00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: A bye week helped a lot. I'm good to go. Now.

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Your quarterback has a calf strain, and we've already established

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: that you have hurt everything on the body at some point.

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: So I'm sure you've strained a calf. Power rank it?

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: Where does that fit in with the other body parts?

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I straint a calf. I can't remember

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: if I straint to calf or not. I don't think so.

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: Oh is that? How many parts of the lower body

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: have you not hurt? Um? Everybody's done a hammy, right,

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: and you've done a quad. I'm sure I've done a

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: hammy in a quat yep? Feet, ankles, yep. What about

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: like a glute? Have you heard a glut them? Now?

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm all right, I don't know if you heard it.

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to make it all about injuries, but

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: it was interesting, uh, you know, watching the sound of

19
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: the sidelines from the Patriots game, your your teammates were

20
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: talking about how much of a warrior you've been fighting

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: through different stuff. What allows you to do that, you

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: think and continue to play it at a high level? Uh?

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: You know? Uh? And and do you see that as

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: as something is just about being a football player or

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: is there something different about the way you can still

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: get it done? Um? Actually I haven't saw that the

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: sounds of sideline from the Patriots game. But um, you said,

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: what does it say about me? Yeah? Yeah? What's what's

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: that say about you? That you're you're getting the respect

30
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: of other football players? You know? And these are other

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: tough guys you played through injuries too, and even they're

32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: like blown away, like man Amari's a warrior? Is the

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: exact quote. I forget the name of the guy. I

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: believe it was Anthony Brown said it to Micah Parsons

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: and it was your was at fourth ten? Was that

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: fourth quarter? The slant you caught the ball and ab

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: was telling Mica, He's like, I forgot all your injuries,

38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: but he's like ankle and knee or whatever, and he's

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: like that dude is a warrior. Yeah. Well, I can

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: only tell you the reason why I choose to to

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: play through every everything if I can. Um, I just

42
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: I just want to be great, like I want to

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: be UM Like, when it's all said and done, I

44
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: want to be the best player that I could possibly be,

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: And I know the only way to do that is

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: you have to put up those numbers, because that's what

47
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: people people not gonna like when you've done playing, people

48
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: not gonna watch go back and watch every single game

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: you played in. You know they're gonna they're gonna go

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: by the numbers. And so I know I have to

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: put up UM some some some really good numbers UM.

52
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: And so that's part of the reason why I choose

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: to play through everything obviously UM. Another reasons to to

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: UM to ensure that we have the best the best

55
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: chances at winning UM. And so that's why I choose

56
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: to play. Also because I know what I can do

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: on the field. So as a formal receiver, I like

58
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: that you put the winning second right after the stats.

59
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: I can appreciate that. That's good. I'm just being honest,

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: like when they're always honest. Man, you're always honest. All right, Hey, Mari,

61
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: you're an inside guy. Ceed got fined ten thousand dollars.

62
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: Did you have to walk up and put your arm

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: around him and tell him it's okay? You know, I

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: mean tell us the reaction and I garrit to you.

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: He I bet you he came up to you and

66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: said with that letter in hand and started talking to

67
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: you about it, right, did he? Yeah? He always talking? Man,

68
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: think about seed. I've never seen I've never seen a

69
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: young player so young get fined so much. I think

70
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: he's gotten fine. He's gotten fine like every week this year.

71
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: I think. I'm like, and it's very confusing to me

72
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: because I'm like, yo, like, do you like money like you?

73
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: Do you like pay playing this game? Where you might?

74
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: You must just love playing the game, because I mean

75
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: he gets fine every week. I don't understand, but I

76
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: mean as long as he's having fun out there, then

77
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm good. Is it? Is it the uniform violations because

78
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: he's kind of got the college half shirt thing kind

79
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: of work, And is it it always gets fine for

80
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: someone if you always it's always uniform violation, like it's always.

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: If it's not, it's a uniform violation like every week

82
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: or almost every week, and the fines are pretty significant,

83
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: like it's crazy. But if it's not a uniform violation,

84
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: he's usually doing something like on the field, like the waving,

85
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: which was obviously that was ridiculous. But him coming from

86
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: college where you can still kind of crack back, He

87
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: got a couple of old so you know, he's been

88
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: getting like little nitpicky stuff. But hey, I think he'll

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: learn sooner or later. Yeah, but were you saying that

90
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: was ridiculous that he did it, or it's ridiculous that

91
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: they got fine. Now it was ridiculous that he got

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: fined for it. Yeah, it seemed like Mills was talking

93
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: to him all game and they kind of had a

94
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: friendly back and forth in a smile and a wave

95
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: cost you ten thousand bucks. Any word on what Mills

96
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: was doing to get that kind of a reaction, just

97
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: talking trash? Can Do you think CD can fight? Because

98
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: we we got the audio when he's waving at him,

99
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: he was he was saying, what are you gonna do?

100
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: Like those those are fighting words? Do you think that? Okay?

101
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: Of course, okay, of course he got that dog and

102
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: so everybody who got that dog and could do some hands.

103
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's Mark Cooper here. I want to find

104
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: through the fan. So I have to ask do you

Speaker 1: you are? I I won't say I'm like an expert

124
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: at boxing because I haven't been in that um that

125
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: that space in a long time. But I went to

126
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: the the Canello fight, his last fight. It was actually

127
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: here at at and T. I went there. It was

128
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: a very cool experience. Did you did you go compete

129
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: in boxing and stuff like that? Any No? Well, I

130
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: grew up at a like in a boxing gym. We

131
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: had a boxing gym right behind house. It was the

132
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: pal I don't know, you know Pallets the Police Athletic

133
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: League they have this, like they have different um sports

134
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: you can join that are a part of POAL. Any

135
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: A lot of people grew up in inner cities know

136
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. But yeah, we had a boxing

137
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: gym there. I used to train a lot there, but

138
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: I never fought, like an official fight, but I did

139
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: a lot of trained so much and I sparred a

140
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: lot um. But the thing is, they like they wanted

141
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: me to stop playing football because they thought I had

142
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: so much potential. Wow. Um, So I was just like nah,

143
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: Like if I would have started boxing before football, then

144
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: maybe the love would have been different, it would have

145
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: superseded football. But I started playing football first. So so

146
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: with Gavin's asking about your toughness, you think that's where

147
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: you got your start with your toughness the boxing man,

148
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: that ain't easy to do, uh, I mean it was

149
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: easy to do for me, Like like you get hit,

150
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: but they don't really like you're a gentleman running so much.

151
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: They don't really you don't really feel it. You just

152
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: in that competition mode, like when you're a competitor. You

153
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: don't really like you just focusing on the competition as

154
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: opposed to getting hit. You know, it's Mark Cooper here

155
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: the fan. When you see the next appointed on the schedule,

156
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: do you automatically know who the corner risk that you're

157
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: going to see most of the game and how that

158
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: matchup's gone in the past. Not all the time, because

159
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm not like, I don't keep up with other teams.

160
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't keep up with their trades and the off

161
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: seasons and stuff like that, So sometimes it's new to me.

162
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes Obviously the bigger name guys, you know, so it'll

163
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: be probably Alexander or Brelan this weekend. From what I

164
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: can tell, a couple of Clemson guys, do you have

165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: history with them? Is there something extra on it when

166
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: it's a Clemson guy or another another player from a

167
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: big college. No, it's never. I'm so far removed from

168
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: college that I don't even really think about what school

169
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: someone went to. It could be a it could be

170
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: a cornerback that went to Bama who I didn't play

171
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: with like, and they wouldn't be like, I wouldn't feel

172
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: any type of weight just because I'm not like I'm

173
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: not playing collegiate football right now. You know, mrk Different,

174
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: we're looking for some big stats this weekend, because neither

175
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: one of those guys is very good. I just wanted

176
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: to tell you that do you watch do you watch

177
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: any baseball? No? I don't. That's one sport I don't

178
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: know anything about. I don't know. Okay, that's great because

179
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: my next question was are you at least familiar with baseball?

180
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: And the answer to that is no, No, that's great.

181
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: Well I'll tell you why. Um, I always wanted to

182
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: play baseball. But so growing up, when I started playing sports,

183
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: I never stopped, like I was always in a sport

184
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: at any given moment, Like there was never a pause

185
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: because all the sports I played would overlap, so like

186
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: after football season, where basketball basketball will start before football

187
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: season ended. So when my football season was over, I'd

188
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: be like a week or too late for basketball, and

189
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: then I would be playing basketball, and then track would

190
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: start before basketball ended. So when I ended basketball, I'd

191
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: be like a week or too late for track, and

192
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: so I would always just hop in every sport like that.

193
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: And I say that to say a track was always

194
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: during baseball season, always, and I was really forced to

195
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: run track Like. I didn't really love track, but I

196
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: was good at it, so the coach would always like

197
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: forced me to run, so I was never able to

198
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: play baseball. It sounds really tough, being so good at

199
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: so many things. I can't relate to it, but it

200
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: sounds like it was a real bird money. Are you

201
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: familiar with the word bullpen in baseball? It's where the

202
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: relief pitchers hang out until one of them has to

203
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: go into the game. They hang out in the bullpen

204
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: out in the outfield. I've hurt bullpen a lot, but

205
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: I didn't know that was what it was. Yeah, So

206
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: the relief pitchers are sitting down there, and when the

207
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: starter starts getting in trouble, somebody out there will stand

208
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: up and they'll start warming up. Peter wants us to

209
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: change the word bullpen to arm barn because I don't

210
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: know something to do with bulls. I just wanted to

211
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: get your thought on this really hot topic in the

212
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: political arena. I don't know much about it, so I

213
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: don't really have a comment on it. Okay, good strategy.

214
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: How about a comment on this? Then I'm gonna ask

215
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: you who of your receiving buddies would be the best

216
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: brother in law if you had a sister and they

217
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: were married to one of your when and when his

218
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: receivers was married to your sister, Who would be the

219
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: best brother in law out of that group that you

220
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: work with every day? All right? So when you say best,

221
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and think about it, like

222
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: the one that I wouldn't have to worry about, right responsible,

223
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: He's not gonna do anybody at the holidays. Man, You're like, hey,

224
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: when I'm that, that's my guy right there, I don't

225
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: have to talk bad about him at all, Simmy, without

226
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: a doubt, Simmy, he's a sweetheart. Dizzy, you ain't gotta

227
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: worry about Simmy. Trust me. What are you trying to

228
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: say about Simmy? I mean he's a Mormon, he's a

229
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: he's um honor code. Yeah. Yeah, he's a fundamentist. He's

230
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: a fundamentalist, so he does everything by the book. He said,

231
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: kind of a just a you don't just nothing have

232
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: to worry about him at all? Right, Nah, you ain't

233
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: gotta worry about him. Okay, Well, then who was the

234
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: guy that you wouldn't want to be your brother in law? Then?

235
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: How about that everybody else cooper with us. Do people

236
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: ever tell you you sound like jay Z because they

237
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: keep texting into the show that you do every time

238
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: you're on. Yeah. So I heard that I was doing

239
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: another radio type thing like last year, and somebody said that, Um,

240
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: and then I've heard a couple of other times too.

241
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: Could you do uh like ninety nine problems for us?

242
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: Or it's your favorite song? Better boxer and musician or

243
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: basketball player? Yeah? Oh that's well, I don't know how

244
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: to musicians, so, um, but boxing and basketball? I was.

245
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: I was. I would say I was decent. Epo. What

246
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: what kind of a basketball player? Were you? What position?

247
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: I played the one? In two? Um, I liked the

248
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: two better, but coaches always wanted me to play the

249
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: one because I mean, no one could ever really take

250
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: the ball from you. I like it. I like it

251
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: a lot. At what point did your goal switch from

252
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: becoming a pro to being one of the greats? Hmm,

253
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: that's that's a great question. That's all we do is

254
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: ask a great questions. Yeah. Um, okay, so I was

255
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: in the seventh grade. Wow, I was in the seventh grade,

256
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: and um, you know, you always had hope that you'd

257
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: make it to the league. But um, when I knew

258
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: I would make it to the to the NFL was

259
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: when um, I was we were doing a drill and

260
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: I was going against the dB. I was a receiver

261
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: and the DV he just couldn't jam me for nothing,

262
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: and the coach was getting mad. We had a pretty

263
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: athletic coach. He was like maybe thirty at the time,

264
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: and he just got mad and he got in front

265
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: of me. He was like, he was like, you gotta

266
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: put a hand on him. He's like, this is how

267
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: you do I'm gonna show you how to do it.

268
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: Come on coupe and then the quarterbacks at height and

269
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: I like culled the most lie. He was like, this

270
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: is before our first game. He was like, oh like that.

271
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: He was like, oh shoot, yeah. He was like you

272
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: better do that in the game too. And then that's

273
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: when I that's when I knew I would make it

274
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: to the league, because I was like, this guy is like,

275
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: this guy's a grown man, and he's like he's pretty athletic,

276
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: Like he's always demonstrating drills for us. So if I

277
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: can do this to him, I know nobody my age

278
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: could ever guard me, or probably anybody two, three, four

279
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: years older than me. That's how I was looking at it.

280
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: So that's when I knew I would make it to

281
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: the league. And I guess after that, after I knew

282
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: I would make it to the league, I guess I

283
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: would say that I started thinking about not only making

284
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: it to the league, but just being one of the

285
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: greats Amari, when's the last time you got fined? I'm

286
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: just thinking about how you say CD gets fined all

287
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: all the time, so it sounds like you try to

288
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: avoid it. When's the last time you got fined? That's

289
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: what I was telling him, Like earlier this week he

290
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: was talking about the fine. I'm like, man, listen, I

291
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: don't I go out there. I don't care what I

292
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: would and because they get fined because they like they

293
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: trying to be like swaggy on the field, and I'm like,

294
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: that's cool, you know what I'm saying. But I ain't

295
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: trying to do that. I'm trying to keep all my

296
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: money in my pocket like m But I only got

297
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: fined once, and it was like for some socks like

298
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: I was, I was wearing too many different colors trying

299
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: to do what they're doing now, but never anything in game,

300
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: just the one fine that was in the game. That

301
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: was in the game. Yeah, but then I didn't have

302
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: to pay anything because usually at your first fine you

303
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: can appeal it and they usually just wave it. Oh

304
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: that's nice, Yeah, that's nice. Congratulations, Yeah, Maria. Okay, in

305
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: your career, have you played in Minneapolis? Probably not much? Right,

306
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: have you ever made a trip up there for a

307
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,359
Speaker 1: game I'm worried about to play now? Yeah, in Minneapolis

308
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: up there? Yeah, couple we play their last year. That's right,

309
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: the game was last or my bad? Great question, right,

310
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: crush your breakas I'm thinking the game was at home

311
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: for some reason here, but it was mad Okay. We

312
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: were talking about the Viking horn. When that Viking horn

313
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: blows if you have you heard that thing before, the

314
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: big sound that they make when something Okay, this is

315
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: like a terrible line of questioning with me and Mari.

316
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry about this because, like I say, my

317
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: experience with the yeah, with my experience with the Viking horn,

318
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: when they blow this thing, it's this loud horn, there's

319
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: usually something bad happening to your team. So I say,

320
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: I was going to tell you, man, whatever you do,

321
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: avoid the Viking horn. Avoid the Viking horn right there

322
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: for sure, words to live by. Indeed, Amari, thanks so
