1
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,706
Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schrager is a production of the

2
00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:23,786
Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, Everybody, Welcome to

3
00:00:23,826 --> 00:00:26,946
Speaker 1: the Season with Peter Schrager. Training camps are here, all

4
00:00:26,986 --> 00:00:28,466
Speaker 1: thirty two teams reporting.

5
00:00:28,466 --> 00:00:31,986
Speaker 2: We've got actual football going on. And as I.

6
00:00:31,986 --> 00:00:37,186
Speaker 1: Record this in Hot Balmy, New York City, Saquon Barkley

7
00:00:37,266 --> 00:00:40,346
Speaker 1: will not miss a single practice of training camp because

8
00:00:40,386 --> 00:00:44,986
Speaker 1: he is already there in East Rutherford signing a very rare,

9
00:00:45,946 --> 00:00:50,466
Speaker 1: very interesting, one year deal despite being put on the

10
00:00:50,506 --> 00:00:53,786
Speaker 1: franchise tag. I didn't even I gotta put my hand

11
00:00:53,826 --> 00:00:56,146
Speaker 1: up here. I'm on Live TV when it happened. I

12
00:00:56,186 --> 00:00:58,346
Speaker 1: didn't know it was even a possibility they could do that.

13
00:00:58,466 --> 00:01:00,506
Speaker 1: When my co host Jamie rdaul is like, we got

14
00:01:00,506 --> 00:01:02,506
Speaker 1: breaking news, Saquon's agree.

15
00:01:02,266 --> 00:01:03,986
Speaker 2: To terms, I'm like a cree to terms to what

16
00:01:04,786 --> 00:01:05,146
Speaker 2: I thought.

17
00:01:05,186 --> 00:01:07,746
Speaker 1: It was just you can play on the franchise tag

18
00:01:07,986 --> 00:01:10,186
Speaker 1: or you can sit out the season. Turns out there

19
00:01:10,266 --> 00:01:13,546
Speaker 1: is a loophole and the Giants and Joe Shane found

20
00:01:13,546 --> 00:01:17,266
Speaker 1: that loophole where it's a one year deal, and there's

21
00:01:17,266 --> 00:01:20,106
Speaker 1: been a lot of confusion on the incentives on how.

22
00:01:19,986 --> 00:01:20,586
Speaker 2: It all works.

23
00:01:20,626 --> 00:01:23,946
Speaker 1: But from my understanding right now, he has to hit

24
00:01:24,066 --> 00:01:27,906
Speaker 1: three different numbers tied to playoffs to hit these incentives

25
00:01:28,386 --> 00:01:30,986
Speaker 1: so that he can make some sort of incentive of

26
00:01:31,266 --> 00:01:34,146
Speaker 1: about three hundred thousand dollars each for the three incentives.

27
00:01:34,186 --> 00:01:36,906
Speaker 1: So from what I'm gathering, and again this is in

28
00:01:37,066 --> 00:01:41,546
Speaker 1: real time, if he has thirteen fifty rushing yards soud

29
00:01:41,586 --> 00:01:43,746
Speaker 1: three and fifty rushing yards and they make the playoffs,

30
00:01:43,746 --> 00:01:46,106
Speaker 1: he gets an extra three hundred K. If he has

31
00:01:46,146 --> 00:01:48,466
Speaker 1: sixty five catches and they make the playoffs, he gets

32
00:01:48,506 --> 00:01:50,946
Speaker 1: an extra three hundred K. And if he's eleven total

33
00:01:50,986 --> 00:01:53,466
Speaker 1: touchdowns and the playoffs, he gets an extra three hundred K.

34
00:01:54,026 --> 00:01:54,706
Speaker 2: So when it's all.

35
00:01:54,626 --> 00:01:57,186
Speaker 1: Set and done for you number guys out there in Gals,

36
00:01:57,306 --> 00:02:00,106
Speaker 1: Saquon has a deal with the Giants that'll be worth

37
00:02:00,226 --> 00:02:03,586
Speaker 1: ten point one million guaranteed. He gets two million right

38
00:02:03,666 --> 00:02:06,826
Speaker 1: up front, and then there's those incentives and get if

39
00:02:06,866 --> 00:02:08,506
Speaker 1: they make the playoffs and he hits those things, so

40
00:02:08,546 --> 00:02:11,186
Speaker 1: he could actually make more than what was the ten

41
00:02:11,226 --> 00:02:14,346
Speaker 1: million dollar on the franchise tag that he would have

42
00:02:14,386 --> 00:02:14,866
Speaker 1: played under.

43
00:02:14,946 --> 00:02:16,866
Speaker 2: It's look, it's a.

44
00:02:16,826 --> 00:02:19,266
Speaker 1: Couple things, and we've talked about a lot about the

45
00:02:19,306 --> 00:02:21,706
Speaker 1: running back position here on this podcast. But it's not

46
00:02:21,866 --> 00:02:24,346
Speaker 1: great for the position and it's not great for Saquon.

47
00:02:24,666 --> 00:02:27,746
Speaker 1: But he does get to play for the New York Giants,

48
00:02:27,786 --> 00:02:30,186
Speaker 1: he does get to be there at training camp, and

49
00:02:30,226 --> 00:02:34,386
Speaker 1: he does ideally get to hit free agency again next year.

50
00:02:34,546 --> 00:02:37,226
Speaker 1: Now they do have the right to franchise tag him again,

51
00:02:37,386 --> 00:02:40,346
Speaker 1: which they might do, but at this point, he had

52
00:02:40,546 --> 00:02:44,226
Speaker 1: no other options than this or just not play and

53
00:02:44,266 --> 00:02:46,306
Speaker 1: not show up. And I think there's something real to

54
00:02:46,346 --> 00:02:50,666
Speaker 1: Saquon and it's me coming from a very maybe Pollyanna place.

55
00:02:50,866 --> 00:02:53,666
Speaker 1: Like he loves being a New York Giant. He loves

56
00:02:53,746 --> 00:02:56,146
Speaker 1: seeing that every kid's wearing his jersey. He loves that

57
00:02:56,226 --> 00:02:59,066
Speaker 1: he is a hero to all of these fans and

58
00:02:59,226 --> 00:03:02,866
Speaker 1: is so beloved by the Giants faithful that, Like, I.

59
00:03:02,826 --> 00:03:04,546
Speaker 2: Don't think he wanted to miss anything.

60
00:03:04,586 --> 00:03:06,586
Speaker 1: And so at the end of the day, yeah, we

61
00:03:06,626 --> 00:03:08,106
Speaker 1: can go back and say he should have accepted a

62
00:03:08,146 --> 00:03:10,866
Speaker 1: contract that was offered you know that y'uring the bye

63
00:03:10,866 --> 00:03:12,466
Speaker 1: week that would have paid him more. Great, he would

64
00:03:12,466 --> 00:03:13,946
Speaker 1: have made a couple more million dollars.

65
00:03:14,026 --> 00:03:14,906
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would.

66
00:03:14,746 --> 00:03:17,146
Speaker 1: Have been better off if he accepted their initial free

67
00:03:17,146 --> 00:03:21,466
Speaker 1: agent offer before the you know, time for an extension surpassed. Yeah,

68
00:03:21,586 --> 00:03:23,626
Speaker 1: he might have been better off financially, but at the

69
00:03:23,666 --> 00:03:25,306
Speaker 1: end of the day, he is here and that's where

70
00:03:25,306 --> 00:03:26,346
Speaker 1: he can kind of bank on that.

71
00:03:26,386 --> 00:03:28,426
Speaker 2: And I think it was bleak. It was a bleak

72
00:03:28,506 --> 00:03:30,426
Speaker 2: situation for Sequon. He was in a corner.

73
00:03:30,746 --> 00:03:33,226
Speaker 1: And you're talking about running back zoom calls, You're talking

74
00:03:33,226 --> 00:03:35,426
Speaker 1: about running back salaries just going down and down.

75
00:03:35,426 --> 00:03:37,626
Speaker 2: You're talking about Dalvin Cook being a free agent.

76
00:03:37,426 --> 00:03:40,306
Speaker 1: Still talking about Ezekiel Elliott being a free agent, still

77
00:03:40,586 --> 00:03:42,906
Speaker 1: talking about James Robinson being signed by the Giants a

78
00:03:42,946 --> 00:03:43,786
Speaker 1: couple of days ago.

79
00:03:44,546 --> 00:03:46,106
Speaker 2: And it's not like Dames.

80
00:03:45,906 --> 00:03:47,866
Speaker 1: James Roninson's not going to run hard and try to

81
00:03:47,906 --> 00:03:50,466
Speaker 1: take all of Saquon's you know, carries an opportunities for

82
00:03:50,546 --> 00:03:54,506
Speaker 1: the spotlight, while Saquon's out look not ideal for Saquon.

83
00:03:54,706 --> 00:03:57,426
Speaker 2: But tip the cap to both sides for getting it done.

84
00:03:57,466 --> 00:04:00,426
Speaker 1: And I got to say, Joe Shane at the end

85
00:04:00,426 --> 00:04:03,066
Speaker 1: of this thing, as unpleasant as this might have been

86
00:04:03,146 --> 00:04:05,066
Speaker 1: and as easy as it might have been to go

87
00:04:05,106 --> 00:04:07,866
Speaker 1: a different way, you have to say that Joe Shane.

88
00:04:08,146 --> 00:04:09,866
Speaker 1: You know, if there's a winner and a loser here,

89
00:04:09,946 --> 00:04:11,546
Speaker 1: Joe Shane is the winner.

90
00:04:11,586 --> 00:04:12,106
Speaker 2: On this one.

91
00:04:12,426 --> 00:04:15,106
Speaker 1: I have to think that getting it to this point

92
00:04:15,186 --> 00:04:18,546
Speaker 1: and getting Saquon in camp and not having to, you know,

93
00:04:18,866 --> 00:04:22,026
Speaker 1: deal with this all summer long of where Saquon wednsdays

94
00:04:22,026 --> 00:04:25,546
Speaker 1: showing up on a major win, and of course the

95
00:04:25,626 --> 00:04:29,346
Speaker 1: Giants are much better team with Saquon Barkley. Real quick,

96
00:04:29,426 --> 00:04:32,946
Speaker 1: some housekeeping here, thirty two teams are in camp. I

97
00:04:32,986 --> 00:04:35,226
Speaker 1: work for the NFL Network, but I also work for

98
00:04:35,386 --> 00:04:39,706

Speaker 1: I can fit in it, or I'll be.

155
00:07:19,386 --> 00:07:21,586
Speaker 2: Wearing something else. We'll see. It's been a big summer

Speaker 2: for me. I've been enjoying the barbecues.

157
00:07:23,866 --> 00:07:27,066

184
00:08:47,266 --> 00:08:48,026
Speaker 1: Peter Schreeger.

185
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:51,146
Speaker 3: Peter Schreger. What's up, my man? How you doing?

186
00:08:51,546 --> 00:08:52,306
Speaker 2: I'm doing good, bro.

187
00:08:52,426 --> 00:08:55,986
Speaker 1: Like we're starting off right now with this podcast and

188
00:08:56,026 --> 00:08:57,266
Speaker 1: training camps are opening.

189
00:08:57,586 --> 00:08:59,066
Speaker 2: When you see, like even.

190
00:08:58,906 --> 00:09:02,746
Speaker 1: Periphery wise on Twitter or on your TV, that guys

191
00:09:02,746 --> 00:09:05,106
Speaker 1: are reporting to camp and knowing you don't have to,

192
00:09:05,386 --> 00:09:08,106
Speaker 1: is that a great relief? Do you miss like the

193
00:09:08,146 --> 00:09:09,386
Speaker 1: first day of camp that was fun.

194
00:09:09,506 --> 00:09:11,546
Speaker 4: No, it's the best relief I can tell you that

195
00:09:11,666 --> 00:09:14,186
Speaker 4: right now. I believe that training camp is too long,

196
00:09:14,386 --> 00:09:15,546
Speaker 4: especially for veterans.

197
00:09:16,146 --> 00:09:17,226
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that.

198
00:09:17,266 --> 00:09:20,106
Speaker 4: You're in training camp July twenty fifth, and the first

199
00:09:20,186 --> 00:09:23,866
Speaker 4: game isn't until September tenth or September eighth, or or

200
00:09:24,106 --> 00:09:26,826
Speaker 4: whenever that is, and for a veteran, training camp just

201
00:09:27,146 --> 00:09:30,306
Speaker 4: can become drooling throughout that whole time and you're just

202
00:09:30,386 --> 00:09:31,306
Speaker 4: waiting for the game.

203
00:09:31,906 --> 00:09:34,466
Speaker 3: But listen to this Blaine Gabber.

204
00:09:34,626 --> 00:09:36,706
Speaker 4: I was working out with him down in Florida in

205
00:09:36,746 --> 00:09:40,346
Speaker 4: Tampa about two weeks ago or ten days ago, and

206
00:09:40,866 --> 00:09:44,026
Speaker 4: we're hanging out, we're bsing, we're messing around.

207
00:09:44,466 --> 00:09:45,786
Speaker 3: And then three.

208
00:09:45,626 --> 00:09:48,226
Speaker 4: Days later, I'm on Instagram and I look at his

209
00:09:48,306 --> 00:09:51,506
Speaker 4: story and it's him at training camp and this is

210
00:09:51,586 --> 00:09:54,386
Speaker 4: like a week ago now, and I'm like, bro, how

211
00:09:54,426 --> 00:09:57,106
Speaker 4: are you already at training camp. He's like, yo, man,

212
00:09:57,186 --> 00:09:59,186
Speaker 4: we have the early game, we have the Hall of

213
00:09:59,226 --> 00:10:02,946
Speaker 4: Fame game or whatever game that is, and we already reported.

214
00:10:02,986 --> 00:10:04,666
Speaker 4: And my mind was just blown. I was like, oh

215
00:10:04,706 --> 00:10:07,026
Speaker 4: my gosh, I'm so glad I'm not at training camp

216
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:07,506
Speaker 4: right now.

217
00:10:07,826 --> 00:10:08,466
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

218
00:10:08,666 --> 00:10:11,506
Speaker 1: Like the Jets guys I know them well, and they're like, yeah,

219
00:10:11,506 --> 00:10:14,186
Speaker 1: we've got I was still on the beach there, like, yeah,

220
00:10:14,186 --> 00:10:17,026
Speaker 1: we've got practice today, like practice, Yeah, they've got the

221
00:10:17,066 --> 00:10:18,706
Speaker 1: training of the Hall of Fame game, and they've got

222
00:10:18,746 --> 00:10:19,426
Speaker 1: to be there early.

223
00:10:19,666 --> 00:10:21,826
Speaker 4: I mean, we're dreading it right now. But if you

224
00:10:21,946 --> 00:10:24,226
Speaker 4: love it, then it's great. I mean, I don't love

225
00:10:24,226 --> 00:10:26,426
Speaker 4: training camp. I'm not a guy that loved training camp.

226
00:10:26,466 --> 00:10:28,546
Speaker 4: I mean, I believe that training camp was like four

227
00:10:28,626 --> 00:10:30,386
Speaker 4: days on hid like two days off.

228
00:10:30,666 --> 00:10:32,906
Speaker 3: It's just you just beat yourself like a dead horse.

229
00:10:32,946 --> 00:10:35,826
Speaker 4: You're just running into the defensive end every single day,

230
00:10:35,826 --> 00:10:38,186
Speaker 4: and your head's just getting numb, your body's getting numb.

231
00:10:38,266 --> 00:10:40,746
Speaker 4: And that's why I don't like training camp had just

232
00:10:40,786 --> 00:10:44,186
Speaker 4: started now and then it was kind of more strategic planning,

233
00:10:44,426 --> 00:10:46,506
Speaker 4: like all right, we're going to hit today hardcore and

234
00:10:46,506 --> 00:10:48,226
Speaker 4: then we're going to recover for todays. We're going to

235
00:10:48,306 --> 00:10:50,226
Speaker 4: just do seven on seven the next day or whatever.

236
00:10:50,586 --> 00:10:53,106
Speaker 4: But it was just boom, boom boom in my head

237
00:10:53,226 --> 00:10:55,266
Speaker 4: my body. It's like it's felt like I was at

238
00:10:55,266 --> 00:10:56,946
Speaker 4: the end of the season when I was when I

239
00:10:56,986 --> 00:10:58,946
Speaker 4: was in the middle of training camp then beginning of

240
00:10:58,986 --> 00:11:01,186
Speaker 4: the season. But if you love football and you love

241
00:11:01,266 --> 00:11:04,146
Speaker 4: doing that, well, then you're in the right spot.

242
00:11:04,706 --> 00:11:06,866
Speaker 2: I guess. I mean, if you love it, you're gonna love,

243
00:11:06,906 --> 00:11:09,866
Speaker 2: You're gonna play anyway. What's life for you like now?

244
00:11:10,066 --> 00:11:13,346
Speaker 1: I think I actually I've you know, for the listeners,

245
00:11:13,386 --> 00:11:14,986
Speaker 1: we really had a great time a couple of weeks ago.

246
00:11:14,986 --> 00:11:16,986
Speaker 1: You're working for Fox. I know that's during the season. Like,

247
00:11:17,026 --> 00:11:19,346
Speaker 1: what's a day like Rob Gronkowski. I know you've got

248
00:11:19,386 --> 00:11:21,906
Speaker 1: other business ventures going on, but I think of you

249
00:11:21,906 --> 00:11:25,386
Speaker 1: as one of the toughest, most all around dominant football players,

250
00:11:25,466 --> 00:11:27,426
Speaker 1: none of your generation of all time. And I'm not

251
00:11:27,546 --> 00:11:29,306
Speaker 1: just you know, blowing you up because you're on this

252
00:11:29,346 --> 00:11:32,146
Speaker 1: I think everyone would agree that you have that. But then, okay,

253
00:11:32,226 --> 00:11:35,066
Speaker 1: you're guy in your thirties now and football's in.

254
00:11:34,826 --> 00:11:37,426
Speaker 2: The rear view. What's the day to day for Rob Gronkowski?

255
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:39,786
Speaker 4: Yes, Well, first off, I love to stay in shape.

Speaker 4: I love the exercise still. I've been exercising since I

257
00:11:42,346 --> 00:11:44,906
Speaker 4: was a kid, and the best way to get in

258
00:11:44,946 --> 00:11:46,186
Speaker 4: shape is to stay in shape.

00:13:48,386 --> 00:13:50,066
Speaker 4: Room feel, and that's what it's about, and that's why

314
00:13:50,106 --> 00:13:51,026
Speaker 4: I love doing it still.

315
00:13:51,586 --> 00:13:52,106
Speaker 2: I love it.

316
00:13:52,786 --> 00:13:56,106
Speaker 1: I always loved watching you from afar when you were

317
00:13:56,106 --> 00:13:58,426
Speaker 1: in New England because you had this personality and yet

318
00:13:58,426 --> 00:14:00,506
Speaker 1: when it was time to work within the system of

319
00:14:00,546 --> 00:14:02,706
Speaker 1: Belichick and kind of get down to the business, you

320
00:14:02,746 --> 00:14:05,506
Speaker 1: got down to business and whereas dedicated to the craft

321
00:14:05,546 --> 00:14:08,986
Speaker 1: and to the Patriot as anybody in an off season,

322
00:14:09,026 --> 00:14:11,426
Speaker 1: you'd be like doing commercials and you'd be having fun,

323
00:14:11,466 --> 00:14:13,586
Speaker 1: and you'd be at these different events and it's.

324
00:14:13,426 --> 00:14:17,426
Speaker 2: Like, Okay, this guy, he gets it to turn it

325
00:14:17,466 --> 00:14:18,186
Speaker 2: on and turn it off.

326
00:14:18,226 --> 00:14:19,586
Speaker 1: Was that how it felt, or when you were with

327
00:14:19,666 --> 00:14:23,146
Speaker 1: Belichick and it's so strict and it's so disciplined, did

328
00:14:23,186 --> 00:14:25,186
Speaker 1: you feel like you can still be yourself and be authentic.

329
00:14:25,226 --> 00:14:28,786
Speaker 1: It's just as not necessarily as wild crazy, but hey,

330
00:14:29,026 --> 00:14:30,746
Speaker 1: I got to get down to business as football time.

331
00:14:31,186 --> 00:14:33,826
Speaker 4: No, it definitely had to get down the business when

332
00:14:33,826 --> 00:14:35,586
Speaker 4: it became football time. I mean, if you want to

333
00:14:35,586 --> 00:14:39,546
Speaker 4: have your fun and be doing commercials, be going to

334
00:14:39,586 --> 00:14:41,946
Speaker 4: a party, being all over the place, you.

335
00:14:41,986 --> 00:14:43,866
Speaker 3: Have to show up. And that's what it's about.

336
00:14:43,866 --> 00:14:46,026
Speaker 4: And I knew in my mind the whole entire time

337
00:14:46,266 --> 00:14:48,546
Speaker 4: that whatever it was, if it was an OTA, if

338
00:14:48,586 --> 00:14:51,066
Speaker 4: it was training camp during the season, that I had

339
00:14:51,106 --> 00:14:53,506
Speaker 4: to show up if I wanted to keep that train going,

340
00:14:53,746 --> 00:14:56,786
Speaker 4: keep that fun train going, keep those shoots going, or

341
00:14:56,826 --> 00:14:58,946
Speaker 4: whatever I was doing, or go to that event. And

342
00:14:59,706 --> 00:15:02,706
Speaker 4: I'm so glad I did that all, especially in my twenties.

343
00:15:02,786 --> 00:15:05,546
Speaker 4: I mean to me, going to an event, going to

344
00:15:05,586 --> 00:15:08,906
Speaker 4: a party. Now thirties, it's like whatever, And I'm glad

345
00:15:08,946 --> 00:15:11,186
Speaker 4: I did all my twenties. When I was young, when

346
00:15:11,226 --> 00:15:14,146
Speaker 4: you could wake up, you can recover from just four

347
00:15:14,146 --> 00:15:15,386
Speaker 4: hours of sleep.

348
00:15:15,386 --> 00:15:15,826
Speaker 3: All that.

349
00:15:15,906 --> 00:15:18,666
Speaker 4: But I had to dedicate. I had to be dedicated

350
00:15:18,666 --> 00:15:21,586
Speaker 4: to my craft when I was with the New England Patriots,

351
00:15:21,586 --> 00:15:24,066
Speaker 4: because if I wasn't if I was showing up to practice,

352
00:15:24,146 --> 00:15:27,986
Speaker 4: if I wasn't ready to go, if I was you know,

353
00:15:28,186 --> 00:15:31,146
Speaker 4: missing out, misdropping balls, all that, all that bad stuff,

354
00:15:31,186 --> 00:15:33,746
Speaker 4: then it would have never worked, no doubt. I would

355
00:15:33,786 --> 00:15:35,746
Speaker 4: have been out of there in no time. But I

356
00:15:35,746 --> 00:15:37,826
Speaker 4: always made sure I always had a strategic plan. If

357
00:15:37,826 --> 00:15:39,346
Speaker 4: I was going to have some fun, go out, go

358
00:15:39,426 --> 00:15:42,146
Speaker 4: do whatever, that I made sure that it fit my

359
00:15:42,186 --> 00:15:44,586
Speaker 4: schedule right, that I was still ready to go when

360
00:15:44,586 --> 00:15:46,306
Speaker 4: I showed up in that building.

361
00:15:46,866 --> 00:15:49,266
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I feel like you said, like a wiser,

362
00:15:49,586 --> 00:15:52,946
Speaker 1: more more experienced Rob Gronkowski right now, like you're looking

363
00:15:52,986 --> 00:15:54,746
Speaker 1: back on your younger self saying I'm glad.

364
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:56,106
Speaker 2: I did it when I did it, because I probably wouldn't

365
00:15:56,106 --> 00:15:58,706
Speaker 2: want to do it now. And yet you still do

366
00:15:58,746 --> 00:16:00,826
Speaker 2: the Gronk beach party at Super Bowl. You still do

367
00:16:00,866 --> 00:16:02,786
Speaker 2: all these things, Like I think.

368
00:16:02,586 --> 00:16:05,066
Speaker 1: It's amazing because this persona that you have as like,

369
00:16:05,426 --> 00:16:07,866
Speaker 1: you know, Gronk, this fun. But then on the football field,

370
00:16:07,866 --> 00:16:10,626
Speaker 1: you're an absolute badass, throwing guys around, run blocking the

371
00:16:10,626 --> 00:16:14,586
Speaker 1: most like selfless thing to do. I guess that was

372
00:16:14,626 --> 00:16:16,466
Speaker 1: my question, really, like the turning it on and then

373
00:16:16,506 --> 00:16:18,746
Speaker 1: turning it off and then knowing that, hey, I'm doing

374
00:16:18,746 --> 00:16:20,906
Speaker 1: some of the dirty work here also, Yeah.

375
00:16:20,826 --> 00:16:23,626
Speaker 4: Exactly, the dirty work actually made me who I am.

376
00:16:23,666 --> 00:16:27,386
Speaker 3: I believe it actually helped me out to be.

377
00:16:27,506 --> 00:16:29,986
Speaker 4: The guy that I was off the field as well,

378
00:16:30,066 --> 00:16:31,386
Speaker 4: because I was doing the dirty work.

379
00:16:31,426 --> 00:16:32,666
Speaker 3: I'm here to do all the work.

380
00:16:32,706 --> 00:16:36,466
Speaker 4: I'm here to accomplish everything I need to accomplish, no

381
00:16:36,506 --> 00:16:38,586
Speaker 4: matter what it was or whatever the task was.

382
00:16:38,986 --> 00:16:41,346
Speaker 3: And I'm here to be the full package.

383
00:16:41,386 --> 00:16:43,506
Speaker 4: I'm not just here to go out and catch a ball,

384
00:16:43,586 --> 00:16:45,626
Speaker 4: make a play, score a touchdown. I'm here to do

385
00:16:45,986 --> 00:16:48,266
Speaker 4: get some blocks for the running back to open up

386
00:16:48,266 --> 00:16:49,586
Speaker 4: a hole so he can run into.

387
00:16:49,386 --> 00:16:50,026
Speaker 3: The end zone.

388
00:16:50,626 --> 00:16:53,026
Speaker 4: And then also off the field, go enjoy my time,

389
00:16:53,106 --> 00:16:55,226
Speaker 4: go to a party, go to an event, go do whatever.

390
00:16:55,266 --> 00:16:57,826
Speaker 4: I was just a full, total package, Peter, and that's

391
00:16:57,906 --> 00:16:58,426
Speaker 4: what's up.

392
00:16:59,866 --> 00:17:01,826
Speaker 2: I love it, dude.

393
00:17:01,866 --> 00:17:04,026
Speaker 1: I mean people look at you and say this great career,

394
00:17:04,026 --> 00:17:06,306
Speaker 1: but you face so much adversity too because of some

395
00:17:06,506 --> 00:17:08,666
Speaker 1: the body stuff and the injuries. I remember coming out

396
00:17:08,706 --> 00:17:11,106
Speaker 1: of college, you didn't even play that final year at

397
00:17:11,146 --> 00:17:13,346
Speaker 1: Arizona because of the injury, and then you get drafted

398
00:17:13,346 --> 00:17:14,306
Speaker 1: in what the second round?

399
00:17:14,426 --> 00:17:16,786
Speaker 3: I believe, Yeah, I got drafted in the second Yep.

400
00:17:17,146 --> 00:17:19,426
Speaker 1: How'd you use that as fuel to kind of motivate

401
00:17:19,466 --> 00:17:22,066
Speaker 1: you and inspire you? And then of course always guys

402
00:17:22,106 --> 00:17:23,746
Speaker 1: coming for you in the NFL. I mean, I just

403
00:17:23,786 --> 00:17:26,106
Speaker 1: remember you carrying four dudes on your back with all that,

404
00:17:26,146 --> 00:17:29,066
Speaker 1: and just like you just were a gamer. How did

405
00:17:29,066 --> 00:17:31,266
Speaker 1: you use the injury in college to motivate you once

406
00:17:31,306 --> 00:17:32,146
Speaker 1: you got to the pros?

407
00:17:32,786 --> 00:17:32,906
Speaker 4: Uh?

408
00:17:33,026 --> 00:17:34,946
Speaker 3: You know, once I dropped in the second round.

409
00:17:35,026 --> 00:17:36,866
Speaker 4: I remember I didn't get drafted in the first round.

410
00:17:36,906 --> 00:17:39,826
Speaker 4: I was really disappointed. I was pissed off, you know,

411
00:17:40,306 --> 00:17:42,546
Speaker 4: like I wasn't in the best mood. And then I

412
00:17:42,546 --> 00:17:44,266
Speaker 4: can tell you this, once I got drafted in the

413
00:17:44,266 --> 00:17:46,906
Speaker 4: second round, all that went away. I didn't care anymore.

414
00:17:46,946 --> 00:17:48,986
Speaker 4: I was just so glad that I accomplished my dream.

415
00:17:48,986 --> 00:17:50,906
Speaker 4: Why would I be pissed off I didn't go in

416
00:17:50,906 --> 00:17:52,866
Speaker 4: the first round when I just got drafted in the

417
00:17:52,986 --> 00:17:57,266
Speaker 4: NFL in the second round, you know, coming off of

418
00:17:57,306 --> 00:17:59,306
Speaker 4: a season where I didn't even play in college. I

419
00:17:59,426 --> 00:18:01,506
Speaker 4: was it was one of the best moments of my life,

420
00:18:01,546 --> 00:18:03,786
Speaker 4: if not the best moment of my life when I

421
00:18:03,826 --> 00:18:08,306
Speaker 4: got drafted. And then therefore I that motivation of not

422
00:18:08,346 --> 00:18:10,306
Speaker 4: getting picked the night before, I didn't really care. I

423
00:18:10,346 --> 00:18:13,066
Speaker 4: was just so happy I was picked in the second round.

424
00:18:13,186 --> 00:18:15,426
Speaker 4: I was just so glad I was just picked, you know,

425
00:18:15,466 --> 00:18:18,626
Speaker 4: in the NFL draft, just overall. And then from there

426
00:18:19,106 --> 00:18:21,906
Speaker 4: I just knew I didn't really have any motivation because

427
00:18:22,106 --> 00:18:24,346
Speaker 4: of that, Oh I wasn't a first rounder. It was like,

428
00:18:24,386 --> 00:18:26,186
Speaker 4: all right, it's time to show them what's up. Like

429
00:18:26,226 --> 00:18:28,226
Speaker 4: I have that motivation to be great now, you know,

430
00:18:28,346 --> 00:18:30,106
Speaker 4: to fit in the locker room, to get that respect

431
00:18:30,106 --> 00:18:31,666
Speaker 4: for my teammates.

432
00:18:32,146 --> 00:18:33,226
Speaker 2: You had a great rookie year.

433
00:18:33,226 --> 00:18:35,386
Speaker 1: You had three touchdown catches against the Steelers in a

434
00:18:35,386 --> 00:18:37,106
Speaker 1: game I remember. But then I go to the postseason

435
00:18:37,186 --> 00:18:40,746
Speaker 1: twenty eleven. You guys are playing t Bow and the Broncos,

436
00:18:40,986 --> 00:18:43,146
Speaker 1: and you guys just blow them out in a Saturday

437
00:18:43,186 --> 00:18:45,506
Speaker 1: night game, and that was, to me, your big coming

438
00:18:45,546 --> 00:18:48,986
Speaker 1: out party. You had three touchdown pass catches, you had

439
00:18:49,026 --> 00:18:50,306
Speaker 1: ten catches, one hundred.

440
00:18:50,026 --> 00:18:52,146
Speaker 2: And forty five yards. Do you remember that as like

441
00:18:52,186 --> 00:18:53,066
Speaker 2: the coming out party.

442
00:18:53,106 --> 00:18:55,746
Speaker 1: Okay, Saturday night game, everyone's in t bow Mania and

443
00:18:56,066 --> 00:18:57,506
Speaker 1: we're going to go kick the crap out of them.

444
00:18:57,786 --> 00:18:59,866
Speaker 3: It was kind of the coming out party in the playoffs.

445
00:18:59,946 --> 00:19:02,586
Speaker 4: I mean prior to that year, I already had eighteen

446
00:19:02,666 --> 00:19:05,586
Speaker 4: touchdowns in the regular season, so I was kind of

447
00:19:05,626 --> 00:19:07,746
Speaker 4: a little bit known going into the playoffs. But then

448
00:19:07,786 --> 00:19:10,746
Speaker 4: it was the coming out party at the after party,

449
00:19:10,786 --> 00:19:12,946
Speaker 4: which was the playoffs, baby, and that just shows I

450
00:19:12,946 --> 00:19:14,506
Speaker 4: can last all night long.

451
00:19:14,546 --> 00:19:16,786
Speaker 3: I can last, baby, And that's what it was.

452
00:19:16,866 --> 00:19:19,786
Speaker 4: The playoffs equals the after party, and I showed up

453
00:19:19,826 --> 00:19:23,426
Speaker 4: performed three touchdowns. I remember that game too, t ten catches.

454
00:19:23,466 --> 00:19:25,586
Speaker 4: I remember my last catch was down the sideline. It

455
00:19:25,626 --> 00:19:27,266
Speaker 4: was like the fourth quarter. We were already blowing them

456
00:19:27,266 --> 00:19:30,066
Speaker 4: out and Tom called a fade I'll split out wide

457
00:19:30,066 --> 00:19:33,186
Speaker 4: and he threw like another like twenty five yard thirty

458
00:19:33,266 --> 00:19:34,826
Speaker 4: yard bomb to me all the way out there on

459
00:19:34,866 --> 00:19:35,506
Speaker 4: the fade route.

460
00:19:35,786 --> 00:19:37,026
Speaker 3: I caught it for my.

461
00:19:37,026 --> 00:19:39,706
Speaker 4: Tenth catch, did like the first down signal, acting all

462
00:19:40,026 --> 00:19:42,626
Speaker 4: all cocky and everything. It was just a great game overall,

463
00:19:42,666 --> 00:19:45,586
Speaker 4: and it was just great to beat those Broncos at

464
00:19:45,586 --> 00:19:48,266
Speaker 4: the time with Tiba, with Tibo on the squad as well,

465
00:19:48,306 --> 00:19:49,906
Speaker 4: you know, all that hype they were having, and we

466
00:19:49,986 --> 00:19:51,786
Speaker 4: just took them down. I think we won like forty

467
00:19:51,826 --> 00:19:53,986
Speaker 4: five to seven or something from that game.

468
00:19:54,546 --> 00:19:56,506
Speaker 3: Yeah, forty five to ten. It was. It was a

469
00:19:56,546 --> 00:19:58,666
Speaker 3: great game. It was unbelievable. I loved it.

470
00:19:58,986 --> 00:20:01,026
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like, do you think about these guys, like,

471
00:20:01,066 --> 00:20:02,706
Speaker 1: do you if I named a game? Could you kind

472
00:20:02,706 --> 00:20:03,786
Speaker 1: of do that with your mind? A lot of these

473
00:20:03,826 --> 00:20:05,986
Speaker 1: guys got like McVeigh. We talked to him and it's like, hey,

474
00:20:06,026 --> 00:20:08,266
Speaker 1: can you this play? And it's like yes on this

475
00:20:08,386 --> 00:20:10,826
Speaker 1: third down. I remember when we were talking in La

476
00:20:10,866 --> 00:20:12,346
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. I'm like, I remember a

477
00:20:12,346 --> 00:20:14,426
Speaker 1: Steelers game the Jesse James game with a touch on.

478
00:20:14,506 --> 00:20:16,586
Speaker 1: You're like, yep, I remember that entire last drop. Do

479
00:20:16,626 --> 00:20:19,426
Speaker 1: you have that memory too, where it's like I can

480
00:20:19,466 --> 00:20:21,226
Speaker 1: bring up a random game You're like, yeah, I remember that,

481
00:20:21,306 --> 00:20:22,946
Speaker 1: and here's what happened. Here was the storyline going in

482
00:20:23,026 --> 00:20:24,786
Speaker 1: or is it just those big special moments.

483
00:20:25,186 --> 00:20:27,786
Speaker 3: I would probably say about seventy five percent of them

484
00:20:27,866 --> 00:20:28,306
Speaker 3: I remember.

485
00:20:28,466 --> 00:20:31,026
Speaker 4: Sometimes I talked football with some people I don't remember,

486
00:20:31,146 --> 00:20:32,906
Speaker 4: but I mean I played so many games, I think

487
00:20:32,946 --> 00:20:35,426
Speaker 4: like one hundred and forty games right around there in

488
00:20:35,466 --> 00:20:38,146
Speaker 4: the regular season, so in cleaning playoffs, I think I

489
00:20:38,186 --> 00:20:40,106
Speaker 4: played around like one hundred and fifty five games. But

490
00:20:40,426 --> 00:20:43,066
Speaker 4: I remember about seventy five percent of them, especially when

491
00:20:43,106 --> 00:20:46,306
Speaker 4: someone like you brings up the analogy of the game

492
00:20:46,666 --> 00:20:49,746
Speaker 4: of what happened, and that's that's triggering back in my mind.

493
00:20:49,506 --> 00:20:50,906
Speaker 3: Of oh yeah, yeah, I remember that.

494
00:20:51,106 --> 00:20:53,426
Speaker 4: So sometimes I can't bring it up, but someone else

495
00:20:53,466 --> 00:20:55,226
Speaker 4: brings it up, it starts clicking again.

496
00:20:55,546 --> 00:20:57,786
Speaker 3: But I do remember most of them, but not all

497
00:20:57,826 --> 00:20:58,266
Speaker 3: of them.

498
00:20:58,466 --> 00:21:00,626
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so you get started. You're losing that

499
00:21:00,666 --> 00:21:02,906
Speaker 1: Super Bowl to the Giants. You guys are are kind

500
00:21:02,946 --> 00:21:04,906
Speaker 1: of bouncing into the playoffs and losing to the Ravens

501
00:21:04,906 --> 00:21:07,266
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and then finally you do get.

502
00:21:07,106 --> 00:21:07,786
Speaker 2: A Super Bowl ring.

503
00:21:07,826 --> 00:21:10,386
Speaker 1: Take us through your first Super Bowl ring experience and

504
00:21:10,426 --> 00:21:11,786
Speaker 1: what you remember from that afternoon.

505
00:21:12,066 --> 00:21:13,346
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a great experience.

506
00:21:13,386 --> 00:21:15,466
Speaker 4: I remember my first Super Bowl actually was one of

507
00:21:15,546 --> 00:21:18,666
Speaker 4: the worst experiences because I got my ankle blown out

508
00:21:18,946 --> 00:21:21,906
Speaker 4: versus a Baltimore Ravens in the third quarter.

509
00:21:22,106 --> 00:21:24,506
Speaker 2: But remember the storyline was like, is Groc gonna play?

510
00:21:24,586 --> 00:21:25,826
Speaker 2: Is Groc on a plane? You played?

511
00:21:26,346 --> 00:21:26,546
Speaker 3: Yeah?

512
00:21:26,586 --> 00:21:29,186
Speaker 4: I played, But it was the worst week man, because

513
00:21:29,186 --> 00:21:31,026
Speaker 4: you're supposed to be there and join the Super Bowl.

514
00:21:31,066 --> 00:21:31,946
Speaker 3: I was just rehab.

515
00:21:31,986 --> 00:21:34,946
Speaker 4: I was like hiding out in my hotel room. It

516
00:21:35,066 --> 00:21:37,666
Speaker 4: just didn't go as I planned, and it wasn't as fun.

517
00:21:37,866 --> 00:21:39,826
Speaker 2: Indianapolis, right, That's where that super Bowl.

518
00:21:39,906 --> 00:21:41,266
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was an Indianapolis.

519
00:21:41,506 --> 00:21:45,306
Speaker 4: It just, you know, wasn't how I expected it to be,

520
00:21:45,466 --> 00:21:47,506
Speaker 4: especially with the injury that I only played like twelve

521
00:21:47,546 --> 00:21:50,266
Speaker 4: plays in the game. And I feel like, if I

522
00:21:50,266 --> 00:21:53,586
Speaker 4: could go back, obviously I would have done things differently

523
00:21:53,826 --> 00:21:56,186
Speaker 4: to prepare for the game to get my ankle ready.

524
00:21:56,186 --> 00:21:58,186
Speaker 4: But you live and you learn, Baby, you can't go

525
00:21:58,266 --> 00:21:59,226
Speaker 4: back and regret anything.

526
00:21:59,226 --> 00:21:59,826
Speaker 3: You live and you learn.

527
00:21:59,906 --> 00:22:01,986
Speaker 4: Peter and then finally it got to the super Bowl

528
00:22:02,226 --> 00:22:03,906
Speaker 4: versus Seattle, and I was like, all right, this is

529
00:22:03,906 --> 00:22:06,426
Speaker 4: a game changer. This is a different story. Now I'm healthy.

530
00:22:06,546 --> 00:22:08,706
Speaker 4: We just want we're going to the super Bowl. I

531
00:22:08,746 --> 00:22:11,706
Speaker 4: think we absolutely dominated the Colts in the prior game,

532
00:22:11,946 --> 00:22:14,666
Speaker 4: in the AFC Championship game, I'm pretty sure, Like I

533
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:17,226
Speaker 4: think that's when the deflay gates started because we absolutely

534
00:22:17,306 --> 00:22:19,866
Speaker 4: destroyed them. So they had a makeup excuse like we

535
00:22:19,986 --> 00:22:22,546
Speaker 4: ran the ball forty times, we had like three hundred

536
00:22:22,546 --> 00:22:25,466
Speaker 4: and fifty yards rushing, and Gerrick Blunt had like four

537
00:22:25,546 --> 00:22:28,066
Speaker 4: touchdowns versus of them, and then they were just embarrassed.

538
00:22:28,106 --> 00:22:28,786
Speaker 3: So they had, you.

539
00:22:28,786 --> 00:22:32,146
Speaker 4: Guys go to seven, No, forty five to seven, even

540
00:22:32,186 --> 00:22:35,066
Speaker 4: worse than the Denver Broncos game and a couple of

541
00:22:35,146 --> 00:22:38,426
Speaker 4: years before. But and then I was like, all right,

542
00:22:38,466 --> 00:22:40,506
Speaker 4: clean slate, going to the super Bowl. This is what

543
00:22:40,506 --> 00:22:42,306
Speaker 4: it's all about. I need to get into the super

544
00:22:42,306 --> 00:22:42,906
Speaker 4: Bowl club.

545
00:22:42,946 --> 00:22:45,306
Speaker 3: That's what it's all about. My career will be set

546
00:22:45,346 --> 00:22:46,026
Speaker 3: if I get one.

547
00:22:46,306 --> 00:22:47,826
Speaker 4: I was happy. I was like, I'm good to go.

548
00:22:47,906 --> 00:22:50,706
Speaker 4: If I ever get traded, if I get hurt again, whatever,

549
00:22:50,786 --> 00:22:53,506
Speaker 4: I have a super Bowl. And that week just that

550
00:22:53,546 --> 00:22:56,306
Speaker 4: whole Super Bowl experience. It was in Arizona, way better

551
00:22:56,306 --> 00:23:00,866
Speaker 4: than Indianapolis. Just overall, just everything went smoothly, went to

552
00:23:00,946 --> 00:23:04,106
Speaker 4: the game, and it couldn't have been a better game, man.

553
00:23:04,466 --> 00:23:09,266
Speaker 4: I mean, it was a amazing shootout. Everyone contributed. I

554
00:23:09,266 --> 00:23:11,546
Speaker 4: had a touchdown. I had about I think six catches

555
00:23:11,586 --> 00:23:16,946
Speaker 4: for sixty eight yards. Julian contributed, Amandola contributed, We all contributed,

556
00:23:16,946 --> 00:23:19,146
Speaker 4: the running backs. It was like a team game. We

557
00:23:19,226 --> 00:23:22,146
Speaker 4: all did our part. And then obviously with Malcolm Butler

558
00:23:22,266 --> 00:23:24,306
Speaker 4: ceiling the deal at the end of the game with

559
00:23:24,426 --> 00:23:28,146
Speaker 4: that game winning interception. You couldn't have drawn up that

560
00:23:28,226 --> 00:23:31,986
Speaker 4: game any more pitcher perfect than what it came out to.

561
00:23:32,106 --> 00:23:33,146
Speaker 3: So where were you and that?

562
00:23:33,266 --> 00:23:35,866
Speaker 1: I always see the footage of Jimmy and Brady and

563
00:23:35,946 --> 00:23:38,306
Speaker 1: Mike Gavardi who is the old PR guy, all on

564
00:23:38,306 --> 00:23:41,466
Speaker 1: the sidelines, and that's a famous clip of Brady like

565
00:23:41,546 --> 00:23:43,546
Speaker 1: just being shocked and Jimmy and him embracing. Where were

566
00:23:43,586 --> 00:23:45,826
Speaker 1: you during that the Malcolm Butler pick.

567
00:23:45,986 --> 00:23:48,146
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just on the bench and I was

568
00:23:48,186 --> 00:23:51,506
Speaker 4: basically like a couple of benches over. You know, the quarterbacks,

569
00:23:51,786 --> 00:23:53,506
Speaker 4: all the big time guys, you know, they have their

570
00:23:53,546 --> 00:23:56,346
Speaker 4: own little bench over to the side, Thank you, Dad.

571
00:23:56,346 --> 00:23:58,586
Speaker 4: The big time guys, the cameras all on them, and

572
00:23:58,866 --> 00:24:00,986
Speaker 4: I'm doing the same thing as them. But I'm not

573
00:24:01,026 --> 00:24:02,746
Speaker 4: a big time guy, you know. I'm just a guy

574
00:24:02,786 --> 00:24:04,906
Speaker 4: that does the dirty work. I blocked, make holes for

575
00:24:04,946 --> 00:24:07,266
Speaker 4: the running back, catch a pass, catch a touchdown, for

576
00:24:07,346 --> 00:24:09,346
Speaker 4: time wherever he throws the ball, and make him look good.

577
00:24:09,586 --> 00:24:10,546
Speaker 1: So them.

578
00:24:11,386 --> 00:24:13,066
Speaker 4: So I'm over on the bench all the way to

579
00:24:13,106 --> 00:24:17,306
Speaker 4: the right and I'm just sitting there and I just

580
00:24:17,506 --> 00:24:19,986
Speaker 4: I'm just like, our defense is going to come through.

581
00:24:20,146 --> 00:24:20,546
Speaker 3: I knew it.

582
00:24:20,586 --> 00:24:23,106
Speaker 4: I was saying that from the time I had conference

583
00:24:23,146 --> 00:24:25,626
Speaker 4: that our defense was was going to come through. But

584
00:24:25,666 --> 00:24:28,426
Speaker 4: then they started driving down the field. I'm like, maybe

585
00:24:28,506 --> 00:24:29,946
Speaker 4: maybe our defense isn't.

586
00:24:29,746 --> 00:24:32,066
Speaker 3: Going to come through. And then they keep driving.

587
00:24:32,146 --> 00:24:34,586
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, They're just chunk plays all over the

588
00:24:34,626 --> 00:24:36,386
Speaker 4: play and then they get down to like the ten

589
00:24:36,466 --> 00:24:39,106
Speaker 4: yard line, and I'm like, I still have some belief,

590
00:24:39,546 --> 00:24:41,386
Speaker 4: but I might not have some.

591
00:24:41,306 --> 00:24:42,706
Speaker 3: Belief because I didn't want to be wrong.

592
00:24:42,746 --> 00:24:44,986
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, And then I was like, but I

593
00:24:45,066 --> 00:24:46,746
Speaker 4: still have beliefs something's going to happen.

594
00:24:46,826 --> 00:24:49,626
Speaker 3: Something's going to happen, fumble or something. And then Malcolm

595
00:24:49,666 --> 00:24:51,346
Speaker 3: Buter just came through. I remember I was just sitting

596
00:24:51,386 --> 00:24:51,786
Speaker 3: on my chair.

597
00:24:51,826 --> 00:24:54,106
Speaker 4: I just jumped up in excitement like it was a

598
00:24:54,226 --> 00:24:57,666
Speaker 4: it was a feeling of undescribable because it's just like

599
00:24:57,786 --> 00:24:59,906
Speaker 4: you felt like you were just floating when that happened.

600
00:24:59,986 --> 00:25:02,066
Speaker 3: Getting my first Super Bowl ring, seeing.

601
00:25:01,786 --> 00:25:05,306
Speaker 4: With that play going down unreal surreal experience.

602
00:25:05,706 --> 00:25:07,546
Speaker 2: Yeah, an unbelievable one.

603
00:25:07,586 --> 00:25:10,546
Speaker 1: And then obviously you guys have that offseason and then

604
00:25:10,666 --> 00:25:12,826
Speaker 1: to get back there a couple of years later, and

605
00:25:12,866 --> 00:25:15,306
Speaker 1: I know, you think about twenty eight to three. Everyone

606
00:25:15,386 --> 00:25:17,866
Speaker 1: talks about that so much. Obviously you didn't have the

607
00:25:17,906 --> 00:25:19,146
Speaker 1: fondest memories of that.

608
00:25:19,146 --> 00:25:21,066
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Like how do you look at that Super

609
00:25:21,066 --> 00:25:21,506
Speaker 2: Bowl win?

610
00:25:22,186 --> 00:25:25,746
Speaker 4: You know something, I didn't actually play in that game,

611
00:25:25,786 --> 00:25:26,866
Speaker 4: but I was on the sidelines.

612
00:25:26,986 --> 00:25:28,626
Speaker 1: Yeah, so like, how do you how do you look

613
00:25:28,626 --> 00:25:30,026
Speaker 1: at it when everyone's like, oh, twenty eight to three

614
00:25:30,026 --> 00:25:32,146
Speaker 1: the greatest, whenever you're like, well, I actually was hurt,

615
00:25:32,186 --> 00:25:32,426
Speaker 1: you know.

616
00:25:32,466 --> 00:25:34,786
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, you know you know something that actually it

617
00:25:34,866 --> 00:25:37,466
Speaker 4: stings a little bit. But at the same time, you know,

618
00:25:37,506 --> 00:25:39,586
Speaker 4: I said to myself, I'm going to use this as motivation,

619
00:25:39,786 --> 00:25:41,866
Speaker 4: like and like it was fine. I was like I

620
00:25:41,906 --> 00:25:43,866
Speaker 4: did my part that year when I was on the field.

621
00:25:44,066 --> 00:25:46,066
Speaker 4: But listen to this. I was in training camp that year.

622
00:25:46,106 --> 00:25:49,586
Speaker 4: I was unstoppable. Bro I'm talking two guys around me,

623
00:25:49,946 --> 00:25:52,026
Speaker 4: three guys. I was running by everyone. It was gonna

624
00:25:52,026 --> 00:25:54,266
Speaker 4: be my best season ever, and it really was.

625
00:25:54,306 --> 00:25:55,146
Speaker 3: Peter. Here we go.

626
00:25:55,426 --> 00:25:57,106
Speaker 4: So I'm in training camp and then it's versus the

627
00:25:57,146 --> 00:25:57,946
Speaker 4: Chicago Bears.

628
00:25:57,986 --> 00:25:59,666
Speaker 3: They come in. They're in training camp and I pull

629
00:25:59,786 --> 00:26:01,586
Speaker 3: my hamstring and it.

630
00:26:01,626 --> 00:26:03,506
Speaker 4: Was the first time I ever pulled the muscle, and

631
00:26:03,746 --> 00:26:05,706
Speaker 4: I felt to come in and just you know, I

632
00:26:05,746 --> 00:26:07,466
Speaker 4: tried going higher and it popped.

633
00:26:07,706 --> 00:26:09,466
Speaker 3: And it was a tough situation. I'm talking.

634
00:26:09,506 --> 00:26:11,826
Speaker 4: I was fifteen days straight. No one could stop me,

635
00:26:12,106 --> 00:26:14,946
Speaker 4: no one. I'm talking like. It was unbelievable how much

636
00:26:14,946 --> 00:26:17,986
Speaker 4: fire I was on. So then I blow out.

637
00:26:18,066 --> 00:26:20,026
Speaker 3: I'm almost back, I'm getting back.

638
00:26:20,066 --> 00:26:22,146
Speaker 4: I blow out my hamstring again, kind of, I tear

639
00:26:22,186 --> 00:26:23,906
Speaker 4: it again a little bit like no one knew. Like

640
00:26:23,946 --> 00:26:25,706
Speaker 4: two weeks later, because I'm trying to come back. I'm

641
00:26:25,706 --> 00:26:27,986
Speaker 4: out in the field like running rounds. So then I

642
00:26:28,026 --> 00:26:30,986
Speaker 4: finally get it healed. About week four, I go out.

643
00:26:31,146 --> 00:26:33,186
Speaker 4: This is when Jimmy is the quarterback Stale because Tom

644
00:26:33,226 --> 00:26:37,226
Speaker 4: was suspended from the Indianapolis Colts, the flake Gate thingy

645
00:26:37,266 --> 00:26:39,186
Speaker 4: that they came up with because we beat him so

646
00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:43,066
Speaker 4: bad in the playoffs. And then and then it was

647
00:26:43,346 --> 00:26:45,466
Speaker 4: I go in, my hamstring is still a little messed up,

648
00:26:45,546 --> 00:26:47,706
Speaker 4: Like it was so bad, Like they tried throwing me

649
00:26:47,746 --> 00:26:49,306
Speaker 4: a route in the middle of the game and it

650
00:26:49,426 --> 00:26:51,946
Speaker 4: was just like I was running one mile prour. And

651
00:26:51,986 --> 00:26:54,386
Speaker 4: then I was like, my hamstring needs like one more week.

652
00:26:54,426 --> 00:26:57,306
Speaker 4: And then kaboom, like it kicked in. And then all

653
00:26:57,306 --> 00:26:59,946
Speaker 4: of a sudden, Tom is back too, and Tom and

654
00:26:59,986 --> 00:27:03,266
Speaker 4: I if in those four in those five games I played,

655
00:27:03,706 --> 00:27:05,786
Speaker 4: I literally was on fire.

656
00:27:05,946 --> 00:27:06,146
Speaker 3: Bro.

657
00:27:06,506 --> 00:27:09,706
Speaker 4: Once again, I left off where I was in training camp,

658
00:27:09,786 --> 00:27:13,346
Speaker 4: and I'm five hundred and fifty yards in four games

659
00:27:13,386 --> 00:27:13,666
Speaker 4: I have.

660
00:27:13,826 --> 00:27:15,306
Speaker 3: I know I'm on fire. Bro.

661
00:27:15,506 --> 00:27:18,706
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're twenty one yards per reception that season.

662
00:27:19,106 --> 00:27:21,946
Speaker 4: Yeah, no one can do that. That's incredible, dude. And

663
00:27:22,066 --> 00:27:23,906
Speaker 4: if you and I was going to hit a thousand

664
00:27:23,946 --> 00:27:26,306
Speaker 4: yards in like ten games, I was on fire. I

665
00:27:26,346 --> 00:27:27,866
Speaker 4: was like, no one stopped me, No one stop.

666
00:27:28,186 --> 00:27:29,146
Speaker 3: So then what happens?

667
00:27:29,386 --> 00:27:31,546
Speaker 4: I go, So I'm doing my part already this year.

668
00:27:31,586 --> 00:27:33,666
Speaker 4: You know Martellus Bennett, he's on the team now. He's

669
00:27:33,706 --> 00:27:35,666
Speaker 4: the first year. I'm showing the way, like this is

670
00:27:35,666 --> 00:27:37,546
Speaker 4: how we grind, this is how we get it done.

671
00:27:37,906 --> 00:27:41,186
Speaker 4: And then I go up to Seam versus Seattle Seahawks

672
00:27:41,226 --> 00:27:42,946
Speaker 4: again Thomas, Earl Thomas.

673
00:27:43,026 --> 00:27:43,746
Speaker 3: Tom throws me.

674
00:27:43,706 --> 00:27:46,706
Speaker 4: A pass, I put my hand out versus Camp Champs

675
00:27:46,826 --> 00:27:48,986
Speaker 4: or he's guiding me. So you got the two harriers

676
00:27:49,266 --> 00:27:52,626
Speaker 4: hitting safeties in the game over the last ten years.

677
00:27:52,986 --> 00:27:55,706
Speaker 4: I probably say over the last two decades, there's a couple,

678
00:27:55,746 --> 00:27:57,706
Speaker 4: but I put them up in the top five.

679
00:27:57,746 --> 00:27:59,426
Speaker 3: Earl Thomas may be number one.

680
00:27:59,866 --> 00:28:02,906
Speaker 4: And I reach out and I'm not looking at Earl Thomas,

681
00:28:02,986 --> 00:28:06,306
Speaker 4: and he gets a full steam of speed and just

682
00:28:06,746 --> 00:28:10,266
Speaker 4: levels me full speed, dude, And I'm not even looking

683
00:28:10,546 --> 00:28:12,186
Speaker 4: like you know. It was a clean hit, no doubt.

684
00:28:12,186 --> 00:28:12,866
Speaker 3: It was a clean hit.

685
00:28:13,106 --> 00:28:16,226
Speaker 4: And I got up, man, and I couldn't breathe. The

686
00:28:16,266 --> 00:28:17,826
Speaker 4: wind was knocked out of me, and I went to

687
00:28:17,866 --> 00:28:20,346
Speaker 4: the huddle. Blood was coming out of my mouth. I

688
00:28:20,386 --> 00:28:23,066
Speaker 4: didn't even say anything. Later that day. The next day,

689
00:28:23,146 --> 00:28:25,666
Speaker 4: I had a punctured lung and it was shooting blood

690
00:28:25,666 --> 00:28:27,626
Speaker 4: all up in my mouth. So then I had to

691
00:28:27,666 --> 00:28:29,506
Speaker 4: take off a week and I try to come in back.

692
00:28:29,546 --> 00:28:32,906
Speaker 4: I'm like I can't move still. But little did I know,

693
00:28:32,986 --> 00:28:34,906
Speaker 4: he freaking popped a disc.

694
00:28:34,746 --> 00:28:36,186
Speaker 3: Out on my back as well.

695
00:28:36,386 --> 00:28:38,186
Speaker 4: HEARDing a disk and then I had to go out

696
00:28:38,506 --> 00:28:40,026
Speaker 4: end of the season. Right there, I had to get

697
00:28:40,026 --> 00:28:43,306
Speaker 4: the surgery. My disc was popping out, So that's why

698
00:28:43,386 --> 00:28:45,706
Speaker 4: I didn't play in the Atlanta game. There was a disappointment

699
00:28:45,786 --> 00:28:47,626
Speaker 4: because I don't think there would ever needed a come

700
00:28:47,626 --> 00:28:49,866
Speaker 4: back because I was on fire that year so much

701
00:28:50,346 --> 00:28:52,826
Speaker 4: that we were just going to be rolling. And we

702
00:28:52,866 --> 00:28:54,706
Speaker 4: had the two tight ends set with Marty B and

703
00:28:54,746 --> 00:28:57,186
Speaker 4: I love too tight and set. You cannot stop two

704
00:28:57,226 --> 00:28:59,746
Speaker 4: tight ends in the NFL. If you have two legit

705
00:28:59,826 --> 00:29:01,106
Speaker 4: tight ends, it's impossible.

706
00:29:01,266 --> 00:29:03,666
Speaker 1: Let me ask about Marty B. We've had Marty B

707
00:29:03,786 --> 00:29:05,346
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football million times. I find it to

708
00:29:05,346 --> 00:29:07,986
Speaker 1: be one of the most curious personalities in a good way.

709
00:29:08,026 --> 00:29:10,066
Speaker 1: I find him to be so unique one of one.

710
00:29:10,226 --> 00:29:12,266
Speaker 1: And then of course he's got a brother who's also

711
00:29:12,306 --> 00:29:13,066
Speaker 1: a big personality.

712
00:29:13,066 --> 00:29:16,146
Speaker 2: But Marty B special. You two together and I'll tight

713
00:29:16,226 --> 00:29:18,346
Speaker 2: ends room. What was that like? You know?

714
00:29:18,506 --> 00:29:20,186
Speaker 4: It was, like I said, it was kind of like

715
00:29:20,226 --> 00:29:22,786
Speaker 4: winning the Super Bowl. But it was a little disappointment

716
00:29:22,866 --> 00:29:24,906
Speaker 4: at the same time because we wanted to play together.

717
00:29:25,026 --> 00:29:27,106
Speaker 3: We were having such a great year. We were with

718
00:29:27,106 --> 00:29:27,546
Speaker 3: the Red.

719
00:29:27,466 --> 00:29:29,746
Speaker 4: Zone Force and training camp that year where everyone was

720
00:29:29,746 --> 00:29:32,226
Speaker 4: trying to stop us. No one could stop us. He

721
00:29:32,306 --> 00:29:35,226
Speaker 4: had personality. I had personality. But when he came to

722
00:29:35,266 --> 00:29:37,346
Speaker 4: the Patriots, he saw how we worked, he saw how

723
00:29:37,386 --> 00:29:38,266
Speaker 4: we got it done.

724
00:29:38,386 --> 00:29:39,426
Speaker 3: And that's what was so great.

725
00:29:39,466 --> 00:29:41,786
Speaker 4: I felt like we were elevating each other's games and

726
00:29:41,826 --> 00:29:42,146
Speaker 4: we were.

727
00:29:42,266 --> 00:29:43,826
Speaker 3: We complimented each other very well.

728
00:29:43,866 --> 00:29:45,946
Speaker 4: If you go look at his stats as well, in

729
00:29:45,946 --> 00:29:48,146
Speaker 4: those four games that I played, he was having three

730
00:29:48,186 --> 00:29:48,946
Speaker 4: touchdown games.

731
00:29:49,066 --> 00:29:50,786
Speaker 3: He had three touchdowns in the Cleveland game.

732
00:29:50,986 --> 00:29:52,866
Speaker 4: When I first got back to the first game, I

733
00:29:52,866 --> 00:29:54,946
Speaker 4: had one hundred and twenty yards. The next game, I'm

734
00:29:54,986 --> 00:29:57,306
Speaker 4: having one hundred and twenty more yards. He's having a touchdown.

735
00:29:57,346 --> 00:30:00,546
Speaker 4: I'm having a touchdown. We were combining for like remember

736
00:30:00,586 --> 00:30:02,626
Speaker 4: that we were talking twenty one yards per catch, five

737
00:30:02,666 --> 00:30:04,466
Speaker 4: hundred and fift yards and four games. I think we

738
00:30:04,506 --> 00:30:07,866
Speaker 4: had eight hundred yards total in four games together, and

739
00:30:07,986 --> 00:30:09,506
Speaker 4: like in like eight touchdowns.

740
00:30:09,546 --> 00:30:11,146
Speaker 2: I love this. I love how passionate you are. Do

741
00:30:11,186 --> 00:30:11,666
Speaker 2: you remember it?

742
00:30:11,706 --> 00:30:13,306
Speaker 1: And it's like it's a s great like no one

743
00:30:13,306 --> 00:30:15,306
Speaker 1: ever looks back. It's like I remember Marty being gronk

744
00:30:15,346 --> 00:30:18,186
Speaker 1: that season because it just whatever, but like you.

745
00:30:18,066 --> 00:30:20,586
Speaker 4: Remember it, you know, Yeah, And it's just a little

746
00:30:20,626 --> 00:30:21,986
Speaker 4: disappointment that I got hurt.

747
00:30:22,026 --> 00:30:23,226
Speaker 3: Man, It's just he got hurt.

748
00:30:23,266 --> 00:30:25,946
Speaker 2: You got hit hurt. It this get your vomiting up

749
00:30:25,986 --> 00:30:26,466
Speaker 2: your lungs.

750
00:30:26,506 --> 00:30:29,306
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little disappointment because we would have had

751
00:30:29,426 --> 00:30:33,466
Speaker 4: Marty b and I, we would have dominated. We were

752
00:30:33,506 --> 00:30:36,386
Speaker 4: dominating and uh. And like I said that, I missed

753
00:30:36,386 --> 00:30:39,066
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl as well, but you know, I wasn't

754
00:30:39,106 --> 00:30:40,146
Speaker 4: gonna let that hinder me.

755
00:30:40,226 --> 00:30:42,266
Speaker 3: Man. It was the situation I was in, and I

756
00:30:42,346 --> 00:30:43,586
Speaker 3: was glad that we won a super Bowl.

757
00:30:43,626 --> 00:30:45,586
Speaker 4: I got my second ring, and you know, I was

758
00:30:45,626 --> 00:30:47,946
Speaker 4: just glad that I got to show like the best

759
00:30:48,226 --> 00:30:50,866
Speaker 4: of myself that year to kind of amp up the guys,

760
00:30:50,906 --> 00:30:53,186
Speaker 4: you know, to show what kind of standards that we have,

761
00:30:53,706 --> 00:30:55,666
Speaker 4: you know, throughout training camp and when I was back

762
00:30:55,666 --> 00:30:57,746
Speaker 4: in the field for those games, and then I just

763
00:30:57,786 --> 00:30:59,706
Speaker 4: said to myself, I have to win another one if

764
00:30:59,746 --> 00:31:01,986
Speaker 4: I want this this super Bowl to count. I said

765
00:31:01,986 --> 00:31:03,946
Speaker 4: this to myself, I want the land of super Bowl

766
00:31:04,146 --> 00:31:06,666
Speaker 4: to really count. If I really own the land of

767
00:31:06,746 --> 00:31:09,186
Speaker 4: super Bowl and show the ring off, I have to

768
00:31:09,266 --> 00:31:12,546
Speaker 4: win one more, because then I can walk around and say, yes,

769
00:31:12,666 --> 00:31:13,906
Speaker 4: I have three Super Bowls and.

770
00:31:13,866 --> 00:31:16,266
Speaker 3: Be confident about it and be proud of it, because.

771
00:31:15,986 --> 00:31:18,426
Speaker 4: If yeah, I got two and I didn't play in Atlanta,

772
00:31:18,586 --> 00:31:20,266
Speaker 4: like I need to win one more. And then we

773
00:31:20,346 --> 00:31:23,626
Speaker 4: beat the Los Angeles Rams, right the Los Angeles Rams

774
00:31:23,866 --> 00:31:26,666
Speaker 4: their first year or second year, they were Los Angeles Rams.

775
00:31:26,746 --> 00:31:29,466
Speaker 4: And then that's when I was like, all right, mission complete.

776
00:31:29,466 --> 00:31:30,826
Speaker 3: I got three super Bowl right now.

777
00:31:30,906 --> 00:31:32,986
Speaker 1: And you made the biggest catch of that game. I

778
00:31:33,066 --> 00:31:34,906
Speaker 1: think Jewles might have been MVP in that game, but

779
00:31:35,066 --> 00:31:36,626
Speaker 1: that catch was you at the end. I mean, that's

780
00:31:36,626 --> 00:31:37,346
Speaker 1: what great is looking for.

781
00:31:37,586 --> 00:31:38,866
Speaker 3: Jewles dominated that game.

782
00:31:39,106 --> 00:31:41,906
Speaker 2: He did. He did before we get there, though you

783
00:31:42,106 --> 00:31:42,906
Speaker 2: lose to the Eagles.

784
00:31:42,906 --> 00:31:45,106
Speaker 1: And we're not going to talk about the Philly Special

785
00:31:45,106 --> 00:31:47,666
Speaker 1: and all that because it's whatever. But what's fascinating to

786
00:31:47,706 --> 00:31:49,346
Speaker 1: me is in the story has come out since and

787
00:31:49,346 --> 00:31:50,946
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever spoken about it publicly,

788
00:31:51,546 --> 00:31:53,186
Speaker 1: they tried trading you to the Lion, Like, what was

789
00:31:53,186 --> 00:31:55,026
Speaker 1: the story with the trade of the Lions that offseason?

790
00:31:55,026 --> 00:31:57,266
Speaker 1: Because here you are, this Patriots legend coming off an

791
00:31:57,306 --> 00:31:59,786
Speaker 1: amazing season and unbelievable Super Bowl all this stuff, and

792
00:31:59,826 --> 00:32:02,146
Speaker 1: then the story like two years later came out that

793
00:32:02,546 --> 00:32:05,266
Speaker 1: the Lions tried trading for you and then you vetoed it.

794
00:32:05,386 --> 00:32:06,386
Speaker 2: Can you tell us what exactly?

795
00:32:07,066 --> 00:32:09,586
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I mean we were kind of having

796
00:32:09,626 --> 00:32:11,986
Speaker 4: some disconnect between myself the organization.

797
00:32:12,106 --> 00:32:14,466
Speaker 3: It was kind of like mayhem a little bit. Maybe

798
00:32:14,506 --> 00:32:16,986
Speaker 3: I handled myself a little a little wrong. Maybe if

799
00:32:17,026 --> 00:32:18,746
Speaker 3: I could go back, I would have done it differently.

800
00:32:19,146 --> 00:32:21,946
Speaker 4: But we'll just say this overall in the end that

801
00:32:22,066 --> 00:32:25,266
Speaker 4: whoever I got traded to, I was going to retire.

802
00:32:25,306 --> 00:32:27,106
Speaker 4: Like it didn't matter if it was a Lion, you.

803
00:32:27,066 --> 00:32:28,786
Speaker 2: Were vetoing it regardless, it wasn't a.

804
00:32:28,786 --> 00:32:31,506
Speaker 4: Lion, I was doing it regardless. So I was kind

805
00:32:31,546 --> 00:32:34,986
Speaker 4: of being a little bit and then Bill was like,

806
00:32:35,026 --> 00:32:38,466
Speaker 4: all right, let's get this out of here. And then

807
00:32:38,746 --> 00:32:41,466
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, the ain't playing no more though,

808
00:32:42,146 --> 00:32:44,906
Speaker 4: so I was amping it up even more. At the moment,

809
00:32:45,026 --> 00:32:47,226
Speaker 4: I want to say, I wouldn't say. That's kind of

810
00:32:47,226 --> 00:32:49,946
Speaker 4: being like a I would say more. I didn't want

811
00:32:49,986 --> 00:32:52,786
Speaker 4: to say, but uh but uh. And then I was like, ah,

812
00:32:52,826 --> 00:32:55,506
Speaker 4: how can you trade me? I'm retired? And then they're

813
00:32:55,546 --> 00:32:58,506
Speaker 4: like and then everyone took it away, like oh, oh,

814
00:32:58,546 --> 00:33:01,026
Speaker 4: he doesn't want to go to the Lions, like, oh, Detroit,

815
00:33:01,226 --> 00:33:03,226
Speaker 4: f Detroit, and everyone was coming at me. All the

816
00:33:03,306 --> 00:33:05,186
Speaker 4: Detroit fans were like, oh, how do you not like

817
00:33:05,266 --> 00:33:07,946
Speaker 4: Detroit all this too? And I was like, no, it's

818
00:33:07,946 --> 00:33:09,146
Speaker 4: just in back of my mind. I was like, no,

819
00:33:09,426 --> 00:33:12,586
Speaker 4: it was just it was just that I just wasn't

820
00:33:12,586 --> 00:33:13,186
Speaker 4: going to get.

821
00:33:13,026 --> 00:33:14,826
Speaker 2: Traded Patriots or nothing at the time.

822
00:33:14,866 --> 00:33:16,066
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Patriots or nothing.

823
00:33:16,066 --> 00:33:17,866
Speaker 4: I go, we got to win one more Super Bowl

824
00:33:18,266 --> 00:33:19,066
Speaker 4: if I go.

825
00:33:19,306 --> 00:33:20,026
Speaker 2: So how'd you guys?

826
00:33:20,026 --> 00:33:22,186
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, how'd you guys repair all that? Because

827
00:33:22,226 --> 00:33:23,746
Speaker 1: you go and you do win that other Super Bowl

828
00:33:23,786 --> 00:33:25,466
Speaker 1: and you do come and play the clutching, So like

829
00:33:25,506 --> 00:33:27,386
Speaker 1: that season has to be a little awkward, or is

830
00:33:27,386 --> 00:33:28,906
Speaker 1: it just this is business is business?

831
00:33:28,946 --> 00:33:30,946
Speaker 2: Footballs football, business is business.

832
00:33:30,986 --> 00:33:34,546
Speaker 4: Football's football still showed up, did my thing, and we

833
00:33:34,626 --> 00:33:36,146
Speaker 4: won the Super Bowl that year. I knew it was

834
00:33:36,186 --> 00:33:37,866
Speaker 4: one of the best decisions, you know. I was so

835
00:33:37,986 --> 00:33:41,906
Speaker 4: glad I vetoed that trade. And uh football, you know,

836
00:33:41,946 --> 00:33:43,906
Speaker 4: football is football and business is business.

837
00:33:43,906 --> 00:33:46,546
Speaker 3: You know, you get over that quick man. In this world,

838
00:33:46,586 --> 00:33:46,986
Speaker 3: I mean.

839
00:33:46,946 --> 00:33:49,386
Speaker 4: Football, the football world, I would say, is one of

840
00:33:49,426 --> 00:33:51,146
Speaker 4: the kind It's not like being out there in the

841
00:33:51,226 --> 00:33:54,346
Speaker 4: normal business world. It's still it's still the only place

842
00:33:54,906 --> 00:33:57,586
Speaker 4: where it can be like that old school mentality, you

843
00:33:57,626 --> 00:34:00,666
Speaker 4: know what I mean, and then when things don't go right, well,

844
00:34:00,826 --> 00:34:03,826
Speaker 4: guess what, move move the f on things need to

845
00:34:03,946 --> 00:34:05,786
Speaker 4: and get it right, you know, And that's what we did.

846
00:34:05,986 --> 00:34:06,186
Speaker 3: Dude.

847
00:34:06,426 --> 00:34:08,546
Speaker 1: It's a great message to some of these younger guys too,

848
00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:10,586
Speaker 1: because I think we all try to put it into like.

849
00:34:10,626 --> 00:34:12,386
Speaker 2: All right, well, in the media world or in the

850
00:34:12,426 --> 00:34:13,186
Speaker 2: business world.

851
00:34:13,146 --> 00:34:15,466
Speaker 1: It's it's one of one football like, it doesn't make

852
00:34:15,506 --> 00:34:16,546
Speaker 1: sense in a lot of ways in a lot of

853
00:34:16,546 --> 00:34:18,746
Speaker 1: these running backs right now. I feel for them, but

854
00:34:18,746 --> 00:34:21,506
Speaker 1: it's also, yeah, it sucks, but that's what it is.

855
00:34:21,546 --> 00:34:22,786
Speaker 1: You get to play football too, you know.

856
00:34:23,266 --> 00:34:26,426
Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, exactly, man, I agree, man, I mean it's

857
00:34:26,466 --> 00:34:28,626
Speaker 4: a little bit different with these younger guys now. I

858
00:34:28,666 --> 00:34:30,666
Speaker 4: mean that's why I love football so much too, because

859
00:34:30,666 --> 00:34:33,346
Speaker 4: it's the only it's literally the only place in the

860
00:34:33,386 --> 00:34:36,226
Speaker 4: world I would say, is where it's if you're just

861
00:34:36,266 --> 00:34:38,786
Speaker 4: not good enough at your job, you're gone and there's

862
00:34:38,826 --> 00:34:41,626
Speaker 4: no other excuses. You can't shoe them. You can't, you know,

863
00:34:42,026 --> 00:34:44,586
Speaker 4: cause havoc. It's you're just not good enough. You're gone.

864
00:34:44,706 --> 00:34:48,026
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, there's no other controversy with it.

865
00:34:48,026 --> 00:34:49,186
Speaker 2: It's the great equalizes.

866
00:34:49,226 --> 00:34:52,586
Speaker 1: They're also it's like coaches don't care about necessarily what

867
00:34:52,666 --> 00:34:54,546
Speaker 1: you look like, where you came from, what college you

868
00:34:54,626 --> 00:34:56,346
Speaker 1: went to, what size you are. If you're going to

869
00:34:56,346 --> 00:34:57,706
Speaker 1: give us the best chance to win, you're gonna be

870
00:34:57,706 --> 00:34:58,186
Speaker 1: on the field.

871
00:34:58,546 --> 00:35:00,946
Speaker 3: Yes, And that's why I love football all because of that.

872
00:35:00,986 --> 00:35:03,266
Speaker 4: And I believe then I treat football like I do

873
00:35:03,386 --> 00:35:06,146
Speaker 4: in the business world now, Like I just that's like, I.

874
00:35:06,106 --> 00:35:08,026
Speaker 3: Look who the head coaches, the head coach.

875
00:35:08,066 --> 00:35:10,186
Speaker 4: I compare like who the CEO that's the head coach,

876
00:35:10,306 --> 00:35:12,546
Speaker 4: or that's the owner, and then the people that are

877
00:35:12,546 --> 00:35:14,626
Speaker 4: working undneath them. I'm like, all right, that's Julian as

878
00:35:14,666 --> 00:35:15,346
Speaker 4: the wide receiver.

879
00:35:15,466 --> 00:35:18,066
Speaker 3: That's me as the tight end. I just compare football

880
00:35:18,106 --> 00:35:19,506
Speaker 3: to everything. Now. I love it.

881
00:35:23,226 --> 00:35:23,706
Speaker 2: Real quick.

882
00:35:23,706 --> 00:35:26,066
Speaker 1: A couple of things before we let you go, Brady

883
00:35:26,106 --> 00:35:29,186
Speaker 1: calls you out of retirement. Was that all along and

884
00:35:29,226 --> 00:35:30,586
Speaker 1: like the back of your head or was that one

885
00:35:30,626 --> 00:35:32,306
Speaker 1: of those where one day you woke up and you're like, yeah,

886
00:35:32,306 --> 00:35:33,506
Speaker 1: I'll come to Tampa, let's do it.

887
00:35:34,146 --> 00:35:38,306
Speaker 4: No, it was I kind of when I retired, I

888
00:35:38,346 --> 00:35:40,186
Speaker 4: was a little beat up, and I knew the only

889
00:35:40,266 --> 00:35:43,426
Speaker 4: way to get back to kind of myself is to

890
00:35:43,466 --> 00:35:44,626
Speaker 4: get away from football.

891
00:35:44,866 --> 00:35:47,906
Speaker 3: I didn't really want to retire. I just wanted to

892
00:35:47,946 --> 00:35:49,826
Speaker 3: get away from football and I at.

893
00:35:49,706 --> 00:35:52,386
Speaker 4: The moment, and I knew that the only way to

894
00:35:52,426 --> 00:35:55,106
Speaker 4: do that was to retire, Like and I knew.

895
00:35:54,906 --> 00:35:56,106
Speaker 3: It, and I needed a year off.

896
00:35:56,306 --> 00:35:57,866
Speaker 4: And I was like, Okay, so if I take a

897
00:35:57,906 --> 00:35:59,786
Speaker 4: year off and I don't retire, that's just going to

898
00:35:59,826 --> 00:36:01,706
Speaker 4: be just havoc on myself.

899
00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:03,306
Speaker 3: Why aren't you coming back all that? I was like,

900
00:36:03,466 --> 00:36:04,746
Speaker 3: I'm just going to retire.

901
00:36:05,266 --> 00:36:06,186
Speaker 2: Join us at Fox.

902
00:36:06,506 --> 00:36:07,826
Speaker 3: Yeah, join you guys at Fox.

903
00:36:07,866 --> 00:36:09,826
Speaker 4: And the back of my mind I knew I was like,

904
00:36:09,866 --> 00:36:11,906
Speaker 4: if I had the right opportunity, I'm going to go

905
00:36:11,946 --> 00:36:12,906
Speaker 4: back and play football.

906
00:36:13,026 --> 00:36:14,666
Speaker 3: But if I don't, then I don't, you know.

907
00:36:14,786 --> 00:36:17,186
Speaker 4: But it was more on that side that I wanted

908
00:36:17,186 --> 00:36:20,346
Speaker 4: to go back and play and try a new experience,

909
00:36:20,466 --> 00:36:22,466
Speaker 4: you know, and see what the situation was.

910
00:36:22,506 --> 00:36:24,386
Speaker 3: And the right situation had to come up.

911
00:36:24,626 --> 00:36:28,346
Speaker 4: And little do we know, a year later, look at

912
00:36:28,346 --> 00:36:31,066
Speaker 4: that situation that came upon us, and that's when I

913
00:36:31,106 --> 00:36:33,026
Speaker 4: was like, how can I pass up on that?

914
00:36:33,146 --> 00:36:34,906
Speaker 3: Like it's a new opportunity.

915
00:36:34,946 --> 00:36:37,466
Speaker 4: My mom lives in Florida, two hours away from Tampa.

916
00:36:37,506 --> 00:36:40,826
Speaker 4: I always go down to Florida. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

917
00:36:41,106 --> 00:36:43,746
Speaker 4: I mean, I wrote an article about them when I

918
00:36:43,786 --> 00:36:46,146
Speaker 4: was in college. I wanted to play in Tampa Bay

919
00:36:46,346 --> 00:36:48,986
Speaker 4: for many reasons, and little did I know it came

920
00:36:49,066 --> 00:36:52,266
Speaker 4: true freaking ten years later, which is great. I mean, no,

921
00:36:52,426 --> 00:36:55,146
Speaker 4: like twelve years later, which is great. And it was

922
00:36:55,226 --> 00:36:57,106
Speaker 4: just the right situation. I wasn't going to come out

923
00:36:57,106 --> 00:37:00,106
Speaker 4: of retirement for just any old situation. That was the

924
00:37:00,186 --> 00:37:03,066
Speaker 4: right situation, and I definitely felt like I made the

925
00:37:03,146 --> 00:37:04,026
Speaker 4: right choice for sure.

926
00:37:04,386 --> 00:37:07,386
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting Brady's now out of football for

927
00:37:07,426 --> 00:37:09,746
Speaker 1: the first time in my career, my professional life. I

928
00:37:09,786 --> 00:37:11,706
Speaker 1: was in college when Brady was in college. It's kind

929
00:37:11,706 --> 00:37:13,626
Speaker 1: of crazy. And now he's not playing this year, and

930
00:37:13,666 --> 00:37:20,026
Speaker 1: it's so Brady. You consider him big brother, friend, mentor.

931
00:37:19,306 --> 00:37:21,466
Speaker 2: Like when you hear Brady and I know, it's he's

932
00:37:21,826 --> 00:37:23,946
Speaker 2: so much older than all these guys now. But it's

933
00:37:23,986 --> 00:37:24,986
Speaker 2: a pretty cool guy too.

934
00:37:25,546 --> 00:37:26,226
Speaker 3: He's great man.

935
00:37:26,306 --> 00:37:29,266
Speaker 4: I love Tom, but I would consider all of those

936
00:37:29,466 --> 00:37:32,466
Speaker 4: in the category. He's ABC and d mentor friend.

937
00:37:32,866 --> 00:37:34,106
Speaker 3: He's kind of like daddy.

938
00:37:34,706 --> 00:37:37,066
Speaker 4: You know, Daddy, what do we do here? And then

939
00:37:37,226 --> 00:37:39,586
Speaker 4: like it's just a mentor is a game to you,

940
00:37:39,666 --> 00:37:41,746
Speaker 4: and then he's your friend at the same time. So

941
00:37:41,826 --> 00:37:44,746
Speaker 4: he's everything. Man, He's he's just a great guy overall.

942
00:37:44,746 --> 00:37:47,826
Speaker 4: He's a great family man. It's just incredible just to

943
00:37:47,866 --> 00:37:50,306
Speaker 4: see how great of a daddy is in real life

944
00:37:50,306 --> 00:37:53,306
Speaker 4: to his kids while you know, being like a dad

945
00:37:53,386 --> 00:37:54,026

Speaker 4: So it's just an incredible job that he has done.

948
00:37:57,706 --> 00:37:59,706
Speaker 4: And that's why I was such a great situation to

949
00:37:59,746 --> 00:38:02,506
Speaker 4: go down the temple with him and and feel like,

950
00:38:02,626 --> 00:38:05,466
Speaker 4: you know, he felt more comfortable too with myself going down.

951
00:38:05,626 --> 00:38:07,626
Speaker 4: You know, imagine that you go to a new place

952
00:38:07,626 --> 00:38:09,786
Speaker 4: and you have your your number one guy that you

953
00:38:09,826 --> 00:38:12,186
Speaker 4: can just throw past to. You know, it just makes

954
00:38:12,186 --> 00:38:14,786
Speaker 4: you feel more comfortable and more confident. So and we

00:38:34,146 --> 00:38:36,346
Speaker 1: that whole crew. Like, they've got a great group there

966
00:38:36,386 --> 00:38:39,186
Speaker 1: in Tampa. I know you're gonna be going in a

967
00:38:39,186 --> 00:38:42,626
Speaker 1: little bit so real rapid fire stuff. First one, uh,

968
00:38:43,026 --> 00:38:45,426
Speaker 1: cooler hang like when you're out at night, like who's

969
00:38:45,426 --> 00:38:46,026
Speaker 1: who'd you rather?

970
00:38:46,186 --> 00:38:48,026
Speaker 2: Is it Edelman or is it Brady? Like who's the

971
00:38:48,026 --> 00:38:49,426
Speaker 2: guy you want to be with in the club?

972
00:38:49,866 --> 00:38:52,586
Speaker 4: Well, definitely I would have to go with Edelman because

973
00:38:52,666 --> 00:38:53,906
Speaker 4: I don't even think Tom's.

974
00:38:53,626 --> 00:38:54,466
Speaker 3: Going to make the club.

975
00:38:54,946 --> 00:38:58,786
Speaker 4: So seven is that Yeah, he's not making it to

976
00:38:58,786 --> 00:39:00,706
Speaker 4: the club. So if I picked Tom, I'll just be

977
00:39:00,746 --> 00:39:01,546
Speaker 4: there by myself.

978
00:39:02,786 --> 00:39:05,426
Speaker 2: That yeah, Okay, that was that one.

979
00:39:05,626 --> 00:39:09,306
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Post, Brady Post, Gronk post all this this

980
00:39:09,386 --> 00:39:11,226
Speaker 1: Baker could still be good.

981
00:39:11,786 --> 00:39:14,146
Speaker 4: What do you think I think he'll I mean they

982
00:39:14,186 --> 00:39:15,946
Speaker 4: got a good offense. They got a lot of weapons

983
00:39:15,986 --> 00:39:17,866
Speaker 4: around them. I mean, with that new with that running

984
00:39:17,866 --> 00:39:21,146
Speaker 4: back is going to be second year, then Evans, yeah,

985
00:39:21,226 --> 00:39:23,146
Speaker 4: Rashad White, then Mike Evans, Chris Godwin.

986
00:39:23,186 --> 00:39:24,186
Speaker 3: I mean, they got weapons.

987
00:39:24,346 --> 00:39:27,226
Speaker 4: Mean, Mike Evans is one of the most underrated receivers

988
00:39:27,346 --> 00:39:30,026
Speaker 4: in the NFL history, and he's had a thousand yards

989
00:39:30,026 --> 00:39:33,666
Speaker 4: every single year. But I think he I think he

990
00:39:33,746 --> 00:39:36,626
Speaker 4: does like decent, a little bit above average. You know,

991
00:39:36,866 --> 00:39:38,946
Speaker 4: he's gonna it's going to extend his career a little bit.

992
00:39:38,986 --> 00:39:41,426
Speaker 4: It's gonna maybe make him a starter I think for

993
00:39:41,466 --> 00:39:42,626
Speaker 4: about three more years.

994
00:39:42,666 --> 00:39:43,866
Speaker 3: But uh, he'll have.

995
00:39:43,826 --> 00:39:46,226
Speaker 4: A decent year, but it's not going to be in

996
00:39:46,506 --> 00:39:49,066
Speaker 4: a great year, but it's going to be a year

997
00:39:49,106 --> 00:39:52,026
Speaker 4: where it solidifies him as being an NFL starter.

998
00:39:52,146 --> 00:39:52,426
Speaker 3: Still.

999
00:39:52,986 --> 00:39:55,906
Speaker 1: Last one, Jimmy Graham, as we're doing this recording, announced

1000
00:39:55,906 --> 00:39:57,266
Speaker 1: that he's returning to the NFL.

1001
00:39:57,386 --> 00:39:58,386
Speaker 2: Or he's been in the NFL.

1002
00:39:58,386 --> 00:40:00,826
Speaker 1: He hasn't retired, but at thirty six, is signing with

1003
00:40:00,866 --> 00:40:04,506
Speaker 1: the Saints two years away. Your advice to Jimmy Graham

1004
00:40:04,946 --> 00:40:06,506
Speaker 1: on his quest to get back.

1005
00:40:07,506 --> 00:40:08,466
Speaker 3: That's wild, man.

1006
00:40:08,506 --> 00:40:11,266
Speaker 4: That was mind blowing when you sent me that text

1007
00:40:11,266 --> 00:40:12,146
Speaker 4: message this morning.

1008
00:40:12,186 --> 00:40:13,946
Speaker 3: Thank you for breaking the news to me, Peter.

1009
00:40:14,066 --> 00:40:17,146
Speaker 4: But the reason why I can see this work for

1010
00:40:17,226 --> 00:40:20,186
Speaker 4: sure is because Jimmy Graham is a basketball player.

1011
00:40:20,226 --> 00:40:21,906
Speaker 3: He has a basketball background.

1012
00:40:22,106 --> 00:40:24,826
Speaker 4: And let me tell you, those basketball guys with basketball

1013
00:40:24,866 --> 00:40:29,226
Speaker 4: background they last forever. There's something just different built in them.

1014
00:40:29,226 --> 00:40:31,066
Speaker 4: It's just because of the way that they've been running

1015
00:40:31,106 --> 00:40:33,426
Speaker 4: around their whole life. I feel like they stay in

1016
00:40:33,466 --> 00:40:36,666
Speaker 4: shape for longer periods of time than football players, and

1017
00:40:36,746 --> 00:40:39,106
Speaker 4: having that basketball background, I feel I can make them

1018
00:40:39,186 --> 00:40:42,066
Speaker 4: last for a long time. And he must have been

1019
00:40:42,146 --> 00:40:44,586
Speaker 4: doing something right over the last two years as well

1020
00:40:44,906 --> 00:40:47,826
Speaker 4: that wants that is making him get back to the game.

1021
00:40:47,986 --> 00:40:50,626
Speaker 4: So I would just say the hitting aspect, I'll just

1022
00:40:50,666 --> 00:40:53,586
Speaker 4: get used to the hitting aspect in training camp and

1023
00:40:53,706 --> 00:40:54,466
Speaker 4: get some time off.

1024
00:40:54,466 --> 00:40:55,546
Speaker 3: You're thirty six years old.

1025
00:40:55,546 --> 00:40:57,346
Speaker 4: Get a day or two off so you can recover

1026
00:40:57,426 --> 00:40:59,306
Speaker 4: from all that, and I'll go out there and do

1027
00:40:59,386 --> 00:40:59,706
Speaker 4: your thing.

1028
00:40:59,786 --> 00:41:00,106
Speaker 3: Jimmy.

1029
00:41:00,146 --> 00:41:01,866
Speaker 4: I mean, you're not coming back because you don't think

1030
00:41:01,866 --> 00:41:04,266
Speaker 4: you can do it. Obviously you think you can do it,

1031
00:41:04,266 --> 00:41:05,346
Speaker 4: and that's why you're coming back.

1032
00:41:05,346 --> 00:41:07,586
Speaker 3: So do your thing. Man, be cheering for you. Man.

1033
00:41:07,866 --> 00:41:09,946
Speaker 4: It's kind of a little situation I kind of went through.

1034
00:41:09,986 --> 00:41:12,146
Speaker 4: But he did two years off, so maybe I'll do

1035
00:41:12,186 --> 00:41:14,426
Speaker 4: two years off now. They might be inspiration for me.

1036
00:41:15,746 --> 00:41:18,386
Speaker 4: So if he does well, I'm only thirty four, I'll

1037
00:41:18,386 --> 00:41:19,506
Speaker 4: be thirty five next year.

1038
00:41:19,506 --> 00:41:21,626
Speaker 3: After years, let's go. Let's go, Jimmy.

1039
00:41:21,706 --> 00:41:22,626
Speaker 4: Let's see what you got.

1040
00:41:23,266 --> 00:41:25,906
Speaker 1: My last one, we were at this big Fox event

1041
00:41:25,986 --> 00:41:28,266
Speaker 1: and everyone has to come in and take photographs. And

1042
00:41:28,306 --> 00:41:30,226
Speaker 1: it's one of these deals where it's like you see

1043
00:41:30,226 --> 00:41:33,746
Speaker 1: in these music video shoots where it's manufactured. There's like

1044
00:41:33,786 --> 00:41:36,906
Speaker 1: a fake wind machine and they're like, here, hold this football,

1045
00:41:36,946 --> 00:41:38,266
Speaker 1: and there's dance music going.

1046
00:41:38,346 --> 00:41:39,386
Speaker 2: There's this promo shooting.

1047
00:41:39,786 --> 00:41:42,106
Speaker 1: The energy was all right, and we're all going one

1048
00:41:42,146 --> 00:41:45,106
Speaker 1: by one and you know, Michael Vick is going up there,

1049
00:41:45,226 --> 00:41:47,066
Speaker 1: I'm going up there, and then.

1050
00:41:46,986 --> 00:41:47,866
Speaker 2: Chris is going up there.

1051
00:41:47,866 --> 00:41:50,826
Speaker 1: We bring it, We do our best, and you know,

1052
00:41:50,906 --> 00:41:54,266
Speaker 1: it's Glazer, it's everybody. And then there's this moment where

1053
00:41:54,386 --> 00:41:56,106
Speaker 1: you go up there and it's like all right, ground

1054
00:41:56,226 --> 00:41:58,506
Speaker 1: go and I see a different side of you, and

1055
00:41:58,546 --> 00:42:00,786
Speaker 1: it's like the lights are on and you're able to

1056
00:42:00,786 --> 00:42:02,626
Speaker 1: turn it on and you're the most charming guy to

1057
00:42:02,666 --> 00:42:04,986
Speaker 1: everybody in that room, and it's like the camera can't

1058
00:42:05,066 --> 00:42:06,826
Speaker 1: escape you, and I'm like, holy.

1059
00:42:07,266 --> 00:42:09,946
Speaker 2: In that moment, I'm like, that's it. That's the quality.

1060
00:42:09,946 --> 00:42:11,826
Speaker 2: That's what makes this guy so special. He's got this

1061
00:42:11,906 --> 00:42:14,026
Speaker 2: ability to just bring everybody in.

1062
00:42:15,026 --> 00:42:16,986
Speaker 1: I was in awe of watching you just having to

1063
00:42:17,106 --> 00:42:19,746
Speaker 1: like be gronk and it's I don't know if it's

1064
00:42:19,746 --> 00:42:21,346
Speaker 1: exhausting being that way every day.

1065
00:42:21,346 --> 00:42:24,346
Speaker 2: But it's authentic, man, it is you. What do you

1066
00:42:24,386 --> 00:42:25,106
Speaker 2: attribute that to?

1067
00:42:25,186 --> 00:42:27,146
Speaker 1: That ability to make everyone else feel great and to

1068
00:42:27,226 --> 00:42:30,266
Speaker 1: kind of just bring energy and happiness enjoying what you're doing.

1069
00:42:30,426 --> 00:42:33,746
Speaker 4: Peter, when the lights go on, I'm always ready baby.

1070
00:42:33,986 --> 00:42:37,826
Speaker 4: When it's showtime, one of his game time, I'm always.

1071
00:42:37,466 --> 00:42:39,906
Speaker 3: There, baby. And that's why Tom loves me. He always

1072
00:42:39,906 --> 00:42:41,306
Speaker 3: knows he can go to me, baby.

1073
00:42:41,426 --> 00:42:43,466
Speaker 4: Everyone knows they can go to me. That's why Fox

1074
00:42:43,546 --> 00:42:46,586
Speaker 4: call me because they know when that camera light switches on,

1075
00:42:46,706 --> 00:42:49,026

1091
00:43:22,866 --> 00:43:26,826
Speaker 4: like there's no BS downtime or sit around time. It's

1092
00:43:26,826 --> 00:43:28,506
Speaker 4: like when we're on, when we're on, when we're off,

1093
00:43:28,546 --> 00:43:30,266
Speaker 4: we're off. And I was like, all right, well, three

1094
00:43:30,306 --> 00:43:32,986
Speaker 4: minute photo shoot, I'll give you my best. Usually my

1095
00:43:32,986 --> 00:43:35,186
Speaker 4: photo shoots when i'm doing them for a brand or

1096
00:43:35,186 --> 00:43:37,146
Speaker 4: a company, the three four hours, so then that can

1097
00:43:37,186 --> 00:43:37,786
Speaker 4: get a little tighter.

1098
00:43:37,786 --> 00:43:40,066
Speaker 3: And I was like, three minutes. I'll give it my all, baby,

1099
00:43:40,146 --> 00:43:40,506
Speaker 3: let's go.

1100
00:43:41,146 --> 00:43:48,306
Speaker 2: There's so many jokes we can make. Gronk on that note.

1101
00:43:47,106 --> 00:43:49,626
Speaker 4: I gotta go get my girlfriend. I gotta go drive

1102
00:43:49,666 --> 00:43:50,866
Speaker 4: to a train station right now.

1103
00:43:50,906 --> 00:43:51,586
Speaker 3: That's what I'm doing.

1104
00:43:51,626 --> 00:43:53,626
Speaker 4: You asked me the first question, what am I doing?

1105
00:43:53,986 --> 00:43:54,266
Speaker 4: Am I?

1106
00:43:54,706 --> 00:43:54,906
Speaker 3: You know?

1107
00:43:54,986 --> 00:43:56,426
Speaker 4: Am I downtime? Now I gotta go.

1108
00:43:56,386 --> 00:43:57,786
Speaker 3: Pick her up at the train station.

1109
00:43:58,226 --> 00:44:00,506

1116
00:44:12,866 --> 00:44:14,706
Speaker 2: the Gronk experience. That was awesome.

1117
00:44:14,906 --> 00:44:22,386
Speaker 1: Forty minutes, a ton of energy, stories, vulgarity, tenderness. I'm

1118
00:44:22,386 --> 00:44:27,226
Speaker 1: bringing in our producer, Grace fuse Grace. You are in

1119
00:44:27,266 --> 00:44:30,066
Speaker 1: for Aaron Wang Kaufman, who is world traveling at the

1120
00:44:30,066 --> 00:44:33,346
Speaker 1: start of training camps. Not ideal for an NFL podcast producer.

1121
00:44:34,186 --> 00:44:35,986
Speaker 1: You are at work today, How are you doing?

1122
00:44:36,386 --> 00:44:38,386
Speaker 2: I'm good? How are you great?

1123
00:44:38,426 --> 00:44:41,426
Speaker 1: What did you think of the Rob Gronkowski experience we

1124
00:44:41,546 --> 00:44:42,106
Speaker 1: just endured.

1125
00:44:42,306 --> 00:44:45,506
Speaker 5: I thought he was hilarious. I loved it so many highlights.

1126
00:44:45,786 --> 00:44:49,266
Speaker 2: Great, right, and that's him, Like, that's authentic.

1127
00:44:49,626 --> 00:44:52,466
Speaker 1: It's not like he suddenly becomes like a bookish like like, Okay,

1128
00:44:52,506 --> 00:44:53,946
Speaker 1: I'm just going to be rude to people like he's

1129
00:44:53,986 --> 00:44:56,546
Speaker 1: that way, And I think that authenticity is so real

1130
00:44:56,666 --> 00:44:58,146
Speaker 1: and I so appreciate it.

1131
00:44:58,266 --> 00:44:59,546
Speaker 5: Absolutely great vibes.

1132
00:45:00,586 --> 00:45:04,226
Speaker 1: He did mention he wrote an article in college about

1133
00:45:04,266 --> 00:45:06,186
Speaker 1: wanting to be a Tampa Bay buccaneer. I know you're

1134
00:45:06,266 --> 00:45:08,546
Speaker 1: very good in research. Do you have the microfiche out?

1135
00:45:08,626 --> 00:45:10,466
Speaker 1: Have you found said article that.

1136
00:45:11,906 --> 00:45:13,626
Speaker 5: What do you think he I think he meant paper.

1137
00:45:13,826 --> 00:45:17,266
Speaker 5: I actually I did do some searching. I tried to

1138
00:45:17,306 --> 00:45:20,906
Speaker 5: find the Gronk article. I did not find anything.

1139
00:45:21,066 --> 00:45:24,346
Speaker 1: So I'm ordering the Arizona school paper. It's the University

1140
00:45:24,346 --> 00:45:28,266
Speaker 1: of Arizona. Question, that's the school paper. The school paper

1141
00:45:28,506 --> 00:45:33,146
Speaker 1: is the Daily Wildcat. Wow, I think he probably.

1142
00:45:32,866 --> 00:45:33,466
Speaker 2: Meant a paper.

1143
00:45:33,546 --> 00:45:36,106
Speaker 5: I think he meant a paper. Yeah, I'm curious what

1144
00:45:36,426 --> 00:45:41,706
Speaker 5: class would be relevant for that, but I really hope

1145
00:45:41,706 --> 00:45:43,946
Speaker 5: that he has it in his file somewhere.

1146
00:45:44,106 --> 00:45:45,746
Speaker 2: And this is the best part about the season. He

1147
00:45:45,786 --> 00:45:48,546
Speaker 2: tells an amazing story about Earl.

1148
00:45:48,346 --> 00:45:51,266
Speaker 1: Thomas, you know, Hernie, eating his disc and puncturing as long.

1149
00:45:51,346 --> 00:45:54,146
Speaker 1: He gives us really good insight on what it was like,

1150
00:45:54,306 --> 00:45:57,026
Speaker 1: you know, going to a contract negotiation with Belichick. And

1151
00:45:57,106 --> 00:45:58,466
Speaker 1: yet the whole time, in the back of my mind,

1152
00:45:58,466 --> 00:46:02,346
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is he talking about? That he wrote

1153
00:46:02,346 --> 00:46:04,906
Speaker 1: a paper that he wanted in college about wanting to be.

1154
00:46:04,826 --> 00:46:07,706
Speaker 2: A teddy buccaneer. I gosh, I would love.

1155
00:46:07,586 --> 00:46:10,306
Speaker 1: To find out if he meant article paper mentioned it

1156
00:46:10,386 --> 00:46:11,986
Speaker 1: once or I don't.

1157
00:46:11,746 --> 00:46:14,186
Speaker 2: Know, but that is uh, that is awesome.

1158
00:46:14,426 --> 00:46:16,106
Speaker 1: I'm so excited, so Grenk's gonna be taking on a

1159
00:46:16,106 --> 00:46:19,306
Speaker 1: bigger role with Fox NFL Sunday. He did a lot

1160
00:46:19,346 --> 00:46:21,546
Speaker 1: at the end of the season last year. And I'm

1161
00:46:21,546 --> 00:46:24,266
Speaker 1: telling you it's like I wasn't yes sing when I

1162
00:46:24,266 --> 00:46:26,986
Speaker 1: said that great, Like, he just has this amazing electricity

1163
00:46:26,986 --> 00:46:27,266
Speaker 1: to him.

1164
00:46:27,266 --> 00:46:28,706
Speaker 2: And you know those people in the world that like

1165
