23
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,920

24
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 4: the NBA All Star game was in Napolis. I wasn't

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 4: born yet, really, I was born in September. The game

26
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 4: was in February of nineteen eighty five, so literally it

27
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 4: could be a once in a generation thing. Plant some

28
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 4: roots for this weekend celebrating NBA All Star weekend.

29
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: Let me let me let's think about something really quick.

30
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: Here the celebrity All Star game that's coming into town.

31
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 3: Matt Taylor voice to the Colts, they say, hey, we

32
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: want you on the floor for just celebrity game. Seriously.

33
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: And by the way, the game will be like ten

34
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: minute quarters, so it'll probably be a forty minute game.

35
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you thirty of that forty minutes.

36
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: You're gonna my tongue's gonna be on the floor.

37
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: What's your stat line? You got thirty minutes of the

38
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: forty minute game. What's your stat line tonight? If Matt

00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: Taylor's playing.

00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: In, I'm going I'm going six points, two of twelve

00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,040

Speaker 3: Junior tonight upcoming NFL free agency. Obviously franchise tag people

47
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: are talking about. Uh and also this one you ready, Yeah,

48
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: I'm Dwight Freeney, newest member of the Pro Football Hall

49
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: of Fame. We caught up with him a couple of

50
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: days ago. We're gonna catch up. You don't want to

51
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 3: miss this, but maytey, I got to talk about Michael

52
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: Pittman Junior here, all right, here we go. MPJ is

53
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: up for NFL free agency. The going market on this thing,

54
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: whether you franchise him or whether you sign him to

55
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: an extension, it is twenty million or north of that?

56
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 3: Am I correcting that? First off? My end? That ballpark

57
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: north of twenty million.

58
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, whether it's the franchise tag or a long term deal,

59
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: you're looking at Michael Pittman Junior next year for the Colts.

60
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: If he's on this team playing on a contract that

61
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 4: is north of twenty and that to.

62
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: You, and I'm just asking you. With the production outfit

63
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: and that is a dog. We know what he does.

64
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: He plays hurt, doesn't want to leave the field. He's

65
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 3: a nasty guy. He's got a nasty attitude that fits

66
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: with this offense, that fits with this offense, with that

67
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 3: contract as well. That's what I'm trying to say. People

68
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: are going to be offering for his services, but if

69
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 3: there is a comparative thing or the franchise tag comes

70
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: into play. This is a key component in my opinion

71
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: for two twenty four and this Stike and Let offense.

72
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't worry about the money when it comes

73
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: to Michael Pittman Junior or any other top notch wide

74
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 4: receiver because the going rate is the going rate. You

75
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 4: either have top notch wideouts or you'd known't. It's kind

76
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: of like quarterback and quarterbacks need top level wideouts to

77
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: make plays and that's what Michael Pittman. That's what he

78
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: can do. And you know, people get worked up all

79
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 4: the time when they talk about Michael Pittman Junior because

80
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: they say he's not a number one wide receiver. Well,

81
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 4: I don't know what that means.

82
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 3: See me, do you know what that means? Catch the

83
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: hundred balls, as you know, over a thousand yards? What

84
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: I mean, what more do you want?

85
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 4: All I know is he's a damn good football player,

86
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: and he is. He's been this team's top receiver the

87
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 4: last three years. And I know he's not the deep

88
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: threat target. He's not you know, the guy outside the numbers,

89
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 4: but you still need high volume catches between the numbers,

90
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: crunch time catches, high leverage receptions to win, and nobody

91
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: does that better than Michael Pittman Junior. So that's one

92
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 4: reason why don't get caught up in the price tag.

93
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: The other reason is because your quarterback is on a

94
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 4: rookie contract, so you've got some fleck disability from a

95
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: financial standpoint there, and Pittman's return, Jeffrey would support a

96
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: young quarterback, and Anthony Richardson that's gonna be rebooting his

97
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: rookie season to a degree next year just because of

98
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: all the time that he made.

99
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: And I know those guys have been communicating on social media.

100
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: Obviously we're gonna get to some Anthony Richardson news in

101
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: a minute, but first here's Michael Pittman Junior on if

102
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: he'd like to play with the franchise tag in twenty

103
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: twenty four.

104
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I mean the franchise tag. I mean,

105
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody be displeased with twenty three million dollars,

106
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 5: but but I mean, like I don't even really really know.

107
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 5: I mean, the franchise tag is like it's like a

108
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 5: tager respect obviously because you get paid in the top five,

109
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 5: like of your position. But do I necessarily want to

110
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: play on one? I wouldn't say necessarily. No, I do

111
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 5: not want to play on a tag. But you can

112
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 5: use that to work towards a long term deal as well.

113
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: What do you like about it? Mayde franchise tag. Let's

114
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: just put a scenario into play boom. They're franchising them.

115
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: Give me the pros and the con of doing that

116
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: with MPJ.

117
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 4: Well, the pros are that you would lock Pittman to

118
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: your team at least for one year and he doesn't

119
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 4: hit the open market. The flip side of that is

120
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: you have to pay him the average of the top

121
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 4: five players at his position, which he just alluded to,

122
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 4: which is a good chunk of coin. Generally, you know,

123
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: players don't like the franchise tag because it impacts their

124
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 4: ability to get maximum money from the open market long term.

125
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: It also forces them to play on a one year

126
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 4: deal where you know, an untimely injury right before hitting

127
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 4: the open market again this time next year in free

128
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 4: agency would negatively impact their long term earnings. The Colts

129
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: haven't used their franchise tag since twenty thirteen. That was

130
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 4: Pat McAfee. But Pittman might be a candidate because you

131
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: don't want him to hit the open market, and you

132
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: can continue to negotiate with a player like Michael Pittman

133
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 4: Junior on a long term deal until the summer, even

134
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 4: if he is franchise tagged in the next couple of weeks.

135
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: Let's listen to the man. Here's Michael Pittman Junior. And

136
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 3: if there's more to his game that can be unlocked.

137
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like they've me to show what

138
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 5: I can do. I mean, obviously there's an aspect like

139
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 5: of my game that I feel like I can show

140
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 5: people as that, like down the field throw and it's

141
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 5: just what type of offense.

142
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: Like we worked this year.

143
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 5: We ran lots of RPOs and and it worked well

144
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 5: for us. And when Anthony gets back, I mean, I mean,

145
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 5: I think our RPO game will probably be the most

146
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 5: dangerous in the NFL. So so like it's not a

147
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: bad thing, you know, I mean a hundred catches and

148
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 5: whatever yards that I finished with, so RPOs can get

149
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 5: it done too.

150
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: I love it. Hey, that's the way he said. He

151
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: said he's already talking in next season sort of form,

152
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: talking about him doubling up with Anthony Richardson and what

153
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: that RPO can be. Speaking of Anthony Richardson, you saw it, fans,

154
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: you heard about it earlier in the week. The young

155
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: man puts out a video. He's down in Jacksonville, Florida.

156
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson is throwing footballs again.

157
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 4: That's great news, great news. Richardson said back in December

158
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: that he was going to be able to start throwing

159
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: sometime in February. It's mid February and he's throwing. Great sign.

160
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 4: It means no setbacks and there's no doubt he's early

161
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 4: on in the recovery process in terms of throwing again,

162
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: but it does mean that he's back on track to

163
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: getting healthy. And he said at the end of the season, Jeffrey,

164
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: had he played a full season, he was kind of

165
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 4: looking forward to taking some time off decompressing a little bit,

166
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: because you really don't have much time between the end

167
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 4: of your last college season and your rookie season in

168
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: the NFL because of the draft process coming in OTAs.

169
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you're just completely thrown to the fire there.

170
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: But because he missed so much time with that shoulder,

171
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 4: he said, quote, I'm pushing it because I'm trying to

172
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: get back. I'm trying to get to the playoffs, get

173
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: to the super Bowl, get some rings. I just want

174
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: to be great for this team. So you love that quote.

175
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 4: You love to hear that. And the goal is to

176
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: get him to be able to throw with all of

177
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: his teammates during OTAs and the mini camp later on

178
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: the spring.

179
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: I love it because he got a taste Matt, that

180
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: Human Highlight film Anthony Richardson, that specimen that like he

181
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: got a taste and all of a sudden taken away

182
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: from him. Be excited about twenty twenty four because him

183
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: with a chip on his shoulder and a nasty little

184
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: swagger coming back with his skill set. Boy, you're talking

185
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: about it. Hey, that's Matt Taylor. Follow him on Twitter

192
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: Sunday eight thirty tip off down at Gamebridge. I would

193
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: go up to check Shaquille O'Neal, who I've done twice

194
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: in my life. I've seen him and just give him

195
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: the all. Hey, big fellow, good to see it, you

196
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

197
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: That's it, just I know's he would just flick you

198
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: away with one one finger get away.

199
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: He's a sweet guy. Had one interaction with him in

200
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: Houston before a Texans game and stuff like that. But

201
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: that's what I'm looking forward to is I will be

202
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: watching the NBA All Star Game and watching the light

203
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: shine on Indianapolis, a basketball craze state.

204
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,119
Speaker 4: I agree with all of that. I'm just excited for Downtown.

205
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: I mean, Downtown needs this. Not to get all political,

206
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 4: but Downtown is taken some heat in the last couple

207
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: of years with COVID. Like most downtowns across the country,

208
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 4: my favorite part of Super Bowl Week in twenty twelve

209
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 4: was the game or the parties. It was just the vibe.

210
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 4: It was the energy downtown. I miss working downtown, love

211
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 4: walking on the Circle, you know, being on Georgia's Street,

212
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 4: you know, kind of bar hopping, going in, going out.

213
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 4: I just love what it means for this city. You know,

214
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 4: the downtown community. Indianapolis kills the Indy five hundred every year.

215
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 4: They killed the final four college football playoffs, Big ten tournaments,

216
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 4: all Star games, now Super Bowls. There's nothing that we

217
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 4: can't do here. So I'm so proud to be from here.

218
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: The Pacers deserve so much credit for this downtown Indy.

219
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: The Sports Corps visit Indy. Just a huge standing ovation

220
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: to all those organizations.

221
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 3: And congratulations to the Pacers for hosting this game. And

222
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: of course the Simon family may take Dwight Franny, newest

223
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We go

224
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 3: over a lot with this man about his time in Indianapolis.

225
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,360

226
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,839

230
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: Oh, welcome to the family.

231
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: We talked Colts football every Friday on the Last Word,

232
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: the offseason radio home of the Colts with Jeffrey Gorman.

233
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: And Matt Taylor from the Indiana Union Construction Industry radio studio.

234
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: That was the newest addition to the Pro Football Hall

235
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: of Fame, Dwight Freeney listening to the good news from

236
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 3: his former head coach Tony Dungee. Okay, don't forget. Freeney

237
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: finished his career with one hundred and twenty five and

238
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 3: a half sacks and forty seven forced fumbles, tied for

239
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: third most all time. He was named All Pro three times,

240
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: selected to seven Pro Bowls, and appeared in three three

241
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: Super Bowls, with one World Championship, obviously from two thousand

242
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 3: and seven with the Colts.

243
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Right here.

244
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: Earlier this week, we caught up with Dwight asking me

245
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 3: about his mental approach to the Hall of Fame this year.

246
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: Was he nervous about the announcement or was he at

247
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: peace with whatever happened.

248
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the second one, Jeff.

249
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 6: It's just after year one of eligibility and I didn't

250
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 6: make it, and I almost made it through that entire

251
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 6: process and not worried about it until guys like Bruce

252
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 6: Smith and Jason Taylor and you know, Michael Strahan would

253
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 6: see me and just say, hey, I just want to

254
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 6: tell you congratulations beforehand you're showing so that that's when

255
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 6: I started feeling like, you know what, actually might have

256
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 6: a chance to be first ballot, you know, and I

257
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 6: and I and I kind of, you know, my emotions

258
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 6: kind of got wrapped up it in a little bit,

259
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 6: which I really don't like because I only like to

260
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 6: worry about things that I.

261
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: Have control over.

262
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 6: I have absolutely no control over who what picks it,

263
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 6: you know, you for a god jacket in a first ballot,

264
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 6: et cetera. So when I didn't make it last year,

265
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 6: I one hundred percent cut myself off from that entire process. Really,

266
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 6: I didn't know who was a semi finalist. I didn't

267
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 6: know who was a finalist with me. The only reason

268
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 6: why I talked about it was because people interviewed me

269
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 6: about it and hey, you know, you're a finalist.

270
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: How does it feel? You know? And that's that, you know,

271
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: I promise you.

272
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 6: I was going about my regular day life on the

273
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 6: golf course, trying to find it because I'm always.

274
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: Hit it in some bushes some forever, and that's just

275
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: what it was, you know, that was my mentality.

276
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 4: Well, d I going along with that great story about

277
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 4: how your wife orchestrated the surprise of you finding out

278
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 4: the news of getting into the Hall of Fame. She

279
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 4: handled all the logistics, all the moving parts, including you,

280
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: moving you to where you needed to go after a

281
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 4: round of golf or before a round of golf. She

282
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 4: was in on it. The Hall of Fame was in

283
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: on it, your good and Michael Jordan was in on it.

284
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: Your former coach, Tony Dungee in on it as well.

285
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 4: How surprised were you when you saw Tony Dungee waiting

286
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: for you with a big grin on his face giving

287
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 4: you the best news of best news.

288
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: Man. They lied to me.

289
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 6: They lied to me, boy, it was it was something else.

290
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 6: And you know I take pride of kind of you know,

291
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 6: knowing what's going on. Sure, and you're not gonna pull off.

292
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 6: You're not gonna pull the fast one over like I'm

293
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 6: gonna kind of like sniff something out.

294
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 7: Man.

295
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: I had no clue. It was my wife lied to

296
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: me all way.

297
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 6: Hey, you know you should drive this car instead of

298
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 6: that car, you know, because you know what's funny is

299
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 6: her and Michael Jordan. You know, they ended up talking

300
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 6: and coming up with this great grand plan.

301
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: So for people who don't know.

302
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 6: You know, I'm a member at the Grove and that's

303
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 6: Michael Jordan's golf course, and his rules are very loose.

304
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 6: You don't really have any rules. You can drive your

305
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 6: golf car pretty much anywhere you want. There's no golf

306
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 6: there's no cart path or.

307
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: Anything like that.

308
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 6: And another rule is you can wear whatever you want

309
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 6: to wear. There's no rules to what you wear. So

310
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 6: you know, I'm wearing a T shirt and shorts and

311
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 6: flip stops and you know, I get his casual.

312
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: You possibly can to kind of take advantage of that

313
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: one rule. Yeah, Well, he and my wife.

314
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 6: Decided to come up with this game plan of hey, look,

315
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 6: mj comes to me and says, hey, I got a

316
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 6: photo shoot for the Grove tomorrow and I really need

317
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 6: you to dress up me and a couple other guys,

318
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 6: and you're going to be in it. I want you

319
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 6: to dress up nice for it. So right then and there,

320
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 6: I'm like, I got dress up.

321
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: She's come on, did you did you think anything was happening.

322
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 6: I'm thinking there's a photo shoot. I'm like, I got

323
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 6: my head down, like I hate photo shoots, and now

324
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 6: it's gonna not gonna dress up and I'm so spoiled

325
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 6: now I can just now I've actually put.

326
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: Golf clothes on.

327
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 6: So I'm like getting to the golf course and I'm

328
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 6: walking by the door. They finally get me to go

329
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 6: inside and never go inside. They finally get me to

330
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 6: go inside, and as I'm walking, my peripheral vision catches

331
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 6: like the silhouette and I swear I saw Coach.

332
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: Deen, but just it's Coach Dungee's doing it.

333
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 6: So I opened the door and there he is sitting there,

334
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 6: standing with a big smile on his face, and everyone

335
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 6: else is behind him smiling and laughing, and I just

336
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 6: I lost it. I mean, I think Tom stood still

337
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 6: in that moment, and I just could not believe what

338
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 6: I was hearing, you know, because remember this was not

339
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 6: even on my radar.

340
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: I just I just completely shut myself off from it.

341
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, it was. It was an amazing, amazing feeling and.

342
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: Moment, amazing right there. Pro Football Hall of Famer Dwight Freedi,

343
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: coach fans, uh, you know, are spoiled here with the

344
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: likes of Manning, Harrison, Edgar and James to name a few.

345
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: I mean that are you know, in the past couple

346
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: of years Adam Ben and Terry is going to be

347
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: another one that's up there. Dwight, if you had to

348
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: look back at your career starting at Syracuse, not not

349
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: when you were a goalie in soccer back in the day,

350
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 3: I'm talking about a little bit after that. When you're

351
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: at Syracuse, did you think, Hey, I'm gonna be a

352
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: high round draft choice in the first round and I'm

353
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: gonna make the Pro Football Hall of Fame just by

354
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: the way that you were playing, which was very successful

355
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: at Syracuse. Obviously your last year there was seventeen and

356
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: a half sex. Did you know what was coming next

357
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: for you or was it like, hey, I'm gonna try

358
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: and go out and make a roster.

359
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you know, truth be told, you know,

360
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 6: I did a great job I think of keeping the

361
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 6: blinders on and staying in the moment, you know, wherever

362
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 6: it was, whatever I was doing, you know, never look

363
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 6: too far in the future, you know, try not to

364
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 6: look too far back on what you did. Stay in

365
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 6: the moment, and you know, the rest will work itself

366
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 6: out wherever it is, you know. So that was kind

367
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 6: of what it was for me when I was at Syracuse.

368
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 6: Just play every play, look at your last play hard.

369
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 6: You know, if you get drafted high, great, you know

370
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 6: it is what it is. You know, obviously you have

371
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 6: aspirations and dreams of being want to be in the NFL.

372
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 6: So that is something that I wanted to happen. But

373
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 6: you know, I wasn't sitting there every game, every day,

374
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 6: every play like I got to make it to the NFL.

375
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 6: I got to make it to the NFL. I gotta

376
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 6: make a play. No, I just went out and played

377
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 6: played hard.

378
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 7: Dwight.

379
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 4: We all know, anybody that has watched you, they know

380
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 4: the spin move absolutely deadly. It was iconic, legendary, synonymous

381
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 4: with you and your career. I know you've been asked

382
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 4: this question before and it dates back to your basketball days.

383
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 4: How did you know the spin move would be so

384
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 4: big for you? And how long did it take for

385
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 4: you to kind of hone it and be comfortable using

386
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 4: it as often as you did?

387
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I was honestly blessed with having awesome,

388
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 6: awesome coaches around me that allowed me to be free

389
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 6: and do to things that that you know I wanted

390
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 6: to do and was able to do.

391
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 2: You know you were coached. Never turn your back to

392
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 2: the quarterback exactly.

393
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 6: That was how you were coached. You know, you would

394
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 6: get yello at that scream that benched if he did it.

395
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 6: And you know, when I was growing up and when

396
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 6: mixtapes that what happens to be a big deal in

397
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 6: the nineties, and that was a huge basketball and every

398
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 6: in every play they basically carried or traveled. It was

399
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 6: like the Harlem gold Trotters. You know, every play is like,

400
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 6: that's not legal. Well, it'll make that defender look silly.

401
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 6: So that was what I wanted to bring to the

402
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 6: game of football. And I was on the practice field

403
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 6: one day and I was trying to find a way

404
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 6: to make this off of the tackle look as silly

405
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 6: as possible. And that is where that developed for me,

406
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 6: is that move where I could make that guy completely

407
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 6: whiff and miss and fall on his face like an

408
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 6: in one mixtape, make him look completely silly and make

409
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 6: him play.

410
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: And I started in high school.

411
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it was primarily used on run plays

412
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 6: because they didn't really pass.

413
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: The ball in high school back in the day, they

414
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: ran every pretty much play.

415
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 6: So but when I got to college, I had a

416
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 6: great coach. Name of my first year was Deeke Pollard

417
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 6: Deep Pollard actually was a coach and coached John Turlink,

418
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 6: soon to be my D line coaches in Indianapolis. So

419
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 6: I had, you know, been blessed with being able to

420
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 6: work these moves and had the freedom to do these

421
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 6: things in college, being coached by a college style D

422
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 6: line coach my first year, and being able to keep

423
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 6: doing those moves repeatedly, repeated, repeatedly.

424
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: Until I got to the pros.

425
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 6: And then that's why John Turling got a hold of me,

426
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 6: and he you know, people who didn't know JT.

427
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: JT didn't care how you got exactly. You could have

428
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: done a somersault, you could have been a backflip. It

429
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 2: didn't matter as long as you got there.

430
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 6: So I really, you know, it was blessing and you know,

431
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 6: and it was kind of drafted at the right time

432
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 6: and in the right place to be able to do

433
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 6: the things that I've always done and they allowed it.

434
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 3: And Dwight that that's something that you can't teach. I know,

435
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: you talk to young defenders that are playing in the

436
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 3: NFL right now, I know that for a fact you

437
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 3: can't teach them a spin move. Your skill set is

438
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 3: so rare that that is something that's yours that you

439
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: use consistently like that, What do you what do you

440
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 3: say to guys when they're like, you know, Michael Parsons

441
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: calls up and says, hey, d you teach me that

442
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 3: spin move? What do you tell them?

443
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 6: Well, you know what I would say. I would say this, Jeff.

444
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 6: I'm not saying you can't teach it. I don't think

445
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 6: it's for everybody. Okay, So, like you know, you got

446
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 6: guys like I don't know Richard dan Or or you know,

447
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 6: Bruce Smith or you know whatever, or Michael Strahan, Reggie White.

448
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 6: I'm not using a hump move. I can't throw a

449
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 6: tackle with my left arm in the air like he's

450
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 6: leaving the door of a fresh prince of bel air

451
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 6: and he got kicked out the door or ejected out

452
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 6: of the club. Let's just say I'm not built that way, okay,

453
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 6: No different than the spin move. Some guys aren't built

454
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 6: that way to be able to do it. And if

455
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 6: you are built that way, some guys don't have the

456
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 6: confidence to do it. So it takes a combination of

457
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 6: two different things. And you know, when I sit there

458
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 6: and watch the game now though, and I always have

459
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 6: a smile on my face because I'm going to see

460
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 6: a spin move.

461
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know where that.

462
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 6: Came from, somewhere on that tree of You know that

463
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 6: he's somewhere there, you know, ancestry tree, whatever you want

464
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 6: to call it.

465
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: There's a route that comes back to me somewhere.

466
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: Well said man, Well.

467
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: That's an awesome feeling.

468
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 6: And I know I left my mark in the game

469
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 6: and that move will go further than my name will last,

470
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 6: you know, maybe you know. And I'm just happy that

471
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 6: I could leave something to this game that's given me everything.

472
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 4: That's Pro Football Hall of Famer Dwight Freeney with us

473
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 4: last couple of things from me, Dwight, you are going

474
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 4: along with that in terms of the everlasting, you know,

475
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 4: mark that you've had on this game. You're the sixth

476
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 4: individual from your era of colts football to join the

477
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame Peyton, Marvin Edge, Tony Bill Pullian. I mean,

478
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna ask you how special is that? And

479
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 4: did you realize in real time, Dwight, how special that

480
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 4: time that era was and how special those teams were

481
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 4: when they were happening.

482
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, So, you know, at first I think that you

483
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 6: realize how blessed you are and lucky you were when

484
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 6: you're you know, playing with you know, those types of

485
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 6: great players.

486
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: And coaches and bills, you know, obviously iconic.

487
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 6: So you know, we we had a lot of wins

488
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 6: and we had a lot of success, and a lot

489
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 6: of those guys had a lot to do with it

490
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 6: and some more to come, okay, And it's a great

491
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 6: feeling now.

492
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: Looking back on it. You know, it's kind of like

493
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: when you were in college.

494
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 6: When we were in college, you didn't realize that was

495
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 6: the best time you a lot.

496
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: Right.

497
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 6: It's similar to that in football, where you know you

498
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 6: got a great team, but you really didn't know how

499
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 6: good you really had it until you were done with

500
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 6: it and you were gone on another team, retiring, et cetera,

501
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 6: and you look back like, man, those were the golden years,

502
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 6: a good old times, good old days, and you sit

503
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 6: there and smile and you left, you know, and it's

504
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 6: just think it's almost impossible to realize it when you're

505
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 6: in it. You just have to once you're out of it,

506
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 6: then you look back and then it really feels good.

507
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 3: Hey, free, you know, you paint a beautiful picture wife,

508
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: two young kids playing golf, with Michael Jordan, pro football

509
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: member of the Hall of Fame. But let's go back

510
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 3: and when do you think about these times? Because I

511
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: saw him, Dwight. I saw you at halftime. I saw

512
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: you before the games, taking tour doll shots just to

513
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,479
Speaker 3: get onto the field. I saw you with ivs in

514
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: your veins just to get on the field. I saw

515
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 3: you not practice all week just so you could play

516
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 3: on Sunday. I saw what your diet consisted of. I

517
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: saw that you only went out one night a week,

518
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: and that was for poker on Monday nights because you

519
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 3: had the rest to get ready for Sunday. Do you

520
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 3: think about that period of your life and how dedicated

521
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 3: you were and how it's changed into retirement the way

522
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 3: that it is sitting back saying, wow, it was all

523
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 3: worth it. But I know it's a tough question because

524
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 3: you put your body through hell.

525
00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 6: Dwight Freebie, Yes, you're right, you know the day I had,

526
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 6: But you know, it's you sit there and when you

527
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 6: get to this level, when you're you know, you get

528
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 6: into the Hall of Fame, you know, not that it

529
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 6: wasn't worth it before. You know, it's just I never

530
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 6: got the call, you know, I know I had a

531
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 6: successful career, and I know that, you know what I sacrificed,

532
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 6: the things that I've done to get here, and I

533
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 6: don't lose sight of that.

534
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: But it is what it is. I did what I did.

535
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 3: You know.

536
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: I've done what I've done, you know.

537
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 6: And it was a lot of work, a lot of

538
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 6: hard work, and a lot of sleepless nights because you

539
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 6: know you're lying in bed.

540
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 2: You don't even know, like, Okay, I can't all on

541
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 2: this side. I love this side. You need to go

542
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: on the right shoulder. Oh, the right shoulders there up. Oh,

543
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, let me sit in the chair. Okay,

544
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 2: I can fall asleep in this chair. You know. It's

545
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: just it's just it's just part of the territory.

546
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 6: It is just something that comes with it. I think

547
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 6: all football players understand that. We don't talk about it

548
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 6: much just because it's it's like, you know, it's like

549
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 6: tying your shoes.

550
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 2: It's like waking up in the morning and eating breakfast.

551
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: It's just like you're gonna you're gonna.

552
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 6: Get hurt, you know, that's one thing that's guaranteed, and

553
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 6: you have to find a way to mend yourself. So

554
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 6: that you can go out and break yourself again and

555
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 6: put it back together. You know, it's like humpty dumpty,

556
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 6: you know, put yourself back to together, just so you

557
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 6: can have that little moment of success and then you

558
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 6: and then you have another car accident.

559
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: Another bar fight. You're right. Love those Thursday night games too, boy,

560
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: those are I know you.

561
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't even walk on Wednesday, and somehow you're

562
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 6: supposed to play on Thursday.

563
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: So if anybody listening.

564
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 6: Ever just pay attention to the injury list after a

565
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 6: Thursday night game. It's like a dictionary I have the

566
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 6: team's going to be on that injury.

567
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: I love it. Hey, Dwight, we're got we gotta ask

568
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: about Reggie Wayne. What is going on with eighty seven?

569
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, he's eligible. He's been there a

570
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: couple of times, been a finalist and something, but this

571
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: would be really the icing on the cake if we

572
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: can get him in. Do you have any any feelings

573
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 3: on that as a member of the Pro Football Hall

574
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: of Fame and what Reggie meant to the team.

575
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I feel for Reggie.

576
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 6: Reggie was an awesome player, you know, all of his

577
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 6: years and.

578
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 2: Like I said in the beginning of this.

579
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 6: You know, you try to only worry about things you

580
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 6: can control and you try not to care. But this

581
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 6: thing means so much and it sucks in a way

582
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 6: that you have no control over something that means so

583
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 6: much to your career. And from a validation standpoint, Reggie's

584
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 6: gonna get in without a doubt. There's no doubt in

585
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 6: my mind now when that is, I have absolutely no clue,

586
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 6: all right, And you know it must be tough for

587
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 6: Reggie just dealing with that year in and year out.

588
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 6: But I bet you he's taking some of the you know,

589
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 6: I guess he's been doing more than I have. But

590
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 6: he's taking probably the same method that I'm kind of

591
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 6: taking it where And look, if they call me, they

592
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 6: call me, they don't, they don't. I'm just going to

593
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 6: keep it mar And that's the only way you can

594
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 6: do it. What choice does he have. You know, he's

595
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 6: going to just keep on keeping on. You know, he's

596
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 6: done a great job coaching and continue doing those things

597
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 6: and just hey, if they call you, they call you, you know,

598
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 6: and for us all the famers, now it's funny, like

599
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 6: can actually say that is that is that.

600
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: You know you're when you're a first ballot. That's really

601
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: the only time where you like, you know, what people

602
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 2: talk about you are a first ballot Hall of Fame.

603
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 6: So if you're not a first ballot, no one talks about.

604
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: What ballot you are after that, Yeah, right right.

605
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 6: No one says, oh, he's a third ballot Hall of

606
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 6: Famer or you don't know if the cheer laugh yeah,

607
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 6: or say ah, I wish I was first, you know,

608
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 6: but it's just that's just what it is. So for

609
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 6: me and talking about Reggie, he's going to get in.

610
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 6: It's just a matter of when. And when it gets in,

611
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 6: no one's going to care whether it was, you know, whatever,

612
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 6: year six, year seven, or whatever. He's one of us

613
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 6: and he's going to be, you know, a Hall of

614
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 6: Famer at some point, hopefully as soon then later.

Speaker 3: the kind of guy that you are off the field,

639

640
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: fun talking about those rounds at the grove with Michael

642
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: it didn't ever mattered after practice if I had a

643
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 3: request from somebody, if there was a sick child, somewhere

644
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 3: down at one of the kids' hospitals, and I said, hey, free,

645
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: you got an extra pair of gloves, there's a kid

646
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 3: down there we're gonna send them to. Not only would

647
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: you do that, but you'd sign your autograph, you'd ask

648
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 3: for the kid's name, and you'd throw in a pair

649
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 3: of cleats for them too, now and again, anything to

650
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 3: make it happen. And I just want to express that

651
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 3: there's a lot of guys we'd run across through the years,

652
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 3: a few of them walk the walk, and you were

653
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 3: one of those guys that did that. So I appreciated

654
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: your career and the man you are off the field

655
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,920
