Speaker 2: former players. I love seeing Roder Craig going to the Hall. Honestly,
1:26
Speaker 2: I love seeing that.
1:27
Speaker 1: Ye look, I had to look him up because it
1:30
Speaker 1: was just yeah, it's just out of my perimeter.
1:32
Speaker 2: Man. He was awesome, awesome player, awesome, just versatile player.
1:35
Speaker 2: You know, he's like he was like a Christ McCaffrey.
1:37
Speaker 2: You know, he could he could catch it out the backfield.
1:39
Speaker 2: I like him. Yeah, you can hand it off to him.
1:42
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, just versatile. And he was right
1:45
Speaker 2: in the middle of all that Niners dynasty. And there's
1:48
Speaker 2: so many great players on that team. It's hard to
1:50
Speaker 2: it's hard to put them all in the Hall. But
1:51
Speaker 2: he's very deserving. I love seeing that.
1:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta be excited. I mean, I was just excited
1:56
Speaker 1: for Drew Brees. I was just too excited for.
2:00
Speaker 2: He finished to first.
2:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I mean you know said get the hundreds.
2:06
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things. It was like he was like,
2:10
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we should have levels to the Hall
2:13
Speaker 1: of Fame whatever, Like my goal should be different, you know,
2:16
Speaker 1: like there is there is the first ballot of conversation going.
2:19
Speaker 2: He knows, he knows he would be in that very
2:21
Speaker 2: very elite class.
2:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, you Hill, Drew, Peyton Manning, you know guys
2:27
Speaker 1: that you know are consistent first ballot Hall of famers. Well,
2:30
Speaker 1: in my mind, is there for running backs? Is there
2:33
Speaker 1: like a stat that means you're Hall of Fame worthy?
2:35
Speaker 1: Of course you'd have you know, ten thousand yards or
2:37
Speaker 1: whatever that is. But what what tells you hall of
2:39
Speaker 1: Fame worthy running back?
2:41
Speaker 3: Well?
2:41
Speaker 2: I think you know, you always have the eye test, right.
2:46
Speaker 1: Was his thousand yards of real tis?
2:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was, you know, the eye test.
2:50
Speaker 2: And I think and I think sort of consistency.
2:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and and because it is in terms
2:56
Speaker 1: of production over the Spanish person, Yeah, production over the
2:59
Speaker 1: span of your career, you know, and obviously you know,
3:02
Speaker 1: yards and number of yards and yards per carry, but
3:06
Speaker 1: I think production eye test, you know, and in the
3:11
Speaker 1: number of yards that you end up with when your
3:13
Speaker 1: peers know you were when.
3:14
Speaker 2: The guys you played against. Yeah, understand that.
3:17
Speaker 1: It's not the it's not the whole pro it's not
3:18
Speaker 1: the like Pro Bowl fan vote, all Pro writers, right,
3:21
Speaker 1: but your your peers, no, especially you know, Miles geargets
3:26
Speaker 1: tweety three sacks in the season. Guess what, He's the
3:28
Speaker 1: greatest greatest pass rusher of all times until somebody breaks
3:31
Speaker 1: breaks his record. You know, Barry.
3:34
Speaker 2: Sanders is the greatest of all time.
3:37
Speaker 1: I mean that you're gonna put him at do you

3:46
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say he's better than Miles. But I'm
3:48
Speaker 2: just gonna say I'm just I just wanted to mention
3:51
Speaker 2: I played against Reggie whe Absolutely, I'll leave it at
3:53
Speaker 2: that automatically.
3:55

4:01
Speaker 1: there's guys like l T. Of course l T, right,
4:05
Speaker 1: but there's there's argument to be had.
4:06
Speaker 2: But that's just the greatest part about it is something different.
4:09
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, and you need to talk about LT.
4:12
Speaker 2: We talked about that for another few hours, that.
4:15
Speaker 1: Conversation like LT, I'm actually a half sack behind LT.
4:18
Speaker 1: But it'll continue. You know, we love to have those
4:22
Speaker 1: type of conversations when you're when you're amongst the stars,
4:25

4:49
Speaker 1: me seven year seven.
4:52
Speaker 2: I look forward to seeing you in Canton. Man.
4:53
Speaker 1: All right, that's that's hYP can What would you can consider?
4:58
Speaker 3: Uh?
4:58
Speaker 1: The NFL? You know your time, it was sixteen games
5:01
Speaker 1: in my beginning of my career, sixteen games. We expanded
5:04
Speaker 1: seventeen games. We all know we're going to eighteen games.
5:07
Speaker 1: Does how does that affect you. You like, we all know
5:08
Speaker 1: it is gonna happen, you know it. Eventually we're gonna
5:11
Speaker 1: have like a twenty week, twenty twenty game schedule and
5:14
Speaker 1: it's gonna be O D like And I'm gonna look
5:16
Speaker 1: around like, I don't know how these guys I'm making
5:18
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. I'm gonna have to think about it. If
5:21
Speaker 1: I'm do, I want to be a part of it.
5:23
Speaker 1: Seventeen is a task.
5:25
Speaker 2: It is it is, you know, And that that looks
5:29
Speaker 2: like we're is headed. I know, I know seventeen. It's
5:31
Speaker 2: been seventeen for what two or three years now, like three,
5:34
Speaker 2: three or four years? Yeah, you know, And and hey,
5:38
Speaker 2: I'm sure your current players and current owners, you guys will.
5:43
Speaker 2: I'm sure you guys will work it out. We gotta
5:45
Speaker 2: fight that, but you got to work it out.
5:47
Speaker 1: And figure every time every time we say hey, no,
5:49
Speaker 1: we're not gonna stand for this, more money gets thrown
5:51
Speaker 1: at it, and everybody wants to bigger. User comes down
5:53
Speaker 1: to it, Yes, the Pikas getting bigger and the Slights
5:56
Speaker 1: keep getting bigger consequently.
5:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, also because you know, you got the games off
6:01
Speaker 2: shore right in Europe and South America, everybody, more exposure, everyone,
6:05
Speaker 2: and everyone loves the product. I think that's that's the
6:08
Speaker 2: bottom line, right, everyone loves the product. They want they
6:10
Speaker 2: want more of it, you know, and so as long
6:14
Speaker 2: as they do right by, the players can go for it.
6:16
Speaker 1: I guess eighteen, you know, look at seventeen you feel
6:21
Speaker 1: every hit.
6:22
Speaker 2: I'm sure you do.
6:24
Speaker 1: There's years where were like, man, I wish we just
6:25
Speaker 1: had you, I could play two three more games. And
6:27
Speaker 1: there's also years you're like, brother, this year, it's week fourteen,
6:30
Speaker 1: I'm on one foot trying to get to the finish
6:33
Speaker 1: line so I can get this this hopefully this is
6:35
Speaker 1: by week secure the number seed and then be ready
6:36
Speaker 1: for this playoff push. But you know, just that's that's
6:39
Speaker 1: where every every season it could be changed. Could you
6:42
Speaker 1: imagine yourself playing sixteen, sixteen season in the league?
6:45
Speaker 2: Sixteen seasons sixteen, well, I played team.
6:49
Speaker 1: If I play, I played next year sixteen.
6:54
Speaker 2: You played. It's a nice thought, you know, phenomenaln't I
6:57
Speaker 2: don't know, Yeah, I don't. I don't know how you
6:58
Speaker 2: managed it, especially in the position that you played, right,
7:02
Speaker 2: you know, so you got to be cut out of
7:04
Speaker 2: the different cloth.
7:05
Speaker 3: Man.
7:05
Speaker 2: That's all I can say. I mean, you do that.
7:08
Speaker 2: It's cool because you know you be playing at a
7:10
Speaker 2: high level, you know, and uh, one of the best
7:14
Speaker 2: picks you ten, you go.
7:16
Speaker 1: For twelvendred yards. You think about you're eleven?
7:19
Speaker 2: Right, you do? You know? In the years, it goes fast, man,
7:22
Speaker 2: it goes fast. It goes fast.
7:24
Speaker 1: This is what I've never liked. I've never agreed with.
7:26
Speaker 1: It goes fast. The memories to make it feel like
7:28
Speaker 1: it goes fast. But he's one of those seasons. I
7:30
Speaker 1: remember those those shoulder injury or the knee injury or
7:34
Speaker 1: the ankle injury, or you know, having my first kid,
7:36
Speaker 1: and I remember, like bro, I wanted like I had
7:39
Speaker 1: my my daughter, my four child, my daughter in December,
7:42
Speaker 1: and I was so happy. We were headed towards the
7:43
Speaker 1: end of season. I said, because like, you know, wife,
7:46
Speaker 1: he needs help or whatever it is. My brother, I'm burning,
7:49
Speaker 1: I'm burning bud Bridges here, I'm.
7:51
Speaker 2: Gabing because it's been twenty five years since I played.
7:54
Speaker 1: That's why you remember you remember ice cream not here? Right?
7:56
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah?
7:57
Speaker 3: Yeah?
7:57
Speaker 2: Maybe the good parts, yeah, the good part, great parts. Yeah.
8:00
Speaker 2: So maybe that's why I say it goes class. But
8:02
Speaker 2: you're right in the middle of it. You know you're sixteen,
8:05
Speaker 2: You got five or ten more left in you? You
8:07
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
8:09
Speaker 1: I look at guys like Calais Campbell, who's there, Like
8:11
Speaker 1: year if I finish up year nineteen, and I'm like, brother,
8:16
Speaker 1: what then, good God grace has got you here.
8:18
Speaker 2: I mean, you can do at least what Aaron Rodgers
8:20
Speaker 2: has done right twenty you can do twenty years.
8:22
Speaker 1: I will not be forty playing football.
8:25
Speaker 2: I will not.
8:25
Speaker 1: There's not a shot that even if I quit today,
8:27
Speaker 1: I will never fillip rivers this thing five years from now.
8:29
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I got one more in me? No,
8:32
Speaker 1: I do not. I give everything I got now because
8:34
Speaker 1: I could walk I could have walked away a year
8:36
Speaker 1: ten as you did and been completely blessed like that
8:39
Speaker 1: is a phenomenal career. I've done. I've done everything I
8:42
Speaker 1: could other than win a Super Bowl, like I give.
8:45
Speaker 1: I give everything I can in practice, so I can
8:47
Speaker 1: know I've given everything I can in games and heart.
8:51
Speaker 1: Year fifteen, I'm like, if there's another year, if there's
8:53
Speaker 1: another two years, in another three years, Hallelujah'm gonna work
8:56
Speaker 1: for each and every one of them. And and if
8:58
Speaker 1: I never played football again, hallelujah work for eaching what
9:00
Speaker 1: every one of those and my kids got to see
9:02
Speaker 1: me play, you know, my wife got to do the
9:05
Speaker 1: little fat heads with my with my name and likeness
9:08
Speaker 1: all up in the stadiums and everywhere.
9:10
Speaker 2: My kid is understand, you know what I'm saying.
9:12
Speaker 1: But right, it'll be different once you change. That's that
9:15
Speaker 1: part to it.
9:16
Speaker 2: Right.
9:17
Speaker 1: What is the greatest advice you can give from for
9:18
Speaker 1: transitioning from the game.
9:21
Speaker 2: Well, I think, I mean, you don't always know when
9:26
Speaker 2: you are trying to you know, when you move it
9:28
Speaker 2: on from the game, absolutely, and so you you certainly
9:31
Speaker 2: have to take advantage of it. I think it's great
9:34
Speaker 2: to do what you're doing and that you're you know,
9:37
Speaker 2: you're looking to maybe what's next and setting yourself up
9:41
Speaker 2: for what's next. You should always be uh thinking about
9:44
Speaker 2: that because it's just that kind of a business, right
9:48
Speaker 2: you know. And so it's you know, use it as
9:50
Speaker 2: a as a platform, you know. That's why I'm great
9:54
Speaker 2: to be here after a year twenty five. You know,
9:56
Speaker 2: obviously this year I'm here working on behalf of Amagine.
10:00
Speaker 2: I'm right, I'm working on behalf of an engine, and
10:03
Speaker 2: we're just trying to raise awareness for heart health there,
10:07
Speaker 2: you know, raise awareness for heart the cardiovascular What do
10:11
Speaker 2: we put Well, I had, I had, I had a
10:12
Speaker 2: little heart incident in the summer of twenty twenty four,
10:16
Speaker 2: right and so and so I'm learning you know, a
10:20
Speaker 2: lot about just heart disease and and uh, heart disease
10:23
Speaker 2: and stroke and how it impacts far too many people
10:27
Speaker 2: and so much of it. You know, we can we
10:30
Speaker 2: can lower those risk factors, right, and so talk to
10:34
Speaker 2: your doctor about high cholesterol or l d LC and
10:40
Speaker 2: and because the only way to find out is to
10:42
Speaker 2: talk to your doctor, you know. You know, it could
10:44
Speaker 2: be something where you're young and healthy and have a
10:47
Speaker 2: hereditary issue, right and so, so go to Attack Heart

Speaker 2: know about test strategies and and and that sort of
10:59
Speaker 2: thing and how to lower your risk, you know. But
11:02
Speaker 2: but yeah, So it's cool to be able to just
11:06
Speaker 2: do stuff like that because of the platform I had
11:08
Speaker 2: playing football, you know, And absolutely, and it's great to
11:13
Speaker 2: see a lot of guys using their platform for that reason,
11:16
Speaker 2: you know. So but yeah, but I'm feeling good and
11:20
Speaker 2: it's great just being able to get the message out
11:21
