WEBVTT - EA Podcast: Episode 21 with Bart Scott 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.000 Hey, this is Ryan Fitzpatrick and you are listening to 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.160 the e A podcast with Eric Allen. Take it Away. 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.240 It's Thanksgiving week, bart Scott in the House. Speaking of 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:16.680 Bart Scott in the House, what are your plans for Thursday? 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:18.840 But I tell you what, Well, you know, I'll be 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:20.720 on the air working, so it's almost like I'm still 0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:22.799 a player. But the great thing is I don't have 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.319 to get hit. I'm not sad. Rather I win or 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:28.000 lose because I don't. I don't have a permanent record, 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:30.880 and I'll be done at four o'clock, so I'll go 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.440 in at UM twelve. And I think this year we're 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.200 gonna try something different. Um the wife and the family, 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.080 just something intimate. We're gonna stay in the city. Uh, 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.800 she's gonna cook Thanksgiving dinner at home. We're gonna bring 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.919 it to the hotel with us, and we're gonna roll 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:46.800 around in the city, probably go look at the tree 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.519 lit up. What the tree doesn't get lit up to 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.640 the Wednesday, We're gonna probably go ice skated or something 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:55.120 like that. So I'm gonna do something kind of fun, 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:56.640 you know, trying to switch it up a little bit 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.440 and let the kids look at the lights and you know, 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.280 hang out now, you were saying, and before that, the 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.400 way your hotel is situated is that you might be 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.200 able to see the parade, the Macy's Day parade go 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.120 right by Thursday morning. Right, Well, I thought I could 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.440 because I thought I thought the parade went through Fifth Avenue, 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.000 So I was gonna get a room at the Peninsula. 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.880 You know, I got a connection there. But I think 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.640 it goes down the Broadway, but I'm still on fifty four, 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.640 so if we want, we can kind of just step 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.320 out and see him go by on fifty I believe 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.600 we coach throt or something like that, so we can 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.680 check it out that way. But you know, it's only 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.880 an easy walk. It just depends on if the wife 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.080 wants to be dealing with all the craziness, because I'm 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.120 sure it's gonna be barricaded and you don't have to 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.520 get funneled and stuff like that. The funnest time we 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.679 ever had is, or the most access we had, is 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.760 we had like a roped off part at Trump Trump 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.840 Hotel right there in the circle right where it stops, 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.240 you know, So that was cool, But you know, you're 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.680 out there a long time holding kids, on on your 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.520 head and it's one of those things that sound good 0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.960 but unless you got like the bleacher seats or something 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:05.120 like that. Yeah, Like Saturday, it felt like the world 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.000 was coming to an one. I was down in Maryland, 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.240 was seventy degrees and a couple of hours later and 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:13.280 the winds started whipping. The sky got dark and ominous. 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:14.920 It's like the end of the days. Man. I was like, 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:20.200 oh man, what's going on? So you can't eat Thursday though, 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.880 because those guys, I've seen the spreads that you guys 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.720 have you treated pretty well at the NFL today. How 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.480 are you going to refrain from taking all that in? Well? You, well, 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.280 you know what. We have the early game, so we're good. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.960 So our game, our game started at twelve o'clock. We 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.120 got the first game. It's always you always hope when 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.720 you have to work on thanksgive, you always hope you 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.240 got the first game. Because you got the middle game. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.080 Then that's that's even worse because your game starts at 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.200 the four you have, which is good game this year. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.280 That's one of those crossover game. Yeah, and it's a 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.679 great game for me because I grew up in that tradition, 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.840 you know, I grew up, you know in Detroit. You know, 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:58.520 it was always something that we could be proud of 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.920 it because no matter how bad we we were, the 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.680 people we were the two teams. It was usually it 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.440 was only two teams. You know, back in the day. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.880 They just added the third team since the whole NFL 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.920 network became more popular. But it used to be Detroit 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.320 at twelve, Dallas at four, and it's still that way. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.079 Did you ever go to any those games? So you 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.960 just watching on TV and watching on TV family members 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.720 that went to that game. But we have a parade 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.520 in Detroit as well. But for us, it was the 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.680 Turkey Bowl. We go out and play football before the 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.200 actual game actually come on. So you guys were playing 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.200 the morning because we were talking about your turkey Ball 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.079 last week. Is that you guys would get out there 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.040 in the neighborhood before, like you said, the twelve thirty games, 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.400 so you're probably playing what ninth thirties, Yeah, the little 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.240 turkey game. Go out there, has some fun, get all 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.920 louther dup get hungry. You know, you know the food 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.640 isn't ready at twelve o'clock my first game, but you know, 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.040 you start smelling the smelling the food. You eat a 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.680 good breakfast. You know. Sometimes you wake up everybody make 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.080 the biscuits and the pancakes and and the bacon and 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.680 the sausage and the ham and the hash browns and 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.760 the grids, and you go to town that way after 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.200 the turkey d you know, after the turkey bowl, you know. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.280 But you know, it's just a fun experience with the 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.480 great thing about thanks Giving and why I like things 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.960 giving a lot more than I like Christmas, it's because 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.960 it's not about receiving something. It's about fellowship. It's about 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.680 spending time with each other. It's about you know, stopping 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.560 and reflecting about how blessed we are, how fortunate we 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.239 are to be. Whatever situation you are, it's always somebody 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.560 that's willing to trade with you, that thinks that they 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.240 have it worse, that would love to trade with you 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.480 in any time. So it puts, you know, Thanksgiving put 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.599 you in the right perspective. I think Christmas is too commercialize. 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.760 It's more about you know, what we get and measuring 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.920 ourselves by the gifts that we give to others. Speaking 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.680 of that, do you do anything on Black Friday? Hell no, no, 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.320 because I can't stand I'm not about that like, I'd 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.960 rather wait three months and get on discount, and I'm 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.560 not about to sit up there and be fighting over 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.320 a toy. So the Scott family will will not be 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.480 out Friday. Shot about that when you guys be back, 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.160 because you're talking about some family coming to town, right, 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.600 are you gonna have like a post Thanksgiving celebrations that 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.400 you guys will be in the city on Thursday. Well, 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.880 we've always used to to that situation, but usually you know, 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.960 I have family come down and visit, you know, so 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.800 they haven't and once I come home from work, I 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.600 kind of joined with it. But this time me and 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.440 a wife wanted to try something different, something in me 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.039 with the kids. See how we can just be together, 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.400 have things, giving dinner and actually been the city and 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.400 mess round to kind of played to the fact that 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.159 I am in the city and then they don't have 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.160 to worry about, you know, taking an hour and a 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.240 half of me to get back. I'm already there, you know, 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.880 soon Stu is over with. I come straight from the studio, 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.080 which is probably two minutes from from where the hotel is, 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.560 and we can just kind of have some fun. Who 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:38.120 were your favorite line players growing up for Loman's Brown. Yeah, Lomas, 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:44.080 Luther Ellis, I'm going all the way back, um, Herman Moore, 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.760 Brett Perriman, Johnny Morton when they were fun, when everything 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:51.480 was wide open. I can't stand Scott mentioned yeah but yeah, yeah, 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.760 yeah yeah yeah but he oh man, he was. He 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:57.640 was like the Rob Johnson side. And he had one 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.480 great year with Miami, you know, uh, cashed in and 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.599 came to Detroit. The whole left. Yeah. Herman Moore was 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.840 a beast. Brent Perriman was like a you know, it's 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.880 funny because Perriman is playing for Ravens now his his son, 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:16.560 and Johnny Morton. It was exciting because you had Luther Ellis, 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.240 you got Chris Spielman, you got Robert Foscha. Yeah, you 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.440 had the Blade brother, you had one of the Blades, 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.440 you know. I mean, I don't know who which one 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.120 it is. So it was Benny. I think it was 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.360 Benny Blake, you know. So it was a time where 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.040 the Lions were actually pretty good. What about Barry? How 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.680 old were you when Barry was in his prime? I 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.279 mean I remember in high school playing at the Silver Dome, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.480 and I remember Barry was like getting busy three too, 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.600 because they were coming out the field from practice as 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.359 we were going for our game. He's like, get busy 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:48.480 three too. It's like, yeah, yeah, Berry said something to me. 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.840 So like you gotta think with you know. That was 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.400 probably like two years before he retired. I think Barry 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.240 got in and maybe ninety or nineties. Yeah, Barry maybe 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.280 got in the league at like need ninety one something 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.760 like that. So, yeah, I watched all the Barrio's career 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.200 because at that point I was watching football all the time. 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.960 What does that mean to you? And he just randomly 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.000 pick you out and say, yeah, I was walking by. Yeah, 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:13.760 I guess you can always tell who the sweet player. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:18.160 But high school I had my girl, I was looking sweet, 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.400 you know, and I had three to you know, thirty 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.000 twos usually, and in high school you can tell the 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.080 numbers of the players because you know, the players get 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.040 to pick the number they want. So you see guys 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.200 with ten, eleven, thirty two, because you know everybody you 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.880 don't have to wear a number four position, so guys 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.679 want the sweet numbers, you know what I mean? Sometimes 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.360 seven three. You know you ain't gonna seen No. Forty five, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.920 seventy five. You're not respecting that in high school? Who though, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.360 who was winning? Thirty two? Thirty two is my number 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.520 for everything, man, So it was Magic Johnson's number. It 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.040 was like thirty two was like all the sweet players 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.200 back in the day was wearing thirty two two. I 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:58.880 think so, yeah, Magic war thirt two. You know he's 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.600 from Michigan. You no doubt you ever wonder what it'd 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.000 be like, uh, tackling a guy like Berry from your 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.640 perspective as a linebacker, it was one of It was 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.160 the most disappointing thing in my career because he quit 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:12.760 so early. I just wanted a chance to take a 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.200 shot at him, did you you know what I mean? 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.120 And I think he retired. I think Bard retired and 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:22.680 like two thousand, two thousand or two thousand one. I 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.480 got the league in two thousand two. What did it 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.400 mean to you? Could you imagine that he's said something 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.320 to me in high school and I would have had 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.040 an opportunity to tackle him? What do you say that 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.440 anything to him? I have to tackle him, you know, 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:39.400 or miss him. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:40.920 mean I would have. I mean I would have been 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.080 one of those guys like Barry. Can I please had 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:47.880 his jersey please, because differently did that start the jersey stuff? Oh? 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.280 Like now, because I talked about that the NFL too. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.360 I don't know, it just started happening, maybe a couple 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.120 of years ago because of these guys like that. You 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.160 don't seem like a guy that would you would be 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.640 good with that. I could see you doing that with 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.400 Berry Sanders. Maybe no locker room or something. Only only 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.160 only jersey I ever, I ever took on the field 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.280 was one of my former teammates, like Jared Johnson, like 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.240 making me a jersey man. That's because we were we 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.280 were friends, we played against each other and we both 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.720 went separate directions, just going up to random guys like hey, 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.680 j j let me get to let me get your jersey. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.600 That's that's I don't know. You see it happen all 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.280 the time around here, like dude, you just lost and 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.720 now you just high five. And I couldn't this man, 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.480 I took it so serious. I couldn't. I couldn't after wards, 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.520 I can't sit down and we can't pray together, like no, no, 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:37.600 it wouldn't be No, I'll say my Lord's prayer when 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.280 we get in and we say the Lord's prayers the team. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.000 I'm not holding your hand and talking to you. Coom 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.800 bay y'all, No, bro, I just try to kill you 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:47.800 Detroit six and four. Do you obviously obviously you're a 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.880 commentator now and you're an analyst now, but the part 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.760 Scott who grew up there, do you kind of root 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.040 for them on the side, hoping that they do well 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.120 people in the community, You No, don't, don't get it. 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.080 I'm confused. I'm a Lions fan, yeah, you know, I 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:07.920 always will be a Lions fan. Um, I'm happy, you know. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.680 And Matthew Stafford is really his team now because now 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.640 I call it addition box attraction because he doesn't have 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.440 Calvin Johnson to lean on. He's playing a position where 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.560 he's going through his progressions. He's throwing the ball to 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.880 who's supposed to get the ball. He's not just forcing 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:22.600 the ball to Calvin Johnson so he can have his 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:26.240 ten to twelve you know. Um, you know attempts or 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.120 or or targets. So you think that just forced the 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.480 growth because spottom line is when you have somebody like that, 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.120 it's not a crutch, but it's just up. I can 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.240 throw it up and I know it's Carmelo ball. Let's 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.080 let's get the ball to Carmelo and let's everybody watch 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.079 him instead everybody feeling like, let me run my route 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.040 because if I'm open, you know he's gonna throw the 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.320 ball to me. There is a big game for them 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.760 at six and four. That and so the six and 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.920 four and remember Matthew Stafford. They've been behind in the 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.080 fourth quarter. I believe every game this year that they've won, 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:59.240 and Matthew Staffords come up big and you know, this 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.120 is pretty much a match because they took Minnesota to overtime, 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.360 uh last time, and Matthew Stafford made that crazy throw 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.600 to get it to a field goal range for like 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:13.160 twenty seconds ago, a couple of weeks ago, my point. 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:17.000 So this time, you know, the Minnesota virus have been sputtering, 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.400 you know, they have been sputtering downhill and they finally 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.000 got to win against Arizonia today. And now this is 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.199 for the division. Whoever wins this one is in the 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.360 first place in the division. And who thought that we 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.600 would ever be having this discussion because right now Green 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.600 Bay looks vulnerable. They just got demolished two weeks in 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.720 a row. I mean, they I mean, every time Aaron 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.040 Rodgers came back, Kirk Cousins came back with an equally 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.960 big play, just throwing the ball down the football field. 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.160 I didn't like him, but I think he's playing a 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.680 lot better. He was struggling early on this season. You know, 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.440 you know I didn't agree. I didn't think that. You know, 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.520 he was asking for top five money and he got 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.640 franchise and he bet on himself. And you know, right 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.280 now he's winning because now I love this Crowder kid. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.920 He played with so much energy and passion. He's always 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.440 getting open vertically. And I watched them take at least 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:05.200 four vertical shots they threw. They had to have Crowder 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.760 played it through. Yeah, they had to have at lease 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:13.720 at least five plays over forty yards. And I don't 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.360 I can't remember one of them going to de Sean 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.400 jackson't even Sean Jackson play yesterday. But you know they 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.960 went to Crowder, they went to Garth song Um. The 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.559 running back was growing crazy. So now green Bay is vulnerable. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.680 So this game is even bigger because it seems like 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.920 it's a two team racing this division. Now I think 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.160 green Bay has done. They're old, they're slow, they're not deep, 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.640 and I think it's gonna be some major decisions made 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.640 in the offset. What's coming up on today Thursday morning? 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.520 Do you know yet? Because there's always something emotional that 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:47.600 it's a tug because with the season we're talking about 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.679 family and also people on need and things like that. Well, 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.959 well just just think, just think about who's um, think 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:59.480 about who's who's playing. So the Vikings are playing, so 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:04.160 I'm sure be something you know, very heartfelt about Danny Green. Yeah, 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.360 you know, so I want to give away everything, but 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:10.120 you know it would be something we're reflecting. He gives 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.679 a little juice here on the podcast. I'm saying what 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:18.240 nobody else know that? What's your favorite Thanksgiving food? Um? 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.160 It usually be like the ham and the turkey, but 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.520 you know, the star has always been a stuffing. And 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.200 you know, I told you my wife does a great 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:29.719 job with the sage sausage stuffing off the chain. I'll 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.880 tell you what next time she makes it, I'll bring 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.920 you something, Okay, sage sausage stuffing. You know a favorite 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:40.160 dessert on Thanksgiving? I know you're watching Bart. Bart's looking 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.520 pretty swall on TV because he likes to come in 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.360 and get the morning work. No, no, no, no, you 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.439 inspire me man, because you are ripped up. We call 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.920 it rippling. Still a sexy billion wired your wiry, you 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:51.680 know what I mean. So it's harder for me to 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.800 look like you because I'm so much bigger. So I 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.320 gotta try and shrink down and try and look like you, 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.360 but a bigger version. Okay, all right, So you're gonna 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.800 eat dessert? How many half to? Yeah? Yeah? Absolutely, I 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.160 don't give it. I mean, you just you just got 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:04.640 you just gotta you just gotta run it off. What 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.800 are you gonna have? Um? My mom always makes banana 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:09.920 put it, and you know it's crazy. My my co 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:14.559 hosts on on my on my radio show, I always 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.400 say Danny, Amanda Laura. I always want to say Amadola. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.000 He came and he actually shot a show by my mother. 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.640 She stepped him. How she makes it banana putting makes 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:27.080 the the meringue out of egg whites, and she beats 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.400 it by hand and then whips it, put the sugar 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.560 in there and it makes them ringue. And then she 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.120 makes the put in out of the flower vanilla abstract 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.400 and all this stuff makes the banana putting that color. 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.400 She it makes it all by hand, and she made 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:42.040 the mom's bananas putty. Okay, So I love pumpkin pie, 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.680 and I wish more people and my family would make 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.600 sweep potato pope. It's it's kind of the same thing, 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:49.640 you know. It's weird. It's kind of the same thing, 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.200 and it's funny. It depends on what part of the 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.680 country you're from. It depends on like, because black people 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.160 don't make pumpkin pie. They always make sweetpotato pie, you 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.160 know what I'm saying. But you know, people in the South, 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.400 I want to say, make more sweet potato pie too, 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.400 and up north it's more pumpkin pie, and more Midwest 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.960 and maybe more pumpkin pie. I tell you what, what 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.880 nobody makes, so I don't think they make I don't 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.760 hear a lot of people making apple pies anymore. You know, 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.560 apple pies seems more like a spring that's not not 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.960 so much. I would agree with that. I feel like 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.440 apple pie has kind of it's kind of fell off. 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.560 It used to be American, you know, it's the most 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:27.240 American thing that you got. American is apple pie? No, 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.960 you know, peace Kylbers coming there a little bit. What's 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.960 the blueberry Kilbers kind of snuck in there, and then 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.160 everybody loves the cakes and makes cakes. You know, my 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.280 godmother makes a hell of a seven up upside down 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.840 pound cake. Yeah, pound cake. It feels like temper. I'm 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.480 not even playing. I don't know, you know how like 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.680 most of the ways more than fat Man like her 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.840 cakes per square uh inch man, it's like heavy. It's 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.520 like it's like gravel or something that's but it's like 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.840 seven up. They sprinkle seven up and they make the 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.560 inside of the batter. And they asked this like lively 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.560 lemon zessity taste to it. Chat's Patriots, What does that 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.240 mean to you as a player of that rivalry? Because 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.880 before that we always talked about it right here in 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.680 the studio during your first years, is it jet it 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:20.440 was you came from that monster rivalry, your South Baltimore Pittsburgh. 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.880 Let's say what The Patriots um rivalry is a little 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.240 different than the than the Stiller's Ravens, because that one 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.320 was always so violent, so physical. This one was more 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.920 about playing chess. It was about what was gonna be 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.920 the game plan and adjusting to it and out executing 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.800 the Patriots and also making the plays and they presents themselves. 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:43.800 See the Ravens still is just about two cars on 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.920 the track, and there's no Dodge and no fair Didge. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.360 It's like the tougher, the tougher guy wins. You know, 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.680 the tougher guy usually wins if you can get you know, 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.200 hits on Brady early. But if you're not making the 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.400 plays and making adjustments to their formations or whatever their 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.560 game plan of the week, it's it's tough sledding. So 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:03.480 it was more of a mental um sparring and physical 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.760 sparring here than it was just a physical and and 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:11.880 and so Steelers Ravens was a battle made for phone booth. Yeah, 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:13.720 it was a phone booth fight. That's basically what it was. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.159 It was like, okay, nobody's stowing jabs. If you're not 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:27.760 throwing the power punch and you can't you remember Harlem Knights. Yeah, 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:29.560 if you ain't breaking up Zo, you got you break 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.840 up Bazooka. And the smallest thing you bring is a 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.240 twelve game. That's a that's to to a Ravens game. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.000 But you know, when you when you talk about if 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:37.800 you want to use that same analogy, you want to 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.639 bring a sniper, you gotta you gotta bring some of 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.720 precision if you want to outthink. Uh, you know Bill Belichick, 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.480 he's one of the best to ever do it. You know, 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:46.800 you hate to get him credit, but you have to 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.840 get credit where credit is due. I feel like a 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.200 lot of times when you were the player here that 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.879 the Jets would were ground and pound outfit. Right. You 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.199 think about Thomas Jones, you think of Sean Green, you 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.440 think all those guys. You tried to run the football 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.440 and then defensively they'd approach you. Guys like you said 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.720 with that chess match, and because they did not want 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:11.640 to and they don't signing respect, is that they didn't 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.240 want to make it a physical context. They want to 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.040 spread your out and then try and get you out 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.879 in space and get somebody to mess up communication. So 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.600 they knew man for man, they really couldn't deal with us, 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.639 and especially you know the few games. I think the 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:24.919 one or two that we had Chris Jenkins like that 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:26.680 was game over. You know, if we could have kept 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.680 Chris Jenkins healthy, Yeah, I think that you don't play 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.520 with him much. Do you ever wonder what the defense 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.600 would have been like with the like that? I think 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.040 I would have won two Super Bowls with Chris Jenkins 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:37.720 because they would he would have ate up a whole 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.040 another person and we would have been able to do 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.320 things that you know that you know, you talk about 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.240 us not really having pass rushers when when he was here, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.120 but if he was on the field, you gotta put 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.000 two on him. So now you get a lot, a 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.360 lot more one on ones on the outside, and then 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:53.320 what are you gonna do when we're blitzing on the inside, 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.200 because he's gonna clear everything out for everybody he was. 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.760
