00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: of my discussion with both Joe Stalely and Patrick Willis,

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,960

00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Ballis. All right, we're gonna get this thing started,

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: and of course you gotta break the ice somehow. So

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: you guys have a favorite memory of one another. M h,

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: I got one, I got one. I well, I got

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: I got plenty with Joe UM. One would have to

25
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: be probably our the first time we ever showed up

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: and we got drafted UM and then showed up at

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: the airport. I showed up right before he did. And

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: you know, the cameras are kind of in my face

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, and all of a sudden they just

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: disappeared off me and went to the big guys went

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: and started going behind me. And so I turned around.

32
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: I see this big old tall kid from like, see

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: if we talk, kid, I have to realize, like that

00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: is Joe, and really, like I'll be honest, like I

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: didn't realize we had Wait, I take that back. I

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: think I knew we had drafted someone in this uh

37
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: in the late first round. But I wasn't really a

38
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: ship because that I mean, I was still just a

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: static who when I was like oh man. And so

40
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't until I got to the airport. I mean,

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry when I got to the airport that I

42
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,120

00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,440

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: new boys, and so I mean it panned out and

54
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: I started that it would just be Joe honesty, man,

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: like just going to practice every day and then seeing

56
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: how man, you would go ahead and practice and then

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: to see you in the game. Um balled out the

58
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: way he did, especially when you would get to catch

59
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: some passes like yeah, I was always awesome because I

60
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: know you loved I know he's a tight end and

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: it's not light, you know, getting the opportunity to, you know,

62
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: showcasing their skills wouldn't that. So he had plenty of

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: times when you get that very very big pleas in

64
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: the game too. So I remember him. Yes, yes, they

65
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: they kept they kept the ball doing when I mean,

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: you gotta go back out on the field so um,

67
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: and that brought me glory. I was really excited about.

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: Mind about Pat was I honestly was like I get sentimental,

69
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: like patsat such a standard so early for our football team.

70
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: It's and for me it's that like there's two guys.

71
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: Really it was like Frank Gore, who was a dude

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: that showcase. I mean, he was like the way to

73
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: work for me, Like I watched his work ethic how

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: he was. But then Pat's at such a standard of

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: like you can be super successful really really early in

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: the NFL, and he set that standard for me to

77
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: try to check. And it's like what it takes and

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: the talent level that he had in the way that

79
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: he was every single day and the practice way he

80
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: practiced every single day, and everybody knows, I mean we're

81
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: all there watching, watching and witnessing when he was here

82
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: in the football field. Um. But you know, I think

83
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: the thing I really appreciated about Pat was that it

84
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: was from day one of super serious business job then

85
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: like it was like he wanted to be great what

86
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: he wanted to do, and this is the way he

87
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: approached every single day was to accomplish that goal. Um,

88
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: so I've always I mean that stuff I always remember

89
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: about as like he really set the standard for the

90
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: whole football team and Joe, Man, I appreciate it. Man,

91
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: it's been and this is the first time that we

92
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: we actually like chatted like since you know retirement when

93
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: it since I retired in since he had since he

94
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: was retired down to one night. And so just to

95
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: hear that, man, I really appreciate it, because that's the

96
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: only thing I always told myself. I was like, you know,

97
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: they always be opinions and who people think are the

98
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: best players ever played. But for me, as long as

99
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: my teammates when him a look bad, they can say, like,

100
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: you know what, this guy came to work every day

101
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: like practice saying games or not that I could I

102
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: could say to myself like I feel like I I

103
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: I gave the game, like you know what I had.

104
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,320

Speaker 1: yeah on me taking it off to the left. But

141
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: what you were saying one night, like when when it

142
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: took off in that two thousand, I want to jump ahead,

143
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: but yeah, when it took off, man, it was it

144
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: was a ride that you know, said man when they

Speaker 1: where you saw much I would talking about my feet,

150
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,840

151
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: I was like, man, listen, we had four amazing seasons.

189
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: to play in all black reliformers. But um, I would

190
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: have said that, even though even though it was in

191
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,800

195
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,040

00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: some all black jerseys and were not always like mentally too,

197
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,280

Speaker 1: all right, we have to see you know what. And

00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: so they're always setting our retired so they have all

200
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: black jerseys on Monday Night. I'm like, oh, man, So

201
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: I would have loved to played in that in that jersey,

202
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: but my frame would probably just be the red um,

203
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: not the you can say the original reboke, not that

204
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: when that that jersey would kind of what kind of

205
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: red back. But it was it had been like it

206
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: had been like the Rims that we were like maybe

207
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: two thousand toil money night game that real solid. Just

208
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,000

230
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: played and he stead he talking. He'd be talking so much.

231
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, don't talk to me, man, I ain't

232
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: got nothing to say. He's also it's like that you

233
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: can't talk to me, and I'm like no, man. So

234
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: after the game and he had to be like, Bro,

235
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: why do you all you're trying to talk to me

236
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: man during the game. I don't have nothing to say

237
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: to you. Don't trying to take your head on, so

238
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: I stop talking to me. And that was he was

239
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: the one person that was usually like the player. I

240
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: remember mostly trying to have conversations outside. Did yeah, that

241
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: that was about. It was doing more something that one

242
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: or No. No, I honestly didn't talk much in the

243
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: football field. It was more of like communication just to

244
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: the guys. And I was kind of worried about it,

245
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: like doing our own thing, um and and and if

246
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: we were talking, it was never like there's not a

247
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: lot of actual trash talk that goes out in the

248
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: football field like they think is in movies and stuff,

249
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: at least not never on mind. It was like, hey man,

250
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 1: how you do? How you been like? Or you know,

251
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: what's up? It's nothing like it's like what Marshawn does.

252
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm coming for you. Let's play like

253
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: all that Hollywood stuff that you hear like in the

254
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: movies and stuff. It's not like that. And I'll tell

255
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: you what, Joe and you should have been on the

256
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: side dealing with what's his face? One of the guys,

257
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: I what's his name? Inconno, what's his name? Richie? Oh?

258
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it was just maybe it was just us. Yeah,

259
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: although I will say that Boom Boom didn't try talking

260
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: to that's me. Boom was here, Boom was he was

261
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: just laughing at him, like man, like stop talking about Yeah.

262
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: That Boom was the one that I remember from y'all

263
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: from from my office and would always be doing all that,

264
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: just just extra. He'd be like that in practice, Todo

265
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: like talking to us like that in practice, and I'd

266
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: be like Boom, like, no, man, not don't talk to

267
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: us like there because we're destroying the anyways. It was like, no,

268
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: that was good, good, good, okay, um Joe. A question

269
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: to you from Reaper Remix said, who is the trump

270
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: the toughest person that you've had to line up against? Um?

271
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: I would say probably DeMarcus Ware during the course of

272
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: my career. Um. He was just hard matchup for me.

273
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: I just never had a clean game against him. I

274
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: played probably four times against him, and it was never

275
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: like a I never felt real good about the performance

276
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: every week. He was just really unique as far as

277
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: what he did. The game that I what's the most

278
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: like psyched out was when I played straight hand Michael

279
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: straight and my rookie year, his last year, and it

280
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: was completely just a mental thing for me. I was

281
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god, I'm going against Michael straighthand

282
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: like this is a guy who watches a kid. It

283
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: was like my third game, fourth game in the NFL.

284
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: So I completely like mentally sucked myself out, had a

285
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: miserable game, learned a valuable lesson there though, Um, you

286
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: gotta win the game between your ears first. So DeMarcus ware,

287
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I think this podcast it's sponsored by man Escaped, the

Speaker 1: after career said, what was your favorite play of all

293
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: time in your careers? Favorite player of all time in

294
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: my career would be would probably be the either the

295
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: probably interception against uh Seattle because it was the one

296
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: time that I was able to kind of like a

297
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: moment maybe a Joey had a few times when you

298
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: catch it and get you a catched your pass for

299
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: a night, like you got to be a tight end

300
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: again or whatnot, and feel like you have some kind

301
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: of you can show some of your athletic skills. And

302
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: that's how I felt when I got the interception. I'm

303
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: gonna telling myself. I was like, this is it. I'm

304
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance to show that like I was

305
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: running back in high school like I was, you know,

306
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: and I was like, here in my opportunity. So it

307
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: was probably be in that play, along with a couple

308
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: of other ones, but probably that we shoot um my

309
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: favorite play. I probably wasn't even play that I was

310
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: involved in, but I think one of my most memorable

311
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: plays for me was like when we played in two

312
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve against Atlanta, had that big comeback on

313
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: the road to go to the super Bowl, and that

314
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: that play came down to the final play to let

315
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: us know if we were going to go to the

316
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl or not. And just seeing that play going

317
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: our favorite run on the field, just the emotion of

318
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: that was really cool. Um last year going to the

319
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and that NFC Championship game was fun, but

320
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: it was like we destroyed him. So there wasn't like

321
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: a moment in that game. It was like one play

322
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: for everything. That's a good memory. There's a lot. I mean,

323
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: I love playing football. So there's a lot of cool,

324
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: cool memories. I mean throughout the years just playing the

325
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: game and playing a lot of cool people like Pat

326
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys down the road that you know,

327
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: got to develop cool friendships with and first share some

328
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: special memories with. So those are more than anything. But

329
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: I remember not just like a particular play or something,

330
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: just playing the game that you love since you're you're

331
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: eight years old, doing it for your life. All right.

332
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: Last fan question from high's best teammate. You guys have

333
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: ever heard come offside and you guys cannot say. I

334
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: would assume it's frank mm hmmm. Uh. You know, for me,

335
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: I would probably say, uh, I've had a lot of

336
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: like a lot of them. And to Koe will probably

337
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: be like to Kale's push would probably be right out there.

338
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna I'm gonna say, truly say Alex Smith

339
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: like I know, um, you know, to see what he's

340
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: to see what he's doing now, consider everything he's been

341
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: through before you every even had the major injury that

342
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: he's that he's coming back from. Now, you know, he

343
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: dealt with something that NS and then just the whole

344
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. But then just with that to along along

345
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: with seeing him when I came in as a rookie,

346
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: you know all that he was going through, like because

347
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: I was like, it wasn't the best. I mean we

348
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: had to get guys like Joe and and you know

349
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: kind of trying to build up around but to see

350
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: all that he went through and then just too to

351
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: see it then to be his teammate. Though I didn't

352
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: talk to him, you know every day, it was something

353
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: about how he carried himself, like just his president was

354
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: like he wouldn't didn't walk around angry, new walking around.

355
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: He was too good. He was always just like cool man,

356
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: Like I always admired him, like though I probably you'll

357
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: never have a chance to tell him, but he would

358
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: probably be right up there wrong with you know Joe.

359
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: Um I just got and I pay attention to. Like again,

360
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 1: I'm an energy I was say, I'm an mgry freakency

361
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: vibration type of guy. And so you can take, you know,

362
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: take the color off with the pigment off for a

363
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: night and it's all about you know, the essence that

364
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: you were giving off for a night and Alex, you know,

365
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: it's one of those ones, given all that he went

366
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: through the lows and highs. He was always just I

367
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: mean right there. And I always say, instead of being

368
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: too far to right, too far to land, find a

369
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: nice middle pillar. And I feel like he fitted it

370
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: really really well. So UM, for me, I have so

371
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: many teammates that, like I could say, um, I mean,

372
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys that I really really enjoyed

373
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: our time with. Um. I mean just they're gonna go

374
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: down the whole list of like people that were like, hey,

375
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: we had a great time because he really had a

376
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,239
Speaker 1: great time in locker room and he were funny and

377
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed spending time with him, or like you

378
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: know so and so because you know, you were the

379
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: professional that I really looked too, and the guy that

380
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: was really like a leader for the football team, or

381
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: so and so. Because of all this, So instead of

382
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: naming one person, I would take the easier out and

383
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: say that there are a lot of guys that were

384
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: because I don't want to diminish someone else's impact that

385
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: had that they had in my life by saying this

386
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: my absolute favorite I can like that because super inspirational

387
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: dude and one of my absolute favorite favorite guys, favorite

388
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: human beings favorite teammates I've played with. Um, there's not

389
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: a wrong answer. I just Um, you know, if I

390
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: say Alex, then you know, I could say Daniel Kilgore

391
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: because we had so much fun together. To know, I

392
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: could say, you know, Frank, or I could say Pat

393
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: and I could say you know, I really enjoyed the

394
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: last three years I spent um when I got on

395
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: the list. You know, obviously everybody knows me and Mike

396
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: mcglinchey's relationship was really cool. Um, you know, playing with

397
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: Laken was awesome, mikey Potty was great. Like, there's so

398
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: many guys that I could go down the list. So

399
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: I was really fortunate to play with a lot of

400
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: cool people, make a lot of cool friendships. That's what

401
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: happens when you're on the ten year wall. All right,

402
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: last thing before we go. You brought it up, Pad,

Speaker 1: the field despite that injury. Wow, I didn't I didn't

408
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: know usually any of him I would have I would

00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: have saved. I would have say that and then uh,

410
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean it would just go back to go back

411

Speaker 1: with what I just said. Um, just to see, um,

412

423
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me in the least that he was able

424
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: to overcome this crazy challenge that he had in front

425
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: of him for the last two years and get to

426
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: the position where he's at right now. Um, it's really cool.

427
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: We're playing the four nineers, but it's really cool root

428
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: for a guy like him because of his demeanor of

429
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: the person that he is, how much he's overcome and

430
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 1: UM to see him do well. I mean, he's not

431
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: just out there playing football. Man, He's won games. He's

432
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: just being an undefeated football team. Last week, he's playing

433

00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: family has gone through well. UM, great example for his children.

436
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: UM that you can, you know, overcome anything as hard

437
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: as it might seem in the moment. You know, just

438
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,720
