same. It is impossible to
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: properly articulate or encapsulate all the feelings, emotions and appreciation
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: that comes along with a twenty year NFL career in
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: the time that we have, but I will do my
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: best to entertain and enlighten you with the stories, the
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: places and people who shape my mindset, directed my trajectory,
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: and defined my career. We may laugh, we may cry.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: Chance I make it through this without crying is zero.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: But most of all, I hope we leave with a
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: greater love, respect, and reverence for the virtues of this game.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: I've always relished the opportunity to play sports and be
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: a part of the team. I came from a very
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: athletic and competitive family. In fact, this story best sums
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: up how important sports was to our family growing up.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: My uncle Marty Akins, was an All American quarterback at
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: the University of Texas, running the wishbone offense with future
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: Pro Football Hall of Famer Earl Campbell. When Marty was
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: in elementary school, he was called in the principal's office
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: with my grandfather, Ray Aikins, who was a legendary high
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: school football coach in the state of Texas. The principal
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: went on to say that she had some concerns about
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: what young Marty was being taught at home. Apparently in
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: class that day, Marty had been asked to stand up
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: and name the four seasons. Instead of saying summer, winter,
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: and spring, Marty instead said football, basketball, baseball, and track.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: I'd like to thank all of the members of my
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: family for hardwiring this competitive desire and spirit into my
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: system at a very early age. To my father, Chip,
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: thank you that the answer to me whenever I would
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: ask to play catch, to pitch to me, shoot hoops
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: with me, or drop me off of the field was
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: always yes. My mother, Mina Ruth Akins, was the most
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: competitive person I've ever known. She passed away seventeen years
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: ago yesterday. So much of her lives inside of me,
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: and I know how proud she would be of me,
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: but even more so of her grandchildren. My brother Reid,
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: whether you're catching crawfish and shoal creek, riding our bikes
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: at the baseball card shop, or putting dents in our
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: parent It's garage, pitching to each other. You were the
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: best brother I could ever ask for. And my sister, Audrey,
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: I'm so proud of your accomplishments and the woman you've become.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: I don't take for granted that I got to play
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: the most coveted position in all the sports. From as
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: far back as I can remember, I wanted to play quarterback.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: I never saw the position as one of pressure, but
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: rather one of great responsibility. Bill Parcells described it as
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: the steady hand that steers the ship. Marty Schottenheimer would
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: say there is no position on the field whose performance
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: has greater impact on those around him. Bill walshoff and
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: emphasized the great quarterback play is about making the correct
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: decisions repeatedly. The quarterback is the distributor of hope and confidence,
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: a master of probability, the ultimate problem solver. I've always
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: seen the game of football in the quarterback position as
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: a true art form, like a song dance. The key
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: to the r form was controlling the rhythm of the game.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Everything had a rhythm, from the articulation of the play
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: in the huddle, to the pre snap cues and communication,
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: to the cadence and the snap of the ball to
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: your feet dropping back, the timing and flow of your
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: hitch or your gather, to the point three seconds between
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: your front foot hit and the ground that set off
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: a combustion of energy from the ground force all the
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: way from your toes to your fingertips as it translates
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: power to the pronation and the spin of the ball
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: as it releases into the atmosphere. That feeling is what
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: I live for. I wish I could say it we're
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: stress free. Quite the contrary, the amount of headspace this
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: occupied in a given week was all consuming. How can
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: I visualize every eventuality, every possible scenario. What if the
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: defense does this, What if it does that? What if
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: they decide to take this player away? What if they
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: bring that exotic pressure in that crucial situation? Luke Keighley,
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: But I love the chess match. It was a complex
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: puzzle to solve. Each drive represented a section of that puzzle.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: If you failed with one, you could log away that
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: information and come back to it later with a different
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: perspective or a different confidence and to solve. It was
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: euphoric because through the process you saw something take place,
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: You saw a masterpiece come together, with every teammate and
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: position playing an integral role in the final outcome, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: that feeling began in high school to this day. One
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: of the proudest accomplishments in my career was winning a
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Texas five A state championship for west Lake High School
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: in Austin, Texas. Youth sports, and especially high school football,
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: should always be about character and leadership, development, teamwork, and
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: positive affiliation. May we never forget that. Thank you to
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: Ron Schrader and all of our coaches at Westlake who
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: built a program that we all strive to be a
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: part of, one that prioritized discipline, accountability, and camaraderie. Thank
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: you to Karmick Kiara, the mentor and motivator for our
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: entire team as we suffered through summer conditioning at Heartbreak
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: Hill in East Austin on Pernal Street, end of the
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: class in nineteen ninety seven, who led with incredible passion
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: and purpose, becoming the measuring stick for every team that followed.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: But one of the most life changing events occurred my
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: junior year of high school after suffering a major an
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: injury which put my athletic career in jeopardy. My identity
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: was challenged. Up until that point, sports had defined me
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: and I wasn't sure who I was without it. Sitting
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: in church on my seventeenth birthday, Christ came into my
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: heart and changed me forever. I felt protected, connected and
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: directed towards the path that God had for me. He
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: would equip me for the journey which led me to
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: places I never could have expected. Thank you to Pastor
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Shan Mitchell, Miles McPherson, Rob Wilton, and Troy Martin for
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: your Christian mentorship in my life. Purdue University, I still
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: don't know how you got this Texas kid up to
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: West lofeet Indiana, but it was certainly one of the
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: best decisions I ever made, Sorry Boom. I chose Perdue
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: because of its academic reputation and the opportunity to play
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: in the Big Ten Conference. Little did I know I
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: would leave four years later with the one of the
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: most respective degrees in the country, a Big Ten championship,
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: the love of my life, and an opportunity to live
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: out my childhood dream being a professional athlete. It is
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: an absolute honor to join Purdue Grace, Bob Greasy, Lynn Dawson,
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Rod Woodson, and legendary coach Hake Shram as boiler Makers
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Thank you to
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: Tim Pepplopano, wide receiver coach at Perdue and the one
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: who claims to have stood on the table to recruit
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: this six foot hundred and seventy pound kid out of
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: Central Texas. To coaches Jim Cheney and Greg Olsen, thank
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: you for pushing me, for preparing me, for testing me,
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: and always holding me accountable. To our late head coach
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: Joe Tiller, thank you for creating an environment where we
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: always had to prove it. You always had that look
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: in your eye like you knew something we didn't. You
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: knew how hard to push us, and that was well
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: past our perceived limits. We trusted your plan, as you said,
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: a new standard that developed grit, toughness and put a
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: massive chip on our shoulders. We carried that everywhere we went.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: Two of my best friends in the world were part
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: of that class at Purdue, Ben Smith and Jason Larzea.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: Thank you for your friendship, your loyalty, your unwavering support,
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: and being there for me during some of my toughest moments.
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: As great as it was to be your teammates and
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: lifelong friends, what's even better is watching our children grow
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: up together. So many emotions travel through you during the
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: NFL draft process. With one pick, your life and circumstances
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: can change forever. You just hope that you end up
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: in the right place at the right time, with the
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: right team, with the right coach in the right system.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: Thank you to the Spannos family, general manager John Butler
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: and coach NORV Turner, who had everything to do with
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: drafting me to the San Diego Chargers in the second
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: round of the two thousand and one NFL Draft. This
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: was exactly where I was supposed to be, and what
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: made it even sweeter I was joining the guy they
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: drafted in the first round. Hall of famer, one of
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: the greatest running backs in history, Ladanian Thomlinson. How many
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: people know this? LT and I grow two hours from
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: each other. We played on the South Texas All Star
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: team together in nineteen ninety seven. We found our way
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: back together four years later as Heisman Trophy finalists. At
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: the Heisman presentation, we both made a statement wouldn't it
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: be something if we ended up on the same team.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: LT.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: I always felt a strong kinship with you. We had
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: so much in common. Drafted the same year, married the
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: same year, won the Walter Payton Man of the Year
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: the same year. We grew up together quickly in this league.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: I credited so many things in my career of the
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: five years I spent with the Chargers. From the first
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: moment I walked into the facility, there was no question
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: who the leaders were, Junior Seau and Rodney Harrison.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: We're listening to the Drew Brees speech over the weekend,
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: can't Ohio, and it was a great speech, unbelievable weekend.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: We're going to continue on with it. You know, you
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: forget the imp we're so sad, ain't driven, but you
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: forget the impact that the Chargers had on him and
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: that he won a high school state championship, a Big
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Ten championship at Purdue. Who's the worst or second worst
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: football program in the Big Ten. I guess they're the
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: worst now because Indiana comes out of nowhere and wins
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: the national championship last year. Right, I'm not sure what
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: the new Purdue ad was doing last week when he
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: referenced Indiana and not winning championships. Maybe no one had
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: told him that Indiana is they are the national champs
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: going in to this season. But I thought the breeze
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: speech was great. Our Hall of Fame coverage is brought
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: to you by Rix Pro Truck, RPT lift kits, bedliners,
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: tires and wheels. Ris Pro Truck three locations across the
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Jackson Metro. Build your truck to actually work as hard

• 39:07
  Speaker 4: This is brite and your best leaders.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: And that standard was clear with June Bug and hot Rod.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: Another one of the great influences early in my career
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: was Doug Flutie. Doug, you were ahead of your time.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: I saw you throwing back shoulder throws, no whateck passes
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: and manipulating arm angles long before it became a revolutionary thing.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: I modeled so much of my game after you, and
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure if there was anyone more competitive. Thank
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: you for being supportive of me throughout my entire career. Well,
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: Lorenzo O'Neil, one of the greatest fullbacks ever played the game.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: They don't make him like you anymore. Low lo'neil used
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: to call me Peb as a young player was PBPB.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: One day Loneil said, you know why I call you
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Peb man? It means pro bowler, because that's who you are.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: But you gotta believe it. Low. You just don't know
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: how much that meant to me at the time. I
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: love you, Peb. Antonio Gates one of the greatest tight
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: ends to ever played the game. I just wish we
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: had more time together. Marty Schoenheim are one of the
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: greatest coaches and motivators to ever coach this game, and
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: who belongs here in Canton. Marty was my biggest fan.
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: He would tell me that all the time, even as
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: he benched me three times. It made me fight for
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: my job every year with two greats, Doug Flutie and
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: Philip Rivers. The first two times I got finished, I
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: deserved it. The third time I still don't think I
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: deserved it coach, but nonetheless, it lit more than a fire.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: It forced me to access a place in my mind
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: and my heart that I had not yet been. The
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: adversity was not expected, but very necessary. I would never
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: had reached the heights I did without it. I knew
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: I needed to play better, but more importantly, I knew
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: that he believed I would play better. Thank you to
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: coach Cam Cameron and Brian Schottenheimer, offensive coordinator and quarterback
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: coach for the Chargers. I never forget a film session
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: in two thousand and three. I was coming off a
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: tough game and as we watched the tape together, they
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: asked me the question, Hey, why didn't you throw to
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: this receiver He was wide open, to which my response
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: was I couldn't see him. The tape paused, there was
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: a moment of silence. They glared at me and said,
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: it's your job to see you reach a point in
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: your career when you stop making excuses. It's usually a
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: moment or an event where you flip a switch or
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: make a very conscious decision and it becomes part of
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: your being. They were right, and never again would those
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: words or thoughts come out of my mouth. I would
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: need to find a way to play the game a
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: little bit different, even if it was in a way
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: that had not been done before. It would shape me
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: for what came next New Orleans. When we bought our
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: home in the hard uptown New Orleans, Britney and I
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: could not have been more excited and scared to embark
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: on this new journey and chapter in our lives. As
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: we were moving in, containers of housewarming gifts began to
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: show up at the front door. As I opened the
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: lid to the first container, expecting to see brownies or
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: perhaps chocolate chip cookies, it was rather the smell of
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: butter and onions and Cajun seasoning and a dark crew
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: that made up crawfish at tufe. The next day it
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: was jumbalaya. The next day was gumbo. And we're not
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: talking a small container. We're talking a big vat of
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: the best home cooked Louisiana flavors you could imagine. Welcome
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: to New Orleans, but nothing compares to what we experienced
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: every Monday night during my career in New Orleans for
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: fifteen years straight. And this is no exaggeration. Our neighbors
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: Steve and Kathy Price would make our family red beans
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: and rice and cornbread. Whether it was her house, our house,
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: or with great friends like Trombone Shorty, it was what
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: we all looked forward to together
