15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,040

00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do defensively, you know, defense wins championships. And

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: I know Mark vabral is gonna have his team ready

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: to go. It's gonna be the Belichick way. And I

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: think he's adopted the Belichick way.

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that.

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: Translates into why his team is actually in the.

23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: Super Bowl this year. Yeah.

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, they definitely bought into his system. R exactly So

25
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 4: when I was watching you, San Francisco was your biggest rapper.

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: So what's it like being out here in San Francisco

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: for this Super Bowl? And just like how many battles

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 4: like do you go back and think about? Because I

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 4: drove back Old Candlestick where it used to be at,

30
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 4: and I'm just like, dang, man, I missed that place

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 4: because it was some great games I watched there growing up.

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: I got to play there a couple of times out

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 3: of compla.

34
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: It's just like, man, it's it's just nostalgia whenever you

35
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 4: get to go to these places and be around these

36
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 4: people that you got to compete against, and it's personally

37
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: like you is specifically I got to know because I

38
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 4: hated you growing up.

39
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: And that's why I love couple of cities where you win,

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: You go to cities where you want it's like, yeah,

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: we want to you know what I'm saying. But but

42
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: you know, when you see guys like jer Wright, So

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: you have so much respect for Steve Young and other

44
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: or other forty nine ers, I have tremendous respect for

45
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: them because you know they paid the price to be

46
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: champions as well.

47
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you had to go through that that kind.

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: Of gauntlet in order to earn your right to be

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: sitting at the same table and eating the same meal.

50
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: And so when when you do that, you come back

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 2: to a city, it's like, I'm back home because this

52
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: is the city that opened up the gate for me

53
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: to go to the super Bowl in La and uh

54
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: and in Dallas, we open up the gate for us

55
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: to go to the super Bowl down in Atlanta.

56
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: And then in Dallas the super Bowl to come to

57
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: h Arizona.

58
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: So when you look at it from that perspective, it's like, yeah,

59
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: everywhere you're gone, you've lost battles, but you won battles. Yeah,

60
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: and you appreciate the whole process of getting there. And

61
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: that's what I remember the most. I mean, every city,

62
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: I can walk around and hold my head high because

63
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: I did my thing, Michael did his thing. And as

64
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: long as you earn the respect of the city and

65
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: the city treat you with that same level of respect,

66
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: you feel good.

67
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,440

Speaker 4: my own room. So you know you need skin a Max.

108
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: I was not going there. I'm trying to be professional.

109
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 4: I'm here, I'm trying to be professonal. I heard, dammit,

110
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: why did you wear number twenty two? You know I

111
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 4: tell people all the time, I did not choose twenty two.

112
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 4: Twenty two chose me, okay, And here's how it went about.

113
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: I'm a freshman going into the University of Florida. I

114
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 4: wore twenty four in high school, and so when I

115
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: get there, but Fernandez, who was our equipment manager, asked

116
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: me he said, man, so what number you want to wear?

117
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: I said, I wanted to wear twenty four. He said,

118
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, an upper class has that number already. He said, here,

119
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: I want to give you twenty two because you remind

120
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 2: me of John A. O.

121
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 3: Williams, Johnny L. Williams, who played with the Seahawks.

122
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: Yes, so he gave me twenty two, and I've been

123
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: twenty two ever since.

124
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: Wow, So it was given to it really chose he

125
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: was actually given to me.

126
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: And so that's why I say I've never chose twenty two,

127
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: and it chose me because I was choosing twenty four.

128
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it worked out.

129
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: I mean eighteen threeixenty five added up as equals to

130
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: twenty two.

131
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: We've been doing some research what you come up with

132
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: back in college.

133
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: On the scouting report, the team scouting report page, it

134
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: says that you squatted eight hundred and fifty pounds.

135
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: I don't even dry that far. First and fourth horse.

136
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: I don't ever remember putting six hundred pounds on the

137
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: let alone squad.

138
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: Eight hundred all right, Thomas, he didn't do it. It's

139
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: not real. I don't know who put that. Somebody embellished

140
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 3: my record. Hey, that's a dude inbellished. We'll copy the link,

141
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: send it over to you, copy link, sit it over there.

142
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: I don't remember doing it.

143
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: This possibly could have happened because I squatted over five

144
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: hundred and when as a true freshman.

145
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: In high school. Oh, I did it in college, not

146
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: high school.

147
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: I did it in high school. And the more weight

148
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: you put on, the more press you fell on your knees.

149
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: And I didn't like that feeling. So it's possible I

150
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: may have tried to do eight hundred one time.

151
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this, being that you have

152
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: so many rushing yards, how do your knees feel?

153
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: The feel good? My niece feel fine.

154
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 2: Have a little challenge on my left hip because of

155
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: probably rotating golf and walking and riding my bike. I

156
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: was riding my I think I was riding my bike

157
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: on my outside of my heels, my legs, my feet,

158
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: and I think that triggers some things within my uh

Speaker 3: Victor Cruz. We are here with Discovered Puerto Rico.

187
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 5: Letting people know that Puerto Rico is not just a

188
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 5: little island that is a US territory, is a cultural experience.

189
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 5: It's a place to go where I still have family,

190
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 5: where I still go once a year and and try

191
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 5: to chill and bask and get the energy.

192
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: I need to go to Puerto Rico to get the energy.

193
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 5: And it's just a cultural experience unlike any other in

194
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: the world in my experience. And uh and I think

195
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 5: Bad Bunny is going to show.

196
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: That I have time.

197
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: This Sunday, I went to what's the downtown of San Juan.

198
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: I went to Old San Juan Nice twice time.

199
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: Every time Victor comes on, he's always telling us about

200
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: the fan of the year.

201
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: Now it's Puerto Rico doing this thing. What I want

202
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: to know is what are your thoughts on the Giants

203
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: heart John Harbaugh.

204
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 5: I was immediately excited about the opportunity for him to

205
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 5: coach that football team. I think we needed a coach.

206
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 5: Not to give shade to any of the previous coaches,

207
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 5: because I think they were great. Yeah, some of them

208
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 5: not so great, but a lot of them were. I

209
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 5: love day Ball. I think he was a great coach

210
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 5: for us. But I think hardball brings an immediate culture shift,

211
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 5: a guy that is proven, a guy that is a

212
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 5: winner and known winner, and I think it's great for

213
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 5: Jackson Dar's development. I think he's been around defenses that

214
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: know how to get after the quarterback, and he'll provide

215
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 5: a level of leadership in that locker room, both with

216
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: the players as well as with his staff to turn

217
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 5: to get us around that, around that, over that humping

218
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 5: around that corner, which I feel like we're right there, man,

219
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 5: our defense is lights out. I think we got to

220
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 5: show up our secondary, Caleb Downs if anybody wants to

221
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 5: draft him in the first round.

222
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: We got a couple of picks. What pick are y'all at?

223
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 3: I think we're five. Okay, somebody high for safety, but

224
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 3: like I'm at, it's going to be the first necessity.

225
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: It's about me, right, and we need okay, little general manager. Yeah,

226
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: we need a little somebody as secondary because we couldn't.

227
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: We were a wet paper bag back. They were terrible. Yeah,

228
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: it wasn't good.

229
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: You're forever like a New York Giant, Like, how special

230
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 4: is that? Because the more I been around the NFL

231
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 4: and we get in these rooms and things like you

232
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 4: learn like certain teams carry themselves just a little bit different,

233
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: Like when you're a Raider, like you are forever a raider,

234
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: Like they look at you differently when you're with the Cowboys,

235
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 4: it's different. The Giants is another storied organization with like,

236
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: has so much tradition, and you're looked at as a

237
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 4: giant from the way you burst in on the scene

238
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: to who you are now you're still in the city,

239
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 4: You're still doing all those things. What's that feeling like

240
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: for somebody like me that was that a much much

241
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: smaller market New York.

242
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 5: Tell me that it's incredible. And I think my experience

243
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 5: is so different because I'm from there. I was born

244
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 5: and raised there. I understood what the Giants' lore was

245
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 5: all about growing up. I understood the rivalries and like.

246
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 5: But the Giants always stood as a high class organization

247
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 5: with high character guys that like knew how to speak

248
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 5: to the media, knew how to carry themselves. So when

249
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 5: I was injected into that atmosphere, I was like, oh,

250
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 5: I understood what was being asked of me, even without

251
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 5: them having to tell me directly, because I was in it.

252
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: So that was always a great thing.

253
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 5: And then just being, you know, in the conversation with

254
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 5: the guys, to be a giant forever, it's just a

255
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 5: beautiful thing. You walk around New York City, you feel

256
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 5: the love, you feel the energy. It's just a different

257
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 5: thing when you're just a giant and you're recognized as

258
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 5: one of those guys that been a part of that

259
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 5: team and been a leader, and being one of those

260
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 5: guys that brought a Super Bowl to the city. It's

261
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 5: just it's a tremendous and a beautiful thing. And I'm

262
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 5: happy to be part of such an organization.

263
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 3: I got something for you, your quarterback, Eli. Yeah. Can

264
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: you make a case for him to be in the

265
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame? Yeah? Man, I feel like I've been

266
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 3: making a case for years now.

267
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 5: I mean, the guy when it shows up, when it's

268
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 5: time for him to show up in the biggest moments,

269
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 5: in the biggest games, whether regular season, playoff or the

270
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 5: Super Bowls, he shows up. And when you go to

271
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 5: two of them, and when you beat and on the

272
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 5: other side of that field is the best guy to

273
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 5: ever play the game. And Tom Brady and you beat

274
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 5: him twice and one time they were undefeated, and you

275
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 5: and you crush that dream for them. I mean, what

276
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 5: else does the guy have to do. He's been one

277
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 5: of the most consistent quarterbacks, one of the most durable

278
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 5: quarterbacks that we've seen, and I just don't understand what

279
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 5: else he needs to do. And then furthermore, you look

280
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 5: at you know, Belichick not getting in in the first ballot,

281
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 5: Robert kravenagain, then it's like.

282
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: Okay, who's voting for this? Something's off here because if

283
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: they're not first ballot guys, then Obiden, then who is?

284
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 4: Well once I told him, I just told a boy

285
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 4: like the moment Terrell Owens wasn't first ballot because I'm like,

286
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: at that point, anybody they can hold anything. Anybody I

287
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: don't know. I ain't got to vote, so I ain't

288
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: in it. And Eli eventually will get in, so it's

289
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: gonna be really cool. They just hate them because of

290
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 4: his five hundred get in. But it's I want to

291
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 4: know this, all right, I want to how in the

292
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: world did you get you were doing a public service award.

293
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: With Commissioner Roger Goodell? Yes, how did you get him

294
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: to do that? Saucer? I mean, like, how did you

295
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: was to do this? That was about I want to

296
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: say a little over a month ago. Now it was

297
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: in New York.

298
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 5: It was a bunch of different brands were there, and

299
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 5: how was this still the sausa. I ain't gonna use

300
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 5: some work. Okay, you could use a little bit of work,

301
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 5: but the fact that first of all, he wanted to

302
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 5: do it. We were behind the scenes and he was like,

303
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: are we gonna dance?

304
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: And I was like, are you I can dance all day.

305
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 3: Are you gonna do it with me? Are you?

306
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 5: And he was like, yeah, let's do it. It's where

307
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 5: great cars. We're there for the people, and and he

308
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 5: was excited to do it.

309
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: Man. So I was excited.

310
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 5: And what I loved about it too is we had,

311
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 5: like I remember, preparing for it, or we had a

312
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 5: call beforehand on how we wanted to go through the script,

313
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 5: and he literally balled the script up, was like, throw

314
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 5: this away.

315
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: Let's just go up there and vibe.

316
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 5: Unless you have your talking points, you know how to talk,

317
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 5: you know how to speak your points, to speak your messages.

318
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: I know how to speak my messages.

319
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 5: We could bounce off of each other, and I think

320
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 5: that chemistry up there while we were giving the award

321
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 5: was really special and you could see it translated very

322
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 5: well for the people that were in the room.

323
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: NCC guy does all this college stuff. Big twelve guy. Ye,

324
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: how has that space been on tn T Right, it's

325
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: been great. Yep doing the tn T. Got some really

326
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: good guys on that desk.

327
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 5: Yes, my man, Tequio Spikes, Champ Bailey, Adam Lefko's hosting

328
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 5: us and driving the ship for us.

329
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: Man.

330
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 5: I think it's just, uh, it's been incredible to get

331
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 5: that deeply entrenched into college football and to see it

332
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 5: from that level, and then to get to know some

333
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 5: of the players. We obviously interview players after the game

334
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 5: and get them to do the salsa every time. It's

335
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 5: kind of part of our our post game ritual kind

336
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 5: of thing. And it's been interesting to see like how

337
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 5: NILS play a part the coaching carousel, you know, these

338
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 5: quarterbacks and how they manage their teams and how they're

339
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 5: going from team and team, and how the NIL is

340
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 5: affecting these football teams and these rosters. Seeing how the

341
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 5: college football playoffs shapes out each and every year. It's

342
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 5: been interesting to see it. I'm happy to be part

343
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 5: of it, and we're it looks like we're going to

344
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 5: be doing more and more as the years go on.

345
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 4: It looks so interesting because you went to a very

346
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 4: small school, so now you get to see like college

347
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 4: football on the power force, power forward level.

348
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: Correct.

349
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: And then also having Texas Tech, who to me has

350
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 4: been the most interesting school in university throughout this NIL

351
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 4: phase because of the way that they've spent their money.

352
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: It's been so intriguing.

353
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 4: Could you tell me like that experience of what you've

354
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: picked up on from not only Texas Tech, but you

355
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 4: now covering big time college football and doing things that

356
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 4: you didn't actually get to do personally yourself.

357
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's been interesting, especially because we're seeing a

358
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 5: shift in college football right now. It's not just the

359
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 5: LSUS and the Bamas and those teams dominating the national

360
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 5: championship conversation. You got a team like Indiana who comes

361
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 5: out obviously Mark Cuban. There's a lot of finances going

362
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 5: into that organization as well. Texas Tech two got a

363
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 5: big influx of cash coming into this year, which made

364
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 5: them able to go spend an il money on a

365
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 5: lot of this talent and it's paying off. And I

366
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 5: know a lot of schools are seeing that and being like, Okay,

367
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 5: let's hit our donorship group up and see if we

368
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 5: can buy us an opportunity to make it to the

369
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 5: College Football Playoff and put my team in contention and

370
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 5: in the conversation. So it's been interesting to see how

371
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 5: the finances are being spent, how a team like Texas

372
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 5: Tech can compete and not just compete in the Big Twelve,

373
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 5: but like they had national recognition and deservedly so that

374
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 5: defense was top ten in the nation in my opinion

375
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 5: or not in my opinion, those are facts, and they

376
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 5: deserve to be in the conversation and deserve to be

377
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 5: playing against a team like Oregon to compete for the

378
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 5: national championship. So it's been interesting. I'm happy to be like,

379
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 5: we're right at the cutting edge of it. Man, it's happening,

380
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 5: and as we speak, there's different things taking place. So

381
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 5: I'm excited to be part of the of the narrative.

382
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: Man.

383
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: We appreciate you coming on the pod, appreciate you blessing

Speaker 1: We open in March twentieth in New Jersey. Finally got

386
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: a release date on that. It's happening and we're looking

387
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: to expand all throughout New Jersey and hopefully all throughout America.

388
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: So we'll start in Jersey, starting my hometown, and then

389
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: we'll spread from there, because that's what the love is.

390
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 5: We're gonna start in Love and Pattison, and then we're

391
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 5: gonna spread it out through the world.

392
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: Well, good luck to you and your entrepreneur and your

393
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,120
