It's 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: the greatest thing since bonding with your dad about sports. 15 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: My love of sports came from my dad, Like many 16 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: fathers and their children, we frequently talked about sports, and 17 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: his favorite teams became mine. Between the NFL and NBA, 18 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: NHL and Major League Baseball, those teams have combined for 19 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: one championship. So thanks Dad for passing down a lifetime 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: of frustration. In all seriousness, most of my favorite childhood 21 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: memories involved sports, and many were spent with my dad. 22 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: I can vividly remember when he took me to my 23 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: first Major League baseball game. It was nineteen seventy three. 24 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: My oldest sister, Kim, was an exchange student in Argentina 25 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: and when our program was finished, we drove to New 26 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: York City to pick her up at Kennedy Airport. It 27 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: was my dad, my other older sister, Chris, and me 28 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: on that trip. My dad took us to Shay Stadium. 29 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: It was August twenty eighth, the Mets against the Podres. 30 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: I remember Jerry Morales leading off the game with a 31 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: home run for San Diego. I remember the impossibly high 32 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: leg kick of the Mets outstanding rookie pitcher John Mattlack. 33 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: I remember how heartbroken I was that my hero Willie 34 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: Mays was not in the Mets starting lineup. And I 35 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: remember when my sister Chris asked our dad when halftime 36 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: was because she wanted to see the marching band. Chris 37 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: was not a big sports fan. Most of all, I 38 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: remember how magical it felt to be there, the immaculately 39 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: groomed perfection of a major league diamond, the enormity of 40 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: Shay Stadium while sitting in. 41 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: The upper deck. 42 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: It was a movie set come to life, and to 43 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: that point, it was, without question, the highlight of my life. 44 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: Here's another great sports memory with my dad. When I 45 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: was about fourteen or fifteen years old, he took me 46 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: on a weekend golf trip, even though he almost never played. 47 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: It was about an hour drive and the course wasn't 48 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: particularly memorable, but we played golf for three straight days, 49 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: ate every meal at restaurants, shared a hotel room, and 50 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: watched sports on TV at night. It remains one of 51 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: my favorite weekends. Ever, now that I'm a dad, I'm 52 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: savoring having similar experiences with my son. If you ask 53 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: Sam to name the best day of his life so far, 54 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: he'd undoubtedly say it was attending the Bengals Ram Super 55 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: Bowl in Los Angeles, and when he recently made his 56 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: first birdie, I felt like I'd made a hole in one. 57 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: So on this Father's Day, I'm grateful for bonding over 58 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: sports with my dad, Larry Hord, my stepfather, Jack Bailey, 59 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: my father in law, Paul Rasconi and my son Sam, 60 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: and I sincerely hope that you have been as blessed 61 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: as I've been.

I have the perfect guests for this particular holiday. 72 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: Jimmy Burrow, father of Joe, Jimmy Chase, father of Jamar, 73 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: two buddies who were at Bengals practice recently and are 74 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: kind enough to join us on the podcast. I want 75 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: to start by asking each of you guys this question. 76 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 1: When did you first know that your son was different 77 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: from the other kids athletically. Jimmy Burrow, why don't you 78 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: go first. 79 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: Well, you know, third, fourth, fifth grade, he was We're 80 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 3: in a small town, so he was the best athlete 81 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 3: in his age group. So but as I said, there's 82 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 3: not many many people here, so he kind of take 83 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: that with a grain of salt. And then as he 84 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 3: started playing baseball, basketball and football, just started having a 85 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 3: lot of success. And and you know, he would he 86 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 3: would hit home runs and score a lot of points 87 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: in basketball. So it was just probably just several things, 88 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 3: but really football tenth grade is when I realized that 89 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: he could he could really have some opportunities to play 90 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: Division one football. 91 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: Jimmy Chase, how about you? 92 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 4: Oh? 93 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 5: I want to say it started like around seven, eight, 94 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 5: nine years old. He's playing basketball and this is his 95 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 5: first year playing basketball, and all the other kids had 96 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 5: been on the team already and he was the newest 97 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 5: one on the team. So they put him on a 98 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 5: team with the guys that wasn't that good, okay, and 99 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 5: it was like one against five. Jamo just took it 100 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 5: to the whole team, you know, and I was like, wow, 101 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 5: this little boy is crazy. And then every year it 102 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 5: just happened over and over again. 103 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: You know, we've all heard stories about dads training their 104 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: kids at an early age, sometimes excessively. So what did 105 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: each of you guys do to aid in your son's development? 106 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: Jimmy Chase, how about you go first on this one. 107 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 5: Well, I had Jamaal on a rigorous workout at an 108 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 5: early age. Okay, he was doing push ups. Every time 109 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 5: I got in trouble, I made him do push ups. 110 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 5: And you know, I think that developed his work ethic 111 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 5: over the years, you know, because I always had him training, 112 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 5: I always had him working out. I always had him 113 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 5: doing something to showing up his craft at an early age. 114 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: Jimmy Burrow, Well, he played so many different sports. 115 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 3: I guess you know, we were just as a as 116 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: a parent, we were there, you know, being positive and 117 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 3: supporting him certainly as he got older. 118 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: We would watch some film here and there, here and there. 119 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: To a lot of times when I was coaching, I 120 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: couldn't watch his his uh a lot of his early 121 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 3: age football games, whether it was third fourth grade, and 122 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 3: and we'd sit down and watch it, uh kind of 123 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 3: have fun with it, you know. I didn't grind him 124 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 3: and say, hey, you know, Monday night at eight o'clock, 125 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 3: we're going to watch film or something like that we 126 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 3: just kind of uh did it periodically. And and the 127 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: good thing about Joe and I think Jamar is the 128 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: same way as they. They love practicing, and uh so 129 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 3: you don't you don't really have to as they as 130 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 3: they grew up, probably and Joe for sure, I'm sure 131 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: Jamar that you didn't have to encourage them. 132 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: Hey you got to go to practice today. 133 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: I mean they wanted to go to practice, they wanted 134 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: to get better, and they wanted to hang out with 135 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: the friends. And so that all all added up to 136 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: to just being there for for. 137 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: Joe and when when he needed us. 138 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: How insanely competitive were they as kids? And here's a 139 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: key question. When you played against them, whether it was 140 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: a board game, whether it was shooting free throws, whatever, 141 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: did you let them win? Jimmy Burrow, you go first? 142 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: Not really, But it didn't take long for me not 143 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: to have a choice in h in those type things. 144 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 3: But that was the one thing I guess I I 145 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: saw at an early age how competitive. 146 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 2: Uh he was. He he wasn't a very good loser. Uh. 147 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 3: You know, you try to teach sportsmanship, but uh, I 148 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: think he respected his opponents and their their coaches. 149 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 2: And but you know he was a terrible loser. 150 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: And and uh really still is and that's just part 151 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 3: of his competitive fire and and uh but he had 152 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 3: he had teammates and friends like that too, so uh, 153 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 3: you know that that was good for for his whole 154 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 3: early stages in athletics. 155 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: Did you let jamar win? Oh? 156 00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 4: I tried not to. 157 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 5: Okay, he has a real, real serious competitive edge, right. 158 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 5: Jamal used to cry when he lose, right, He used 159 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 5: to blow a gasket. And I used to have to 160 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 5: kind of like control at it because if he's losing 161 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 5: or he's behind, he gets so furious he starts crying 162 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 5: and he goes bananas. So I had to like kirktail 163 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 5: that at an early age. That was my biggest thing, like, 164 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 5: calm down, catch your bread, take your time. He was 165 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 5: he was delirious, right, But we never played games together 166 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 5: because number one, he didn't want me to beat him, 167 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 5: and then number two, I didn't want him to beat me. 168 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 4: You know. 169 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 5: I asked him to show me how to play the 170 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 5: PlayStation game, and he said, you press the A button 171 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 5: and you press the B button, right, But they had 172 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 5: more buttons, and I'm like, you're pressing all them buttons, 173 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 5: you know, so. 174 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 4: Like we couldn't play together because he didn't want to 175 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: lose to me. You know, I didn't want to lose 176 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 4: to him. 177 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: So your son's awry that lsu together or at the 178 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: same time. Basically in twenty eighteen, Jamar was a freshman, 179 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: Joe was a transfer from Ohio State. Do you remember 180 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: hearing your son talk about the other dad's son for 181 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: the first time? And what did they say, Jimmy, Chase 182 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: you go first? 183 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 5: Well, I told Joe got there before us, right, And 184 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 5: I told Jamal they got this quarterback named Joe Burrow. 185 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 4: He's coming down. He's like, yeah, I don't know that, dude. 186 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 4: I don't want to go down, you know. 187 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 5: So like he didn't really talk about Joe. He didn't 188 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 5: know much about Joe, you know. And it didn't happen 189 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 5: until they got that till he got that with him, 190 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 5: But prior to that, he wasn't really concerned about Joe. 191 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: When did Joe start telling you about Jamar? 192 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 3: Well, I mean soon his practice really started when Jamar 193 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: was there. 194 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 2: I mean he knew he had Jamar. 195 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 3: He said, I got some special special guys at receiver. 196 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 3: It's just a matter of you know, getting us all 197 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 3: together and and uh he said, Jamar, I think was 198 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: it was a freshman, so uh it took him a. 199 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 2: While to to really jail and come together. 200 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 3: But uh then then after that that first year in 201 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: the summer, Joe he just said that he he had 202 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 3: a chance to in his teammates and his team had 203 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 3: had a real chance to to be, uh be special. 204 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 3: And and he always knew, you know, Jamar was once 205 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 3: they started working together, that they they had a had 206 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 3: a bond that that it's it's just hard to explain, 207 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: and it's hard to get that bond with with quarterback 208 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 3: and receiver, but they they had had it fairly quickly, 209 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 3: and and uh, you know, it gets it's fun to watch, 210 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: and it gets better every every year. It's pretty amazing. 211 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: So the following year L s U might have been 212 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: the greatest team in college football history. That go fifteen 213 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: and oh, Joe wins the Heisman, throws sixty touchdown passes, 214 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: Jamar wins the Blitakoff Award, he catches twenty touchdowns that season. 215 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: What was that like for you two guys as parents, 216 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow or Jimmy Burrow rather you go first, Well, 217 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: it was. 218 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: You know, it was a lot. I mean, there was 219 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 2: a lot going on. 220 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 3: We're trying to to interview agents, you know, I interviewed fourteen. 221 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 2: Robin and I here here in Athens. We're going to 222 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: all the games. 223 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: I had retired, so that made it easy for me 224 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 3: to get to the games. Robin was still working, but 225 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 3: she had gone to all of them anyway, So it 226 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 3: was just an exciting time to be a part of it. 227 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: And then you said, might be. 228 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 3: The greatest team. It is the greatest team. So that's 229 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: you'd have trouble convincing Jimmy, Chase and I otherwise. But 230 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 3: just to watch that team grow, it's really the first team. 231 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 3: And I coached for many years and watched a lot 232 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 3: of lot of teams, it's the first team that I 233 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: ever saw that literally got better every game. I mean 234 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 3: the second game they were better than the first. The 235 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 3: National Championship, they. 236 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: Were just better as a team. And that's offense and defense. 237 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: So combine all that with all the awards, you know, 238 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: we had Baton Rouge, Lsu, Tailgates or the best, you know, 239 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: the Chasers have so much going on. Being from New Orleans, 240 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 3: we didn't really get that close until really. 241 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: We got here. 242 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: But We were good friends there and tried to spend time. 243 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 3: But those tailgates are are are just unbelievable and we 244 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 3: have our own now and the Chases are part of 245 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 3: it and we. 246 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 2: Really become close as a family. 247 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: What was twenty nineteen like for the Chase family. 248 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 5: Was it was crazy and it was amazing at the 249 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 5: same time. You know, like Joe, like Jimmy said, you know, 250 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 5: the tailgates started it off. 251 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: That was an all day event. But then we would go. 252 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 5: To the games, and then the games would be like crazy, right. 253 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 5: We would see jim and Robin at the game. They 254 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 5: would be on one end of the role or in 255 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 5: front of us. As soon as Joe DROs Jamaar touchdown, 256 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 5: they turned around and screaming and holler. Sometimes we were 257 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 5: sitting next to each other, but we were so into 258 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 5: our own kids at the same time. 259 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 4: You know, it was like it was crazy. 260 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 5: But you know that year, the practices were better than 261 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 5: the games, right, the practices, right, I'm like, Joe won 262 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 5: me over in practice because every time a fight broke out, 263 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 5: Joe was in the middle of the fight, okay. 264 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 4: And I'm like, man, this dude here, this dude is 265 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 4: not regular. 266 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, But because we had a 267 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 5: good d fence that year and the defensive. 268 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 4: They were hard nosed that Joe was going toe to 269 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 4: toe with him. 270 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 5: But you know, that year was so crazy, and you know, 271 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 5: every year, like Jimmy said, every game, it got better 272 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 5: and better.

I'll give 291 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 3: you another example. After the National championship game. You know, 292 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 3: they they snapped the ball. Joe has the ball and 293 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: uh later that that night, because that that ball is pretty. 294 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: Valuable, uh national championship ball. And I said, uh, uh hey, Joe, 295 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: where's that ball? I want to take it home with 296 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 2: us and stuff. 297 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: And he said, I gave it to Jamar And I said, 298 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 3: you want gave it to Jamar? I said, uh, you know, 299 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 3: your dad might have liked that. And he said, Dad, 300 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 3: Jamar had like one hundred and fifty yards passing yards 301 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 3: that day or something. 302 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 2: He deserves that ball. So that's that's just again, how 303 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 2: how those two guys roll together. 304 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I have that ball. 305 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 3: I figured out we have so many things that a 306 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 3: lot of times our sons just they get so many 307 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 3: different things that, uh, you know, winning is still the 308 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 3: most important. 309 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: So we we do. 310 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 3: Get get a lot of things that that that maybe 311 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 3: they they either don't have room for in their in 312 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 3: their house choose to to to not not display it. 313 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 3: But we'll take care of that. 314 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: So one of the happiest moments of my life as 315 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: a sports fan was the semi final game against Oklahoma 316 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: because at that point we know that the Bengals have 317 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: the number one pick in the NFL draft. Joe goes 318 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: out and throws seven touchdown passes in the first half. 319 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: Jamar was completely unstoppable. Now, we didn't know that we 320 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: would get Jamar at that point, but that was kind 321 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: of my favorite Joe and Jamar college story. Do you 322 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: guys have a favorite moment of favorite game, something that's 323 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: etched in your memory from the connection between your two 324 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: sons at the college level. Jimmy Burrow, you go first. 325 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: I think for me, it's still the national championship. 326 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 3: You know, Joe had had lost a tough state championship 327 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: game is his senior year, and so so that was 328 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 3: always only his mind to win a championship. And then 329 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 3: you know, we got behind fairly quickly to Clemson, so 330 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 3: we're going, oh, no, this this could. 331 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 2: Be a problem. 332 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 3: But uh, just the way they came back and dominated 333 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 3: and and to see all those guys on the stage, 334 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 3: you know, that's that's about as proud as as a 335 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 3: parent could could get to know, one they're undefeated, and 336 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 3: two they just won the national championship and accomplished. Really, 337 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: why Joe why he went to LSU was to have 338 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: a chance to win that national championship. 339 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 2: So, uh, that was pretty incredible. 340 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: Do you have a moment, Jimmy Chase. 341 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll say it was the National championship game too, 342 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 5: because like, Jamal has never won a championship in football. 343 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 5: He lost the state championship in high school to Clyde 344 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 5: Edward Hilaire. I'm still mad about that, okay, but that 345 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 5: was his teammate. But we lost the high school championship 346 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 5: and that was his first real championship. He didn't win 347 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 5: anything in parkball and football he won. Jamal is a 348 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 5: basketball player. So anyway, in the National Championship game, I 349 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 5: was like, Joe has the confidence to keep going to 350 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 5: him in this big game, you know it, because it's like, 351 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 5: like Jimmy said, we was behind and we had to 352 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 5: come back from behind, and Joe was going to Jamal. 353 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 5: Now nobody else seeing this, but this is when I'm like, 354 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 5: y'all don't understand what's going Joe much really believing this, 355 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 5: dude if he's drawing it, because Joe is not gonna 356 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 5: throw you the ball if he don't have confidence. 357 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you that, all right. 358 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 5: So Joe Borrow is Jeorge Jamal to ball and everybody's 359 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 5: all exciting and dancing and singing, you know, happy because 360 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 5: they winning and they catch the ball, and I just 361 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 5: sat down.

Sot, Jamal, 369 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 3: That's true. 370 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: All right, Let's fast forward to the twenty twenty one draft. 371 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: Jimmy Burrow. Did Joe tell you he's always been kind 372 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: of coy about what he said to the Bengals. Did 373 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: Joe tell you that he wanted the Bengals to select Jamar? 374 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 2: Yes? 375 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 3: I think we figured that and eventually, yes, he pretty 376 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 3: much told us that he wanted Jamar and he thought, well, 377 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 3: he just knew how good a player, how great a 378 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 3: player he was. And you know, Jamar is not only 379 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 3: a great football player on the field, he's a locker 380 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 3: room and influenced too, And Joe knew how he'd fit 381 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 3: into the culture of the Bengals and how he'd be 382 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 3: able to interact with his teammates. So it all added 383 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 3: up and and uh, and that's who we we wanted 384 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 3: to Robin and I, I mean, once you see somebody 385 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 3: do the things we saw Jamar, do you know, there's not. 386 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 2: Not many like him, and we needed him. 387 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 3: And uh, that's that's who Joe wanted to draft. 388 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: Also, Jimmy Chase, were you hoping that Jamar would be 389 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: reunited with Joe Burrow and Cincinnati? 390 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 2: No tool for those guys. 391 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know anything about Cincinnati. 392 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 5: They's not really that good right now, So why don't 393 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 5: we just go to South Beach? 394 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: Right? 395 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 5: I could sit on the I could sit on the beach.

And you know, Jamo was just sitting there waiting. 413 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 5: But he knew if he got with Joe Borrow, it 414 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 5: was gonna be a different story, you know. 415 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 4: I mean, I liked Joe, I didn't like Cincinnati, you 416 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. 417 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 3: We got with Jimmy and Talla, I think the day 418 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 3: or two after they first got to Cincinnati, and we 419 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 3: met up for breakfast or launch, I can't remember, and uh, 420 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 3: we eased their their minds about how great Cincinnati was 421 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 3: and the weather is not that bad, which you know 422 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 3: at times they found out it is. But they had concerns, 423 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 3: and you know, we were there for him, and like 424 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,239 Speaker 3: he said, they didn't know anything about Cincinnati.

And uh, you know a 493 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 3: lot of people say, well, everything looks so easy for 494 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 3: for Jamar Well, it's not because how athletic it is. 495 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 2: It's it's how hard he works. 496 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 3: To to be able to to show that athleticism So 497 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 3: that's that's something that I think is very admirable about Jamar. 498 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 5: Another thing that a lot a lot of people don't 499 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 5: know is that, you know, during the COVID year, when 500 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 5: he set out, everybody was like, what he's going to do, 501 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 5: how he's gonna look, he's been sitting for a whole year. 502 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 5: Jamal did not sit for a whole year during that 503 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 5: COVID year. When he set out, he worked out like 504 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 5: every day, almost twice a day. 505 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 4: I had to really like slow him down, like, no. 506 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 5: Dad, I gotta, I gotta do this because you know, 507 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 5: I didn't play, and he tried to over compensate for 508 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 5: not playing, and I had to slow him down because 509 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 5: he was He's a gym rat. 510 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 4: You know, he's a gym rat. 511 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: I posted a picture of the two of you guys 512 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: together at a Bengals practice recently, and Bengals fans went nuts. 513 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: They loved the fact that you two guys seem to 514 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: be such good buddies. Why did the two families hit 515 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: it off so well? 516 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 4: Well? 517 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 3: I think again, Uh, you know, we knew that that 518 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 3: Jamar and Joe had become over the years really good friends. 519 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 4: There. 520 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 3: As we said, there there's a lot of similarities in 521 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 3: the two you know, there just the way they handle things, 522 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 3: their mannerisms when they get together. You know, it's like 523 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 3: a couple of old junior high classmates or something. And 524 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 3: we also know how important each one of them is 525 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 3: to to to the other, and so that creates even 526 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 3: more of a bond. But uh, you know, I grew 527 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 3: up in Mississippi. It's not New Orleans, but it's truly 528 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 3: the South. So I think that that helps too, that 529 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 3: you know, I know what the culture really is down there. 530 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 2: My wife's been been down there enough to to understand 531 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 2: what it's like. 532 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 3: So you know, that creates even more of a bond 533 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 3: between us. 534 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: Give me chase. 535 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 5: It's like we really like the same type of people, 536 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 5: you know, fun loving people, like to have a good time, uh, 537 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 5: care about their kids, you know, and just all around 538 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 5: good people. 539 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:05,239 Speaker 4: You know. 540 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 5: Then we find out, I think another thing is like 541 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 5: we're the only ones that we can really talk to, 542 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 5: you know, because we experienced so many similar things, you know, 543 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 5: and it's like, you know, as we get into this 544 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 5: next level and things are evolving, you know, it's like 545 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 5: who do we able? Who are we able to turn to? 546 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,479 Speaker 5: So we was able to turn to them, and they 547 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 5: helped us out a lot. And at the same time, 548 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 5: I guess we was like a buffer for them because 549 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 5: they were able to be relax and be themselves. 550 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 4: You know. So it just it just happened, you know 551 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 4: what I'm saying. 552 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 5: It just happened. And then Jimmy like oysters. Okay, so 553 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 5: hey I. 554 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: Do Oh yeah, I like it. 555 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 3: Jimmy tells me I go to the wrong place in 556 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,479 Speaker 3: New Orleans though, Like, so next time down there, I'm 557 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 3: going to whatever he tells me to go to. 558 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 559 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: I read correctly that the two of you guys have 560 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: some sort of pregame superstition involving seeing each other at 561 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: the tailgate before the game begins. 562 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 3: We tried to and I think it's a little more 563 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 3: Robin and Talia. Uh, we joined in on that. So 564 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 3: if we mess them at our at our tailgate, Uh, 565 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 3: you know, we we try to find find a way. 566 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 3: We used to be in the stands now you know, 567 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 3: we're up in the suite area. But uh, yeah, we've 568 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 3: been over overcome. Not not communing, but but we'd prefer 569 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 3: knowing that we've seen each other and been with each other, 570 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 3: even if it's for a quick wave from a cross 571 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 3: play or something. 572 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 4: They were. They was winning. 573 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 5: The Bengals was winning, so we didn't want to do 574 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 5: anything to stop them. 575 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 4: From winning, that's right, So we stayed with you. 576 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 5: Well, you know, the last time we went, we seen 577 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 5: Robin and Jimmy, let's go find them again, you know, 578 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 5: and it just happened like that, and yeah, it works. 579 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, don't don't mess with the mojo. Half of 580 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: Bengals fans. Don't mess with the mojo. Final thing for 581 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: you two guys, and I appreciate your time. I think 582 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: Bengals fans want to know. Should we feel confident that 583 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: Joe and Jamar are going to be NFL teammates for 584 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: a long long time. They're both nearing the point where 585 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: they're going to get massive contract extensions. What do you think, 586 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: Jimmy Burrow, you go first. 587 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's that's what we want. And and 588 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 3: you know that that's other teammates too. We we we we. 589 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: Want them with the Bengals as long as possible. 590 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 3: You know, as I said that the bond that they 591 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 3: have with each other and and how each other lanes 592 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 3: on it on the other and relies on the other, 593 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 3: I mean there's no way you'd want those two not 594 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 3: not being to gather. And uh, you know, contract extensions 595 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 3: and negotiations are are complex and they take a while, 596 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 3: and uh that I'm confident that those two guys will 597 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 3: be together for really their whole careers. 598 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 4: Well, I definitely want them to be together. 599 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 5: And I think Jamaar does too, you know, because I 600 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 5: was talking to him one time and I was telling him, 601 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 5: you know, this is the NFL and this is a 602 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 5: business also, so you know, you might have to go 603 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 5: find another quarterback. 604 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 4: He was like, no, death, I'm staying with Joe.
