17
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: I got fat for a little bit when I when

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: I first stopped. But then I realized that you either

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: get fit or you get fat. So and you have

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: certain routines that you become accustomed to, so I don't

21
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: have to eat as much either, So I still do

22
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: a little bit and it keeps the weight off. What's it?

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: You know when you first stopped just I would eat

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: whatever I want. I'm just gonna enjoy what. You know,

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: what took you? It wasn't uh No, I just sat there.

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: I didn't do nothing. I just sat there and I

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: tried not to do anything for as long as possible.

28
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: It just to rest and really see what I wanted

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: to do after I got done. Okay, let me ask

30
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: you both here. Um, when you when you left football,

31
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: how much did you just need to rest your body?

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be straighten up with you. I want to

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: As I was playing, I would always say, man, when

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm probably taking like a year or two off.

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: And then when I was done, after about three months,

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm bored, Like I need something to do.

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm miss like going to the gym, doing all this stuff.

38
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: Like when you're doing this, you're like, man, I don't

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: really feel like living way today, and then when it's gone,

40
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: you're like, I need to find the gym to get into. Man,

Speaker 1: nobody for you to talk to from mine to five

44
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: because they all got regular jobs and it's just you.

45
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: It's it's a because you get you do stuff every

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: day for so long. You just when I got there

47
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: and I sat there and I tried not to do

48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: anything for I think I told you about three I

49
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: think I mean about six months. But after that it

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: was just like I have to do something. It was

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: like either just getting up and putting on certain clothes,

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: getting dressed and going out to It was just I

53
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: had to do something. And for a while it was

54
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: it was fun not doing anything. But then you get,

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,040

76
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: Where were you on Sunday and your thoughts on Kobe Man? So,

77
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: me and me and the wife were actually out. We

78
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: were doing and all the usual Sunday brunch thing, which is,

79
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, we leave church and we go go to

80
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: brunch and we kind of reflect on the week. It's

81
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: usually a happy, fun time. Everybody's kind of out. Because

82
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: Dallas is a big, big, brunt city. We walk into

83
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: this place and there's probably fifty sixty people in there,

84
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: and it's silent. It's a sports bar. All the TVs

85
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: are on. They're not shooting the news yet, but everybody's silence,

86
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: and we're like, man, what's going on? So I get

87
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: a text message in a group chat that I'm in

88
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: and it's one of those Oh man, I know somebody's

89
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: joking because I know Kobe's Kobe's not gone, right. So

90
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: five minutes later, I'm like, all right, let me check

91
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: on the internet. So it's kind of flowing around a

92
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: little bit. TMZ has started to say it. So I'm

93
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: still sitting there kind of like, yeah, right, somebody's going

94
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: to text and say this is a hoax, somebody got hacked,

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: any you know anything. About ten minutes in, everybody's still quiet,

96
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: and all the more news starts coming in that he's gone,

97
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: and we all just kind of just stare at the phone,

98
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: look down. You kind of reflect on how how crazy me,

99
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: how crazy it must have been in that moment for them.

100
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: So it was like really kind of like shocking and sad.

101
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: And we ended our day at that. We went home,

102
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: sat on the couch, kind of was just next to

103
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: each other and reflecting on on our family members and

104
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: friends and how close we should beat to him. Anthony, Yeah,

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: I was actually at home with my family. We usually

106
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: don't do much on Sunday. We just stay home. I

107
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: got the two little ones. I got a five year

108
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: old daughter and a three year old son. So just

109
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: seeing him, my wife came out of the room saying

110
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: that his helicopter went down, he crashed, and I like,

111
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm not into the social media as much of My

112
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: wife gives me a lot of the news, and sometimes

113
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: it's real, sometimes it's fake. So I was just sitting

114
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: there and just like at first, I didn't believe it

115
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: because it's it's Kobe Bryant, Like, how how can this

116
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: helicopter crash? Like how how could? Right? Exactly, like he's

117
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: he's he in our mind, He's he's like that that legend.

118
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: That exactly, it's like he's Superman. He's You've seen him

119
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: grow up from taking on all your sports heroes like

120
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: the Michael Jordan's everybody played against and as a seventeen

121
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: eighteen year old as a kid, like so that's like

122
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: my age in that time. So I'm seeing this and

123
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: he gave us a lot of just motivation, and you

124
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: just don't it was it was you couldn't put any

125
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: worse to it. Just to see people trying to talk

126
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: and explain what he was to them and how it

127
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: was just it was, it was too much. Really. The

128
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: Lakers host the Portland trail Blazers tonight. The Lakers general

129
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: managers Rob Polinka. Rob Polinka was his agent, and Rob

00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: Polinka devastated and he said a piece of his soul

131
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: was gone. He was the god godfather to Gigi, Kobe

132
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: Bryant's thirteen year old daughter who passed away. I went

133
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: out to Los Angeles and just how I heard about it.

134
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: My daughter and I were playing tennis for two hours.

135
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: We were just hitting balls and I put my phone away.

136
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: So we get done and I'm walking out to my car.

137
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: I look at my phone and my phone has just

138
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: got a bunch of stuff on him. Called the station

139
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: trying to get a hold of you. So and so

140
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: I was trying to get a hold of you. So

141
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this and I'm you know, so, okay.

142
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: I call a guy the TV station. He says, UM, yeah,

143
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: we're trying to send you to Los Angeles, but we

144
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: couldn't get a hold of you, so we sent someone else.

145
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: And I said, what are you talking about? He said

146
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: the Kobe News. I said, I don't know what you're

147
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: talking about. I've been on a tennis court for two hours.

148
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 1: I've been disconnected from the world. And he said Kobe

149
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: Bryant died in a helicopter incident. And I just had

150
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,559
Speaker 1: to kind of take a second, because that person knows,

151
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: he knows I knew Kobe Kobe was. I worked in

152
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I was there when Kobe Bryant was drafting,

153
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: and I remember nineteen ninety six that summer where Jerry

154
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: West had worked Kobe out and Michael Cooper was the

155
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: guy they had doing the workout against Kobe. And for

156
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: old school Laker fans, you'll remember Michael Cooper was known

157
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: as the stopper. You know, if you're going to work

158
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: somebody and you want to see what kind of skills

159
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: they have offensively, you know, it didn't matter that Coop

160
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: was an older guy. He could still knew all the tricks,

161
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: and so he puts He put seventeen year old Kobe

162
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: Bryant through the workout. Jerry weston, this is the best

163
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: workout we ever saw, and we we were around Jerry

164
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: West a long time. Is the one thing about Jerry

165
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: West He's honest, brutally honest. So when Jerry says that,

166
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: we're like, wow, okay, maybe the maybe the kids didn't

167
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: play Draft night they've got I want to say it

168
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: was Charlotte had pick thirteen. Charlotte takes Kobe. They're trying

169
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: to get Shaquille O'Neill at the time. They have to

170
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: trade Vlode, so Vlode doesn't want to go. I want

171
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: to go, need to. I like it here. Yeah, yeah,

172
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: we like you too, but we're trying to So they

173
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: had to convince Vlode to go to Charlotte. Kobe and

174
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: his agent aren't tell him, and Arn was in Los Angeles.

175
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: He used to be the general counsel for the La

176
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: Clippers and was very good friends with Jerry West. They

177
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: had basically moved it to the point of Kobe was

178
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: trying to let hybody know he's not working out for you.

179
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: He wants to go to the Lakers. John Calipari and

180
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: his GM John Nashvillood the Nets. They loved Kobe Bryant

181
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: and they John was thinking about it. John wanted to

182
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: do it. John Calipari wanted to do it, but Nash

183
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: was like, uh, we probably should go with the more

184
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: established guys. So they had dow It Draft and carry

185
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Kittles and and you're talking about one of the great

186
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: all time draft classes ever. All right, Ray Allen was

187
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: in that class. Yes, Steve Nash was in that class.

188
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: Um Michael Oli Wilcandy was the number one pick in

189
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: that class. And I covered Ray in high school. So

190
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a great This is one of

191
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: the truly great classes of NBA players that we've ever seen.

192
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: So Kobe ends up coming to Los Angeles and I

193
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: remember his press commerce because at the time I thought

194
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Kobe was a cocky guy. This kid's just really cocky. Man. Really,

195
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm taking my talents to the NBA. You're like, oh boy, this.

196
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: So he had the I started the four This is

197
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: back in the four Days, and I told, I told,

198
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: I told one of our people a Channel thirteen. I said,

199
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: you go, you go as a cocky kid. So she

200
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: comes back and said, now he's a really good kid.

201
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: You really like him. Okay. So I ended up going

202
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: to an event Kobe was doing. Ray Ritter, who was

203
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: now the public relations to a general manager for the

204
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: Golden State Wars, raised out there to talk got to

205
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: actually talk to Kobe. And the thing I noticed, right away.

206
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: He was to me, Michael Jordan head a shade. He's

207
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: talking exactly like Michael Jordan. He's trying to carry himself

208
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: in a very Jordan like fashion. Like okay, I mean,

209
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: not a bad person who would be a romar, So

210
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: you got around him. Derek Harper, the Dallas Maverish broadcaster.

211
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: Derek played for the Lakers at the time, and Derek

212
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: and Kobe had you know, they had become close because

213
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: Derek appreciates hard work, because that's what Derek was about,

214
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: and he just saw it within Kobe early on in

215
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: this guy wanted to really be good. Problem for Kobe

216
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: was some dude named Eddie Jones was the starting two guard.

217
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: It was an all star for the Lakers. Okay, Eddie,

218
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: I cannot stress you any Joe's good, and Joe's good,

219
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: so there was no place for Kobe to play. And

220
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: when he get in the games is rookie. Everybody in

221
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: the forum loved is Kobe is getting up? I mean

222
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: they all loved Kobe Bryant. He'd come in man just

223
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't run offense cool seventeen and so so Van Exel.

224
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: You know, Nick van Exel is a point guy. He

225
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: just looking at it's look at just this dude, man.

226
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: And I was chatting with Nick about two months ago

227
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: at a Laker game because Nick is a scout for

228
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: the Mavericks and that was like he was a wizard's game.

229
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: But we're just joking around about these Laker times and

230
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: just shaking his head. And I remember the air ball

231
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: game in the playoffs against Utah. Kobe puts up three

232
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: straight air balls, and you go back, if you just

233
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: look at the YouTube video, you see Nick. Nick is

234
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: looking for the ball the whole here and it's just

235
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: and and so they lose. And I remembered after that,

236
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: we do the media, you know, we do the media

237
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: press conference, gewords, and I'm asking Kobe, but I'm just

238
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: asking straight by the three airballs, and he's he's as

239
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: cocky as you could be. I think there'd be some

240
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: little humility or something. Not I'll shoot again. Yeah, Okay.

241
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: Rick fots is crime after because Rick is thinking this

242
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: he'll never be a Laker again because the contracts up,

243
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: and he knows Kobe wants to start to think it's

244
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: a spot for him. Poor Del Harris had to deal

245
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: with all of this, and Del Harris's now in the

246
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: management for the Texas Legends here, So there was a

247
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 1: lot of young Kobe that I saw. He was a

248
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: very very confident kid. He wanted to be great. He

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: did everything he could, those practices and trying to get better.

250
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: He was doing all of that. Man, this kid wanted

251
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 1: to really really be Michael Jordan. And that's a and

252
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: that and like throughout all this and listen to everybody talking,

253
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: the common theme it's two things, right, family, guy loves

254
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: his kids, loves being a husband and a father, and

255
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: will outwork anybody. Right, it's just about being the best.

256
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: I heard the Tracian McGrady interview and he's like, I

257
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: know him closer than anyone because I stayed at his

258
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: house back when we were in high school and were

259
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: I would wake up and the VCRs and this guy

260
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: is like pressing re ryding on Michael Jordan's tapes and

261
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: he just watching it all day, watching, just rewatching it.

262
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: And you say he wanted to be like Michael Jordan. Yeah,

263
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: he wanted to beat him. Yeah, you know at that point,

264
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: but he knew the path to do that was one

265
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: to get on the level of being the best, and

266
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 1: that was him. And watch him and study him and

267
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: then when you get your chance to go out there

268
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: and try to do that and be better at it.

269
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: And he lived his life that way throughout everything, and

270
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what made people like grasp

271
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: onto him, that have that that connection with him. When

272
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: when he passed, like everybody saw that in him. I mean,

273
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: he was so into what he was doing. He was

274
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: he cared about it. He put everything that he had

275
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: into it. So it just made it more you connected

276
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: with him because you just saw the the attention to

277
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: detail and the things that he had attention to. He

278
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: paid attention to the grades and he tried to be

279
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: like in the emulator, and then you saw him become

280
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: his own grade. And you know I mean in that way.

281
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: So the switch from eight twenty four like like it's

282
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: it's it's a whole lifetime with things that that we've

283
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: seen Kobe. We watched movies Kobe's and all, like they

284
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: mentioned Kobe and all these movies. We see commercials like

285
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: everything had Kobe. And then we had a discussion I

286
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: think upstairs about like who in the NFL would if

287
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: that like something tragic happened to him, you know whatever,

288
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: Like how who would get this type of his months,

289
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, no one one because basketball is more international

290
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: than than football is. Finger but Kobe was the biggest star.

291
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: You see his face, it's he like, yeah, just have

292
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: that connection with him. It's like, you know him. He's

293
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: what I think of you guys. I mean, he's your

294
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. Yeah. Yeah. For me, a guy who grew

295
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: up on Michael Jordan and everything that Jordan was, if

296
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: this had happened to Jordan at forty one, I would

297
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: be as crushed as the people I saw a Staples

298
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: Center and for me to cover Kobe from the Forum

299
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: two Staples Center two when they won their first championship,

300
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: seeing the true pain of people as they came to

301
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: the memorial, it was. It was tough. In ninety six,

302
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: Keishaw Johnson was the number one pick in the NFL

303
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: Draft and I got to meet meet Keishan, and you

304
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: if you thought Kobe was confiding, Keishan was a little

305
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: more confident. But they became friends, and so I went

306
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: down to Keishan's radio show. He does a warning show

307
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and he spoke about how they were

308
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: both Adidas guys. They both signed with Adidas and they

309
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: were doing an autograph shoot and they've got all this

310
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: stuff that you gotta sign, and Kobe gets done. Rake,

311
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: how do you get done so quick? And he looks

312
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: at Keshan. Oh, here's the problem. You're signing your whole name.

313
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Why are you doing that? So you don't sign your

314
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: whole name? Says, what do people know? You? Asked? Well,

315
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm Keishan Johnson. No, they know he was Keishan.

316
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: So he went Patti him stopped signing Keishan Johnson nineteen,

317
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: Keshon nineteen. So as he showed how he wrote Kobe

318
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: eight and so he said, oh, man, I got through him, done,

319
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: got done real fast. And then he spoke about another

320
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: time when Kobe, maybe it was the second year, Kobe

321
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: comes up to New York with the Lakers and Keishan's

322
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: there and he wants to come meet Keshan out of

323
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: the club and Keshon can't get him in. He said, Man,

324
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: everybody knows you're underage. I can't get you in. He's like,

325
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: come on, he come on. He's like no, and he's, well,

326
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: I want to hang out. Well, I'm at the club,

327
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: he said. He says that, man, I didn't have enough

328
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: juice back then to understand how I could have passed.

329
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: Everybody knew him as that guy. So no New York

330
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: club wanted to violate their their license for alcoholic way

331
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: now because this kid ended up getting in there, because

332
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: he just would have been would have been everywhere. So

333
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: it was a moment. It was It was three hours

334
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: of those types of stories that I got to hear.

335
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: I saw people out and seen in twenty years. I'm

336
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: walking towards the Memorial and somebody calls out my name.

337
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: I turned around and to my friend Eric Aldridge. Eric

338
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: worked with the Lakers and I met him in ninety

339
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: six when I got out there to Los Angeles and

340
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: we had seen each other in twenty years, and I

341
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: just you know, we just hugged each other and just said,

342
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: you know what, man, this is not the way we

343
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: should be meeting. And if it's anything that I took

344
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: from Kobe Bryant's passing, empty my bucket more in life

345
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: pushed the way Kobe pushed, And if you have people

346
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: around you that are close to you, make sure you're

347
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: reaching out to him. I was fortunate of the week

348
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: before I went to my album Mater You and t

349
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: Pembroke and did a talk with Sint Marshall, the Dallas MAVs.

350
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: I got to see a lot of people I hadn't seen.

351
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: I took my thirteen year old daughter to go visit

352
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: with my parents and see seeing my sister. They hadn't

353
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: seen her in a while. And my dad just told

354
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: me how much it, he said, son has affected me.

355
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Said you were just here. You were here with Sissy

356
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: and she's thirteen. He says, if something happened to you,

357
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: he says, I don't know what I would do. And

358
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: I remember when Kobe was dating Vanessa when she was

359
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: in high school. How does that woman get up with

360
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: a seven month old child and then two other children

361
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: and just function. She has to plan a funeral for

362
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: her beloved husband, she has to plan a funeral for

363
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: her daughter. How do you walk into your home and

364
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: your room and not just I don't know how she

365
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: does it. And tonight when they play Portland, it's going

366
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: to be a lot of tears. I was going to

367
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: stay Tuesday for the game. A TV station that sent

368
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: me out there. I was going to stay for the game,

369
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: and then they canceled the game, and I felt a

370
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: little bit of relief because it would have got me

371
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: had I had to been there, because I saw this

372
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: dude on this floor. I saw that, I saw this guy.

373
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: I saw this, and it would have broke me, Yeah, broke.

374
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: I think it's incredible, man, I just really think it

375
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: is really incredible that a person that is so distant

376
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: from us, right that we see on TV. You got

377
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: to interview them. But as far as person a personal life, right,

378
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: we saw it on TV, you hear it on the

379
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: radio or whatever, and it can have that type of

380
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: effect on you from like like I said, we were

381
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: really sad on Sunday, Like people are really sad, people

382
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: who don't know him and I in our generation, I

383
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: had never experienced things like that, right, It's like when

384
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: you see certain people pass and like people are like

385
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: on the streets like crying, Like I had to think

386
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: of one as like Tupac. I remember, like the rappers

387
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: bigging and they die and then you see these long,

388
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: long streets of people like crying. You like you don't

389
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: even know this person, right, and then I never had

390
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: to experience anything like that, like I don't you know,

391
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: and I don't know Kobe, but that I don't know.

392
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: It was something that just had me like, this, man,

393
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: this is this is nuts that this will happen to

394
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: this guy. This was similar to Michael Jordan, I mean

395
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson passing, because when you're talking about Los Angeles

396
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: where Michael lived and people knew Michael, and this was

397
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: this was bigger than that. I talked with the Jay

398
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: Gray of NBA see NBC News, and he was there.

399
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean there was I can't tell you how. It

400
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: had to be at least forteen different television cameras that

401
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: were set up across the world. Okay, I'm sitting there.

402
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: Somebody was from Brazil. Two slides down from there was

403
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: someone from Germany, and just the emotion and every day

404
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: it built more and more. The one thing that I

405
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: saw that really disturbed news people were selling Kobe Bryant teachers. Yeah,

406
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: I see you. You commented on that. To sell t

407
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: shirts off someone's death, it just left me. Well, while

408
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: we're on that about the disturbing part, I wanted to

409
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: get into kind of the reporting on the issue. Right, Um,

410
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: let's take let's take a break here. When we come back,

411
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: I know exactly where you want to go with this.

412
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: And one of the people involved who I absolutely love

413
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: was affected by people trying to be first in, people

414

Speaker 1: five time world champion, and Dany, you bring up something

460
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: which has touched the nerve of a lot of people.

461
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 1: And there are times where I say, this is why

462
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: people hate the media and the way this was covered.

463
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: I'll let you pick it up from there. Yeah, like

464
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: I said, so those messages are coming through on my

465
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: phone when we first find out, and for the next

466
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: hour it's like this this confusion and this this this

467
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: wild which hunt of trying to figure out who was

468
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: all involved and all this stuff. And it was so

469
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: many different stories coming out about you know, how many

470
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: people on there, how many how many of his daughters

471
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: were there, was his wife? Like, it was so much

472
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: different stuff going out and people were these are like

473
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be reliable sources and stations, and they were

474
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: like putting this stuff out and I and I'm thinking,

475
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: and we talked about it in the break. I said,

476
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, the shock of hearing that certain people die,

477
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: like family members. Off. You're a grandparent, right, and you

478
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: you figure out that your son or your kid died

479
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: and all your grandkids died, and you read this and

480
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: you and you believe it, and it sends you into

481
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: this state of shock and all of a sudden you

482
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: have a health issue, right, or something happens to you.

483
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: This is a cause and default of the people who

484
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: reported this incorrectly, right, and this and these things can

485
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: happen like this. Because it didn't doesn't mean they won't,

486
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: but that that's extreme, but that can really happen. I

487
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: think it's just very irresponsible for some of these people

488
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: to be putting this stuff out on you know, at

489
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: the expensive trying to be first and trying to trying

490
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: to get there and be the first person and you know,

491
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: get to get the most views and all that stuff.

492
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's just irresponsible. I really believe something myself.

493
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: But we live in the world now where we live

494
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: in the world now where news is just it's it's rapid,

495
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: like everyone wants to have it now, get it now.

496
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's just constant. It's it's how how

497
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: we think, you know. I mean, so people look at

498
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: news how they they're mind moves, so they're moving through

499
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: the things, and so people want to have be important.

500
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: So they want to have like I did it. Yeah,

501
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: I did it. I reported this like this is what

502
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: I put out first. But when it's wrong, it should

503
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: they be held accino boat for the information that they

504
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: put out because they're getting likes or from it, you

505
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, So it should the dislikes or

506
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: the should there be any repercussion from it? Okay, glad

507
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: you went there. So there was a reporter on ABC News,

508
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: he's on television and says Kobe and his daughters all perished.

509
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: It was erroneous, it was wrong, and ABC News suspended him,

510
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: which you should have. I get when people tell you

511
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: they don't like the median, you can't be wrong like this.

512
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: You have a responsibility. You stand there with this microphone,

513
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: you have this, this, this, this, tell this this phone,

514
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: and you're sending out you have a responsibility to be

515
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: right Rick Fox. I love Rick Fox. Got to know

516
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: Rick out in LA and I'm a big North Carolina fan,

517
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: so through the years, Rick and I would talk Carolina

518
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: basketball all the time. So when I'm talking about going

519
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: out to Los Angeles, there was somebody who was telling

520
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: me I heard Rick Fox was on the plane, and

521
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: I said, no, not Rick. And the thing about it

522
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: that hurt when I because I could believe Rick would

523
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: be on on our plane, but a helicopter with Kobe

524
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: because they were friends. And so I immediately rushed to

525
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: my phone. I check it, and then two people confirmed

526
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: one I said it. We spoke to Rick Fox's daughter

527
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: says Rick is alive, and so another thing that said,

528
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: you know, Rick's fine. I instantly shout him a message, said, man,

529
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're alive. And then to watch the T

530
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: and T special on Monday, which is so excellently done.

531
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: Kenny Smith talked about how I called you Rick, I called,

532
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: and and then when he when he heard, he was okay.

533
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: You see Kenny right there breaks down crying. Rick is

534
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: in tears talking about just the people who thought he

535
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: passed away. And Rick was not happy, nor should he

536
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: be I had someone put out a rumor I died.

537
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: So my dad is a school teacher and another teacher

538
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: comes up to him. He's got tears and says, I'm

539
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: sorry about your son. You're talking about her. He got

540
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: killed on ninety five. So this was before cell phone

541
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: and my dad is trying to get over. My parents

542
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: are trying to call me, checking my son. Will you

543
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: call call me? I call home, and this idiot who

544
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: I went to school with, it put this thing out

545
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: there that he heard somehow that I died and what

546
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: that put my parents through before we had cell phones,

547
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: just trying to reach me. And this is what people

548
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: have to realize about what they the responsibility you have.

549
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: We saw Mike Leslie chan Lay tweet out that the

550
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: whole Cowboys coaching stad, the entire staff, was fired. Players

551
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: read that. Players read that in the locker room. He

552
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: wasn't even here, and he tweeted out out there, now

553
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: look and it was rushed to be first, and of

554
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: course it wasn't true. But don't go on it. Players

555
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: are reading it, families are reading it. They all know,

556
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: especially at the end of the year, that things were

557
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: getting ready to go some way or another, and just

558
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: put that stuff out there, and then of course he

559
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: tweeted it out from channel and then you had I

560
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: was Yahoo's sports and bleach for other people picked up

561
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: on this thing. The next thing you notice, thing caught

562
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: fire right and it was wrong. And that's you know,

563
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: you have to say to yourself, at least in my mind,

564
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: of how you do this business. One thing that I

565
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: always say, you have to ask yourself, how do I

566
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: want to do this business. There ain't no prize or

567
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: trophy for having been first. It's just not okay. Where

568
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: I work at news station, they don't give me a hey,

569
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: here's a bonus. Because you were you would get nothing.

570
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: You have a responsibility and you have to ask yourself,

571
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: how do you want to do this. There was a

572
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: particular player, and I won't name the player. His first

573
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: game for the Cowboys. His father had mentioned I don't

574
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: say specifically as I want to give away the player

575
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: or the father, but he mentioned something within the game that, boy,

576
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: I thought this would be a whole lot better, because

577
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 1: I've been hearing about that. If I went with that comment,

578
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: i'd the player would have been buried by his teammates. Okay,

579
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: I could have just buried the player, but I didn't

580
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: do it. I said, you know, this player is gonna

581
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: be here for a minute. The player's dad doesn't really

582
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: know what he's saying. It doesn't really like, dude, your

583
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: own I got you on the record here. I mean,

584
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: this is not just me recording. I got a camera.

585
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: If he says this, I could have blew this thing up.

586
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: But I didn't because I said to me, how do

587
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: I want to do this business? Because he said it,

588
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: and I go, father, it was very critical the cowboys,

589
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to do that. I just felt

590
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: like this wasn't the bridge to burn. He didn't really

591
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: understand what he was saying. And I'll have a conversation

592
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: with him later on Great job not being that guy

593
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: knew please, Great job because because that could turn the

594
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: opinion around if you as a person in ways that

595
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: you don't even realize, right, if you if you are also,

596
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, known as that guy amongst

597
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: everybody that's around you trying to do your job. Yeah,

598
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: and there's some guys who don't cass it. Once again,

599
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: it's how do you want to do the business. It's

600
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: much less. It's no different than when you guys meet

601
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: with the media, you have an opportunity to ask you,

602
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: how do I want to deal with these folks? You

603
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: know I could be defensive, I can engage. I cannot

604
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: even you have you have a decision as a player,

605
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: how do you want to deal with this? And I

606
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: underto me, haven't been here covering I've I've covered teams

607
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: with Jimmy you know when Jimmy Johnson coach. But I've

608
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: covered this in this market. This is the beat. If

609
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: you want to burn up some bridges, you better be

610
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: real careful, man, because you can get to the point.

611

Speaker 1: And you guys know exactly what I'm talking about. Where

00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: will you burn one guy? That guy can tell other

613
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: watch out for that dude. And next thing you know,

614
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: you're iced out. We've seen it. Yeah, they ice you

615
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: out and you're just sitting there and and I'm not

616
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: like a beat writer. Beat writer doesn't have to have

617
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: a camera. I got to come up to you with

618
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: my my microphone and my camera like we gonna right

619
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: or I've seen it where people will just end it,

620
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: Oh okay, here you go. They just they in that sucker.

621
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm good and and you you just have to decide

622
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: how do you want to do it? And look, you're not.

623
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: Everybody's not gonna be your friend. But I just felt

624
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: with a young family and a young player, that I

625
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: needed to give them a little bit of grace. Did

626
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: just say, Okay, I'm gonna let you slide just because

627
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: you don't know that. But this is everybody has a

628
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: way they want to do do this business. But you

629
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: still me, Papa, those because no, no, no, no, I

630
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,120

Speaker 1: to and I want to do it soon so you

00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: can never have to talk about it. Okay you can.

633
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: Joe Joe Brow December bro I February. It's tomorrow. I

634
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: want to close one reason because he said he don't

00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: like the food, and I want to show him the

636
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: stuff to order them to me. You that I think

637
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: is good because I'm a fan of Papa. Those Okay,

638
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: things that I like. Okay, okay, okay, all right, let's

639
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: let's move here into Super Bowl fifty four, which is Sunday,

640
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City, San Francisco down there in Miami. The betting

641
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: line has Kansas City favored by one point in some

642
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: one and a half. I want to see the Chiefs win.

643
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: I do me too. I like Mahomes. You got former

644
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys like Mo Clayborn, Anthony Hitchins Wilson. I'd like to

645
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: see them get a ring. I like the honey Badger

646
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: we got. We got guys over there, they've got they've

647
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: got you know, they've got a good story. They started

648
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: here as the Dallas Texans. The name super Bowl came

649
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: from their original owner and founder of Lamar Hunt. It

650
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: would be a great story. But I took San Francisco.

651
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: But you knew it was coming up, and I took

652
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco because of the defense. That forty eight sacks

653
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: this year, and you all know that's a lot of sacks. Okay,

654
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: that's getting after some people. Caroline had a fifteen and

655
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: one team four years ago, went into Super Bowl Denver

656
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: forty eight sacks. They their tackles could not control where

657
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: your former teammate and Von Miller from DeSoto, they just

658
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. Another team with forty eight sacks, the

659
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: eighty five Bears, the seventy seven Cowboys, super Bowl twelve.

660
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: They had MVPs, the Super Bowl MVP, two co nps

661
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: at one time we've ever seen it. Randy White, Harvey,

662
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: Mark forty eight SAC team, the Giants teams that ended

663
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 1: up beating Tom Brady. Both of them had forty eight sacks,

664
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: that ability to get after the pastor to make life rough.

665
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: And then on the other side, San Francisco second in

666
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: the NFL and rushing. If you're going to beat the

667
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: Chiefs and you look at how they have been beaten

668
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: this year, you have to limit their time of possession.

669
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: You got to put them in twenty two minutes and under,

670
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: and you got to be able to run the football.

671
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: Those teams were able to do it. The Chiefs play Tennessee. Correct, Yes,

672
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: Derek Hearry went in an eighty yard guy. It was

673
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row, last few weeks of the

674
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: season to dude just went went crazy. How many yards

675
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: are you having against Kansas City? And you are correct.

676
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: I think they can play. Shannon Hand has a more

677
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: versatile offense than what Arthur Smith and Tennessee rolled out there,

678
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: and they've got a whole lot of different waves of backs.

679
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: I just like what San Francisco is able to do

680
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: from a defensive standpoint, and obviously they've got a better

681
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: defensive what Tennessee did, and they got a better running game.

682
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: And I just think you limit limit the time of

683
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: possession from my homes, put your defense out there, and

684
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: I just like that. That's why I went with twenty

685
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: twenty two. I see big games and this is this

686
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: is no LSU bias. I see big games out of

687
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew. I see a big game out of my homes.

688
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: Of course, I think that he's gonna make some things

689
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: happen to get on the run, and Tyreek Hill is

690
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna be I won't call him an ex factor because

691
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: he's the guy, but I think they're gonna find some

692
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: some very creative ways to get him the ball. And

693
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna rehab it. So he got Kancity winning,

694
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: I got Kansas City winning. I want them to win,

695
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: and I believe that they can get it done. Okay, sweet,

696
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: I like Kansas City as well, because you run the

697
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: ball and play defense, you could win the championship, right,

698
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: But if they end up scoring fourteen points early in

699
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: the game, they Kennessee offense is they're too fast. I

700
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: feel like I just feel like their speed and what

701
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: they brain across the board that they can't they just

702
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: can be contained, but they can't be stopped. I feel

703
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: like kind of how Kobe was like, you just gotta

704
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: try to slow them down. The gotta limit the possessions,

705
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: limit the possessions. But if they don't, you know, I mean,

706
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a hard, hard day. I'm gonna take

707
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: some one thing they pulled on the last team, they

708
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: played with Jimmy through the bar eleven times. Not happening.

709
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: Now they're gonna not gonna make them. Jimmy is going

710
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: to have to do Yeah, And that's where you have

711
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: to put it in your mind. Do you trust Jimmy

712
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: g through the bar letm times? They're saying you couldn't

713
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: stop the front. But nineteen seventies offense, it's very nineteen

714
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: seventies offense. Okay, we gotta take a break here. Jalen

00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: surprising to see, Yeah, because I don't think we've ever

864
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: I think. That's where it's going. But that would not

865
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: be surprised. So here is an order, Dame guy where

866
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: promoting trot stuff. So hey, man, look the rivals make

867
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: you listen. I would say this, make your money, man,

868
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: make your money. That's why that's what I see out

869
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: of him. Mostly it's just the entrepreneur, like he's not

870
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 1: afraid to try new things and people get he gonna

871
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: get some slack that though. Oh yeah, that locker room

872
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be a fun place for posing the other

873
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: posing teams man he goes when he when he gets

874
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: Giant stadium at Life Stadium, he's gonna hear about it.

875
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: And Phillis character though you give condoms are all of

876
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: the people that's not married in locker room, they'll start

877
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: no trouble and the other talking about Christmas Prinds. I

878
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: got now to get into everybody got a perfect transition,

879
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: perfect transition from Trojan Condoms to Philip Rivers. Yes the truth.

880
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: He's not watching that commercial. So Philip Rivers has moved

881
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: the entire family out of San Diego. They are now

882
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,439
Speaker 1: going to Florida. He's done with the Chargers. He's done.

883
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 1: They also done with him, and as getting ready to say,

884
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn is not crying at all, the head coach

885
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: of the Chargers. I heard people talking about Philip Rivers

886
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: getting a two year deal, possibly playing for a team

887
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: like the Colts. I think Philip Rivers is done. What

888
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: do you guys seeing? I mean, it's hard for me

889
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,919
Speaker 1: to say that he is done because he still wants

890
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: to do it. Like whenever you have that passion to

891
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: go want to go out there and compete, and he's

892
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: been competing at a high level for a long time.

893
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: So I can't say that he couldn't go out there

894
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: and help a team do something, because I'm sure that

895
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: he can. Because there's a lot of teams in the

896
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: NFL that need quarterbacks, are looking for a quarterback and

897
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to be a quarterback in the NFL and

898
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: perform at that level that he had for as long

899
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: as he did. So he has that experience, so I

900
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: can't it's hard for me to say that he's done. Okay, yeah,

901
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: I think somebody to give him a shot, But we

902
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,879
Speaker 1: talked about it last week. If I had him, I'm

903
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: going Teddy. I'm going Teddy. I'm going to Bridgewater, you know,

904
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: signing signing Philip Rivers to a two year due. Who

905
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: where's team they got? They going to Chicago? Like where's

906
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: is he going? Is he going to the Coats? Is

907
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: it going to my head? Like? Where's he going? On?

908
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: Two years? I'm with you, give me Teddy, I'll take Teddy.

909
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: I'll take Teddy right now. Yeah, I'll take I'll take

910
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 1: Teddy to be a start. No, I'm saying Philip, He's

911
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: not gonna be backup. He's not gonna be back up

912
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: no place ever he goes he wants to start. Tom

913
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: Brady puts out a photo show us him seemingly as though,

914
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: tweets a photo like he's walking away. I just think

915
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 1: he's trolling everyone. And I think he's also making sure

916
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: New England if I come back, there didn't no discount.

917
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean he's letting that there's no more discounts. I'll play,

918
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: but I want I want two years. I want to

919
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: I want to get paid. I still think he should

920
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: have not. I think this is the total opposite of

921
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. I think if you surround Tom Brady, because

922
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: we all watched this season and we all felt like

923
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: it was a lack of receiver and receivers and playmakers

924
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 1: on that team. You surround him with the right guys

925
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: and you have that defense that you had, uh in

926
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, I think you're back in the super Bowl.

927
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: It's not like they didn't make the playoffs, right, because

928
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: when when the Patriots don't win the Super Bowl, that's

929
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: when you're like, they win so much, you all of

930
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: a sudden think they failed. I expected him to kind

931
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 1: of do the same thing again, even with the team

932
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: that he had. So I mean, you can't can't ever

933
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: put anything past him because he's like, he's done better

934
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: with a lot worse, you know what I mean. So

935
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to say that he's done. Give him a

936
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: tight end, give a receiver they can they can run

937
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: the ball decent enough and then play that they'll be fine.

938
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: Like you think about who they lost, you know, they

939
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: expected to have Josh Gordon Grunt retires. Defense is everything,

940
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: but they have nobody to throw the balls to. They

941
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 1: drafted out in the first round. He does okay this year,

942
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: he didn't okay this year, But they didn't have the

943
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: they didn't have the guy starting center, start Foster fullback

944
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: when you thought you were going to really have a

945
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: run heavy element, and Edelman is still there and he

946
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: still he still produced, but it was it was literally

947
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: just him on offense. I got frustrated listening to people

948
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: try and say what Tom Brady's done and look at

949
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: the regression, and I go back to something I always

950
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: used to say on my NBC Sports radio show, is

951
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: it the carpenter or is it the carpenter's tools? There's

952
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: the tools. It's to night exactly said. If you're watching,

953
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: you see the tools around the carpenter aren't good because

954
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: we've seen what he can do when you give him

955
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: even just some adequate tools. When they played the Cowboys,

956
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: you were literally looking out there some of the receding

957
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: weapons in who is this guy? They won the game,

958
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: but you knew he didn't have enough tools to compete

959
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: for a World champions But how many places? Because like

960
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: usually even for coaches and players, specifically quarterbacks, you say,

961
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: you win the Super Bowl, that buys you x amount

962
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: of years like to move forward, right, If a coach

963
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: wins a Super Bowl, you say he gets at least

964
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: three more years because he just got off the Super Bowl.

965
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: The Patriots won the Super Bowl last year. They're the outlier,

966
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: and we said, right, and then you know, now it's

967
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: like they've done they need to do xy like this

968
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: is the same it's the same guy, but overall and

969
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 1: it's just something that Tom Curran works for MBC Sports Boston,

970
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: spose that this is an older there was an older

971
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: football team and they were really at that crossroads even

972
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: last season. Do we decide to start tearing this thing down?

973
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: And I think they tried to do a little bit

974
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: of both. But it's an older football team, so they've

975
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: got decisions that they have to make. At one point,

976
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: they will have to make those decisions because he's not

977
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna play forever. You can draft, yeah, you can draft

978
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 1: a tour or somebody to you know, sit behind Tom

979
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: Brady for a little bit. But done and TV twelve

980
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: to do this one year moved from a super Bowl. Yeah,

981
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: how mean he's at five and the discount the discount six.

982
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: But the discount is a really big deal. I'm hearing

983
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: it so much that you know, this not just the

984
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 1: media making up. He and his agent Don Year letting

985
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: people know we've given out too many discounts. He's now

986
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: looked at what other people are getting paid. He's looking

987
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: at how much more your franchise he's been worth since

988
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: he got here. Guy wants his pay and I don't

989
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: blame him, but it's very interesting now to see how

990
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: people will attack it because you're a lot of folks said, well,

991
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: Dak Prescot should take less money, should think about the team.

992
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 1: Here's Tom and my thing always it was Tom Brady,

993
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: why are you saving them money? That's not your job

994
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: to say, Bob Craft any money here? I mean Aaron

995
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 1: Rodgers didn't save anybody any money. Pay Manning always paid.

996
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: So he also had the luxury of having a significant

997
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: other exactly, it was super dupe pared that and that

998
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: allows you to take some of that and be that

999
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: type of team player. A lot of those other guys

1000
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: they don't have that. So I need money. If he

1001
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: wasn't taking those pay cuts, would he have the championships

1002
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: that he asked? Wedn't have had the people that he

1003
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 1: had around them to do that. Great point, because here's

1004
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: the thing. They were never a team that spent all

1005
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: the way to the cap. You know they Chandler Jones

1006
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: by Richard seymour By, I mean it wasn't. I always said,

1007
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: it's not like right, hey, Tom, give me that five

1008
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 1: because we're gonna get Richard this five, seamore this five

1009
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: to keep it. They were saying, no, see you. So

1010
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: that was my thing all the time, was wait a minute, man,

1011
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 1: you're saving them money, but where are they spending it? Right?

1012
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's my For instance, when you were

1013
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: trying to when Dan Gilbert was trying to get Lebron,

1014
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, hey, all right, we give pain here and

1015
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: we moved. You saw where they were trying to, Hey,

1016
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: we're trying to get souls o to coming here on

1017
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: they were, they were bleeding it. If you saw they

1018
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: had a high set that all right, calfs are in

1019
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: the luxury tax. He never saw the Patris there. Patres

1020
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: always had money. So that was my thing. But Tom

1021
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: through the years is waiting a minute. Man. You're giving

1022
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: Craft and Belichick a discount, but they're not spending it.

1023
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,959
Speaker 1: They're still right there, you know, low on the cap,

1024
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: and just you know, they always had some money to spend.

1025
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: And the profits they're making up there. I mean, I've

1026
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: gone knew we were there this year, knew the way

1027
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: they built that one Patriot Place around there and all

1028
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: this it's been four years since we've been there. We

1029
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: came back. I couldn't believe how much more stuff they've

1030
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: built around this place. And that's because of Tom. There's

1031
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. This stuff and the money that

1032
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 1: the Crafts have made and Belichick has made is because

1033
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady. So good for him realizing late in

1034
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: his career. Hey, I need to get paid top dollar,

1035
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: and I hope Tom gets it because he deserves it. Yeah,

1036
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 1: get a man, we got some quarterbacks. We need to

1037
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 1: get paid a right TV twelve man because he's still

1038
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: waiting on deck to get paid, but he's confident that

1039
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: someone's gonna have all that. Good. Good for Dak. I'm

1040
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: hopeful too. They need they need to pay him so

1041
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: he can get in here and learn this offense. And

1042
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: McCarthy wants to install up. Yes, I hope. So. Now,

1043
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 1: you and I were talked last week about going to

1044
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: the Rodeo fort Ward Stock Show Rodeo I actually did it.

1045
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: And then Spence, I've never worn a pair of cowboy boots,

1046
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,439
Speaker 1: never worn a pair of boots at all. I don't

1047
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 1: think I have. So they loaded me up in some boots.

1048
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: They loaded me up with a cowboy had they measured

1049
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: me for cowboys of letties. Okay, and there it is.

1050
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: I took my daughter with me and that's me the

1051
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: word stock show rodeo. I got the scarf I got.

1052
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: Now the jeans they made the jeans custom. They looked

1053
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: like mom jeans. Okay, the jeans are not good. I

1054
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: didn't show the boots there, but the boots or I have.

1055
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: I'm afraid to drive with the boots. Why I'm afraid, right,

1056
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm afraid. I'm not there yet. So what I've done?

1057
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: So I put on the left mood I put on.

1058
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: I put on a sneaker and drove that. When I

1059
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: got out, I put on the boots and walk. You

1060
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: get pulled over, they may take you to jail. Man.

1061
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: It's not about the car, sir. This is the first. Okay,

1062
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: Friday was the first. The first Fridays when I got

1063
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: him was the first day I had him on. I

1064
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: was not ready to go drive in a pair of boots.

1065
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: I was. I'm not ready, so it was difficult about it.

1066
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: I haven't worn boots either. Yeah, I just I'm just

1067
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: not used to it yet. So before I drive in them,

1068
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: I will drive right around then the parking lot. Then

1069
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: my grocers should get used to it. So anyway, I'm

1070
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: just man, hey, hey, I read somebody I was wearing

1071
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,240
Speaker 1: cowboy boots and I wasn't exactly sure how much pressure

1072
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: to put on it, and I went too far. So

1073
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: I would say this because you you know, since we've

1074
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: been doing this, you've been known as being the VIP guy. Right,

1075
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: you had all the VP stuff on that picture. There

1076
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: was nobody in there, so I'm assuming you either got

1077
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 1: in really early or they let you stay really late.

1078
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: So they wanted us to come down and they saw

1079
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 1: me do a live shot. I went to Tony Stewart

1080
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: smoke show, so I was in full had the NASCAR

1081
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,879
Speaker 1: fire suit, had the helmet, did everything. So they saw

1082
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: me do my sports cast in that they like, hey,

1083
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: what you would you dress up as a cowboy and

1084
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: It's like sure. So the rodeo ended and and everyone

1085
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: hit left and it was the Pro the Bull Tournament,

1086
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl Tournament, which by the way, it's pretty

1087
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: cool if you go check it out, and still going on,

1088
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 1: I believe through the eighth over the fort Worth Stock

1089
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: Show rodeo for so everyone was gone and we stayed

1090
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 1: and that was the live shot at ten o'clock, so

1091
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: they think it ended it about nine twenty, so she

1092
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: was ready to go. No, she had a great time. Yeah,

1093
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: she watched everything. I've taken her baseball, basketball games, so

1094
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: she's gotten bored. She did not get bored. Eight year

1095
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: old loved it. Thought it was the greatest thing. They

1096
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: the humidifiers that they put into Dickie's arena. You don't

1097
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: smell anything at all, nothing, man um it was fantastic.

1098
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: So we saw the we saw him racing the barrel race,

1099
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: and we saw him roping cows, we saw him ride

1100
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: the bulls. I mean, they did a bunch of activities. Man,

1101
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: it was great. I mean it really, I mean it

1102
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: really was fun. So and I've taken my family out

1103
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: there to the rodeo before, but it's it's just a

1104
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 1: fun experience and if you live here, it's one of

1105
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: the things you just do. And just then they've got

1106
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: the little midway out there, so it's kind of like

1107
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: a little bit mimicking the fair when you go to

1108
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: downtown down so they've got all the carnival rides all

1109
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: and some of my kids eyes were all lit up

1110
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: because she's I said, yeah, we can't go, we're late.

1111
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: That's got the lives, so we got to go. So

1112
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: I talked to her of that, and then afterwards we

1113
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: ended up going to waffle House and I told she

1114
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: could stay up late, so we ended up eating the

1115
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 1: waffle house at eleven o'clock at night. So she just

1116
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: thought it was the coolest thing. That's why the Kobe

1117
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: thing really hit me hard, because that's Friday when we

1118
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,919
Speaker 1: did that, and then Saturday, we're playing tennis together because

1119
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:35,959
Speaker 1: she shegarded getting into tennis and wanted to hit balls.

1120
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: And then I see that happen on Sunday, and a

1121
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: part of me was just saying, Okay, I'm trying to

1122
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: do it right the way Kobe did, where you spend

1123
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: some time with your kids and try to make sure

1124
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: you're in their lives. And so that's why I looked

1125
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: at that picture and I just kind of haven't even

1126
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: cherished it a little bit more, considering that I don't

1127
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,439
Speaker 1: know if I'm gonna be going tomorrow, so I better

1128
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: try and empty my bucket, and they their kids are

1129
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna remember the experiences positive, positive things you can take

1130
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: from that man, you know, everybody learns something from it. Tragedy.

1131
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: But you know, if you silver lining and positive thing,

1132
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: hopefully everybody is in that mode now. It's but the

1133
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: difficult thing about it is next month and a month after, right,

1134
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: don't forget about that. Just keep it going, you know,

1135
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: and making a part of your life. If you saw

1136
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: the T and T and if you haven't seen it

1137
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: at all, um Seaquille's crying, and I haven't been good

1138
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: about keeping up with you guys and telling you guys,

1139
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 1: I love you. And and Shaquille O'Neill is as another

1140
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: friend of mine, and he's good of guys. He gets

1141
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: but even he could sit there and tell you, you

1142
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: know what, I didn't handle this. I haven't handled things

1143
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: the way I needed to be to be better. And

1144
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 1: so if Kobe, Bryant and Gigi and the other members

1145
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: are on that helicopter, but those nine lives lost. If

1146
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: that helps other people say I love you more, or

1147
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: let me make sure I'm in connection more with you,

1148
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: maybe you spend one more phone call, you make sure

1149
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: you visit one time on side. If it makes us

1150
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: all do that, then that's pretty cool in the world.

1151
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: James Worthy said, said this and Keishana repeated on his

1152
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: morning show, James Worthy said, do not have a question

1153
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: mark where God left a period and that was his

1154
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: way of dealing with what happened. And we move forward.

1155
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: And for Vanessa and their family, I pray for them tonight.

1156
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: I will watch the game to see how the Laker

1157
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: players and Rob Plink of their general manager, how they

1158
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: handled things against Portland and Kobe Bryant will be remembered

1159
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: this year. When you think about January, we have lost

1160
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: David Stern, the commissioner of the NBA this month along

1161
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: with Kobe Bryant. You talk about two Titans to people

1162
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: who really have helped this league become the international product.

1163
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: It is so we've lost them both, but but there

1164
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: are lessons there that we take forward. And this is

1165
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: um for me. This is why I took from it.
