Speaker 1: January twenty ninth, two thousand and twelve, Eloha Stadium, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Speaker 1: With a twenty five left in the fourth quarter, Brandon
Speaker 1: Marshall caught an over the shoulder toe tapper in the
Speaker 1: back corner of the end zone for his fourth touchdown
Speaker 1: of the day. Too bad, no one cared. This is
Speaker 1: a twenty twelve Pro Bowl. Hello and welcome to Games
Speaker 1: with Names presented by when Bett. I'm Julian Edelman, I'm
Speaker 1: Sam Morrel, and we are in the search for the
Speaker 1: greatest games of all time. Today's episode twenty twelve Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl AFC versus NFC and our guest co host on
Speaker 1: Inside the NFL streaming on Paramount Plus. Of course, Brandon
Speaker 1: Marshall a dear friend of mine. You guys know them
Speaker 1: all from I am athlete to a six time Pro
Speaker 1: bowler to New York Jet, New York Jet. He talks
Speaker 1: about the Jets all the time. And you know, we
Speaker 1: started developing this this podcast and Brandon's like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta you know, I was like, we gotta have
Speaker 1: Yambie and He's like, yo, will you do my best game?
Speaker 1: And I said, well, what's your best game? And you know,
Speaker 1: I asked him, you know, if you clearly you didn't
Speaker 1: play in any playoff games now, so we had to scrape,
Speaker 1: naw scratch, and we found the twenty twelve Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: where Brandon Marshall had a hundred jack What do you have?
Speaker 1: I think he had what is six? He had four?
Speaker 1: Four touchdowns. He scored almost as much as Julian on Riyah.
Speaker 1: This guy was on fire. Yeah, four touchdowns I believe
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy six yards. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 1: eight catches seven catches. Amazing. There wasn't a lot of defense.
Speaker 1: Wasn't a lot of defense. But you know what, does
Speaker 1: the defense even really need to show up? Do we
Speaker 1: need a linemen? In the Pro Bowl? We can kind
Speaker 1: of just get the defensive backs and the wide receiver
Speaker 1: seven on seven. Yeah, play with flags seven on seven. Now,
Speaker 1: we can't do that the Pro Bowl. Well, they're not
Speaker 1: tackling anyway. Yeah, at least they were kind of hitting
Speaker 1: this one. I mean it's gotten a lot worse over
Speaker 1: these last couple of years. Yeah, but my first reaction
Speaker 1: when I saw this game was man, d marsh turned
Speaker 1: it on in a game where no one really cared. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're playing meaningful playoff football at this time. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: was twenty twelve. So you're about to lose to the
Speaker 1: New York Giants. We were about to go to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and then lose the Super Bowl to the
Speaker 1: New York Giants and play in one in Indianapolis, and
Speaker 1: yes we lost. You you only made one Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: but you should have made more. But you didn't tell you.
Speaker 1: I didn't make a Pro Bowls. You didn't go because
Speaker 1: I didn't go. We had to play in a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: You got the money, right, they pay me. They gave me.
Speaker 1: You get either forty or sixty grand I got a jersey,
Speaker 1: but hot take everyone. Everyone wants to talk about it.
Speaker 1: Never made a Pro Bowl. I got the jersey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got it. I got I got it. I got it.
Speaker 1: I didn't go because you were playing in the super Bowl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were playing in the super Bowl. So you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't go because they used to play it before
Speaker 1: and then they started going after and after you win
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, you don't want to You don't want
Speaker 1: to go play in the Pro Bowl. No, be horrible.
Speaker 1: You want to go celebrate. Yeah, no, but on a
Speaker 1: real thing, you know. B B. Marsh had an immaculate career,
Speaker 1: was in the Pro Bowl six times, which is a
Speaker 1: huge honor. And what if he had a great quarterback?
Speaker 1: How what was his career? Because that's when you're a
Speaker 1: wide receiver and you don't play with great quarterbacks, that's tough.
Speaker 1: You're you're a dependent player. You know, you depend on
Speaker 1: someone giving you the ball for your career to blossom.
Speaker 1: Now you can. It's like if Daniel day Lewis only
Speaker 1: got to act with like Rob Schneider exactly, you'd be like,
Speaker 1: he's good, but I feel like he could be better
Speaker 1: without a doubt. Yeah, you know, like gangs in New York, Right, Leo,
Speaker 1: that's a little inside Joss, that's an inside joke. ASOV says,
Speaker 1: it's our buddy. ASAV says, it's Scor Sace's best movie
Speaker 1: of all time, of all time, which is a ludicrous take.
Speaker 1: It's a good movie. It is not Scor Sace's best movie.
Speaker 1: Who puts that over Goodfellas? Not me? Not me, not me.
Speaker 1: But let's get our initial reactions to this game. It's
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl. Yeah, it's tough to react to the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Yeah, I'd never watched. Highlights are fun. You
Speaker 1: get to see all these great players. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you definitely see so. Like the thing that stuck out
Speaker 1: to me was that crazy catch that Brandon had on
Speaker 1: the go route where the two guys collide on each other,
Speaker 1: he's on his back. It reminded me of the play
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Malcolm Butler tipped that seamball. Guy
Speaker 1: comes up. What's what was that guy's name? I forgot,
Speaker 1: but he goes out and catches the ball. Brandon had
Speaker 1: some really good plays playing hard, and that's the kind
Speaker 1: of guy Brandon is. So he he plays hard, regardless,
Speaker 1: competes hard and everything huge huge. Well we got Jackie
Speaker 1: that Jermaine curse when he had that big on the
Speaker 1: back catch in a Super Bowl, you know very much, Well,
Speaker 1: does compare a lot to this Pro Bowl catch. So
Speaker 1: you know, I'm excited to have be on here and
Speaker 1: pick his brain about the ins and outs of the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl because I've never been, Sam, Yeah, never been.
Speaker 1: You should have got I mean you you went and
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't go. You know, you had the ticket,
Speaker 1: he just didn't book the flight. When you'd rather be
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, of course, would you trade of course,
Speaker 1: would you trade one Super Bowl for like four Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl appearances. What's the what's the value? Nah? You can't
Speaker 1: exactly ring, That's what I'm saying. Can't take away a ring?
Speaker 1: You know you don't play for the Pro Bowl and
Speaker 1: don't don't. Don't the fans vote for you? Don't know?
Speaker 1: Vans vote g in? And where's our fans in New England?
Speaker 1: Come on, guys, I need double clicks? Where was it?
Speaker 1: It was nowhere to be found? It was no better
Speaker 1: to be found. Let's go back. You can get a
Speaker 1: tweet from Casey Affleck or something. What the hell, Matt Damon.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty big name, right doing Affleck. I'm over this.
Speaker 1: I'm over this is not Let's go back to January
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, twenty twelve. On this day, the number one
Speaker 1: movie in America was The Gray Revenge flick with Liam
Speaker 1: Neeson or in the Woods or something with a big wolf.
Speaker 1: I actually remember this one. This is I love Liam
Speaker 1: Neisson movies. Yeah, they're all exactly the same. You know
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get when you go watch them, but
Speaker 1: you're always entertained and satisfied when it's done. Yeah, at
Speaker 1: least for me. You know, he's a classic Liam Neeson.
Speaker 1: We love him. Uh here, he's got a huge dong
Speaker 1: as well, does he Apparently? I have a friend's mom
Speaker 1: that dated him. Really yeah, I'm gonna have to ask her, asker,
Speaker 1: I will I text her right now. How big is
Speaker 1: Liam's pianis? He's uh yeah, he's great. Great, It's crazy.
Speaker 1: He's still just belting out action movies. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: on a walker soon. The Gray is named after his
Speaker 1: pubes in this movie, which he's really getting old, but
Speaker 1: he's still kicking ass and we love him. Number one
Speaker 1: song in America, We Found Love. We Found this was
Speaker 1: I love that song. Great song. It brings me back
Speaker 1: to some love that I had that time. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: little bit hopeless. I think it was we, but it
Speaker 1: was you know, we we we found it. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then this song came out and then we broke up.
Speaker 1: So Rihanna, Oh she's so cool. Jeggings. Those were Jane leggings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what the what the hell? Yeah? I think Ninkovitch once again.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to Ninkovic's wardrobe. I talked about
Speaker 1: it in one of our episodes. I saw him wearing
Speaker 1: some jeggings once and he said that's how I wear them,
Speaker 1: And I was like, absolutely not. He needs to he
Speaker 1: needs to go back to lumberjack wearings. Here sketcher shape ups.
Speaker 1: Remember that everyone thought they were gonna get a butt
Speaker 1: because of the round curve of the soul of the sketcher.
Speaker 1: I don't remember at all. Yeah I do, I was.
Speaker 1: I've been in that world. I think Brady used to
Speaker 1: wear some things like that. It wasn't a sketcher one,
Speaker 1: but it was like this, like a Kangaroo brand and
Speaker 1: like these moon shoes. I don't know. People people put
Speaker 1: anything on their feet these days to feel like they're
Speaker 1: they're doing something good for their body. F Dora's never
Speaker 1: rocked a for door. I can't put for door. It's
Speaker 1: too much of a fashion risk. I think I wore
Speaker 1: one at the Kentucky derby once, but that's where you
Speaker 1: wear one. Yeah, I went. I went to a race
Speaker 1: and Kentucky and I did. I was at the Keenes
Speaker 1: Race track and I was the only person there that
Speaker 1: didn't look like a villain and Django unschained. Yeah, they really.
Speaker 1: They dressed to the nines. They dressed to the nines
Speaker 1: of the South, for sure, very much so. This time
Speaker 1: in sports. Djokovic beats Nadal in the Australian Open. This
Speaker 1: was this was Charlie Sheen's winning year. Why why do
Speaker 1: you say that? Because this was the year Charlie Sheen
Speaker 1: started the winning when he was like, I'm winning. He
Speaker 1: left two and a half Men twenty twelve, I'm winning.
Speaker 1: Turned out he had HIV. So if your friends are
Speaker 1: really positive, check on. Like I was talking to friend
Speaker 1: the other day and he told me he was crushing
Speaker 1: life and I was like, you poor bastards. It is true.
Speaker 1: Anytime things are going too well, there's always something that
Speaker 1: that was. That was Charlie Sheen at the I mean
Speaker 1: Charlie Sheen, that guy, epic career two and a half Men. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's had a couple, he's had a couple downfalls.
Speaker 1: He'll always come back. He always comes back. Oh dude,

Speaker 1: my dad died coming to the stage. That's how the
Speaker 1: show started. And you had to follow that. Yeah, how'd
Speaker 1: you do? Not? Well, it was a good weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: anytime you get tragedy and you gotta be funny, crazy, crazy,
Speaker 1: But we pulled it out. I've been back since. It's
Speaker 1: a good club. And and you were getting ready to
Speaker 1: play in the super Bowl. Well I didn't technically play
Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, he neither did your whole team. The
Speaker 1: Giants just destroyed you. They didn't destroy us, it was close,
Speaker 1: but they destroyed your your spirit spirit completely ship on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mario Manningham, dude, sideline that was beautiful, was right there.
Speaker 1: Brandon Jacobs just a huge loved him, dude, and then Jpp.
Speaker 1: We always had a crazy defensive line man, Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: the Giants d was that was like there? It was Spags, right,
Speaker 1: who's theirs? Yeah? All Spags always had the He had
Speaker 1: this saying that you know, I think what was on
Speaker 1: the edge crush crash crush chase. So those defensive ends
Speaker 1: are always coming off that edge. So was ut no
Speaker 1: it let's get into these teams. Twenty twelve NFC Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl team. The coach Mike McCarthy. Hmmm, Packers, Packers at
Speaker 1: the time, he did win a Super Bowl with Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers in two thousand and nine. Feeling a little heat
Speaker 1: these days over in cowboy Land. Oh yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: tough job, that is. That's got to be very tough.
Speaker 1: I know, much pressure, but it's like, you guys, it's
Speaker 1: been a while. Cowboys have that that pressure where they're like,
Speaker 1: we're the Cowboys. Yeah, but it's been it's been a
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, it's been since Aikman and Emmett. I
Speaker 1: don't know politics, but this is what I think it's like.
Speaker 1: Is it kind of like QAnon? Well, no, he's the
Speaker 1: he's the president. Yeah, but the president really is just
Speaker 1: a puppet to other people, and that's really Jerry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like because Jerry really runs the shots there.
Speaker 1: Like if you're a head coach in Cowboyland, yeah, like
Speaker 1: you're not calling shots. Jerry's gonna get on that phone
Speaker 1: and just say, hey, buddy, we're doing this and you
Speaker 1: can't say a word about it because that's Jerry. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is that any did that happen if they need to
Speaker 1: do more cocaine. That seemed to be the secret of
Speaker 1: the success in the nineties. Bring back cocaine, Bring back
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys, Yeah, bring it back. Michael Irvin in
Speaker 1: there as a as a special coke game. Coach good Man,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Energy, phenomenal, high energy. I think we
Speaker 1: know why nine players from the forty nine ers, my
Speaker 1: childhood team. They I thought we were actually gonna play
Speaker 1: them because we won the AFC Championship and we after
Speaker 1: the game, he so QB in twenty twelve, Cap that
Speaker 1: was Caps Cap, Alex Smith went out, Cap came in. Hero.
Speaker 1: Smith had those tiny hands. Never trust a quarterback with
Speaker 1: small hands, Yeah, unless he's sending you a picture of
Speaker 1: his penis, because then the penis looks huge next to
Speaker 1: the little hands. But that's why you can't trust them.
Speaker 1: You can't trust them. Eli didn't play in this game,
Speaker 1: but he was voted. Yeah, he was voted A replaced
Speaker 1: by He's also voted Super Bowl MVP. Thank you Sam
Speaker 1: for reminding me once again. Cam Newton was a rookie
Speaker 1: that took his place on the Pro Bowl team. Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, Jimmy Graham, Clay Matthews Matthews another great football family,
Speaker 1: charl Woodson. Charles Woodson man, he played for years. These
Speaker 1: are names. I mean, it's Pro Bowl. Yeah, AFC. They
Speaker 1: had Gary Kubi Kubi from the Texans. That's you remember
Speaker 1: remember that year they came. I think we played them
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. That they were good that year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they came and tried to play us in the whole team,
Speaker 1: warned Letterman Jackets before the game, and like, this is
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Yeah, dude, get that shit out
Speaker 1: of here. We sat here and we saw them coming
Speaker 1: in on Leo Jackets. You just done them, That's all
Speaker 1: it was. I couldn't understand it. Yeah, I couldn't understand.
Speaker 1: Go where you fucked them up. Nine players from the
Speaker 1: Patriots were there. None played because of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Brady didn't play because he was replaced by Andy Dalton,
Speaker 1: another road rookie. Wow. Notable names Big Ben Rivers, Ray Lewis,
Speaker 1: Durel Reeves, Von Miller, a lot. I mean, these are
Speaker 1: this You're right, this is the Pro Bowl. These are
Speaker 1: legends man. The game twenty twelve, Pro Bowl, thirty six
Speaker 1: first time Pro Bowlers. Wow. And I couldn't have been
Speaker 1: one of them. Hmm, too bad. Some bullshit things we remembered.
Speaker 1: Would you would you have rather played in the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: know wing you lost the Super Bowl? Or would you
Speaker 1: rather have gone to the Super Bowl and like that
Speaker 1: builds character and stuff? Or you still got to go
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. It's a fun experience. Family gets
Speaker 1: to have a good I mean, your family probably has
Speaker 1: a great time in Hawaii too, I wouldn't know. But
Speaker 1: the things we remember, I mean, Brandon Marshall had a
Speaker 1: record setting performance, record setting. We also remember that it
Speaker 1: is the Pro Bowl and defense is optional, as it
Speaker 1: was shown. As we said, Patriots and Niners leat the
Speaker 1: league with nine Pro bowlers each. No penalty for the celebration.
Speaker 1: That was back when celebrating was illegal. What a dumb
Speaker 1: rule that was. Players are literally getting CTE and the
Speaker 1: front offices in the NFL are like no dancing, can you?
Speaker 1: What a bunch of assholes. It's no fun league. They've
Speaker 1: gotten better, they've gotten better. Yea, the league has gotten better,
Speaker 1: gotten better, But this was crazy. Yeah, they remember, dare
Speaker 1: they not let them celebrate? Remember they scored the bobb
Speaker 1: and weave by the Rams back in the day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Dirty Bird by the Falcons. I always think of
Speaker 1: the beginning of basketball when you remember that. You ever
Speaker 1: see basketball with it's like the long choreographed dance. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to see that in the NFL, just once.
Speaker 1: It's just everyone just doing like river dance A little bitch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: squeak a little bitch. Basketball is an underrated sports classic. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Those guys are geniuses. And David Zucker wrote it from
Speaker 1: Airplane and she and they are Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
Speaker 1: We love geniuses. Something we may not have known. Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl has vastly different rules than in season games. Some examples,
Speaker 1: can't use a thirty four defense. You have to use
Speaker 1: a forty three. There's no blit scene. I believe you
Speaker 1: have to. I think you have to play zone. I
Speaker 1: don't think you can play man intentional grounds to point
Speaker 1: the blitzing and they're not playing you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean back in the All Star Games, back in
Speaker 1: like the seventies, Pete Rose took out a catcher and
Speaker 1: ended his career trying to avoid that. I guess we are.
Speaker 1: It is something that will always remember. Pete Rose also
Speaker 1: ended his own career by gambling on his team. But
Speaker 1: gambling is cool. Win bet, win bet. Then one crazy
Speaker 1: rule more than one four pass thrown in the same
Speaker 1: plays allowed. I didn't get that. What does that even mean? Jack?
Speaker 1: Let me get a number crunch on that. Roger Goodell,
Speaker 1: speaking a week after the game, said, this is the
Speaker 1: kind of football we want to be demonstrating our fans,
Speaker 1: and you heard it from the fans. The fans were
Speaker 1: actively booing in the stands. We're going to have to
Speaker 1: improve the quality of what we're doing in the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl to consider other changes or even consider eliminating the
Speaker 1: game if that's the kind of quality game we're going
Speaker 1: to provide. I mean, yeah, it's it's an awesome performance
Speaker 1: for Vrandon Marshall, but I think fans want to see
Speaker 1: why have the game if there's not going to be defense.
Speaker 1: Defense is such a part of football. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's it's a tradition. I'll give you that. I actually
Speaker 1: like all like the All Star things when they're doing
Speaker 1: the throw comps, when they used to have the fastest
Speaker 1: man they'd have. I love that's my favorite obstacle, Drew.
Speaker 1: My favorite part of NBA All Star Weekend was never
Speaker 1: the game, it was like the three point content. The
Speaker 1: dunk not anymore. The dumb contest has falling off, but
Speaker 1: three point contest is still Yeah. Can we get the
Speaker 1: dunk on the first dunk? I hate it? You should
Speaker 1: only get one dunk? How many? How many chances are
Speaker 1: we going to give them? I don't know, Jesus, but
Speaker 1: you get as many chances to dunk as a woman
Speaker 1: will give Chris Brown apparently. And let's go to the segment,
Speaker 1: the gaming Corner presented by win Bet some of the
Speaker 1: relevant betting lines of this game. How much of a
Speaker 1: gambling problem do you have to have to bet on
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl? It's jack? Did you have you ever
Speaker 1: bet it on a Pro Bowl? I've only done over unders.
Speaker 1: I will never take a side. I'm a full transparency respect.
Speaker 1: The spread was NFC minus four. That's probably because we
Speaker 1: had nine Patriots in the Super Bowl that game. Wow,
Speaker 1: they lost that one over and under. They were busy
Speaker 1: losing a much more significant game. Yes, they were so
Speaker 1: Samuel over and the mom says, when she's mad at
Speaker 1: me too, she goes Samuel over and under was seventy two.
Speaker 1: What was the final score of this I think that
Speaker 1: went over. Wow, fifty nine to forty one. Yeah, see, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's tough, but I'm excited to hear. I want to
Speaker 1: hear the inside stories from from Brandon about this. So
Speaker 1: many stars in one place, that's kind of to me.
Speaker 1: The cool thing about the males, that's what that's what'll
Speaker 1: be the huge thing. But let's get back to our
Speaker 1: prop bed. Each week, every week during the interview, we
Speaker 1: come up with something that we have to either say
Speaker 1: a certain amount of times, have our interviewee say a
Speaker 1: certain amount of times, or flub someone up with certain
Speaker 1: amount of something where we got to come up with
Speaker 1: that prop bet. What do you well? I think I
Speaker 1: think we got a good one for both of us
Speaker 1: this week. For you, how many times can you mention
Speaker 1: that you played in the super Bowl that year? How
Speaker 1: many times can you mention that during the interview? Do
Speaker 1: you think? I mean, I don't want to be an asshole,
Speaker 1: but I'll go three? Three, al right, three, I'm gonna so.
Speaker 1: And then for me it's how many times can I
Speaker 1: say Aloha because of Hawaii? All right? I think I
Speaker 1: could pull it off four times? You have to because
Speaker 1: after a good play you'd be like, oh yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hit four on lo, I'm gonna hit three. We'll see.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the over on both. Actually, I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the over on yours. So you're gonna have to say five. Okay,
Speaker 1: I could do. I'm gonna have to say it four. Well,
Speaker 1: Aloha means hello and goodbye. I can say it twice there.
Speaker 1: I'm strategizing here. It's like shalom. It is like shalom,
Speaker 1: a hello and a goodbye. All right, Well, we're gonna
Speaker 1: hear from Brandon Marshall right after this. But before that,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we are joined here
Speaker 1: with my brother from another mother, six foot five, two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty pounds. Listen, Yeah, in shape, in shape,
Speaker 1: shamee looking like a tight end. This guy right here
Speaker 1: who's coming onto our podcast. Brandon Marshall had a thirteen
Speaker 1: year career. Yeah, he had nine hundred and seventy receptions,
Speaker 1: nine to seventy twelve thousand, three hundred and seventy one
Speaker 1: receiving yards. The craziest thing is he had eighty three
Speaker 1: touchdowns insane and eighty three touchdowns coupwall pro six time
Speaker 1: pro bowler. That's why we were actually talking to him.
Speaker 1: Because we were going to discuss that MVP performance at
Speaker 1: the Aloha Honolulu Pro Bowl. Oh wow, that's what we're
Speaker 1: here to talk about. This is the game with the
Speaker 1: name baby, this is the game that we're talking about.
Speaker 1: You chose this one. This is a shocker. You know
Speaker 1: how many Super Bowls I played? Him? You're going to
Speaker 1: pick the Pro Bowl game over the Super Bowl games? Well, Brandon,
Speaker 1: you know I didn't. You know, it's tough to how
Speaker 1: many playoff games and Super Bowls did you play in?
Speaker 1: Let me google it? Hold on, Nah, this guy right here,
Speaker 1: my guy right here. He's going to be a future
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. He was a beast. I saw him
Speaker 1: first hand demolish my team in two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1: I think he had like thirteen fifteen catches, two touchdowns
Speaker 1: on Lee Boden I think was it Lee Boden Man.
Speaker 1: I don't even know, Bro, you don't need to see.
Speaker 1: That's how good he is. He doesn't even know. But
Speaker 1: we're joined here with Brandon Marshall to talk about that
Speaker 1: twenty twelve Pro Bowl where you just went absolutely bananas
Speaker 1: in the game. What is Pro Bowl Week? Like? I've
Speaker 1: never been to a Pro Bowl. I was never that good.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know anything about it. What's the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl week? Like, well, first before we jump into
Speaker 1: this Pro Bowl game, Like, tell me about this? What
Speaker 1: is this? Games with names? And this set? Like where
Speaker 1: are you guys in? You got win Bet back there.
Speaker 1: They gave y'all a sake. It was definitely presented by
Speaker 1: win Bet. This is games with names. We take. We
Speaker 1: take the hottest games, important games with big names, games
Speaker 1: that you can name, I mean the names of the
Speaker 1: people in the games, and the games have names. Yo,
Speaker 1: this is so dope, Like is this like a set
Speaker 1: of bar Like where are you guys? We are in Chinatown?
Speaker 1: We're in Chinatown in New York. Yeah, wow, dope, this
Speaker 1: is super dope. I love it. Look anyway, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna pick this. Uh, I'm still disappointed that you chose
Speaker 1: this Pro Bowl game and so it was a dope game.
Speaker 1: We're going to get into it. I have a lot
Speaker 1: to discuss, but we we could have chosen you know,
Speaker 1: all those playoff games and and and those a couple
Speaker 1: of Super Bowl and played Brandon, Yeah, you didn't play
Speaker 1: in a playoff game. Really, See, this is this is
Speaker 1: the ship we talk about. You know, like we get
Speaker 1: a lot of hit it's the head. You forget a
Speaker 1: lot of things. Damn. He doesn't understand the football thing
Speaker 1: like you. He said he had nine hundred and fucking
Speaker 1: seventy catches, and you know it is taking a big guy.
Speaker 1: He can't even remember. He never played in the fucking
Speaker 1: playoff game. He remember? Talk about you talk about games
Speaker 1: with names. Let's at least that's what we should be
Speaker 1: talking about, all them damn games I didn't play in.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm That's what I'm upset about. Now. This
Speaker 1: is a this is an hour game now, one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy games and eighty three touchdowns. I never played
Speaker 1: in a playoff game, Jay, Ever, that's a problem. I
Speaker 1: never played in the Pro Bowl. That's why this is
Speaker 1: like a really interesting one to me because I just
Speaker 1: I'm interesting. I don't know what goes on there. What
Speaker 1: goes on? Brandon? How many Pro Bowls would you trade
Speaker 1: for a Super Bowl appearance? Six time Pro bowler? So so,
Speaker 1: six time Pro Bowler, pro I'll be honest with you now,
Speaker 1: you now you enter enter in to the debate of
Speaker 1: would you rather take, you know, a Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: career or a Super Bowl, right, And I'll be honest, right,
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, when you
Speaker 1: walk away from the game, the most important thing, it's
Speaker 1: the relationship with the guys. Right, Like Jewles, we never
Speaker 1: played together and we never were teammates, but he was
Speaker 1: my all time favorite wide receiver in the game. One
Speaker 1: of my top five players that I've ever played against
Speaker 1: or to me. You know, when I look back at
Speaker 1: the thirteen years I played in league, I look at
Speaker 1: like dudes that I love. Jewles is top five for sure.
Speaker 1: And I told him that back in two thousand and
Speaker 1: like eleven, in twenty twelve, I walked up to him,
Speaker 1: asked him for his jersey. Jewles was nobody at the
Speaker 1: time I did this. Jewles was nobody for real, right,
Speaker 1: And I just saw this dude playing punt return, kick return,
Speaker 1: playing defense, playing wide receiver. He had this damn this
Speaker 1: the tenacity about him. Right, that's right. But look at
Speaker 1: the bond we've been able to make an established since
Speaker 1: that moment and now being you know, teammates on inside
Speaker 1: the NFL. So the relationship is the most important part.
Speaker 1: Now it's it's over. You know, I'm thirty eight. Jules
Speaker 1: is what how are you thirty six or thirty seven.
Speaker 1: I'll be thirty six here soon. So he's thirty five.
Speaker 1: Jules is young. Bro, Like, I got my body. I
Speaker 1: feel good. Jewles don't think I got my mind. I
Speaker 1: still got my mind. And then also I'm able to
Speaker 1: take care of my family. So I if I'm being honest,
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the career over the super Bowl
Speaker 1: because you know, I think that I was in position
Speaker 1: to take care of my mom and my brothers and
Speaker 1: my sisters, you know, take care of myself, create generational wealth.
Speaker 1: It's extremely tough as a competitor, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm the only one that sit around
Speaker 1: Jewels and those guys in there and they're like, ah,
Speaker 1: you never made that playoff. You never read a playoffs.
Speaker 1: I have to eat that for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: But at least I'm eating that with you know, Lobster
Speaker 1: and State Baby. But he never went to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But you did win an MVP at the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: which is impressive. Brandon. This is impression. Four tugs, four
Speaker 1: tugs in a game that no one tries in. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: this is insane. So here's the deal. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you about the Pro Bowl, Jewels, the Pro Bowls dope
Speaker 1: because you know, I just remember every year sending around,
Speaker 1: you know, right around week ten or so, you see
Speaker 1: all the fan votes coming in and then you start seeing,
Speaker 1: you know, hearing the chatter you know, if you made
Speaker 1: it or not, if you're alternate. And I think guys
Speaker 1: enjoyed that moment because it's really again getting that respect
Speaker 1: from your peers, those relationships around the league. People you
Speaker 1: have coaches, defensive coordinators, have other players saying this guy
Speaker 1: is good. And I think that's the ultimate sign of respect,
Speaker 1: is when you get those type of nods in any
Speaker 1: sport from your peers. Right. So that's what's cool about
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. What else is cool about the Pro
Speaker 1: The Pro Bowl? Excuse me? What else is cool about
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl? The first Pro Bowl or two, you
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to you know, show your appreciation to
Speaker 1: the people that help you get there. Right, That's that's
Speaker 1: the coolest thing about it, right. I meanber my first
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, I brought thirty people out there. You know,
Speaker 1: I took the money that I made from the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl and I said, invest that in bringing the people
Speaker 1: out that helped me get there. My college wide receiver, coach,
Speaker 1: my little league you know, mentor and coach and trainer
Speaker 1: throughout high school. You know my mom and dad, you know,
Speaker 1: my couple of my teammates, a couple of my coaches.
Speaker 1: And the first night we were there, we went to
Speaker 1: dinner and I went around the table and I just
Speaker 1: told everybody, I said thank you, because if it wasn't
Speaker 1: for you, I wouldn't be right here, literally right here
Speaker 1: in Hawaii. So that's the coolest part. And then also
Speaker 1: it's extremely cool is being at that hotel and it's
Speaker 1: just the private hotel where you have all of these
Speaker 1: legends sitting pool side, drinking my ties, eating chicken wings
Speaker 1: and all the banter is unbelievable. Peyton Manning, that's when
Speaker 1: I fell in love with Peyton Manning. You know, Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning is that guy. As far as Pro Bowl, he
Speaker 1: runs everything. And there's no NFL or no, you know,
Speaker 1: there's no Players Association running anything. It is Peyton Manning.
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning goes out there, he's running the meetings, he's
Speaker 1: he goes up there, does an hour skit. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: He's doing characters say that again. Peyton's doing like characters
Speaker 1: by the pool. So the first night you get there,
Speaker 1: the first night you get there, everybody comes together. So
Speaker 1: you have the AFC in the NFC. Back in the day,
Speaker 1: it was the AFC NFC coming together. Now it's mixed,
Speaker 1: and I had an opportunity to do both formats in
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. So now you have everybody there and
Speaker 1: Ray Lewis is sitting over here. You know, you have
Speaker 1: all these other quarterbacks excluding Tom Brady. I don't know
Speaker 1: why the hell is it tom Brady go to Pro bowls?
Speaker 1: Bro Is he is he better than everybody? What he's
Speaker 1: usually playing in the Super Bowl. You don't go to
Speaker 1: you don't go to the Pro Bowl if you're playing
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, Brandon, you know it's there was a couple
Speaker 1: went to ten. He's been to ten. Hey, there was
Speaker 1: a couple of years. You're just there's a couple of
Speaker 1: years where you guys didn't make a Super Bowl and
Speaker 1: he opted out of going to a Pro Bowl. But anyways,
Speaker 1: all these quarterbacks are there, excluding Tom Brady because he
Speaker 1: thinks he's better than everybody. Now, I love Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: He's to go, but and he goes around. He just
Speaker 1: makes fun of everyone, man, and it's pretty cool. He
Speaker 1: makes the fun. He makes fun of the commissioner, he
Speaker 1: makes fun of Ray Lewis, he makes fun of you know,
Speaker 1: Brett Favre, and that really sense. He makes fun of you. Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't have a big enough name. My all time
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning story at the Pro Bowl is this, and
Speaker 1: this is the reason why I went so hard in
Speaker 1: the game that you want to talk about today, my
Speaker 1: very first Pro Bowl playing two thousand, I want to
Speaker 1: say it's two thousand, two thousand, two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: My first year was a rookie, had around with thirty
Speaker 1: catches that was trashed. My second year, I should have
Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl. But then they put Ocho Cinco
Speaker 1: in a hitting me. You know, they always make you
Speaker 1: wait a year, right, So I had like thirteen hundred yards.
Speaker 1: Oulto had like nine hundred something yards, but he had
Speaker 1: the bigger name, so they put Ocho in. My third year,
Speaker 1: I get it done. We get there. It's Jay Cutler's
Speaker 1: first year. We are number two in offense, number one
Speaker 1: in office the entire year, number two in offense. You know,
Speaker 1: at the end, because Drew Brees the very last game,
Speaker 1: through this last play the game did something crazy and
Speaker 1: they end up beating us by a couple of yards
Speaker 1: or whatever. So we're we're young, we're crushing it. We
Speaker 1: get the Pro Bowl, nod together? How do you get
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl? Do you? How do they tell you
Speaker 1: made it? So it's it's like this on you know,
Speaker 1: you're watching ESPN, right and and they literally go they
Speaker 1: go through this little you know program, this little broadcast
Speaker 1: where it's like at the wide receiver position, now you
Speaker 1: have Reggie Wayne and you have uh, Antonio Gates at
Speaker 1: tight end and blah blah blah blah blah. So you're
Speaker 1: watching it. But what happens is when you get a
Speaker 1: little older, the teams will come to you. So you'll
Speaker 1: have you know, like a Patrick Smyth, who's head of
Speaker 1: PR for the Denver Buncles, walk up to you and
Speaker 1: be like, hey, b you made it. Well yeah right,
Speaker 1: So so that's how you know. But this first Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: I'm out there and uh, you have Peyton Manning. You
Speaker 1: know it's Peyton Manning. Bro I'm sitting in there. You're
Speaker 1: sitting in there with Peyton Manning. You're sitting there with
Speaker 1: Ray Lewis. I mean, what other legends did we have
Speaker 1: back then? You have Troy Paul Lamarlu, you have freaking
Speaker 1: d Reid Pelisberger. Roethlisberger didn't make it that year. I
Speaker 1: don't think he did, know. I think he threw you
Speaker 1: a touchdown the first Pro Bowl. Bro, we're sitting. We're
Speaker 1: not at the games with names. Bro, you know you
Speaker 1: made so many I lose count. Yeah, we're not at
Speaker 1: the games, hard bro. So anyways, I go out there
Speaker 1: and I'm out of shape, right, I'm probably I'm not
Speaker 1: too twenty, Like Jewel said earlier in the show, I'm
Speaker 1: actually like two. That's the first time in my career
Speaker 1: that like my metabolism changed, and you know, eating chicken
Speaker 1: and McDonald's every day, you know, start really affecting me, right,
Speaker 1: like before I can eat. By the way, that's that's
Speaker 1: terrible for you. Well, no supersized me. It's holerible for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, bro. But here's the thing. I made the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl off of that diet. Okay, that's that's incredible.
Speaker 1: That's that's the documentary. Every day every day after practice
Speaker 1: because I was single, and I would go home stop
Speaker 1: right there at the McDonald's. I'll get two spicy chickens
Speaker 1: sandwiches in a triple thick chocolate milkshake. Oh so we
Speaker 1: got that boom and so what you're season is that McDonald's.
Speaker 1: You said, that's yeah, that's McDonald's triple thick chocolate milk shiit.
Speaker 1: You never had one broke, no, but you get the
Speaker 1: spicy chicken there. Yeah, the spicy chicken was awesome. You
Speaker 1: never had the spicy on the lettuce, just male lettuce, right,
Speaker 1: you know, look, he knows, he knowsny spicy chicken. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that was a McDonald Wendy's got a great
Speaker 1: chick spicy chicken. Come on, let's get to the games
Speaker 1: with names. Come on, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all long, Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness. So anyways, look, I'm out of shape basically.
Speaker 1: You know that off season, I took a month off.
Speaker 1: You know, you have this month off before the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: It's the Pro Bowl, like with Jewels said, nobody's really
Speaker 1: playing out there. So I'm chilling, and uh, I'm balloon
Speaker 1: up to like two forty two or whatnot. I couldn't
Speaker 1: move And then so I go out there, Jewels and
Speaker 1: we had this little dart route. So a dark route
Speaker 1: is not a slant. The slam is like take three
Speaker 1: steps and then w across the middle one step. A
Speaker 1: dart is one step and then you come to the
Speaker 1: middle and he's going to at you and you can
Speaker 1: make big gains off of that. So Peyton Manny loved
Speaker 1: these dart routes when you get down in the red zone.
Speaker 1: So I'm out there with Peyton Manning and in my head,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, this is a this is a picture.
Speaker 1: This is a picture moment, a photo moment. So I
Speaker 1: need to go out there. I want to score this touchdown.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to tell my kids that Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning threw Brandon Marshall a touchdown. So we're out there.
Speaker 1: We had this amazing drive. I didn't contribute to the drive,
Speaker 1: by the way, but I'm out there in the red zone.
Speaker 1: They put the big boy in so he audibles. He
Speaker 1: throws the one yard dark, the one step dark, and
Speaker 1: I dropped it. Bro When I tell you, Peyton Manning
Speaker 1: gave me the death stare. Bro Like, it shook and
Speaker 1: shook my whole Pro Bowl approach and experience. Man Like,
Speaker 1: he looked at me, and I was like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: this is real, right, because Peyton Manning like that. There
Speaker 1: was other cats out there not really playing Peyton Manning.
Speaker 1: When he came out there, he wanted to win. You
Speaker 1: talk about the ultimate competitor. So he stared at me
Speaker 1: from that from the one yard line all the way
Speaker 1: to the sideline bro in the Bro Bowl, like I
Speaker 1: will never throw you the ball again, that type of look.
Speaker 1: I get to the sideline, Jay Cutler sits next to me,
Speaker 1: I got my head down young right, and he's like,
Speaker 1: holy shit, you just pissed off Peyton Manning's ball again.
Speaker 1: So anyways, to did Peyton Manning? Was? He probably the
Speaker 1: reason why you didn't go to the playoffs. He probably
Speaker 1: told all the playoff contending teams do not have this
Speaker 1: guy on your team. He might drop a dart route.
Speaker 1: Is it Peyton Manning's fault you didn't go to the playoffs? No? No, yes,
Speaker 1: not because of that, but because we were playing actually
Speaker 1: really good teams. You guys, man, look at y'all schedule.
Speaker 1: Look at the Patriots schedule. I didn't play. There was
Speaker 1: some of those those runs y'all went on. Yeah, Brandon,
Speaker 1: do you know how the schedule is made. I know,
Speaker 1: I'm just messing around. So the schedule is made. If
Speaker 1: you are the number one team in your division, you
Speaker 1: play all the other number one division teams, so you're
Speaker 1: playing all the first play teams, and then you play
Speaker 1: a different I don't know. I'm just explaining this. It's no,
Speaker 1: it's not. That's not how it's done. Did you ever
Speaker 1: do you ever talk about this moment with Paydon later?
Speaker 1: I have not spoken to Peyton about this. I saw
Speaker 1: them a couple of months ago snowboarding and we had
Speaker 1: a beer together up in Vail, Colorado. His hit is
Speaker 1: so big. He had this big ass helmet on. How
Speaker 1: much would be if you tossed you a beer and
Speaker 1: you dropped it? And he was just like, never again, dude,
Speaker 1: never again. Hey, listen, listen you one thing. One of
Speaker 1: the things that we have to understand about these ultimate competitors.
Speaker 1: I would put jewels in there, Julian Edelman as an
Speaker 1: ultimate competitor, you know. But like talking about some of
Speaker 1: these goats when at the quarterback position, whether it's Tom
Speaker 1: Brady is Peyton Manning, they remember everything right, like whether
Speaker 1: it's in practice, you know, because they're not getting as
Speaker 1: hard as you guys are. Listen, don't let these football
Speaker 1: players give you an excuse. Some of them just need
Speaker 1: to sit down to get some help and talk to somebody.
Speaker 1: But but but look, no, they're not getting hit as
Speaker 1: hard as we are. By the end of the day,
Speaker 1: they remember everything. So I'm sure Peyton Manning remembers that
Speaker 1: if I would have dropped that beer. I'm sure would
Speaker 1: it came up. If you throw me a beer, you know,
Speaker 1: after skiing snowboarding and I drop it, I'm sure it
Speaker 1: will come up in discussion. But that's the reason why.
Speaker 1: That moment is the reason why I started training after
Speaker 1: I got knocked out of the regular season. Tough season,
Speaker 1: so I had a month to train, right while I
Speaker 1: was watching Jewels catch touchdowns and become the greatest wide
Speaker 1: receiver in playoff history. You know, I'm out there watching
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, oh shit, let me go get
Speaker 1: a run in because I got the Pro Bowl, right,
Speaker 1: So that was the reason why. So now you fast
Speaker 1: forward to this moment. I think I was playing for
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. What year was that Jewel twenty twelve?
Speaker 1: Twenty twelve, so twenty twelve, and what ended up happening
Speaker 1: is you know, you know, I think a lot of
Speaker 1: guys that really want it. They're searching for something great, right,
Speaker 1: searching for legacy, their searching for their names to be
Speaker 1: sketched somewhere in football history or basketball history. And for me,
Speaker 1: you know it is it is tough. If I'm being honest,
Speaker 1: I I'm learning to live with not making the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I'm learning to live with never ever competing in a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. As an athlete, as a competitor, all you
Speaker 1: want is a chance. That's all I ever wanted was
Speaker 1: a chance to get there. So for me, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: who am I as an individual? I want to be
Speaker 1: one of the greatest wide receivers, right when we talk
Speaker 1: about you know, me in my place as a selfish player.
Speaker 1: But as a team, what do I want to accomplish?
Speaker 1: I would love, you know, some of my team goals was,
Speaker 1: of course super Bowl, multiple super Bowls, right. And then
Speaker 1: also I looked at these quarterback wide receiver duos. I
Speaker 1: wanted to be, you know, the next Peyton Manning and
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison. Like I studied them, right, I look at
Speaker 1: their stats. I have this beautiful picture of Jay Cutler
Speaker 1: and after our first touchdown and our heads are together,
Speaker 1: and I said, okay, now we have one hundred and
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty more. And basically before that game
Speaker 1: or very first touchdown, I walked up to him. I said, Yo,
Speaker 1: let's go crush Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison what they've
Speaker 1: been able to do as a dynamic duo. Right playing
Speaker 1: against Seattle. I think it was like Sunday night football,
Speaker 1: Monday night football, seventy seven yard touchdown, boom, come together
Speaker 1: in the end zone and we shared this moment. It's
Speaker 1: this beautiful picture and it's a beautiful painting. So anyways,
Speaker 1: I walk into the stadium that year, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: in Hawaii and knocked out of the playoffs again. Aloha Stadium.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Loha Stadium. A lot of greats was there.
Speaker 1: And another cool story is actually was the MVP of
Speaker 1: the Hula Bowl my senior year in college. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: it's like Hawaii has always been a special playing eleven passes,
Speaker 1: three touchdowns at Alhas Stadium, Love Stadium, You did your work? Yes,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? I just I just that
Speaker 1: just kept popped up in my head. You didn't remember
Speaker 1: that you didn't remember that. I remember Hubble, keep going,
Speaker 1: keep going for interruption. So I walk into the stadium
Speaker 1: pre game. I don't I mean, I didn't even walk
Speaker 1: in the locker room yet. And I look up and
Speaker 1: they have all these other MVPs up there. So if
Speaker 1: you actually do a quick search, maybe Jay right now
Speaker 1: or someone out there. I know, Sam might be somewhere
Speaker 1: behind the screen all the MVPs of the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: But I look up and you see Jerry Rice. I
Speaker 1: think you may have seen Chris Carter, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: at John Elway or something. I'm like, oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: those are legends. I said, I want that. So I
Speaker 1: walked in, I saw that, and I you know, went
Speaker 1: through that month of training because I didn't want Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning or whoever to look at me like that again.
Speaker 1: And I went up to Coach Koobs, who was our
Speaker 1: head coach. Coach Kobs at the time was uh at
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans and their coaching staff, you know, were
Speaker 1: coaches for the Pro Bowl. I said, hey, Coach Coobs,
Speaker 1: you know I'm going to go get MVP. He said, okay,
Speaker 1: I got you. And so what we were doing is
Speaker 1: I go out there. He's like, hey B, you want
Speaker 1: to come run this double route. It's like, yeah, no problem.
Speaker 1: Hey B, you want this go route, Yep, no problem.
Speaker 1: Hey B, you want this favor oute, Yep, no problem.
Speaker 1: And it was just a magical moment. You know. Even
Speaker 1: there was one catch. If you look at it, it
Speaker 1: was like tip three four times, I'm laying on the ground,
Speaker 1: I kick it up. It was like it was like
Speaker 1: a poor man's Julian Edelman Super Bowl pitch right, like,
Speaker 1: but it was dope right. It was one of those
Speaker 1: moments like how the hell did that happen? As magical
Speaker 1: and so it was pretty cool. But the biggest takeaway
Speaker 1: from that is like when you lock in, when you
Speaker 1: say I'm gonna do something right, you have a better
Speaker 1: chance of doing it right. Like if you say it,
Speaker 1: you write it down, you believe it, you have a
Speaker 1: good chance of doing it. And it's all about mindset.
Speaker 1: It's all about you know, how you approach things. You
Speaker 1: got to be positive, you know, the same thing like
Speaker 1: Jewels talked about. You know, there's been a couple of
Speaker 1: games where I had ten catches, fifteen catches, eighteen catch,
Speaker 1: twenty one catches. This game, ever, you know, not well
Speaker 1: this is the greatest game ever because we're on games
Speaker 1: with names, but a legendary game playing against the Coast,
Speaker 1: I had twenty one catches and I go out there
Speaker 1: right before the game, I walk up to Michael Smith,
Speaker 1: who was on ESPN at the time. I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: now he's that paramount. Plus I'm like, uh, I'm like, hey, Mike,
Speaker 1: I'm letting you know right now that this is gonna
Speaker 1: be the best game that I've ever played. And then
Speaker 1: I go out there and have twenty one catches. So
Speaker 1: I say that. To say this, it's like you should
Speaker 1: have said that every week. Damn, You're right. That would
Speaker 1: have been crazy. Dang, I might have one catches a game.
Speaker 1: I might have been in the super Bowl if I
Speaker 1: sit it every week. Dude, I just figured out you
Speaker 1: could be like Jesus, whatever you think happens. Wow, you
Speaker 1: know what I want to be right there sitting next
Speaker 1: to you. Guys, I'm going to zoom in the zoom.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can. Then you steal all
Speaker 1: our thunder with that cool hat. Oh so you don't
Speaker 1: want me to do art, I'll stay right here. Then
Speaker 1: you wrong? You do you remember who threw the the
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the Pro Bowl. You had three of them.
Speaker 1: Do you remember who you? Andy Dalton? Yeah? You have
Speaker 1: you are you are? You guys are cheating, said Ben Roethlisberger.
Speaker 1: And uh damn the other quarterback? So Andy Dalton, Ben Roethlisberger,
Speaker 1: and then you had was it? Was it Philip Rivers? Oh?
Speaker 1: Three p it was Philip Rivers. It was Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1: Wow wow, Yeah, that's well. Who is the baddest dude
Speaker 1: there that you when you was it that? That's not
Speaker 1: a quarterback? Who is like a guy there? That was like,
Speaker 1: that's a guy as far as ballplayer swag, how he
Speaker 1: held himself? Who was the guy that you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's here, he's him, He's definitely him. I mean it
Speaker 1: would have been Tom Brady if he showed up and
Speaker 1: didn't think that he was better than all of us.
Speaker 1: But since he didn't show up, I would have to
Speaker 1: go with I mean, Peyton Manning. I said, no quarterback, Brandon,
Speaker 1: no quarter athletically like team got another guy. Know, I
Speaker 1: barely listen, you know, I barely listen. Look ray Lewis,
Speaker 1: ray Lewis, ray Lewis one of our teammates right inside
Speaker 1: the NFL. Hey, there's so many guys out there. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're out there with the legends. I mean Adrian Peterson,
Speaker 1: You're out there with Darel Reeves, You're out there with
Speaker 1: you know, Troy Paula Malu was cool, didn't say anything.
Speaker 1: You know. Ed Reid was super cool. You know, Bob Sanders,
Speaker 1: some of those guys you don't even remember. You know,
Speaker 1: all of the wide receivers. That's the cool part too.
Speaker 1: As a wide receiver. Now you're you're out there and
Speaker 1: you're seeing Reggie Wayne, You're seeing you know, o Cho Senko,
Speaker 1: You're seeing Terrell Owens and all those guys and how
Speaker 1: they approach things. But if I had to pick one,
Speaker 1: guy would say, it's ray Lewis. Ray Lewis, I I
Speaker 1: I understand why they won. He won two Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: I understand why he's ray Lewis. That same year that
Speaker 1: first Super Bowl, like guys don't really want to play, right,
Speaker 1: ray Lewis comes in the locker room right before the
Speaker 1: game that first Pro Bowl and he has his pass
Speaker 1: flipped up. He has like his little turf shoes on
Speaker 1: noe cleats, So we're thinking he's going to actually pull
Speaker 1: his past his jersey down, put his cleats on later,
Speaker 1: and come join the join the guys. So we've got
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler and not standing around, and he brings everybody
Speaker 1: up and it's the Pro Bowl. We're like, bro, we're
Speaker 1: just gonna go out there and just run through, you know,
Speaker 1: go through the motions. He's like, we're not doing this.
Speaker 1: And he gave us this passionate, this unbelievable uh speech,
Speaker 1: and it's like it's the Pro Bowl, but he he
Speaker 1: made all of us, you know, feel like we can
Speaker 1: run through the wall. Jay and I looked at each
Speaker 1: as like, holy ship, let's go play football. Right. We're
Speaker 1: like at the Pro Bowl, right, And rabel Lewis never
Speaker 1: end up playing. He did that because he wanted all
Speaker 1: of us young boys to go out there and uh
Speaker 1: win the game so they can get you know, extra
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars. So the loser at that time got
Speaker 1: forty thousand, the winner got sixty thousand. So Ray loosed
Speaker 1: thirty seven people out there. You want to win this, yeah,
Speaker 1: but but but look at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you know, look, the forty thousand would have covered that, right,
Speaker 1: Like the forty thousand budgeted for the loss like the
Speaker 1: forty thousand when to cover that was going out there
Speaker 1: have a good time. It wasn't even about the game.
Speaker 1: But that's what made ray Lewis so special. It was
Speaker 1: like He's like, no, I needed that extra twenty. So
Speaker 1: what he did is he tapped into that ray Lewis
Speaker 1: coming out and the raw raw speeches and all that.
Speaker 1: Did he do award dance? Oh? Absolutely? He did the
Speaker 1: word absolutely percent. You get mine my hair? Right? Man?
Speaker 1: How's my hair? Put my hat back on? Can y'all
Speaker 1: see me where you guys at? You guys are frozen?
Speaker 1: Kids were frozen. Yeah yeah, but we're still recording. Hey,
Speaker 1: you got to you gotta battle through the elements. We
Speaker 1: play hurt over here, baby, any fun like Nighttime Stories?
Speaker 1: Was anyone like acting a fool out there? Anyone hammered
Speaker 1: or anything like that? Absolutely? I mean you had guys
Speaker 1: like showing up drunk to the practices. I was one
Speaker 1: of those guys. Man, Like every time I went over,
Speaker 1: I had my lady with me, so I wasn't out
Speaker 1: and about like that. And in the reality the night
Speaker 1: the night life over there during that time, it wasn't
Speaker 1: cool Like I went out one time with my family
Speaker 1: and it was so lame and boring, which said a
Speaker 1: lot about the guys that was going. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: you guys are so desperate. You're going to these bars,
Speaker 1: these clubs. Are you kidding me? But yeah, you had guys,
Speaker 1: I mean half the team coming to those practices smelling
Speaker 1: like liquor and drunk. I mean they had a good time,
Speaker 1: and that's what it was about. I love it. Well,
Speaker 1: so you you go off any Herk's coming from being
Speaker 1: selected MVP in this game. Oh yeah, I still have
Speaker 1: the car Ooh yeah car. Well you got a car.
Speaker 1: It's a Tahoe. Yeah, we got a tahoe, you know,
Speaker 1: and I gave it to my mom. You know, it
Speaker 1: was awesome at the time, right because I think I
Speaker 1: was still in my first contract. You had an MVP
Speaker 1: of the Pro Bowl back then, got a car? Now,
Speaker 1: do you have to pay taxes on that car? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: So technically it's not free. Yeah, it's not free. Well, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I saved what forty something thousand dollars fifty thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: so I was able to give my mom this, this, this,
Speaker 1: this tahoe And it was good because I wasn't on No, Yes,
Speaker 1: I was. I just signed my first big deal, and
Speaker 1: you know, she needed a car and uh and I
Speaker 1: was able to just give her that And that was
Speaker 1: the hottest thing out from an SUV standpoint at the time.
Speaker 1: Now we're what ten years later, eleven years later, my
Speaker 1: sister's driving that cars. It probably has about fifty more
Speaker 1: miles left in it. Jules, you were a Super Bowl MVP.
Speaker 1: Did you get a car or anything for that or no? No,
Speaker 1: they give you. They give you like a metal ball.
Speaker 1: That's pretty much it. I'll take that though, Like that's
Speaker 1: a good question for me, Jay, Would I take the
Speaker 1: metal ball or the Tahoe? I'll take the metal Ball. Wait,
Speaker 1: our boy Jack has so what do you got? Jack?
Speaker 1: Looks like as of twenty nineteen, Pro Bowl MVPs were
Speaker 1: getting a Genesis G seventy. So they went from Tahoe
Speaker 1: to Genesis. They just they just went to Genesis. A
Speaker 1: little fun fact from our boy Jack, I like Genesis.
Speaker 1: Maybe Genesis will come in and partner with games with names.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe. I mean, that's what a true professional man
Speaker 1: who developed? I am athlete? What else? What do we
Speaker 1: just develop house of athlete? Yep? This guy just entrepreneur
Speaker 1: stud fashion Icon, hair icon ooh and business extraordinary Brandon.
Speaker 1: Can you name? This is games with names? Can you
Speaker 1: name the name of every quarterback you played with? Nope,
Speaker 1: it was like seventeen bro eighteen. We got a lot.
Speaker 1: Let me do, let me try, want me to try?
Speaker 1: Yeah try. When you say played, what you mean threw
Speaker 1: me the ball? Well pro Bowl aside, We'll say, okay, So, uh,
Speaker 1: year one you had we had Jake the Snake, Plumber
Speaker 1: you had I liked Plumber, Jay Cuttler, you had Kyle Orton,
Speaker 1: and then there was a couple of guys that you
Speaker 1: know when guys went down and we had like two
Speaker 1: guys or there's two more quarter Chris Sims. You caught
Speaker 1: a ball from a semi Yeah. Baby. Every but every morning,
Speaker 1: every morning, Chris Sims and I would would be in
Speaker 1: the facility, like six in the morning, you know, in
Speaker 1: the training room, Mark, not in the training room, but
Speaker 1: in the weight room in the indoor by ourselves, and
Speaker 1: you know, I'll run a couple of hours, run like
Speaker 1: two miles, I'll do my little lyft and then he'll
Speaker 1: be doing his thing, and then we'll go into the
Speaker 1: indoor and he'll throw me a bunch of balls. But
Speaker 1: it was more so for him because he was coming
Speaker 1: back from this like spleen injury, this big injury, and
Speaker 1: so he's trying to get his core back right. So
Speaker 1: he'll be throwing me balls from like a BOCI ball,
Speaker 1: standing on balls, throwing stuff. So we did that every
Speaker 1: morning the entire year. But anyways, Cayle Orton went down
Speaker 1: right before the Redskins game. He came in. I think
Speaker 1: he mayn threw me like two touchdowns, I want to say,
Speaker 1: but you know you have him. And then there's another
Speaker 1: quarterback that threw me a ball in my Denver days.
Speaker 1: I forget his name, but there was another guy, So
Speaker 1: we're gonna count that as a win. Then I get
Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins. You have Chad Pennington. You had
Speaker 1: Chad Henning, you had Matt Moore, you had Tyler Thickpin.
Speaker 1: I believe those were the guys that threw me a ball.
Speaker 1: Then let's get to the Chicago Bears. You had Jason Campbell,
Speaker 1: you had Josh McCown, Jay Cutler again we put the
Speaker 1: band back together, and you had Classing Jimmy Classon. Yep,
Speaker 1: we had old Jimmy Yep. Not there Dame, and I think,
Speaker 1: I think, I think, I think, I think I think
Speaker 1: that was it. I think that was it for the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. And then I move on to the Jets.
Speaker 1: You had gene O Smith, you had my my, my
Speaker 1: favorite of all time, Ryan Fitzpatrick. He threw me a
Speaker 1: ball and made favorite because, like I said earlier, as
Speaker 1: a player, you just want an opportunity to to to
Speaker 1: be in position to win. You just want an opportunity.
Speaker 1: And he gave us the best opportun unity he I mean,
Speaker 1: really couldn't he didn't have. You don't know Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: for his arm. Actually we look at his arm and
Speaker 1: be like, oh my goodness, you know, how's he in
Speaker 1: the NFL? Most people think that, right, A lot of
Speaker 1: people think that it's crazy because he's actually gotten better
Speaker 1: as a He got better as a thrower, you know,
Speaker 1: his last five years of like a seventeen eighteen year
Speaker 1: career is crazy. But he just put us in position.
Speaker 1: Man like the way we communicated, the way he led
Speaker 1: the team. He met everybody where they're at. Everybody loved them,
Speaker 1: Everybody rallied behind him. You know, my quarterbacks experience was
Speaker 1: up and down. Just name Look how many quarterbacks I
Speaker 1: named before I got to Ryan Fitzpatrick. So we talk
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks leading the way you talk about quarterbacks, sitting
Speaker 1: down with Eric Decker and saying, Eric Decker, this is
Speaker 1: how we're going to get you involved in You know,
Speaker 1: you're my god. It's my package for you, sending over
Speaker 1: little clips all day at night voice memos. This is
Speaker 1: what we're going to do. Hey, Brandon, we're playing against
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Every time you have your left foot up,
Speaker 1: they're going to play like this. So this is what
Speaker 1: I want you to do this week. Right? And if
Speaker 1: I pat on my head and then we go out
Speaker 1: and we smoked jewels in them boys, right, So you
Speaker 1: know he was that guy. That's why I love Ryan Fitzpatrick. Man,
Speaker 1: he's one of my all time favorite teammates, one of
Speaker 1: my all time favorite people in the whole wide world.
Speaker 1: You want me to keep going? I think that was it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, you had Eli Manning, and I think that
Speaker 1: was it. And then I went to New Orleans. I
Speaker 1: had a cup of tea in New Orleans with Drew
Speaker 1: Brees coach Peyton, thinking that I was gonna go to
Speaker 1: the playoffs for the very first time. Right, So there's
Speaker 1: actually fun fact here. So twenty eighteen, I'm playing for
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. It's not going well. Still beat up
Speaker 1: a little bit. Get to the trade deadline. Coach Carrol
Speaker 1: brings me to office, like, hey, beat, we've got to
Speaker 1: cut you. Man ain't working out. But don't be surprised
Speaker 1: if you go to New England. You know we you
Speaker 1: know they should be calling you. You know, we thought
Speaker 1: we were going to trade you to New England. I
Speaker 1: think they wanted me to potentially come in and play
Speaker 1: tighten or whatnot. So I'm like, all right, cool, that
Speaker 1: might even a good landing spot. And I end up
Speaker 1: waiting a week. Two weeks go by in New England.
Speaker 1: Never called. Oh my god, he would have won a
Speaker 1: super Bowl. He would have won a super Bowl that year.
Speaker 1: That's the year I won a super Bowl. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: won a super Bowl that year. Oh my, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: So anyways, I get to New Orleans. I call Bill
Speaker 1: par Sales. I'm like, Bill, can you just get me
Speaker 1: a tryout? I know coach Payton. So anyways, I actually
Speaker 1: go to Detroit with your guy coach Patricia, mate Patricia,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's over. This is year thirteen. I'm like, shit, man,
Speaker 1: it's over. You know, I'm thirty catches away from a thousand,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of catches away from one hundred touchdowns,
Speaker 1: never been to the playoffs. You know, I'm tired of
Speaker 1: watching the super Bowl. I think you got to make
Speaker 1: a comeback. Bro, it's been three years. If you make
Speaker 1: a comeback, I'll make a comeback, all right, sure deal?
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Giants. You only with the Giants for one year. Man,
Speaker 1: you only played five games trying to go to Giants. Jones,
Speaker 1: figure it out, day old Jones. I like Brian day Ball. Hey, Dave, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we like Brian day Ball. But I think if if
Speaker 1: I wasn't making comeback, I'm going to Denver, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: play with Russell Wilson, sure for sure. Anyway, Huh who
Speaker 1: you had? JP Lossman? That you forgot? Patrick Ramsey and
Speaker 1: Bryce Petty? Remember him? He was with the Buffalo Bills, right,
Speaker 1: poor Bryce? Yes, poor Bryce Petty. Unbelievable, Brandon, If you
Speaker 1: could have played with any quarterback, who would have been so?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think everybody want to play with Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: You know, I think Tom Brady will be at the top, right.
Speaker 1: You know, I just love how you know, he's always
Speaker 1: going to do his best for the team. You know,
Speaker 1: it seems like he meets guys where they're at. You know,
Speaker 1: guys love him. I mean even now, I've only been
Speaker 1: around on a handful of times. But if I message him,
Speaker 1: they'll message back. I do have a legendary story about
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. You know, maybe you share later, but he's
Speaker 1: just an awesome guy and so and then it needs
Speaker 1: to go. So I would legendary story. We want to
Speaker 1: So the day I asked you for your jersey, you
Speaker 1: guys came to Miami and I walked up to you
Speaker 1: and I asked for your jersey, but I also asked
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady's jersey, right, And Tom was based like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can give it to you. But you know, uh,
Speaker 1: you know Bill and the guys, they don't like us
Speaker 1: exchanging jerseys. After the game, I have to send it
Speaker 1: to you. I will go inside, I'll give it to
Speaker 1: our equipment manager and then we'll have it sit to you.
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I know by neither game warned,
Speaker 1: don't send me no bullshit, Tom, Like, I don't want
Speaker 1: you know, something that is in game war and want
Speaker 1: this one said I got you, I got you beat right,
Speaker 1: And at the time, like, you know, I'm not that guy.
Speaker 1: You know, I may be top five, top six receiver
Speaker 1: at the time, but I ain't that guy. You had
Speaker 1: Fitz Jerald out there, you had Andre Johnson, you had
Speaker 1: a couple of guys out there. But Tom recognized me.
Speaker 1: I feel good, Tom, Tom, beautiful teeth, eyes here, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what here do he had you can
Speaker 1: get lost? Then, yeah, man, Tom recognized me. He says
Speaker 1: he's gonna give me his jersey. So that was like
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven, I want to say, So that's like
Speaker 1: twenty eleven in Miami. That was so eleven years ago, easy,
Speaker 1: is that? So? So anyways, that young listen, I'm waiting
Speaker 1: the next week. It never showed up. Two weeks, two
Speaker 1: never show Tom Brady hasn't sent you a jersey. Hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, six months go by Jules Jay. The jersey
Speaker 1: that it come never showed up. So now I have
Speaker 1: this grudge against Tom Brady that I'm carrying every single year,
Speaker 1: year after year after year. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I got this legendary jersey collection. I got some of
Speaker 1: the best guys. I got kickers. Bro. Most of these
Speaker 1: guys that y'all see with all these jerseys. I know
Speaker 1: Aaron Foster have this legendary jersey collection that everybody's talking about. Bro,
Speaker 1: he don't have kickers. I got all the great kickers, man,
Speaker 1: I got everybody. So b when Tom, When Tom left
Speaker 1: New England, I went to his locker and I stole
Speaker 1: like three pairs of his cleave set he wearing games.
Speaker 1: I was taking like I took a couple of jerseys.
Speaker 1: I think I may have taken his deodorant a couple.
Speaker 1: He used to have his smell goods and I would
Speaker 1: always cover and steal a little shot of his uh
Speaker 1: perfume or his pull oon. Tom Brady always smells great.
Speaker 1: I'm sure just looking at him, I can tell Tom
Speaker 1: always smells good. It's weird. I'm like, Bro, how are
Speaker 1: you smelling good? Rump practice? He goes, yeah. So with
Speaker 1: anyone getting in there grabbing jockstrap, I mean that still
Speaker 1: got value. I'm sure it's Tom Brady. Nobody wear well.
Speaker 1: There's a few guys in the locker room and still
Speaker 1: and I used to wear a jock You you wore
Speaker 1: a jocking what I wore a jock and I wear
Speaker 1: nothing else jocking, just pants. I just wore pants, bro,
Speaker 1: that's his pick. I couldn't do that. Why because I
Speaker 1: mean then then we're all over the place. You gotta
Speaker 1: do adjustments to the right, like the left like that. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not hanging like that. Very average. Yeah. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: I'm like a are you a grower or shower? I
Speaker 1: would say, I'm definitely a grower showing nothing. I'm a
Speaker 1: grower too. What about you, Jay, you look like you
Speaker 1: look like a sad I'm a grower too, grower. I
Speaker 1: heard rumor that black dudes aren't. I thought they're just
Speaker 1: show they show everything they got. That's what that's what
Speaker 1: you heard. That's what I heard. I mean, that's what
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, that's that's the rumor on the street. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean the rumor is like that, you know they
Speaker 1: pack it, we packing. That is that is largely I
Speaker 1: did shower with a lot of guys, largely Hey Jules,
Speaker 1: Hey Jewels, No, we can't. Are the guys that I
Speaker 1: was about to say, what are you gonna say? No?
Speaker 1: You know, you know, the guys run the league and
Speaker 1: they gonna see this. They're gonna watch, they're gonna get
Speaker 1: on us, they're gonna text us. But like I was
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the locker room, you know, like we
Speaker 1: all shower together. But let's move on. It's true. I
Speaker 1: mean they've been doing it for hundreds of years, athletic
Speaker 1: time on tradition. Huh time tradition to time. You just
Speaker 1: can't be national geographic bird watching in the shower. That's
Speaker 1: like the rule. You just can't be seeing someone though.
Speaker 1: We were like, holy shit, I can't not look there
Speaker 1: is there is a couple guys where like it was
Speaker 1: so big. I like I looked at myself and it
Speaker 1: humbled me as a man. Wow, you accidentally blurred out,
Speaker 1: WHOA look at your dong. Sam. You can't come in
Speaker 1: a locker room and have wondering eyes, bro, that's true.
Speaker 1: No bird watching the game. And here's the here's the
Speaker 1: weirdest thing, right walking in the locker room and now
Speaker 1: you have thirty forty networks or men and women on
Speaker 1: the beat. The weirdest thing is like wondering eyes, right,
Speaker 1: like when you know what your team makes you comfortable? Right,
Speaker 1: these are brothers, right, Like we're cool. That's easy, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like Brandon. It's cool if Brandon looks at my Dick
Speaker 1: Waller in there each other, Yeah, that's the cool thing.
Speaker 1: And if he touches a little, it's cool. Your brothers.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter as long as we have socks on. Sam. Hey, Sam,
Speaker 1: stop entertaining this, stop it and start calling you Jay again.
Speaker 1: Stop ouch Hey listen listen, Jewels. Isn't it like the
Speaker 1: the Wondering Eyes Bro? The media? Yeah? Yeah, the media,
Speaker 1: because the media comes in right after games and like
Speaker 1: you're changing. Wow, there's like men, women, kids, It's crazy.
Speaker 1: They were just animals. Just don't worry, they're just changing.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, that that's that's that's when I kind
Speaker 1: of get a little insecure. I like, you know, cover
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Well you know, did we know? Anyways, listen,
Speaker 1: let me finish this Tom Brady's story. Yeah. Let me
Speaker 1: get get get let me get my guys back on track.
Speaker 1: So anyways, six years ago by still nothing right. And
Speaker 1: now you know, every all season I'm in my man
Speaker 1: cave and I got all these jerseys. So every time
Speaker 1: I walk in there, and the all season, I just
Speaker 1: trained and came home. That's it, right, And so spent
Speaker 1: most of my time in this little dope little pool
Speaker 1: hall that that that we built. And I have all
Speaker 1: of these legends, all these guys that we talked about,
Speaker 1: uh in these Pro Bowl games, They're all there. So
Speaker 1: I'm looking and I'm like, the only thing I'm missing
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady. Actually, I even have the last Randy
Speaker 1: Moss jersey, the last jersey he wore as a Patriot. Right.
Speaker 1: I went up to Randy Mam, I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: can I get this jersey? Like he didn't really play
Speaker 1: that's when he and the team and Bill was beefing,
Speaker 1: I guess, And it was actually in Miami. That was
Speaker 1: the last game he played in. That was the last game. Yes,
Speaker 1: And so I walked up to can I get this jersey?
Speaker 1: He was like, hell, yeah, you can have this. Shit,
Speaker 1: I ain't wearing this again. So I had that, but
Speaker 1: I'm looking, I'm like this one spot, where's Tom Brady?
Speaker 1: And it just never showed up. So I carried this
Speaker 1: grudge for a very long time. Anyways, fast forward. This
Speaker 1: could turn into the song stand by eminem right here, yeah,
Speaker 1: here we go, Here we go. He's so fast forward
Speaker 1: to the beginning of the pandemic. Right, everybody's at home,
Speaker 1: working out, doing exercises, riding their bikes, cleaning out their garage,
Speaker 1: just doing you know, yard work. So I happened to
Speaker 1: see all these guys and ladies doing their work in
Speaker 1: the garage, like maybe I should do that too. So
Speaker 1: I go out there in the garage and I have
Speaker 1: boxes all over the place. Every jersey that I've ever
Speaker 1: won on, every touchdown that ever caught, I have those balls,
Speaker 1: those cleats. So if you're a thief for that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, every yeah, Because when I first got in
Speaker 1: the league, I heard you're listening. When I first got
Speaker 1: in the league, I heard this legendary story by Emmis Smith.
Speaker 1: He was like, look when when when you know, people
Speaker 1: call me in the community, or non profits called me
Speaker 1: in the community, They're like, hey, can I get some
Speaker 1: sign you know? He wanted to send something that was
Speaker 1: actually game used, so I was like, oh, that's pretty dope.
Speaker 1: So he kept everything. So that's why I kept everything.
Speaker 1: So I have all these boxes that I was about
Speaker 1: to organize and go through started a pandemic. I get
Speaker 1: to this one big box and there was this little
Speaker 1: FedEx box just sitting there opening up, hoping that was
Speaker 1: going to be like some check, some money from maybe
Speaker 1: some deals marketing deals that I never you know, opened
Speaker 1: up and it wasn't it was something better. It was
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady jersey. And he said, hey, be you're
Speaker 1: a great player. Look forward to seeing you continue to thrive.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady said, oh, my goodness, that makes your weak
Speaker 1: made my week. Bro. I fell in love with the guy.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? I know he got me too.
Speaker 1: There's something about Tom. There's something about like just because
Speaker 1: like the type of person he was like this whole time,
Speaker 1: Like he sent the jersey man like the years, this
Speaker 1: back then, and you just missed it. I missed it.
Speaker 1: I missed it. I don't even know like I missed it.
Speaker 1: I had the jersey all of these years, Tom Brady
Speaker 1: jersey sitting in my garage right. So it's just like
Speaker 1: it shows the type of guy he is, Like he's
Speaker 1: a man of his word, you know. You know it's
Speaker 1: hard to find that, right, Like, yeah, that's a big deal.
Speaker 1: You know, Hey Tom, can I get your jersey? Sure,
Speaker 1: no problem, I'll send it to you. And then you
Speaker 1: don't get it. Oh he's a scumbag, right, you know that?
Speaker 1: And that's what a lot of people don't realize about Tom.
Speaker 1: Stand up, gentlemen. Everyone wants to hate him, and everyone
Speaker 1: hates him until you meet him, right, and then once
Speaker 1: you meet him, you're like, damn it, I like this guy.
Speaker 1: It's fucking shame. I've heard that story so many times
Speaker 1: from people when they go, yeah, I fucking hate Brady
Speaker 1: da and they say they meet him and they're like,
Speaker 1: I love them. But I think the world go see, yeah,
Speaker 1: see there you go, because I think like the overall
Speaker 1: consensus on Tom Brady has beloved, is loved. Like now,
Speaker 1: in the football world, you know, you know I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not a hater. I love Bill Belichick, I love you,
Speaker 1: I love Tom, I love Grunk, I love that on
Speaker 1: the field now, I'm coming at y'all. But at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, there's a lot of people in
Speaker 1: football that hate the Patriots, right in the football circles.
Speaker 1: A lot of people hate Tom Brady. A lot of
Speaker 1: people hate Bill Belichick, right, Robert Kraft r KK right.
Speaker 1: But look, I think that's just the football world. Outside
Speaker 1: of that, I think that you know, the Patriots and
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is beloved. I mean, people root against greatness.
Speaker 1: I think if you're a diehard fan of something. You
Speaker 1: want to see other team win, you know. So, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of the hate on the Patriots is
Speaker 1: when teams are dynasties, they get hate. People hate on
Speaker 1: the Yankees, people hate on the Pads, people hate on
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors, you know, bulls. Yeah, it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that you don't love them when they're gone, when
Speaker 1: they were tired. Like I'm a Knicks fan the nineties,
Speaker 1: I hated Jordan of course. Now I'm like, he's the goat.
Speaker 1: I mean, what can you say? So, you know, I
Speaker 1: think you just need time. And Thomas played for so
Speaker 1: long that time has passed and he's still playing. That's right,
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. You can'tnot respect it, That's right, Brandon.
Speaker 1: Is there anything else on the Pro Bowl? Anything else
Speaker 1: on the Pro Bowl twenty twelve? MVP performance four touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five yards at a Loha stadium,
Speaker 1: at a Loha stadium, goes out there, sets the record,
Speaker 1: takes it away from Smith. Was Jerry Smith, Jerry Smith,
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, What are you talking about? Jerry Smith? Jerry Right,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith, Jimmy Smith, Jimmy Smith. No, Jimmy Smith had
Speaker 1: the record. Oh okay, okay, okay, I thought it was Jerry.
Speaker 1: Remember Jimmy Smith from the the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bro, he's
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. We need to recognize a beast. Beast.
Speaker 1: What number was he? Eighty four? Eighty two? I believe
Speaker 1: eighty two. Yes, I knew it was an off brand number.
Speaker 1: Usually you know what I mean. Yep, man, Hey man,
Speaker 1: I want to thank you, bro. Yeah, I didn't say another.
Speaker 1: I got to say Aloha, goodbye, Aloha stadium. I think
Speaker 1: we hit it. Uh. Anyway, Brandon, You're so great to
Speaker 1: talk to you, man, thank you for coming. It's great.
Speaker 1: Eisde hold On, hold on, hold on. You asked me
Speaker 1: a question. Can I answer it? You said? Do I
Speaker 1: have anything else? What else we got? I thought you
Speaker 1: were done? Bro, hold on, let's go back into history
Speaker 1: books right now. I can go back too far. Gail

Speaker 1: Guy what, Ricky Williams, Peyton Manning, Derek Brooks, Carson Palmer,
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, Larry Fitzgerald, D'Angelo Hall. And there it is
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall sketched in the NFL history. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: in that room, right the MVPs of the picture of
Speaker 1: you in the room. There's a picture you said, there's
Speaker 1: a room over in Aloha Stadium. There's listen. I know
Speaker 1: one thing. When you walk into Loha Stadium and they
Speaker 1: had those m vps going around that Ring of Honor,
Speaker 1: my name is up there. I'm hey, listen, I didn't
Speaker 1: make it to the Pro Bowl yet, I mean, to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl yet, make it to the playoffs yet,
Speaker 1: But I am a Pro Bowl MVP. Baby, you baby,
Speaker 1: you're my m v P. Oh. I'm blushing. See you
Speaker 1: just have a way with way with way with words. Bro.
Speaker 1: It just makes me feel so like I just don't
Speaker 1: even I really have terrible vocabulary, honestly. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: but but you make up for it when you do
Speaker 1: like the sounds and stuff like, oh yeah, like coach
Speaker 1: Gruden and you know you got I hope I'm not
Speaker 1: like coach. Similarities with Julian's emails, they're very tasteful. Brandon,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming on. Man, it's great
Speaker 1: to meet. Yeah, all right, Jay, Sam, Sorry, no, I
Speaker 1: love you. Gonna live this down. No, No, Sam, appreciate you. Bro.
Speaker 1: This was awesome. You gotta come come out out the cellar.
Speaker 1: He's about He's doing a Netflix special too. Oh man,
Speaker 1: that's dope. He called you. J I love that. What
Speaker 1: what what is the what's the legacy for this game? Eh?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's cool that he lit it up,
Speaker 1: but it's not like a legacy game really. It's just
Speaker 1: it's a cool game. If you think about it. You
Speaker 1: have so many incredible football players like in that generation.
Speaker 1: Just like he said, a Peyton man named Ben Roethlisberger
Speaker 1: was no. But it just in general with the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: that has to be an insane, like real moment when
Speaker 1: you're around those kind of guys. I wouldn't know, of course,
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, you were around a
Speaker 1: pretty big quarterback. He Kep. Yeah, he kept on saying that,
Speaker 1: he kept on bringing up Peyton, this Peyton that I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. And then I was thinking to myself, man,
Speaker 1: I had a pretty lucky because you look at that
Speaker 1: quarterback list that he went through. Yeah, that's that's not
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks. That's tough. And it's funny. It's
Speaker 1: like watching two dudes who both have good lives. But
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, the guy who's like married with
Speaker 1: kids and he's happy, and then the guy who like
Speaker 1: has sex with a lot of hot women. I don't
Speaker 1: know which one is which, oh I do, honestly, but uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like two guys who are like, ah,
Speaker 1: the grass is greener, but you both had incredible careers.
Speaker 1: It's just different careers. Well that and that that goes
Speaker 1: to show you how great of a team sport football is.
Speaker 1: Of course, because individually, Brandon Marshall like phenom. He was insane.
Speaker 1: He was a top he was like the best receiver
Speaker 1: a couple of times in his career of like the
Speaker 1: whole year. Yeah, like in the league, and he's always
Speaker 1: like top five. And imagine if he had you know,
Speaker 1: imagine if it would it'd be insane. We do. We
Speaker 1: can't imagine what happened with Peydon. That's that's what I
Speaker 1: learned from this episode. Never drop a pass from Peydon,
Speaker 1: no matter fucking when or what. Cat that ball. I
Speaker 1: remember something very similar to that. It was my first
Speaker 1: pass ever from Tom. It was OTAs and they put
Speaker 1: in a package with four receivers of a four wide group,
Speaker 1: and they gave me a play. And this was like,
Speaker 1: I never played receiver, but they created a package for me,
Speaker 1: and they're like, all right, let me get in. I
Speaker 1: run like a hook route and Tom darts it on me.
Speaker 1: And I tried to run before I had it because
Speaker 1: I want, you know, I wanted to do something with it.
Speaker 1: Dropped the ball. He goes, catch a fucking ball, Julian.
Speaker 1: I went home and cried. I went home and cried,
Speaker 1: not like I was. I felt pretty shitty for like
Speaker 1: four days, you know. And that's tough because you're competing
Speaker 1: in training camp and all these camps and stuff. But
Speaker 1: like when you're hear like Tom, I mean, I was
Speaker 1: in eighth grade and this guy was winning Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, I'm Tom Brady on the asphalt
Speaker 1: to fucking school and this guy comes out me and says,
Speaker 1: catch the fucking ball, Julian. There could have been rookie
Speaker 1: or something. I was so humiliated. I felt so terrible.
Speaker 1: It was like the worst feelings. So you never want
Speaker 1: to drop, especially quarterbacks of you know, Tom's caliber, Peyton's caliber,
Speaker 1: because they won't throw to you. A huge part of
Speaker 1: his trust. Sure, and it took me so long to
Speaker 1: earn his trust after that fucking play. It took me
Speaker 1: like three years during the doghouse doghouse, not even a
Speaker 1: paw out. But you know, well, uh yeah, this was
Speaker 1: a crazy, crazy game. I'm glad I hit the Aloha
Speaker 1: prop bet too way over? Yeah, not way over. I
Speaker 1: think I hit at least six, So I wasn't able
Speaker 1: to sneak one in out of the gate, and I
Speaker 1: knew I had a kind of froze on us come
Speaker 1: from behind victory. Did you get scared? Know? What happened
Speaker 1: was we didn't open with the with the the game,
Speaker 1: so I couldn't find a good opening. Yeah, we definitely
Speaker 1: going forward. We're still very new at this, but like
Speaker 1: we got a we gotta shape it up a little better.
Speaker 1: I bet we'll figure it we'll figure it out. We'll
Speaker 1: figure it out. It's funny to me though, when when
Speaker 1: I'm watching you interact with them. Yeah, like the athletes.
Speaker 1: It'd be so similar to like if we had comedians
Speaker 1: on here and I had to interact with them. Sure,
Speaker 1: I could just see like, uh, can I ask? I
Speaker 1: can see you going through your head like I'm getting
Speaker 1: accustomed to it. You're trying to learn the guy. Can
Speaker 1: I throw in this joke? Can I make a dead
Speaker 1: baby joke? Exactly? Jack? Do we forget anything? I think
Speaker 1: that was a pretty clean up. We cashed our prop
Speaker 1: bet with six alohas. Brandon indeed never made a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl despite what he said earlier. We had a little
Speaker 1: JP Losman talk, which is always good. He's now on
Speaker 1: the staff at University of Oklahoma. And then when we
Speaker 1: were talking Dix in the locker room, we forgot a
Speaker 1: memorable moment when a Fox broadcast called Vincente Shanko the
Speaker 1: tight end on the Vikings naked it as Lou and
Speaker 1: they had to cut away real quick in issue an
Speaker 1: apology full Jack. Yes, Fox said zero point five seconds
Speaker 1: it was on screen, but that was plenty of time
Speaker 1: for the Internet to catch that nice and Jimmy Internet.
Speaker 1: I still remember someone was calling him the equipment manager
Speaker 1: after that because he was packing shout Out in Santa
Speaker 1: And then Jimmy Smith was indeed eighty two and held
Speaker 1: the previous Pro Bowl record of touchdowns touchdown receptions at three.
Speaker 1: Thanks Jack. What do we name the game? Does it
Speaker 1: even deserve a name? Or do we just call it
Speaker 1: the Brandon ball Out Bowl? I love it, triple B
Speaker 1: Brandon ball Out bull No, Brandon ball Out Aloha Bowl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta throw some Hawaiian in there, because that's the
Speaker 1: tradition of the Pro Bowl. Love a Hawaiian pokey bowl?
Speaker 1: You ever have a poke bowl? I don't love pokey
Speaker 1: bowls really. Yeah. They're solid, they're good, but it's not
Speaker 1: like like, to be honest, would you rather have like
Speaker 1: a chicken taraokee bowl or a poke bowl? Depends on
Speaker 1: the mood depends. Would you rather have like a short
Speaker 1: rib or a skirt steak like rice bowl or would
Speaker 1: you have a poke a different things, but it's still
Speaker 1: something protein with rice, I get a bowl. I like
Speaker 1: my shit hot. I like hot food. I love sushi,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but the sushi's got to be
Speaker 1: on right. I gotta be in the right schedule. I
Speaker 1: gotta be in the right mood. I don't know fair enough,
Speaker 1: all right, I take it back, Fuck Pokey, fuck me too.
Speaker 1: I'm a piece of shit. All right, let's score this
Speaker 1: game on the rubric right here, Julie steaks, I mean
Speaker 1: no steaks, really, I guess twenty grand that's the steaks.
Speaker 1: I will give one for a steak. Yeah, I say one,
Speaker 1: because twenty grand is not nothing. But to these guys,
Speaker 1: it's probably not crazy money, you know. Yeah, like you said,
Speaker 1: they probably spent the dinner. Yeah, exactly on drinks. Star
Speaker 1: powers are ten star power we had gameplay point five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no real defense. Zero. We can give it a one.
Speaker 1: I mean, the offense is pretty damn cool. It is cool.
Speaker 1: Is that even low? Because the offense is so cool?
Speaker 1: But I guess it's not like now one is good?
Speaker 1: Name is five? Is? I think four? Five is high?
Speaker 1: Let's go for lower lower. Let's go to two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's that make our grand total? Jack, looks like we
Speaker 1: got an even five, even five that's going to be
Speaker 1: on the lower side for the show. Oh it's three
Speaker 1: point three point five the low that direction three point five.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. Star Power really saved this one.
Speaker 1: I mean, or we're looking at a at a at
Speaker 1: a turd, so but it was. It was good to
Speaker 1: hear the perspective of what really goes on at the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. A lot of drinking, a lot of fun,
Speaker 1: a lot of skits from Hayton Manning. Of course, I mean,
Speaker 1: this guy, we can't get him off of skits. We
Speaker 1: see him on ESPN, we see him on every commercial.
