I drink coffee whenever 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:14.280 I'm hungry, and it stops your appetite. I kernel fast 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.760 in the Morning's still a little run with my big 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.080 old dude, two miles things like that.

You get on 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.560 the trunk a little distance due I spread. I have 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.280 to go, So I do interval training, so I like 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.160 do the liptical and that. It's like this called the 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.080 fat man thing. So you go, uh a minute, you 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.560 go twenty two minutes and every minute what you do 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.320 is you go forty five sex. The last fifty eight 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.080 seconds of that minute, you goes hard and fast. You 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.360 can go do you stop and go back to your 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.440 stride and goes fast. You go and get your heart 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.520 rate up and down, up and down, and that's how 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.680 you lose fat faster. So twenty two minutes. Any incline 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.240 on that or no. No, It's like it's like the 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:04.120 resistance like ten to twelve then when you you're about 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.720 to do your fifteen seconds, I bumped up five and 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.160 he goes fashion go that you bump it down. So 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.760 it's usually the inclines, you know, the lipicals. You know 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.560 it's pretty high. Yeah. Yeah, But the guy who made 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.200 his living knocking people's heads around sitting there on a liptical. 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:24.640 I'm just trying to get now now, I don't I 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.359 don't know. I got my sweat jacket on. I don't 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.040 need I don't need it no more so. And I 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.640 do my jumping pump class or do spin class. But 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.200 when I don't do spin class for a while, man, 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.520 it takes me about three, three or four days to 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:39.840 get used to hard saddle sore man, that's what I'm 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:45.520 telling that how hard it's a quad but everything in 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.400 there I understand now why lands he has one test scoo, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:54.200 man worried. That's hard man. You don't wear the pike shorts. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.440 That's no, that's hard on your scroll man, listen, but 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.160 the pike shorts, that's a no no for me. But 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.600 with the but already built in it, yeah, you know, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.600 I can't. I give people credit for rolling around and 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.560 as you as usually some sixty seven year old white 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.720 man that wants to walk around, it's gotta be a 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.760 white man. Yeah, with a jump, but black. Further of all, 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.720 black people don't really get old bikes fur of a 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.160 black people. A lot of black people don't even go 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:24.840 to the gym, let alone get on a bike. They 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.240 might they come and play basketball. That's the car they're 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.800 gonn play. Black people go play raquetball. Older black man, 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.679 go play racquetball and basketball. You catch me on elyptical, 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.560 but you won't catch No, I'm not. I'm not touching that. 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.000 So I let the dunkin doughnuts. Today I got my 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.520 coffee and I tweeted this out. If you aren't going 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.040 to put the shopping cart back, then don't use it. 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.400 I always love the parking lot with fifty of the 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:54.960 spaces occupied by carts. Now people started getting on me 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.159 saying this is a cryptic tweet like I was talking 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.320 about the Jets roster or something. I was piste off. 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.200 I went to the parking lot to get to get 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:09.359 my coffee this warning, and they're shopping carts everywhere. You 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.000 ever get that way, you come on, you got a 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.320 ding on your door? Like what happened? Like people just 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.320 put the car and walk away, or they let it 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.080 go right here on and they put it here and 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.600 it roll slowly. When they leave, it starts rolling and 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.760 hit your door, and they don't care. They just take off. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.479 I'm one of those people. Americans are lazy, man like this. 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.440 It's called spade to space. How hard is it to 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.120 put your stuff in there? At least a lot of 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.680 people have like they have, like the little section where 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.400 you put all the carts and there you just push 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:39.600 them in there. Lazy lazy. Americans are lazy, lazy, the 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.280 fattest country in the world. I'm one of those people 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:46.599 who if I even thought about it, I have a 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.280 guilty conscious even thinking about it, like I should I 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.800 leave it here? People trying to put it in between 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.159 both lanes and so then when you come in, you 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.599 you gotta stop and move it out the way, put 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.720 up on the grass so that you can pull it 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.000 into your spot. And it's it's so lazy man, because 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.039 they could at least did that, at least put the 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.080 front wheels up on the top so it's not touching 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.760 nobody's car, so we're not in a So I's ticked 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:13.440 off this morning.

I'm like, no, I'm actually getting a coffee. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.640 And I just wanted to put this out there because 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.880 I just wanted to tell people that is a pet peeve. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:27.159 What are some of the mad backers pet peeves? Huh? 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.480 Is there anything that gets you gone? Because we know 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.600 from time to time you showed some emotion. Let'll tell 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.159 you what I hate. I hate thieves, man, I hate 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.640 I hate. I hate thieves like these people that take 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.120 stuff and people like that really irritates me because even 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.320 even with the drug deal of the hustler, at least 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.120 they working for it. You know what I mean. It 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.640 takes nothing to it takes no energy, no talent, know 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.120 anything to have somebody work for something. It's still the 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.120 man as I ever got. Somebody stole my clothes out 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:58.159 the washing machine in college, you know that's that's like 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.120 the thing like somebody walking around whether you have at 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.960 a laundrom in a laundromat and then your dorm in 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.120 the dorm, in the dorm on the dorm on the floor, 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.479 we had washing machines, went in there, went back, came 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.000 back clothes gone, Like who steals wet clothes. Why do 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:17.760 I want another man's clothes? If you do have enough 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.600 money to for your own clothes, you know, and there's 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.600 people unbelievably suffering in this world, and that's a different 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.760 deal altogether. But why would you want another man's clothes? 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.720 It's white clothes. I mean, you're in college. But still, 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.600 I'm saying, you in college, so you think that okay, 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.880 you're wearing the jeans and it should be okay every 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:38.920 day you should be all right, you know, you shouldn't 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.480 have to do that. And I can see we're at 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.800 a group home and somebody were going to watch close by. 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.880 Still because ain't nobody got nothing? But you think most 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.440 people in college has at least enough. You know, you 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.360 may not be rich, I said, everybody go to college 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.920 is rich. But it's still another man's clothes. Like, come on, man, 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.640 I'd just be wrong because now you can you can 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.840 never wear them? No, can you put it on and 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.120 kill you? I'm saying, then you so, I man, and 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.600 you never I never saw my polo shirts. He must 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.560 have did it transfer for something for clothes, the dumbest 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.440 thing ever. But yeah, man, I can't stand. I can't. 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.160 I can't stand when you ask somebody, particularly women like 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.120 you know, like my wife doesn't do that because you 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.560 know it's the pet people of mind. But when I 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.880 was growing up and you take somebody out, you ask 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.280 me they want something, they say no, and they soon 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:21.920 ad you get your stuff, you get nice and ready, 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.040 they start reaching over eating out nachos or something like that. 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.960 I just asked you, did you want something? I just 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.160 want a couple. Well, I've got you a whole thing. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.440 But these are mines. I hate that pet people. I 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.920 love my mom and she's the same man, but she's 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.240 the same way. She ordered the salad and you get 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.920 the burger and the French fries and getting together just 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.520 having a family dinner and should always be reaching in 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:50.440 for those French tries. Want to fry? I just want 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.680 to take a few. So so we just got back 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.960 from the desert. I wanted to ask you favorite places 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:04.640 in this country to travel because Arizona to me, what 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.760 best cities to play in? No, No, just to travel 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.640 too if you're gonna have some time off, because Arizona 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:15.360 to me, between October in March, that's one of the 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.240 finer places in the country because it's still on the 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.200 nineties and you got those great resorts there. And there's 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:26.280 no water in Arizona, but everybody's got pools spot country no, 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.120 but no grass, just grabl grabl front yards. You have 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.760 to get used to that and getting cactis and stuff 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.280 like that. Oh you know a lot of them have 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:37.560 artificial turf as grass and the Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.240 Uh you know what for me? Well, not right now? 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.040 What best cities to kind of visit? Yeah? I love Chicago. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.800 Chicago is one of my favorite cities. Western guy Chicago 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:54.800 and d C. I love d C. Um. I love Houston. Um, 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.240 Now Houston, that's interesting. Houston is nice. Biggest city in 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.200 the world. I think, Well that's why because Houston is 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.600 more spread out. But yeah, it's more spread out, so 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:05.800 you know, if you don't feel it on top of 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.240 each other. But it has all the amenities that you 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:08.840 will want, you know. I mean, it could be a 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.040 fast city, could be a slow city. You can do 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.600 like the trial and country stuff where you can speed 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:17.360 it up, you know what I mean? Um where else? 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.080 San Diego is cool? But I love San Francisco. Okay, 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.320 San Francisco is nice, man, No, it's beautiful. I love 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.319 San Franco never gets really warm there. Yeah, Like Mark 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.080 Twain always says that the coldest winter he ever spent 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.959 was a summer in San Francisco and San Francisco, and 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:38.600 we went out there and shot for the Super Bowl. Man, 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.240 it was so cold, like fifty degree. And it's weird 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.240 because inland, the closer inland you go, it's smoldering. It's weird. 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:49.400 Something about the water and the atmosphere from the from 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.800 the ocean comes out and sucks the heat out. But 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.000 then in inland, the farther the inland go, it was 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.920 like So it was like sixty degrees in San Francisco. 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.280 We went more inland, it was like a hundred. Right, 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:05.240 It's crazy Golden gate Bridge. Okay, So let's get the 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:10.000 serious topic over the weekend. The buses actually are playing 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:14.120 touchdown in Phoenix. We get on the buses and we 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:21.520 are informed that Dennis Bird, at fifty years old, died 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:26.880 in an automobile accident where a young driver, seventeen year 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:34.360 old kid, crossed into incoming traffic and hit Dennis. Um. 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.439 When you heard the news, what want through your mind? Well, 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.200 for me, I couldn't believe it. And the only thing 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.680 I can compare it to is a soldier going away 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.880 and doing like ten tours and duty and coming over 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.440 and being a victim of drive by shooting. Because you 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.440 think about everything that Dennis Berg has overcome, you know, 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.000 you think about, you know, getting paralyzed and then told 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.680 you would never walk again, only to defy the odds 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.760 to to to walk again. I don't need to walk again, 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.480 but to live and to live his life in such 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.560 a way that inspires other people to be the best 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.400 versions of themselves. And that's what Dennis Burg meant. He 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.080 was an inspiration. He's a light to everybody about not 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.360 giving up. You know. He played with such a passion 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.520 and a joy, and it's just one of those things 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.640 it's hard to really swallow, you know what I mean, 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.720 because like he's like, come on, not him, He's he's 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.240 he can't he can't explain it through so much like 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.800 you're saying, is that you're looking for answers and you're saying, Wow, 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:34.640 here's a guy who was paralyzed, paralyzed and then determined 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.840 to walk again, and he got up and walked again. 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.400 And the guy said Bart who played with them, said 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:46.360 he kind of stayed away from the organization after coming 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.240 back a little bit, because football meant so much to him, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:53.240 he had to remove himself from it. And then though 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:58.559 we had him back a few times recently, Tirer's number 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:05.040 and I was in a liven January Jets Patriots Division 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:11.920 round of the playoffs. You guys had Dennis come and 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.960 speak to the team. Do you remember that night? Absolutely? 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.280 Team team captain as well. He was the team captain. 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.319 Carritge Jersey out there to the to the middle of 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.880 James I had to boat dig and Lathenien Thomlinson with 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.839 the number ninety exactly man, And he really was the 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.440 the inspiration and the feel of the fire that we 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.760 played with. We played with such a passion, we played together, 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.440 we played with emotion, we played under control, you know, 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.080 and um we we owed a lot to him. And 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:42.280 after the game, you know, um, I get this this shirt. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.240 I'm like, and what's this? And he gave me his 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.680 the shirt that they cut off of him when he 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:53.120 got injured, and he said, I reminded him of itself. 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.560 And you know, for some player like that, you talk 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.120 about a guy that was a budding star, you know, 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:04.600 talking about seven sacks and right exactly, Actually I think, 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.920 you know, I mean, And for him to see a 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.720 little bit of himself and me, you know, made me 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.760 feel like I was doing the right thing. I played 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:14.920 the right way. I know a lot of people can't 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.559 handle the emotions sometimes and the passion and the words, 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.560 and sometimes it can be misunderstood. But he understood it 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.800 because he played with the same to nasty, the same 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.760 joy and passion. You know, it's a child's game, and 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.360 he played with that for so for him to see 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.320 a bit of himself and me, you know me, it 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.560 was truly remarkable, inspirational, you know. And I played with 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.160 that with that shirt, and you know me, I've never 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.480 wore sleeves ever. I wore sleeves because I had his 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.600 shirt and it was a big shirt because it's much 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.600 larger man than me. And you know, it inspired me. 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.520 And you know, I was hurting, but I failed to 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:51.960 to I refused to succumb to my circumstances. And you know, afterwards, 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:53.960 you know, I put it in the frame and it 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:58.040 sits in my trophy case. And and it's imperfect because 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.760 they sold it back together, but they couldn't sow it 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.800 back to together perfect. So the letters don't match up 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.800 one side to the to the next. But it's um, 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:10.560 it's beautiful, just like he was. Do you they have 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.040 trouble because I do. This is something that I was 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.160 thinking about over the weekend and set so that happens 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:24.200 Saturday night, and I feel like it just became just 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:28.320 another storyline with the scroll, you know, like, oh, yeah, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.160 Donna's bird, who's that? Yeah, you know, it didn't really resonate, 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.480 it didn't start. It didn't start because a lot of 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.160 people didn't know his story. But I think you know, 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.760 you talk about Joe Nama really talking about it yesterday. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.160 You know, they gave you know, we gave him time 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.680 on our show as well. Um, and I think everybody 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.520 played to pay tribute to him, because I think he 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.920 was an inspiration to everybody, you know, for what he 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.720 was able to overcome. You know, you look at the 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.920 other guys that weren't able to stand up, are able 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.400 to walk. You think about Mike Utley, and we all 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.640 understand and and all have that fear that it could 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.160 be us. We all know that that's what we signed 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.320 up for. It. It's a possibility on the back of 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.880 the helm and it says could cause death warning, you know, 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.360 we we know what we play, and so whenever we 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.720 see one of our brothers go down, you know, it's 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.440 always you know, it puts us in touch with our 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.640 with our mortality. How about the way he hand on 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.960 himself though, Like when he talked to you guys, things 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:27.800 like he never came across as a person who woe 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.640 is me? That why did this happen to me? And 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.080 it would be natural to have those thoughts, and he 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:38.560 never never expressed that. And he also was so grounded 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.240 in his faith that you could see the light in them, 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.680 you know, like you could see this is a man 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.640 at peace with where he's at. To to to most 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.360 inspirational people I have ever met in my life, Dennis 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.920 Burg and O. J. Bragatz and and the thing that 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.840 goes for those guys have in common is not whoe me? 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.560 Why not me? You guy gave me this because he 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.480 knew I can handle it, so I can champion it 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.480 to inspire other people that they can fight. And those 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.919 are the best type of leaders. So our prayers and 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.120 thoughts go out to the Bird family who actually might 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:18.520 be here this weekend. It's homecoming weekend for the New 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:23.200 York Jets. They wore number ninety details on their helmets 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.240 Monday Night Football. But it's just it's a painful loss 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:31.280 for people like yourself. And I talked to Marty Lyons 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.040 and Marty was so close with him. He said, they 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.280 drafted this guy in the second round out of also 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:41.040 to replace him, and he said he was a good kid, 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.040 and people don't realize how good of a football player 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:50.200 he was. But then talking about his faith and how 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.360 he was at peace, and also the courage he showed, 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.320 and you know the love that he brought to the table. 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.200 I just I go back to thousand on eleven that 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.239 the Patriots game. A lot of people didn't realize that 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.800 they just caused the can't wait game because what we did, 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.040 and you know the rent that I had, But they 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.800 don't realize what few that, what what what happened the 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.560 days before leading up to that, and you know how 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.360 he inspired us? And they forget. Now they go back 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.720 and they find that footage of us carrying his jersey out, 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:21.439 But a lot of people didn't know what that man. 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.520 Did you think about bird before lighting up that day? 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.359 I mean, you have to man, you know he he 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.000 what did he say to you about Saturday night? Do 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:30.760 you remember what he was just talking about. You know, 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.000 the crime is not getting knocked down, it's not getting 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.359 it's getting back up and playing together and being a team, 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.920 being a unit, playing together, which was what he was 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.480 all about, you know what I mean, during your role 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.120 playing your part, you know what I mean, playing without fear. 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:47.480 You know, it was it was a beautiful thing, man, 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.439 And you know that was perfect for us to go 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.399 out there and carry that jersey case. I think it 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.360 really put us all in the right mind set right 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.600 there what we were playing for that you know, we 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.399 we we it puts life and perspective what life's all 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.680 about when you get a Mexas like that twenty four 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.760 hours before something that you think is it's the biggest 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:11.000 day of your life for the biggest opportunity. Yeah. Uh, 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.399 Like I said, this weekend, be emotional and hopefully the 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.720 bird family is able to come and prayers and well 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.720 wishes are with them, and you know, but I gotta 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.920 think that it is in a better place right now. 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.840 I mean it's good to be able to you know, 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.359 for us to be able to celebrate him in the 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:34.600 proper way and let his family appreciate, you know, them 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.640 allowing us to to to share in his life and 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.040 for us to be a part of his life, you know. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.280 And so I think it's important to help them with 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.720 the healing process, you know, just as much as it 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:46.840 is for us to heal as a fan base, as 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.480 a as Jett nation, to heal together. We keep on 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.840 losing people. We continue to talk about that. Uh. People 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:58.879 great to the Jets family, tremendous people. And we we 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.760 talked about a couple of weeks ago, Arnold Palmer and 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:08.280 a young picture from the Marlins and then a guy 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.119 who you would a chance to meet on a number 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.639 of occasions. And you're a boxing monster, boxing fan, Aaron 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.640 the Hawk Prior. I did not know that. You did 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:23.080 not know that that's my favorite boxer all time. Oh 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.760 my god, you didn't know all that. No, that's my 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:29.439 favorite boxer of all time, Aaron Prior Hawk Man? What 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:33.520 time is it? Hawk time? Aaron Prior Man, that's my 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.600 favorite box of all time? Man Sugary Leonard ducked him. 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.080 He didn't want to fight him. He was crazy. The 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.560 only man I've seen get knocked backwards, fault, roll over 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.800 and get up and go sprint before the ref can 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:49.359 even do. The official count. He's back throwing punches. The 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:53.479 fight between him and the lectures. Yeah, the black bottle, 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.960 Patama Lewis or forgot Panama, forget his last name, got 0:20:58.000 --> 0:20:59.959 barred because he had the black bottle. What do you make? 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.400 And and then you know they fall in the Remax 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:07.120 rematch and he beat him and Lexie Oguyal said, I've 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:10.199 never been hit with two hands before, and he was like, 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:14.959
