I know I'm toast, that's dead, that's my body 26 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: is not in shape to go across that middle, and 27 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: I still think about it now to this day, where 28 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: I'd be like, yo, like I was a little nuts, 29 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: Like I was a little half crazy to go out 30 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: there knowing what I was about to put my body 31 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: through week in and week out, and I was out 32 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: there willingly doing it. But it was because of like 33 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: the euphoria of succeeding right and like making those touchdowns 34 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: and having that moment, like those are the moments that 35 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: I kept striving for. And obviously getting paid and taking 36 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: care of the family absolutely helps. 37 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 4: To go across the middle. Yeah, I was a lot 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 4: that everyone eats exactly. 39 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: But how's how's life post playing football? How how has 40 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: an adjustment been? Feed Life's been pretty good, evening analyst work. 41 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: I've been doing some analysts work. I've been doing a 42 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: lot of entrepreneurial work. I ain't gonna lie though. 43 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: When I first retired, it was tough because it's, like, 44 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: you know, football is my identity. I didn't know, you know, 45 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: I had done a lot of things while I was 46 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: playing to kind of prepare myself. I did some TV things. 47 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: I hosted a couple of things on MTV, and like 48 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: I was just doing things in that space so I 49 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: could prepare myself for what comes after. But that was 50 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: all just while I was playing. I was fun until 51 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: this shit actually happens and you're like, oh, the curtains clothes. Like, 52 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: I got to figure something out. So I did the 53 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: analyst work. But I always knew that I wanted to 54 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: do more things. I always wanted to host things, host 55 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: different opportunities. I still work with the Giants a bunch. 56 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: I got my own show on there called Players Lounge, 57 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: where I'll just chop it up with the players about 58 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: things outside the game, entrepreneurial things. I'm bringing a crystals 59 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: chicken to Patterson, New Jersey for the first time, so like, 60 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: I'm doing different things. So it's been it's been really 61 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: been traveling the world just doing different things. I picked 62 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: up golf, which is like the retiring thing to do, and. 63 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: Shit, humbling sport, Yeah, extreme, very humbling because you, as 64 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: as one of the football players, y'all are probably the 65 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: apex of athletes. So for somebody that played at the 66 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: level you played at transitioning into golf, how much is 67 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 2: that humble you? When you feel like I'm cruise, I'm shake, 68 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: I can do anything. 69 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: It's the most I don't give a fuck who you are. 70 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: I don't care. 71 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: They'll take them to the linebacker. 72 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: I prefer I'm more comfortable. But I got a helmet 73 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: all like, if something happens, I could kind of hide there. 74 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: Nah golf, you hit a bad shot or you shank 75 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: wing into and I and I wanted to put myself 76 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: in the uncomfortable positions first, so I played in programs 77 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: out the gate first. While playing. I'm in year four now, 78 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: so I'm a little bit better, a lot better than 79 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: I was than that actually, But year one I wanted 80 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: to get that bug out because I knew I was 81 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: going to be out. I knew I wanted to, you know, 82 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: show my personality on the golf course so that I 83 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: could drive other types of business. And that first year 84 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: playing in front of people, topping the golf ball, shame, 85 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: get one to the right. 86 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: Telling people the duck. It's different, it's. 87 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: Mumbling, but the But what I love about the sport 88 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: is that everyone was there, even the pros, even the 89 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: Roy McElroy's, and all of those guys were you once, okay, 90 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: and so there's never like you know, basketball, you dribble 91 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: off you like a you stink like get over there. 92 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: Don't play with us. When you shank one and golf 93 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: people come up to you, it was like, yo, here's 94 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: how you do it. You have your hands here kind 95 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: of figure. It's a more coachable sport because they're looking 96 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: at you, like I was there once, and I would 97 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: want someone to tell me, you know what I'm about 98 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: to tell you because I was once. 99 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 3: Year. Was that always the plan in retirement picking up 100 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 3: golf sport? 101 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely not. I think golf came later on. I 102 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: had a homeboy who was like, yo, you need to golf, 103 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: Like even while I was playing for years, he was like, 104 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: you need to do this. You need to pick it up, 105 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: I promise you. And I was just like that shit's corny. 106 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: I ain't playing that. I'm not getting up at five am, 107 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: six am to go to somebody's golf course because I 108 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: didn't understand it. And then once I retire, and then 109 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: my daughter also play. So she picked it up when 110 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: she was six, and at first it was just some 111 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: ship she did with the nanny that I was just like, 112 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: just go whatever makes her tired at eight o'clock, So 113 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: after school she would go, and then she kept going, 114 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: and she kept going and now she's nine, and we 115 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: got her like a real coach. And then it was 116 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: around like nine where I was like, let me go 117 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: see where my money's going. And she went. I went 118 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: to a practice. We got there a little early. She's 119 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: like that I want to warm up a little bit. 120 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, bet. She grabbed her putter, 121 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: took three golf balls, dropped them on the pudding green, 122 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: took her time, putted three and it was like quiet. 123 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: And my daughter is like very high energy, always talking, 124 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: super smart, but always got a and she was quiet. 125 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is just work that gets 126 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: you to shut the fuck. 127 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 3: Up and just lock that. Let's do that. 128 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: I'm doing this with you. And then COVID hit. So 129 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: right when COVID hit, I got in because golf was 130 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: pretty much the only thing you could do that was like, 131 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: you know, outdoors and you're not You're not close to 132 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: anybody really. So I picked it up, started taking lessons 133 00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: and then was off to the races. 134 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: That would be great for kids too, just to learn patients, 135 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: pay attention to. 136 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: Details, learn a lot about yourself. 137 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: Man. 138 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I you know, basketball baseball was fun 139 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 4: as a kid, but if I had golf. I'd probably 140 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 4: be a different person mentally if I started that way. 141 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 4: I think that's probably another new Jersey legend. Jay Al 142 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 4: Smith is he's taking off big time with golf. Like 143 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 4: I'll watch his documentary and it was just dope to 144 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: see the change and personality demeanor with Jr. Do you 145 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 4: feel that you've changed as post football just your energy, 146 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: your frequency, your personality and transition into playing golf. 147 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 3: Can you feel the difference. 148 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: One hundred percent? I think I channel things with a 149 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: much more resolve and much more calmness now that I 150 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: played the game of golf. Like there's a way they 151 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: say when you play golf, you know, it tells a 152 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: lot about your character, who you are, how you play 153 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: the game. Right If I'm playing with somebody and you 154 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: see him and you know he thinks he's not being seen, 155 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: but you see him like pick the ball up and like, 156 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: you know that guy is not a good dude, you 157 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: know what I mean? 158 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 3: It reflects your. 159 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: You're like yo, what you're lying right like to like, 160 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: So it just tells a lot about who you are 161 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: and your demeanor. And I think golf has definitely taught 162 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: me a ton of a ton of patients, especially when 163 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: I play with my daughter, because I have to. I 164 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: have to show her as well as an example of 165 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: being like I can't curse out the golf ball when 166 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: I hit it. I have to just take whatever the 167 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: game is given me and try to teach her that 168 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: as well. And I've seen her grow within the game 169 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: because as she's starting to get more and more competitive, 170 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: and especially around like ten years old eleven, when she 171 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: was starting to get better but still hitting some bad shots, 172 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: still trying to figure it out, and I would see 173 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: her get really angry, and I was like, Yo, it's fine, 174 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: get in the car, let's talk about it. And then 175 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: we developed like this eight step rule, So you hit 176 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: a bad shot, you got eight steps to kind of 177 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: get mad, talk about it, flush it, and then now 178 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: you got to worry about the next shot because the 179 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: next shot is still the next shot. If you're angry 180 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: the whole time you're walking from that bad shot to 181 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: the next shot, the next shot is going to be 182 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: bad too, So you got to flush it, reap, process it, 183 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: and get to that next shot. So it's definitely changed 184 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: my perception and changed my emotions around just life in general. 185 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: Who was some of your growing up in Jersey.

So and obviously he has his people 337 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: out in the streets to see how I move in 338 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: the streets in the clubs, so he did his due 339 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: diligence before he even made the call to bring me in. 340 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: So I think that was that was a big moment 341 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: for me, just to hear someone of his stature talk 342 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: about me in that way and say that I was 343 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: doing all the right things, that that was a big moment. 344 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: Was it a little nerve racking? 345 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 4: I wouldn't say the guinea pig, but you were one 346 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 4: of the first athletes over there. It was kind of 347 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 4: like a testing out the waters, and he was already 348 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 4: having trouble with the nets and it being a conflict 349 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 4: of interest of what this was really going to be. 350 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 4: Did that have give you any type of pushback, like, 351 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: y'all haven't even proved yourself in this space yet. 352 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: Don't use my career as a way to figure it out. 353 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: No, that's a good question. Not necessarily, I think obviously, 354 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: I was moving at a point where, you know, everything 355 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: Hove touches was gold, Like I think anything he was 356 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: going to get behind and put his name on, especially 357 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: in the world that he loved so much in sports, 358 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: and he's already you know, had his hand on Lebron's career, 359 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: had understood how to wrap his arms around players pause 360 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: and really figure out how to guide them along. And 361 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, if I assigned to them and 362 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: not just him. There was the nucleus of people og 363 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: who I still speak to to this day. Rich Kleiman, 364 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: who was there who I still speak with. Obviously, he's 365 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: going on to do great things, Like it was the 366 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: infrastructure of what was built over there that really led 367 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: me to be like, Okay, I see what they're trying 368 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: to build, and I want to be part of it. 369 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 3: What was it the first meeting? 370 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: Because you know, I always I laugh when I hear 371 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: guys talk about the first time they actually sit down 372 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: and talk to Jay And one thing that I think 373 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: people are surprised about is actually how much he's really 374 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: into sports. What was it like for you coming from, 375 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: you know, growing up in Jersey, New York area and 376 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: jay Z obviously being a big part of your growing 377 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: up in the city, you always listening to him. What 378 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: was it like to finally be sitting across from him 379 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: in that moment and just feeling like, Okay, I'm in. 380 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 3: A position to do business with Jay Z. 381 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: It was incredible. And those are the questions that I 382 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: have for him. I mean, I obviously had a hundred 383 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: other questions about music and how he felt during these 384 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: eras in this time and that time, but I sat 385 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: there and was asking him about, Okay, how did this 386 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: deal come about, How did you what was your mindset 387 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: when you were trying to do you know, when you 388 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: were creating Rockefeller, Like what was the business side of it? Like, 389 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure there were hurdles and things you had to 390 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: get through to start something like that, Like what was 391 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: that about? What's your plan with me? Like what do 392 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: you envision for me within this? Okay, I signed to 393 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: you as an athlete, but I have other things to offer. 394 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: So what's in this building for me to take advantage of? 395 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: From a resource perspective that if I want to host something, 396 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: what does that look like? If I want to you know, 397 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: create a film, or if I want to link with 398 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: a director. I have a story coming from where I'm 399 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: from that I think can shape into film or a 400 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: TV show. Who do I speak to in here? And 401 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: he was like, oh, we have a person in that regard. 402 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: Oh we know you love fashion. You on your own line. 403 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: I had a line back then called Young Wales, a 404 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: small line that I started. He was like, Oh, we 405 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: have people here that can help facilitate that. We can 406 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: carry it under our umbrella and really take it to 407 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: the next space. So it was like he's checking all 408 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: these different boxes for me, Like fuck on the field 409 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: that was one thing that I knew I could control 410 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: if I go out there and play well, and I 411 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: go out there and perform, like, all of that's going 412 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: to take care of himself. But how is he going 413 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: to help me on all these other pillars that I 414 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: have in my life? And I was asking him about that, 415 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: and every time, without hesitating, he had an answer and 416 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: a name like, oh, we have person. Oh there's a 417 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: guy right down the hall that we just hired that 418 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: can help you with that.

Like all of these different things were happening, 422 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: and I was just like, oh shit, Like he's not 423 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: just you know, hiring me or bringing me on as 424 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: someone just to put a real cachet. This is like, 425 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: this is real. He wants to be invested in the 426 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: Victor Cruz brand, you know. And that's what and that's 427 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: what kind of turned turned me over. 428 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: Where where do you get your your resilience from? Because 429 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: you know, looking back at your career, you know, even 430 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 2: back to U Mass you you had to uh because 431 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 2: of academically you missed some time in school. You obviously 432 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 2: went on and went back and got you. I think 433 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: bachelor's your homework, y'all, are this is a real This 434 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: is a real. 435 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: In the streets? Is this is real ship? 436 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 3: It should have known by the way the leg was 437 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 3: crossed that this was a county. 438 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: Part of me, part of me? Okay to you. 439 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: But your love with resilience going undrafted, uh, and then 440 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: having a great preseason. 441 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 3: Uh, we all remember that. 442 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 2: Obviously in the New York we were all rooting for 443 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: you and then signing with the team and then playing, well, 444 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 2: you got hurt, I think your first year something like that. 445 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 3: But your level of resilience, where do you? 446 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 1: Where do you? Where did you. 447 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 3: Learn that from? 448 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 4: It? 449 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 3: Is that something that was just taught in the home? 450 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 4: Uh? 451 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 2: Just growing up in Patterson. Obviously we all from the hood. 452 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: You gotta have some type of resilience because we all 453 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 2: meet obstacles. But where does Victor Cruz get that resilience from? Like, 454 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 2: no matter what, I'm gonna achieve. Yeah, that's a good question. 455 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit of all those things. 456 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: I think it's a little mix of my mother being 457 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm first generation Puerto Rican on my mother's side, 458 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: My mother was born in Puerto Rico. She came here, 459 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: My grandmother came here, built a life for her. She 460 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: built a life for me. So like my mother was 461 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: Puerto Rican to the corps, who didn't take no for 462 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: an answer, understood that, you know, all her kids got 463 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: to work hard. She worked a job an hour away, 464 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: dropped us off at school every day. She wouldn't come 465 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: home till seven pm every day, and like left the 466 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: list of chores for us. Like. It was a very 467 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: structured at the crib. So I understood that hard work 468 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: and dedication to your craft exuded good results, you know. 469 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: So I understood that very early on. And then my pops, 470 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: obviously he had two other children outside of me, but 471 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: he understood hard work. He was diligent on the process. 472 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: He was my first football coach, my first coach period 473 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: and anything like. He brought me out and taught me 474 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: all the sports that I know as a kid. So 475 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: it was just that infrastructure, and I knew I couldn't 476 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: let them down. There's a thing in Pattison where we've 477 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: had so many athletes, especially up to when I went 478 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: to college, at least, there were so many athletes that 479 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: came before me that had bigger opportunities than me, that 480 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily make it or they didn't necessarily pan out. 481 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: Outside of Tim Thomas and outside of a guy Kevin 482 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: Freeman who was a very good basketball player got his 483 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: education at Yukon, didn't make it to the next level, 484 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: but that was a high level to reach if you 485 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: come from Pattison, that was a big deal. Stanley Jackson, 486 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: who was a quarterback, went to Ohio State, never really 487 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: panned out, but you know, so we had guys that 488 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: grew up in my town, and I didn't want that 489 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: statistic to come back to me. Now I'm next. Now 490 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. I'm like, oh shit, I'm the 491 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: next one. Let me go be the guy that breaks 492 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: the mold and continue to work hard. And I have 493 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: my ups and downs, got kicked out of school twice 494 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: for academic issues, still came home. Now I'm in community 495 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 1: college right in Pattison. So niggas is looking at me like, yo, 496 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: ain't doing it? Why are you here? Like are you lost? 497 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know, and I'm embarrassed. I'm like 498 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: making up some lies and shit, yo, they told me 499 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: I could come back. It's off season. Whatever, and so, 500 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: but just the resiliency. And I think the second time 501 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: I got kicked out of school, my dad passed away. 502 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: My grandfather passed away in the same year, and I 503 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: think that changes that changed things for me because now 504 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: I look up and I'm like, yo, I'm the man 505 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: of the crib, and I had nothing but women around 506 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: my girl at the time, my mother, my sister, my 507 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: grandmother was still alive. Like now I got to be 508 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: the one, not necessarily financially where I got to go 509 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: work and bring home the bacon kind of thing. But 510 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm still the man of the house. So there's a 511 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: level of responsibility that comes with that. And I knew that, like, yo, 512 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: I got to go out here and change things. And 513 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: right after that, I got back into school, got a 514 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: three point oh GPA figured it out. I mean, I 515 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: had taken so many credits up until that point. I 516 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: got like a double degree and shit, like it's like 517 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm like two credits away from like another degree. I 518 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: could get my fucking masters and shit. So like I 519 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: just understood that. I knew that the way that I 520 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: was brought up, that level of resiliency I had to have. 521 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: There was no taking, no for an answer, and I 522 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: knew that I was going to net out somewhere at 523 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: the top if I continued that same level of resilience. 524 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 4: Was was there ever a plan B per se? Like 525 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 4: I was watching a Tom Brady documentary One handed Cuts. 526 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: Lefty too. 527 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 4: Was watching this tom Brady doc in around like the 528 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 4: sixth round. He was at his parents' house, and he 529 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 4: was like, damn, I guess I'll have to sell insurance. 530 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 4: Like he was starting to think of like, all right, 531 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 4: I'm probably not going to get drafted, and was coming 532 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 4: up with his plan be on the spot watching the draft. 533 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 4: Was there ever another option if it didn't pan out? 534 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: I honestly no, Like I didn't, at least not actively. 535 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: I think I knew that I was going to get 536 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: a chance. Like I knew I probably wasn't going to 537 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: get drafted it so would be super late seventh round 538 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: something like that. But I knew I was going to 539 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: get a chance in free agency, and I knew that 540 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: I had to be really smart about where I went 541 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: about what what uh what organization I chose because I 542 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: had to look at how many receivers they had. And 543 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: I say all of that because I had it mapped 544 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: out I remember being in big gass notebook, and that 545 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: was the first year that the draft was three days, 546 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: so it's like three long ass days of like, so 547 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking at I got it written out all the 548 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: receivers on every single team in the NFL, how many 549 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: they have on the roster right now, and only for 550 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: me to go to the team that had ten of 551 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: them on the round and I was like, oh, I 552 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: chose the wrong. I think I chose the wrong. The 553 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: Giants got and they're young. This was Mario manninghand, this 554 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: is how Keen Nick, this is Randy's Barden Sonora's Mall, 555 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: Steve Smith, like, all of these guys are under four 556 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: years in the league. But I just knew, like, I 557 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: got to try this at home. I do it at home. 558 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: I could really like, I'll figure it out from here, 559 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: but I gotta try to do this at the crib. 560 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 3: Were you living in Patterson that first year in Patterson. 561 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: New Jersey on East a tenth Street between tenth and eleventh, 562 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: And it's funny because you know, the neighborhood knows you right, 563 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: like they know that you're a herald of guy, you know, 564 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: the whole thing. So I had went and I think 565 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: this is what helped me. I went to the Giants 566 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: back then had a low at Giant Stadium and the 567 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: indoor facility, so any guys in the Tri State area 568 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: that were in the draft, they would bring him in 569 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: and do like a little combine and I was like, 570 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: there was only like eight dudes in there. It was 571 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: like five receivers, two quarterbacks, and like two running backs 572 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: something like that, and they really got to see me 573 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: up close and personal, like running routes, running forty, the 574 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: whole thing. And after that, I remember the receiver coach 575 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: coming up to me in the locker room. He's just 576 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: chopping it up with me, asking me like where I'm 577 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: working out at different things. He was like, all right, 578 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: just stay focused, stay ready, da da da. Then he 579 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: walked out and I was like, you're not gonna talk 580 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: to everybody else, and yeah, there's other guys in there, 581 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: and he just and that kind of you know, any 582 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: little thing you kind of taking with you. And I 583 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: think that helped me because after the draft, I got 584 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: my phone call from the Giant staff and they you know, 585 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: I never forget. They called me and was like, are 586 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: you ready to be a Giant? And I was like absolutely, 587 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: and I was like to that. To me, I was like, 588 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: I got drafted. Like that, that felt like the moment 589 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: for me. And I remember putting on I got the 590 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: local Protec the Giants had and like a sweatshirt, and 591 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: I remember walking outside and the whole community was outside 592 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: waiting for me to come outside and give them something. 593 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: And I walked outside of my giants had on and 594 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: they all like started going crazy and it was it 595 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: was a dope moment. And I didn't even tell them 596 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: that I didn't get drafted that I told to go 597 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: through all adult drums of free agency. I was like, yeah, 598 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to Giants. 599 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 3: That's all y'all need to know to know. 600 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: And we took it from there. 601 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: When was the first time, because I can't I'm trying 602 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: to remember it, but the first time you did the 603 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 2: SOULSA in the end zone, I can't remember what game 604 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 2: it was, but I do remember that was everywhere the 605 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 2: first time you did it. 606 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 3: It was on the news. Every sports outlet had you 607 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 3: in the end zone doing it. 608 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: Damn What was that? 609 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 3: Did you plan that? Or was that just like impulse? 610 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: So it was a little I didn't necessarily plan that, 611 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: but I remember it was week three, and it was 612 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: funny because I was my second year right, so up 613 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: until that point, I was the longest tenured guy because 614 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: Marima and him got hurt. We had other younger guys 615 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: on the on the roster from the receiver position, but 616 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: none of them they weren't old enough to be trusted 617 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: just yet. They weren't They hadn't been there long enough. 618 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: I was the one that was there a whole year prior. 619 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: I knew this offense inside and out. Steve Smith was gone, 620 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: so it was just ha Keen Nicks and myself and 621 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: they kind of looked at me like, all right, we 622 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: got to start you like this.

The Giants are more liberal with the crowd 709 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 4: than I say with the Jets. Fact, absolutely absolutely with 710 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 4: I mean the Manning energy that was going on at 711 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 4: the time, New York media. If the Giants stink or 712 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 4: if they're great, new York media is still crazy. Then 713 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 4: add in the Manning family. Was that a lot of 714 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 4: pressure at that time, Yeah. 715 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: Big time, I think, especially because they were looking for anything. 716 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: Eli didn't give them much right Like he was always 717 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: even he's never thrown anybody under the bus, He's never 718 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: It was always about his play, and I think for 719 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: the most part, you know, he had his ups and downs. 720 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: He was you know, we had days where we was like, 721 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: as receivers, we'd be like, damn, Eli, not on it today, 722 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: Like he threw three He had one game I remember 723 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: against Tampa where he threw three picks in the first 724 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: half and we were like god, damn, Like who is 725 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: this guy? This ain't the guy for practice, Like, but 726 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: then the second half he threw for like three point 727 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: fifteen and had four touchdowns and just like, okay, okay, 728 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: maybe he's the same guy. So we had our ups 729 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: and downs with Eli, but man, that media, that media 730 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: pressure is real. Like you'd go anywhere. I mean, I 731 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: was on the heavy Coach Coffin used to call it 732 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: the rubber Chicken circuit. I was on every gala, every 733 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: you know, New York Presbyterian. I was at all of them. 734 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: And you know, the media is there and they're asking 735 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: you questions and you better answer them a certain way 736 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: or they gonna clip you out. They're going to take 737 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: that one blur. 738 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 3: Even know about it. 739 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: So now I got beef and now like every week 740 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: was like, well, how do you feel about the Bears 741 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: coming up? And they were DV corps and it was 742 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: just like in my head, I'm like, I don't give 743 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: a funk about it. I got stay super solid and 744 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: just be like, you know, we respect that, we understand 745 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 1: great team, but we think we got guys that can 746 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: take advantage of you know, we do the politically correct. Yeah, 747 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: so but you had to walk that fine line and 748 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: you know there's days where, especially once I got a 749 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: little older and I had a little bit of tenure 750 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: and I won a Super Bowl and I went to 751 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl, I was like, now I can talk 752 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: my ship a little bit more. And that's when I 753 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: started to get a little bit more open but still respectful, 754 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: but just be myself a little bit more in front 755 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: of the media. And it turned into something something great. 756 00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 3: But what's the catch? 757 00:32:59,560 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: Twin two? 758 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 4: Like everyone loved when you dance, but if you miss 759 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 4: a pass, they'll be a headline like less dancing, more practice, 760 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 4: like big time. Did you want to even stop drawing 761 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 4: the light and attention on you at certain times? 762 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: No, because I think I think I loved it because 763 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: I knew because I knew that like good or bad, 764 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: like that when you're bad, they hate you, but when 765 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: they when you're good, they love you again. So I 766 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: was like, I'm never gonna stop because my next pass 767 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: could be the best pass. Like like I remember, all 768 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: year long, I'm having great times. You know, we had 769 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: a four to three games skin where we lost some games. 770 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: Now I was scoring touchdowns and still dancing, but we lost, 771 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: so that you know, there were certain games where we 772 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: was getting blown out and I would score, and I 773 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: was like, and I wouldn't do it right, and I 774 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't do it, and I was like, and I'm gonna 775 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: be honest. I got more credit for the ones that 776 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: I didn't do than the ones that I did, because 777 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: I would hear I would obviously watch the games back 778 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: in the commentary and be like, Yo, this guy gets it, 779 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: like this is a model guy for the Giants and 780 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: understands that's displaying great character, this type of guy that 781 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: they want at the Giants, you know. And I would 782 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: get more love for not doing it sometimes given the 783 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: circumstances of the of the game. So I always wanted 784 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: to continue to do it because it was a representation 785 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: of who I was and my character and being Puerto 786 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: Rican and my grandmother and like the whole thing. So 787 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: I never I understood what came with it, but I 788 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: never wanted to stop. I just wanted to make sure 789 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: I always was smart about how. 790 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 3: I used to what was Eli Manning's locker room swag? 791 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: Like what Eli's listening to country music? He's on a 792 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: different vibe. But he was always coolest ship, like he 793 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: always was. He was the biggest prankster on the team, 794 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: so he would come in and he did he catch 795 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 1: I don't think he caught me one time, but I 796 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: remember him. So we would have in the beginning of 797 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,479 Speaker 1: the season in training camp with all the rookies before 798 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: we made any cuts, and he would always prank the 799 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: the rookies that would come in and he would go, 800 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: we'd be in our indoor facility and he grabbed those 801 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: little rubber pellets that would be you know, on the 802 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: field turf. They're rubber pellace. So he would come up 803 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: and he'd go to one of the young guys that 804 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: was super gullible and just would do anything that Eli 805 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: would tell him to do. And he'd be like, man, 806 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: I got a really really bad tooth right hair. I 807 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: think I got to get my wisdoms taken out. He 808 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: was like, I still got mind. He was like, do 809 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: you have yours?

So 829 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: he would just be texting his secretary ask can you 830 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: tell Coach was just like yeah, he didn't know how 831 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: to change it. He played him now, he played the 832 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: different type of games. That's why I never leave anything 833 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: vital around Eli, because you never know when it's going 834 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: to turn into a point. 835 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 2: The first time you played against uh Tom Brady and 836 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 2: the Patriots, was that? 837 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: What was that like for you? 838 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 2: Like being in on the field with Tom Brady and 839 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 2: just seeing the Patriots and the organization that they are, 840 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 2: did you feel like, damn, like everything that I've heard 841 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 2: about this guy, like. 842 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 3: It's all true. 843 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I think you know you, I'd be 844 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: I'd be lying if I didn't say, like, prior to 845 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: the game, I'm warming up and I'm kind of peeking 846 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: at his process, like what's he doing with his receivers 847 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: over there? Like how's he getting them ready to play? 848 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: Like what's his technique? Like which is where is his 849 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: mind at when he's getting ready to play? Just trying 850 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: to get any little bit, any little advantage I can 851 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: that I can add to my process or whatever I 852 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: was doing. But we played them in New England for 853 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: the first time. This is in the regular season, and 854 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: it's coldest shit, and it's like one of them typical 855 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: like November New England games, and you're just like, Okay, 856 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: this is this is it. And we went in there 857 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: and we beat him, and we went down to the 858 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: wire and it was Edelman and it was the whole thing. 859 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: And I just remember being like, yo, this is like 860 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: they're a top tier organization, like Tom Brady has those 861 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: boys playing on a different level, on a different scope. 862 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: They just understand the game differently, And luckily we were 863 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: of that same ilk, right. I think coach Coauughlin prepared 864 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: us the same way Belichick understood that. Belichick comes from 865 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: that New York Giants cloth as well, so like, you know, 866 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: very militant, very structure, sure kind of set up on 867 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: both organizations, and I think us being cut from that 868 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: cloth helped me understand Tom Brady and how he conducted 869 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: his business as well. But man, it was you get 870 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: a little starstruck when you're out there playing with him 871 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: because you know, like, Okay, that's TB over there, and 872 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 1: he's gonna every time he laces him up, he's trying 873 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: to win, he's trying to gain an advantage, and you 874 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: know he's going to have those receivers and everybody over 875 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,359 Speaker 1: there prepared to play. 876 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 3: So twenty twelve, it was Super Bowl. 877 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 2: Leading up to it, did you feel like, oh shit, 878 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 2: like we got a shot, like we might actually go 879 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 2: all the way this shit? 880 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 3: What was that like in the locker room? Like what 881 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 3: was the energy? 882 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 2: What was the you know, what was some of the 883 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 2: music you remember listening to, like staying and keeping yourself 884 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 2: in a certain zone mentally, like this is the year 885 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 2: where I think that something like the Super Bowl can 886 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:55,879 Speaker 2: actually we can get there. 887 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 3: What was that time like for you? 888 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: It was It was a crazy time because again that 889 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: was my second year playing right and we have a 890 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: bunch of I wouldn't consider myself a leader on that 891 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: team just yet. I was kind of climbing towards it. 892 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: But we had Justin Tuck obviously, Eli Ocumanjua. We had 893 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: OG's like Rocky Bernard who was out there, like who 894 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: had been I don't know, twelve years in the league 895 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: at that point, so I was leaning on them like 896 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 1: they were the ones that set the tone. But man, 897 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: I think once we rattled off all of those games 898 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: leading into the playoffs and then started and then won 899 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: all the you know, be Atlanta at home, beat Green 900 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,839 Speaker 1: Bay and Green Bay like, then the San Fran game 901 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: was like that was the biggest test I thought, in 902 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 1: my opinion, was like, Okay, San Fran is gonna They're 903 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: gonna beat us up a little bit. Can we withstand? 904 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: Can we fight through and win this game? And that 905 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,280 Speaker 1: was the biggest test for us physically, and those practices 906 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 1: that we had leading up to New England in the 907 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I remember I was just it was rock 908 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 1: life familiar. It was Dynasty album for me the whole time. 909 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: That was the mindset I was on, Like it was 910 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, it was I was dial and it was 911 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: and that album specifically because it was about the team too. 912 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: It was like that album felt like he was bringing 913 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: everybody in to this world and now y'all got to 914 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: see all of us, you know what I mean. And 915 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: that's how it felt going into those games. And I'm 916 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,760 Speaker 1: gonna be honest, at every level that I've ever played 917 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: the game of football, those practices leading up to that 918 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowl game was the most perfect practices that we've 919 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: ever had for this day. Like there wasn't a drop pass, 920 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: there wasn't a mist assignment. Everybody knew what they were 921 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: supposed to do to the point where we would come 922 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,320 Speaker 1: you know, it'd be like the Tuesday before after a 923 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: practice and our coach had no notes, Like he literally 924 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 1: was like, guys, for the first time ever, I have nothing. 925 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: If I told y'all something, I'd be like, it'd be 926 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: like white glove getting a little dust off. And I 927 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: don't even want y'all to think that y'all are doing 928 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: anything wrong. So we're just gonna watch film on New 929 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: England tonight, Like we're not even gonna watch practice because 930 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: y'all are y'all get We're gonna watch New England and 931 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: look at tendencies and look at DB's and look at 932 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: you know. I want you guys to really keen on 933 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: your matchups and the guys that are that you guys 934 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: are going to be seeing for the majority of the game, 935 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: and really lock in on that. But man, I think 936 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: we I think it was up into that moment. I 937 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: think we knew we had the confidence all throughout the playoffs, 938 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: but that week of practice where everything was perfect, we knew, 939 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: like they're gonna have they're gonna have a hard time 940 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: beating us. 941 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 4: What was the last song you listened to before you 942 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 4: walked on the field for the Super Bowl? And then 943 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 4: what was the first song you listened to after being 944 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 4: a Super Bowl shape? 945 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: That's a good question. I think the song I played 946 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: before going out there. I think it was long ago, 947 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: it was a minute ago. It was was this twenty twelve? Right? 948 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: I think it had to because I would always listen 949 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: to Blueprint before going out there, Like Blueprint talked about him. 950 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: Probably the rule is back or one of those joints 951 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 1: that was like, get me really really locked in. And 952 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: then after the game, I was listening to something. I 953 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: don't know, anything Drake at that point because he was 954 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: like all of them, you know, he was at the 955 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: height of it. We were partying. Crazy Drake was obviously 956 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: the biggest thing on the planet back then, and we 957 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: were partying. It was all you heard in the club. 958 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 1: So it was definitely something something Drake related back then. 959 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: But man, it was it was a time and I 960 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, we had a lot of alcohol 961 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: as well. It's a lot of liquor. And the best part, 962 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 1: the best part is like, you know, you're still with 963 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 1: the team. So the next day we got to fly 964 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: back home and everyone's hungover and I was like, wow, 965 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: I ain't never been this hungover, like in front of 966 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: my receiver cover. This is weird a little bit. So 967 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: he's like, yo, you're good. I'm like, which way is 968 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 1: the bus that I can't open this right eye? Then 969 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 1: were going to pray to get more drunk. Then we 970 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: get get more drunk. 971 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 3: At that point, it's like, yeah, being from Patterson in 972 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 3: the era that you grew up in, what's your relationship. 973 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 1: With Jersey club music, oh man, big time. I remember 974 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 1: we used to go down to Elizabeth, New Jersey. I 975 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: forget the name of the club. It was like two 976 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: clubs off the highway, and and those were back in 977 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: the days where we were like we used to dance 978 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 1: or something like that. There was another one across the street. 979 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: It was like used to walk across as dangerous as 980 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: highway just to get to the other side of the club. 981 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 1: And and I remember like it's time for the percolate, 982 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: like we was. It was a thing. And I remember 983 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: leaving there like I sweated out my draws, my pants, 984 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: my shirt was off, like there was no like that's 985 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: when we used to dance for real. Yes, So I 986 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: mean I missed that. I mean I remember that energy. 987 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: I remember loading up you know, somebody's mama's van to 988 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: go down there and really party and have a good 989 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: time and and really dance our faces off. That was. 990 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: That was a moment in time. 991 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 2: You spoke about Greenhouse earlier. I feel like Greenhouse killed 992 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 2: the clubs in New York.

I think when he first came in 1472 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,200 Speaker 1: he had a little injury I think just a little 1473 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 1: like hamstring or something, and so he didn't really practice 1474 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 1: with us at first because they wanted to preserve and 1475 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 1: make sure, you know, they they kept him. They tried 1476 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:53,720 Speaker 1: to get him back as healthy. But I would see 1477 01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,080 Speaker 1: him kind of out the corner of my eye working 1478 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,000 Speaker 1: out and you know, to be throwing him balls, and 1479 01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,640 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, that catches different or like 1480 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 1: what's going on over there? You know what I mean? 1481 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,480 Speaker 1: So I remember the first practice he came out. He 1482 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,800 Speaker 1: came out with us, and they wanted to test him immediately. 1483 01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 1: You know they're gonna see especially at the NFL. Like 1484 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,880 Speaker 1: I would say, in the league, practices are much harder 1485 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,960 Speaker 1: than games. Like in practice, you have to prove yourself 1486 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,840 Speaker 1: each and every day you come out to practice. And 1487 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 1: I remember they put him in. It was the first 1488 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:23,720 Speaker 1: play he was in, and they gave him like a 1489 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. It was just like a fly route, 1490 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 1: and I hadn't seen no one be as explosive as 1491 01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,680 Speaker 1: that down the field. And he jumped up and caught 1492 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,480 Speaker 1: it and caught it for a touchdown over like our 1493 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 1: best corner at the time, and everybody kind of stopped 1494 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:39,960 Speaker 1: and looked at each other and was like, I think 1495 01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,200 Speaker 1: we got one guy. I think we got one. Then 1496 01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 1: fast forward, he had an amazing career with US, amazing 1497 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,400 Speaker 1: career overall, obviously, but we knew, I mean at least 1498 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,320 Speaker 1: I knew in practice early and then from then on, 1499 01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,800 Speaker 1: like all the one handed stuff he would do during it, 1500 01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 1: I mean, the stuff he was doing in practice was 1501 01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,080 Speaker 1: even more insane than anything that he's seen in the game. 1502 01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,240 Speaker 1: That the catch against the cop with v catch. Yeah, 1503 01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,920 Speaker 1: he had did that like four or five times in practice. 1504 01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 1: Nobody on the team was impressed. Nobody was like, oh, 1505 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 1: he just did it. He did it against them Dominic 1506 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,720 Speaker 1: Rogers in practice, like it was crazy. 1507 01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,160 Speaker 4: All right, well, you can definitely take this one based 1508 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:15,840 Speaker 4: off the first stop. 1509 01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 2: Okay, I got you, all right? So you caught the 1510 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:23,720 Speaker 2: first touchdown pass of Super Bowl forty six. That was 1511 01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,040 Speaker 2: February fifth, twenty twelve. What song was number one on 1512 01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:30,720 Speaker 2: the Billboard Hot one hundred that day?
