When you came here, what 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.120 did you know about the DNV and this team? Did 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:32.600 you know much about it when you got drafted. 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:34.679 I hated them. I knew that. 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:41.520 You know, I'm from Sacramento, man, so I was liking everything. 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.040 La, La Rams, LA Dodgers, LA Lakers. 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.520 So when I came here, I had to learn to 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:52.160 like John Riggins and Joke Eisman. It didn't take but 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.680 a second as soon as I landed and it got 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.360 to know the guys and was in the locker room 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.719 with Art Monk, and you know, just it was. 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:02.880 It was neat to. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.800 Finally have my own likes because you know, as a 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.720 kid growing up, you like everything your parents liked or 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.520 your dad liked. So my dad was a big Laker, 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.120 an LA fan, so I was a big LA fan. 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:20.079 You know, I like everybody on the In. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.600 Fact, it was kind of funny because I got my 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:28.840 first NFL safety against the quarterback and I'm trying to 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.600 I'm drawing a blank on his name, the quarterback for 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.600 the Rams, and I did it against Jackie Slater, an 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:40.400 All Pro twenty year NFL veteran, I made an inside 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.280 move on him and got a sack on Vince Ferragamo. 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:50.120 Vince Ferragamo was the quarterback, and that was that was 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.959 pretty cool. So I quickly became a Redskin fan. And 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.400 you'll hear, you know, there's probably a couple of tapes 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.120 out there with me saying, when you sign on to 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.800 be a Redskin, that's who I was at the time. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.080 You sign on to be a Redskin, you sign on 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:10.040 to hate Dallas. And of course I immediately hate hated Dallas. 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:11.839 So I got to ask that you brought it up, 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.680 NFC East Riblesman, who do you hate more?
