That's all 16 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: I'm saying. 17 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: Oh wow, funny story, Marty. Greg was my first co 18 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: host for all the shows, so I was brand new 19 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: and I got to work with Greg Buddle. That's why 20 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm so good at what I do now, because I 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: had to go through the ropes with this one. 22 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 3: Well, I think everybody had a anybody that stayed around Greg, 23 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 3: they learned a lot about the game of football, a 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 3: lot about public speaking, a lot about it raising money. 25 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 3: He's doing a great job. He was one of the 26 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 3: founders for the Joe Namath Foundation. And you know what, 27 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 3: but tell us a little bit about where that where 28 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 3: you are now and what you guys are doing with 29 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: all those funds. 30 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: I don't think Greg Buddle really wants to hang out 31 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: with us today. Marty, Well, technical difficulty, so. 32 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 3: He did go to Penn State. Maybe that's the problem. 33 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: That's exactly what the problem. But anyways, Marty, how are 34 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: you doing? 35 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: I'm doing well, Janey. You know, it seems like the 36 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 3: season just started, but now it's almost over, and you 37 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: know we're right there from Thanksgiving to Christmas to the 38 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 3: new Year and then everything will start over. You know, 39 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: the Jets are going to have to reload starting right 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 3: after that Buffalo game and do some evaluation, find out 41 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 3: which players are going to keep, which direction they're going 42 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 3: to go. But I think they got a lot of 43 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: work ahead of them. But I think they got the 44 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 3: right people in ag and you know, the new GM, 45 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: I think they got the right people in line. So 46 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: we'll see what happens for twenty twenty six. 47 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: And Marty, I know I hate when people say, well, 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: what do the Jets have to play for? There's only 49 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: three games left for you as a player, what are 50 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: you playing for. These guys get paid, these guys, this 51 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: is their job. They're not going to give up these 52 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: last three games. 53 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: No, they're not going to give up. You're playing for 54 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: either a spot on the Jet roster or thirty one 55 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: other teams. That's just the nature of the business. That's 56 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: not trying to be personal. Some people are like, some 57 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: people aren't like. That's just the nature of the game. 58 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 3: I think as a competitor, you want to win because 59 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 3: you've been doing it for so long, whether it was 60 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 3: in high school or college, anywhere that you played it, 61 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 3: you wanted to win. And nobody wants to lose. Nobody's 62 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 3: going to tank the job out there because people go, 63 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: you know what, at this point of the season, why 64 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 3: don't they tank it and they'll get a higher draft choice. Well, 65 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: if I'm one of those older guys, I'm not going 66 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: to do that because my number is going to be 67 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: called one day when they're not going to need me. 68 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 3: So I want to win as many games as possible. 69 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: And speaking of old guys, I think we got buddle back, 70 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: buttle are we back? 71 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: Yes, but it breaks up a lot of times when 72 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: I talk it to you. 73 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: All Right, well, Marty, how did you guys first meet? 74 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: Marty in buddle? Tell me? Tell me how you guys 75 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: first met? 76 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: Well, I think I first met Greg when I got 77 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: drafted in seventy nine. I just sat in front of 78 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 3: my locker and listened to, you know, one of the 79 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: team leaders, one of the guys that it was his team. 80 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 3: He wanted everybody to know it was his team. And uh, 81 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: you know, there came a time when he passed the 82 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: torch to myself or anybody else in the in the 83 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: locker room. But the one thing about Greg is, you 84 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: know what, besides being an outside linebacker, he knew what 85 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: the other ten guys were supposed to do. He knew 86 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: the whole defense in and out. And I think that's 87 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: a tribute to coming from Penn State. You know. 88 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: Well, you know, Marty, when he first came in, he 89 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: was probably one hundred, no, it was probably two hundred 90 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: and thirty pounds, and I'm going, this guy's defensive tackle. 91 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: I go, I could believe to forty five, it looked 92 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: two thirty. You were in good shape. But anyway, I 93 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: found out that a the first thing you do in 94 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: pros is find out if the guys can play. And 95 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: if the guys can't play, you know right away there's 96 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: no question this guy can't play, or this guy can play, 97 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: can play. Now, let's see how he fits in and 98 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 2: let's see if he's part of the guys. And that's 99 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: what happens in professional football. At least it did when 100 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 2: we were playing today. I'm not so sure how it goes, 101 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: but the same thing must happen. That you've got to 102 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: prove that you can play in this league. And you can, 103 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: and you can prove that you work hard and that 104 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 2: you try to do it everywhere smart, fast and physical. 105 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 2: And if that's not your game, you're not on my team. 106 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: That's the way it worked from not only me, but 107 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: the guys before me and the guys that came after me. 108 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: The Marty lions Is, the Cleco's and the Abdul Salaams, 109 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: the Lance Smells, Bob Grables, all of those guys fit 110 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 2: that mold. Today, I can't tell you, you know, if that's 111 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: part of the process that they go through. 112 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: For you, Greg, what was your greatest Jets memory? 113 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: The greatest Jets memory is a is a penelope of 114 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: the locker room. It wasn't you know. I can go 115 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 2: back in and look at every single game and try 116 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: to remember things and say, geez, that was neat boy, 117 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: that was fun. Yeah. No, But the locker room probably 118 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: was the best part about being on a professional football team. 119 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 2: That you lived and you died in that locker room. 120 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: It was your living room, and it was it was 121 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: not uncommon to have people invade your living room, and 122 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: that would be the Genet Cochleys of the world. That 123 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: would be mean, and all the other media that would 124 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 2: come in there. And and there was a time you 125 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 2: weren't even allowed in our locker rooms. And I think 126 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: that happened about nineteen eighty or so where females were 127 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 2: allowed in the locker room, and there was a transition 128 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 2: time for that. But I didn't appreciate the regular media, 129 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: the men in the locker room. The locker room was 130 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 2: really our private area that you know, you just couldn't 131 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 2: say things when the media were there. You know, you 132 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 2: couldn't curse out Marty Lyons, you know, for the one time. 133 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: That did you ever curse out Marty Lyons? 134 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 3: He still he still does that. 135 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: You know, that's part of the locker room, right, Marty. 136 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I remember. But my rookie year, 137 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 3: we were up there in New England, second game of 138 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: the year, playing in Foxboro, and the bench was so 139 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: close to the first row in the stands, and they 140 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: were calling us by every different name, and Butts is 141 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: sitting there, and then there was Joe Klecko, and then 142 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 3: there was Bobby Jackson, then there was myself, and they 143 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: were ripping us. They beat us fifty six at three, 144 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 3: but every time we sat on the bench, they would 145 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: yell at us, tell us about our moms, our sister, 146 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: and all Butts said, do not turn around, and they 147 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,559 Speaker 3: went after Butts. Then he went after Joe. And I'm thinking, 148 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 3: as a rookie, oh my god, I'm two people away. 149 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 3: These guys are going to kill me. But I was 150 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: saved because Bobby Jackson turned around and started yelling back 151 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: at him, and then it was all Bobby. It was 152 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: all Bobby Jackson from then on out. 153 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: It was it was. It was a different time, so 154 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: to speak. In those days. I mean, you walked you 155 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 2: you walked out of Philadelphia after a game, you had 156 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: beer bottles being thrown at you. Uh, you know, you know, 157 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: you had places that you would go play that that 158 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: were beautiful. You had you had terrible stadiums in the 159 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: NFL or the Old War Memorial Stadium in Baltimore had 160 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: a toilet in the middle of the locker room with 161 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 2: no no, no encasements around it, and it was like 162 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: high school showers. And that's where a professional football team changed, 163 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: uh into their uniforms and took showers, and it was 164 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: it really was an embarrassment to be there at the time, 165 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: but yay, you did your best and you did what 166 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 2: you had to do. There were a lot of different things. 167 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: The field in Cleveland was the worst field I've ever 168 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 2: played on. The Old Astrodome, the Houston Astrodome had the 169 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 2: first i think synthetic turf. It was like playing on 170 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 2: concrete and you went into that stadium and you got 171 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: burns all over your elbows and your knees from hitting 172 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 2: the turf and sliding on it. It really was terrible, 173 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: but it was an experience that you would never forget, 174 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: right Marty. 175 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, but you're getting ready to finish 176 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: up your twenty fourth year of doing pre and post 177 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 3: game for the Jets, and we'll talk a little bit 178 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 3: about the good thing, good, good times, bad times, how 179 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: you evaluate the game. I always like when you give 180 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 3: your report card. I don't know if you're doing that anymore, 181 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 3: but the report card to me was always something that 182 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: I wanted to listen to. 183 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: Well. I would tell you this, I've never had a 184 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 2: bad time, whether the Jets winner lose. I embraced the 185 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: experience and have a blast. I first worked with Don Lecgreca, 186 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 2: who was great great Don was a great guy. Unfortunately 187 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: he was a giant fan that worked Jet games and 188 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 2: then he decided to have children and that took him 189 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 2: off of the Sundays. And now Dan Grossa is my partner. 190 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: And Dan is a consummate historian of Jets football, and 191 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: I think that he's followed the Jets back when he 192 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 2: was five or six years old. And it's a fun 193 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: process of working together with guys that are part of 194 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 2: a history. Whether you like the history you don't, that 195 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: knows the history inside and out of what the Jets 196 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: were and what the Jets are and hopefully what the 197 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: Jets will be for you. 198 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: And this is kind of a question for both of you, guys. 199 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: You both played for the Jets and now you're both 200 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: working for the Jets for decades. Why did you guys 201 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: decide to stay. What was it about the Jets that 202 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: you wanted to stay and be on this team? 203 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: Well, for me, I had a little different reasoning than Marty. 204 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 2: I got into business back in nineteen seventy nine, and 205 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: when I opened up my bar restaurant, Buddles, and then 206 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: I got into the health and fitness business and nightclub business, 207 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 2: and so I stayed. I stayed around, and I was 208 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 2: around by the community for a long time and started 209 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: to figure out that, you know, I don't know how 210 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: much I can live on a thirty eight thousand dollars 211 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: salary playing football without having a business to support me, 212 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: and maybe get involved in something that had longevity to it. 213 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 2: So forty years later, you know, it's like you've been 214 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 2: in the business a long time and stayed around. And 215 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 2: then then when Leon has sold the team, he died, 216 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 2: the family sold the team, Woody Johnson bought it over 217 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: and decided to go forward and be part of what 218 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: the Jets were was their history, and I think that's 219 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: when Marty and I got more involved in what the 220 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: Jets are doing. In media wise as opposed to just 221 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 2: my business or Marty's charity. 222 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would have to agree. I think the one 223 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: thing that we both made the commitment that after you 224 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 3: play here in New York and you build a name 225 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 3: for yourself, this is where your livelihood's going to be. 226 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 3: You know, there's not many places that Greg can go 227 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 3: that he's not either recognized or somebody will tell him, hey, 228 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 3: you know what, I was at this fundraiser. He's a 229 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: great MC. You know, he does it for the Joe 230 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 3: Namath Foundation. He was one of the founders of the 231 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 3: Joe Namath Foundation, and that's a charity that does just 232 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: so much for the community. And Greg is the MC. 233 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: He introduces all the players. Whether they like what he 234 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 3: says or they don't like it, everybody embraces it. 235 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: Right, it's cute, it's it's it's it's it's fun doing it. Marty, 236 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: as you know, is like you have a little thing where, 237 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: you know, you get up and talk at the charity 238 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 2: all the time, and you embarrass people to donate money 239 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: and you do it in a very nice manner. And 240 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: I think that's why Marty Lyons is Marty Lions is 241 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 2: that people can relate to Marty Lyons, and they don't 242 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: look at Marty as some type of celebrity that is 243 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: above the fray. So he's down in dirty every single 244 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 2: day when it comes to the public, and especially with 245 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 2: his charity. And I think it's commendable of him. And 246 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 2: you know, a lot of players do get involved in 247 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 2: certain things, but the way Marty's involved with his charity 248 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 2: that dates back eons. As far as I'm concerned that 249 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: it's different. That's different than just somebody saying, yeah, I'll 250 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: donate to this charity or I'll lend my name for 251 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: this Marty. Marty is in the dirt, down and dirty. 252 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: That's awesome. And now, Battery, you graduated from Penn State. Correct? 253 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: You played at Penn State. 254 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: That's correct? I did gradual? 255 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I did too. You did? Oh, Congratulabama years school? Yeah? 256 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: Well do you remember your last game you played at 257 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: four Penn State? 258 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 2: The last game I played at Penn State was the 259 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 2: Sugar Bowl against Marty's team Alabama. 260 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: Oh that that two year school that you were just 261 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: making fun of. 262 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 2: Oh, yes, they cheated, but that's beside the point. 263 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: How did you do? How did you guys finish? 264 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 2: We lost thirteen to six in the Sugar Bowl. It 265 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: was a good game. It was a fun game. That's 266 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: I met Richard Todd there and Richard Marty I think 267 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: was a freshman at that time, but that was you know, 268 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: they the captains met together and I got along with 269 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: all of them. 270 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: Well. 271 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: Who was the defensive end? The linebacker? That was Cook? 272 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Lee roy Leroy Cook. Yeah. 273 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 2: He was a very nice guy too, and we had 274 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: a blast. It was a great game. And again it's 275 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: just like an anything else at Penn State. It wasn't 276 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 2: about winning. It never was about winning. It was about 277 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: playing your hardest, being have an integrity and character and 278 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: making a way for yourself future in your future life. 279 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: And I think paternal did a great job with that 280 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: with all the players that were there, and so did 281 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: Bear Bryant. I mean, you know, Marty would would swear 282 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: by Bear and I would swear by Joe Paterno. 283 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: Ye know. 284 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 3: But weren't you the last class that played against the 285 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: Super Bowl winners the All Star team. 286 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: Yes, As a matter of fact, we were the last 287 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: the college All Star Game it was called, was performed 288 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: like the week of July fourth or something like that, 289 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 2: and we played against the Steelers. The Steelers were the 290 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,479 Speaker 2: Super Bowl champions, and we played against him in Chicago 291 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 2: with the Chicago Football Field, and it really was pretty 292 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: neat until the third quarter when the electric storm in 293 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: the downpour game, they canceled the game. Not only did 294 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 2: I play in the last one, I played in one 295 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: that it didn't even finish. The game finished it midway 296 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: through the third quarter. 297 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: I think, Olu, you could see the nests the greatest 298 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: second greatest Penn State Jet Olu fashion is see the 299 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: second guy drafted from the Jets as the greatest one. 300 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the first year the best one is well. 301 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: No, because Lancemell was also drafted by John ever Saw 302 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 2: was drafted by the Jets. Ron Crosby was with the Jets. 303 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 2: There are a number of former players that played for 304 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: the Jets, and old the fashion know is a very 305 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: good football He's a sound football player. That and if 306 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 2: your sound and what you do, you can only get 307 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: better because you recognize what you do wrong and you 308 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 2: try to fix that. So he's he's come. I would 309 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 2: tell you a light year from his rookie year, and 310 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 2: he's playing very well. And I will tell you something 311 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: I expected to play for ten to fifteen years, depending 312 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: on how lucky he is with his physical appearance. But 313 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 2: other than that, I think that he's a smart He 314 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 2: plays hard and he plays fast. What else can you do, right, Marty. 315 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you just got to go out there and perform. 316 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are speculating. What did 317 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 3: you think of Brady Cook this past weekend against Jacksonville. 318 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: I was down there. I really liked the kid. I 319 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 3: like the way he controls the huddle. I like he 320 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 3: made some bad decisions there at the end, but I 321 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 3: thought he threw the ball pretty well. 322 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you. I like Brady Cook as 323 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 2: a matter of fact. And Dan and I, Grassa and 324 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 2: I were talking about a pre game last week about 325 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: I was very interested to see how we would come 326 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 2: off with his first chance when he played when Tyrod 327 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: Taylor got injured, and I was amazed at how good 328 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 2: an arm he had. I didn't know that his arm 329 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 2: was that good. He can fit it in a basement 330 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: window somewhere. So that's number one a prerequisite for quarterbacks 331 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 2: because you can't go through the playoffs without doing that. 332 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 2: Whether it's timing or speed on the football. I recognize 333 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 2: he has that, So I think he's got a lot 334 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: of upside. Now the question is is what does he 335 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 2: have around him that's able that will enable him to 336 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: be a better football player as he gets better, because 337 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 2: then he can make people around him better. So I 338 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: like him. I really do like him. And he's a 339 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: free agent. I was I don't even think he was draft. 340 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: Was he draft? 341 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 2: Here you go that the Jets may have a diamond 342 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: in the rough with him. 343 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 3: He had. 344 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: I think he threw three interceptions last week. Two of them. Yeah, 345 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 2: I don't think we're his fault. The one he threw up. 346 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 2: I don't know what he was thinking about on that one, 347 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: But then again, I'm not playing quarterback. I don't know 348 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 2: what he saw, but he'd have to explain it better. 349 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: But the one thing about him, Marty and Janey is 350 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 2: that he he says it the way it is. He's 351 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 2: he's he's straight out there, He's straightforward. I could have 352 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: played better through this. I did that. I did that wrong, 353 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: But bup, I like that in the player. Admit it, 354 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 2: move on, let's do better the next game. 355 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: All right, Well, before we let you go, we have 356 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: some questions from the fans. Is that good? 357 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: I don't know, but we'll fight out. 358 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: The holiday season. Honikah started. Christmas is a week away. 359 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: We're going to have some fun with this, all right, Okay, 360 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: the first question comes from Joe for Jersey. All Right, 361 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: best gift you received from Santa? That's when you made 362 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: the Nice List. 363 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 3: As a kid. 364 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 2: The best gift ever received from Santa was a brand 365 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: new thing that came out, and it was called a skateboard. 366 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 2: And I think it had to be in the late fifties. 367 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 2: A skateboard came out that you had like old roller 368 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 2: skate wheels, metal wheels on it under a board. It 369 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 2: was awesome and it was neat to We used to 370 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 2: play around with that the whole time. So that was 371 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: probably my favorite gift as a child. 372 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 3: Marty, what about you, Well, I'd have to turn the 373 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 3: clock back up. Probably when I was a little kid 374 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 3: getting a bike because that meant that I didn't have 375 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 3: to walk to school anymore. I had the bike with 376 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 3: the old banana seat on it, the high handlebars. 377 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: You got pictures of that, No. 378 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 3: But I'm sure you know you're too young to understand 379 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 3: what a banana bike. 380 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: I had a huffy with a banana seat, you. 381 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 3: Know, Greg, and I had those. 382 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and I know what a skateboard is too. 383 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: You're like the roller skate wheels on a board.

This is it was unbelievable. 387 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 2: All you did when you turned, you slid on the cement. 388 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: You started sparks were flying. 389 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: All right.
