1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up,

3
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: Drek Firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire or Thursday,

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: November thirtieth, final day of the month. The calendar turns

5
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: to December tomorrow, and we close out November with what

6
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: I think I think is going to be a really

7
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: good Thursday night football game. I'm the only one, but

8
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: hopefully I'm right. I'm not Detroit. The Dallas Cowboys hosting

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: Seattle and to celebrate the matchup, we got a great

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: guest today who played on the Seattle Seahawks. His name

11
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: is Golden Date. He came into the Herd I don't know,

12
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: a couple months ago and he was pretty good. And

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: then we're like, we gotta get him on the podcast

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: and talked to him a lot about his time in Seattle,

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: his time in Detroit. He gushes over Matt Stafford, said

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: he's the best quarterback by far, that he's ever played with.

17
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: Remember this guy played with a guy named Russell Wilson

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: in Seattle. I'll just leave that at that. He talked

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: about Matt Patricia being a jerk of a coach in Detroit.

20
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: Not a good look for Patricia. I mean, dude, taking

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: away the ping pong table? Really no music? Come on,

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: Matt Patricia, my guy, the Rocket Scientist. Anyways, and there's

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: also a Taylor Swift reference when Golden Tate shot his

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: shot with Taylor Swift on the Notre Dame sideline back

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: in the day. Anyways, Before that, I want to quickly,

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: just quickly remind people, I know you're upset with me

27
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: for my FSU take online on the Herd. I'm going

28
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: to address it on tomorrow's podcast. We're going to have

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: a guest, a college football guy. He came on earlier

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: this season. He's as good as it gets in college football,

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: so we'll have him on. I'll talk, I'll explain my reasoning.

32
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: I know the FSU fans are out for blood. A

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: buddy of mine who I went to high school with,

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: his kids have gone to FSU. I wonder if he

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: unfollowed him and his wife. Yeah, people are just upset,

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: But the reality is FSU without Jordan Travis is not

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: the FSU that ran the table in the conference. They're not.

38
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: It's just that's a fact. We shall see. I've already

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: bet Louisville money line. I'm rooting Louisville trying to get

40
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: my hands on an Elvis Dumerville, Jersey. I don't think

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: FSU without their quarterbacks should be in the playoff.

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: Now.

43
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: If they go ahead and get you know, a forty

44
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: to nothing win or you know, forty to ten or

45
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: fifty to ten, a trouncing of Louisville, which is possible,

46
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: then yeah, okay, fine, you guys have proved it, but

47
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: you got to prove it right now. They've got prove

48
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: it all written all over. So well, we'll talk more

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: about that tomorrow. Let me quickly get a best bet off.

50
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: By the way, if you're not following me on Instagram

51
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: on Tuesday three and one on college hoops. On Wednesday

52
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: three and oho on college hoops, I had a buddy

53
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: Michigan grad actually plays on my reck. I can't call

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: it a rec league hoops team anymore. We've got a

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: men's hoop dynasty in the South Bay. That's what we're

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: gonna call it. Anyways, he said he's he wanted to

57
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: take UNC, wasn't sure, then saw me post about it

58
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: that I took UNC minus two. UNC was up by

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: like twenty something in the first half. Tennessee did what

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: they did. They came back some guy like thirty seven. Anyways,

61
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: he won big. So running hot on college basketball now

62
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: you I even talk to my buddy about this. Anytime

63
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: I'm running hot, I decide, oh, you know what I'm

64
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna double down. I'm gonna go big. And

65
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: it always every single time I get destroyed, it just happens.

66
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: I don't know why it is. So I'm just stuck

67
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: in this purgatory of not doing as much as I

68
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: betting on NFL game. So six on one streak is

69
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: tiny sample size.

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: We'll see.

71
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep it running hot anyways for best bet.

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: I will say this, and I talk about with Golden Tate.

73
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: I don't think you can underestimate. And I have not

74
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: heard other people talking about this. The look ahead spot.

75
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: This is for the Cowboys. They they host they Eagles

76
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: next week in just an absolutely colossal game with playoff ramifications,

77
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: division ramifications. This is one of those games where it's everything.

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: It's easy to overlook a middling Seattle team that is

79
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: on the struggle bus, that has a quarterback that's this

80
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: is the Dallas has dominated everybody at home. This is

81
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: their third Philadelphia next week will be their third straight

82
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: home game. Okay, they remember, here are the last couple

83
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: teams they've played at home. Okay, They faced Sam Howell,

84
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: they won forty five to ten. They faced Danny Devita,

85
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Tommy Devido. They won forty nine seventeen. They

86
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: faced Matt Stafford, who got knocked out before halftime, and

87
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: they won forty three twenty. They faced Mac Jones and

88
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: they won thirty eight to three. And they faced Zach

89
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: Wilson in his first start and they won first start

90
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: since Rogers went down, and they won thirty to ten. Okay,

91
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: we can agree Gino Smith isn't much, but he's better

92
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: than all those guys. Now, if Stafford had played the

93
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 2: full game, maybe it's different story. Stafford had the unfortunate

94
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: pick six. This is a Dallas team that if they

95
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: get rolling, it's over. I don't want to compare them

96
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: to like you guys. Remember, I can't go back to

97
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: UNLV basketball like that or Arkansas Razorbacks. But like when

98
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: they're swarming, it's like the Amiba defense and you can't

99
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: bring the ball up court. The crowd is loud, the

100
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: defense is sitting on routes looking for the pick six,

101
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: and there's a world where Gino Smith melts and Seattle

102
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: gets blasted. All that being said, I am again. Next

103
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: Sunday night football, Philadelphia comes to Dallas. Okay, last year

104
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: Philadelphia went there, Minshew turned it over a bunch and

105
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: Dallas held on for victory. A couple of weeks ago,

106
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: Dak was excellent and they should have beat Philly. They

107
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: did not because of some It was a game literally

108
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: of inches. The tight end almost got in on fourth

109
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: and goal, Dak stepped barely on the sideline on the

110
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: two point conversion. It's just unlucky, and I think Dallas

111
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: is focused on Philly. I think it's easy to overlook

112
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: Seattle was just got smashed by San fran I know

113
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: there is the whole hey, you don't want to play

114
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: after San Francisco man teams struggle. I get all that.

115
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: I get that.

116
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: Jacksonville, by the way, looked just fine the week after

117
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: San Francisco. So I took the nine and a half.

118
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: Obviously ten is much more key number. Probably should have

119
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: taken it. I think this is actually like a like

120
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: a three or six point game. This to me feels

121
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: like that Dallas is good at Gino Smith is like, hey,

122
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 2: you know what, I can hang with these guys, and

123
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: Gino raises his level of play. He doesn't play like

124
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: he did crappy against some of these other teams like Cleveland. Gosh,

125
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: he was bad. Total forty seven and a half. I

126
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 2: would look over. Although nobody's betting primetime overs because primetime

127
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: unders hold on. I wrote it down in the notes,

128
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: Sunday Night and Monday Night unders this season twenty three

129
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: and three. That's insanity. It's absolutely bonkers. Unders have been

130
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: a thing in primetime this season, like seventy percent or something.

131
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: I think. Think the only play here is over. That's

132
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: all you can do with Dallas. Play the over. Seattle's

133
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: defense can be opportunistic. Would not shock me if they

134
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: were able to big hit Scoop and score early pick

135
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: six on a tip. Something I can see the Seattle.

136
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: Remember this is a Seattle team that they got some dudes.

137
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: They just haven't really shown up here in the last

138
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, five weeks. So I did take Seattle

139
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: not a huge play. This game's big for them. You know,

140
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: you got Green Bay knocking on the door. You got

141
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: the Rams who they got swept by knocking on the door.

142
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: Seattle did not look good against Washington, couldn't cover for me.

143
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: They got smashed by the Ravens. They barely got by PJ. Walker.

144
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: They barely covered against Arizona. This is a team that

145
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: has not looked good basically since that Giants game in

146
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: I think it was September. Like the they just haven't

147
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: looked good. They'd look good against Lions in Week two,

148
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: but I don't know. Kenneth Walker unlikely to play. Do

149
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: I start Zach Charbonney in fantasy? I think I might

150
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: the Dallas linebackers. You know, the pass rush is so strong.

151
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: I think there'll be a lot of dump offs to Charbonnay.

152
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: But there's a big edge for these Seattle receivers. The

153
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: problem is can Gino get them the ball? Dan Quinn

154
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: Good defensive coordinator, got some dudes. I think this is

155
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: a close game. I'll go Cowboys twenty seven, Seahawks twenty three.

156
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: I think Seattle can cover the spread. I will not

157
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: put anything money line here. This could be over by halftime,

158
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: but I like Seattle to keep it close and without

159
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: further ado, let's get to our guest, the one and

160
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: only Showtime Tate Golden Tate, former NFL wide receiver. You

161
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: know a guy Jason likes to think he knows everything

162
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: when it comes to sports. I know what sports fans want,

163
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: but for everything he doesn't, he knows a guy who does.

164
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: Let's just say I know a guy who knows the

165
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: guy who knows another guy. All right, let's welcome into

166
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: straight fire. A guy you know from his time at

167
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. He was a superstar playmaker on the outside.

168
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: I think he has some spectacular punt returns for scores.

169
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: And then in the NFL with multiple teams, Seahawks, Lions.

170
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: We'll get into all of it. Golden Tate, How you doing,

171
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: my man.

172
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm good man. Thanks for having me on. It's been

173
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: a while so I've seen you. Hadn't seen you since

174
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: I came out to Oxen. Was on the college.

175
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, on the herd. I remember. I love when I

176
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: love to tell stories about when these former athletes come in,

177
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: I'm just like a sponge, just peppering with questions, trying

178
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: to learn stuff. So I thought we'd bring you in

179
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: here on a big game for the Seattle Seahawks. They

180
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: faced the Cowboys Thursday night football. We'll start there, obviously,

181
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: we'll get to your Notre Dame and all the fun

182
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 2: other stuff, but I just wanted to get the game

183
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: out of the way quickly. So Seattle's kind of reeling.

184
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: Gino Smith has kind of become what we thought he

185
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: would be. Gino Smith, you know, he was very good

186
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: last year. He's not as good this year. But this

187
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: feels like kind of a must win for the Seahawks,

188
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: who looked awesome earlier this year. They got guys on defense,

189
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: they're just not getting stopped and they got to face

190
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: this juggernaut in Dallas. What are you seeing in Seattle

191
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: that's not going well?

192
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, like you said, Gino has come back

193
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: down to reality. I still think he's solid and he's

194
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: good for that offense when he's on, but they're just

195
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: not They're lacking the exposive plays. But then you look

196
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: at the roster that they have on offense at least,

197
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: and you say, you see DK, you see Tyler Locke,

198
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: who's still performing well, and then Jasen, who we kind

199
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: of keep waiting for him to eclipse into that guy

200
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: that we know that he can be. And especially obviously

201
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: in the fantasy world, we had high expectations, but they're

202
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: just not clicking. But one thing, I felt like they

203
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: were going to be better this year because I felt

204
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: like they're getting back to the Seahawk team that when

205
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: I was with them, it was run first, and that's

206
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: that's what you set up everything with. And they've been

207
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: running the ball efficiently with with ken Walker the third

208
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: and then Charbonnay when he's in there. But they just

209
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: aren't putting up as many points as we need them

210
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: to and want them to. And they're also in the

211
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: division right now with the forty nine ers, which is

212
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, they're lighting it up, and the Rams are

213
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: kind of I guess hit or miss Arizona. Now that

214
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: they have Kyler back, I feel like they should be

215
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: performing a little bit better. But you know, I don't

216
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: know if really anybody felt like they were going to

217
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: be a top three, four or five team in NFC anyway, right.

218
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we thought they'd be better, but they would

219
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,599
Speaker 1: have had to. Like I feel like last year was

220
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: kind of like WHOA. I mean, y'all shocked is because

221
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: we thought y'all going to be a bottom half team. Instead,

222
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: y'all made a run beat a lot of teams we

223
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: didn't know how are you gonna how are you going

224
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: to deal with not having Russell Wilson? You know, you

225
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: had them for a decade. Now you have Gino who

226
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: showed up and did extremely well. We didn't know what

227
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: to expect and kind of now, I guess the dust

228
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: is kind of settled and they are who we kind

229
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: of thought they were going to be last year. I

230
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: guess in a way.

231
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: It's weird, you know, the media perspective on teams that

232
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 2: come out of nowhere, Like last year, nothing was expected

233
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: of Seattle and then they pop and they're really good.

234
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: This year, there were expectations and they're not really meeting them.

235
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. They might get in the playoffs, we'll see.

236
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 2: But as an athlete, like, do are you aware, Like,

237
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: all right, man, you know, we gotta we got a

238
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: squad and nobody knows. The media is not talking. I'm

239
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: not hearing it on the radio, TV, Internet. We're got

240
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: to surprise some people and then all right, we're here,

241
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna dominate, we're gonna win, We're gonna go to

242
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. And then, you know, like the expectation thing,

243
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: how do you see it from the inside as an athlete.

244
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: From the inside, you believe in yourself. You don't listen,

245
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: you try not to listen to any of the noise,

246
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: and you have games like the forty nine ers circled,

247
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: you have you know, the Bengals circled Uh, teams like that,

248
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: circled like and you're feeling like, all right, we beat

249
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: these guys. We are true contenders and we can actually

250
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: do this. But you believe just based off the work

251
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: that you start putting in. You know, really after the season,

252
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: you're doing maintenance and trying to figure out where your

253
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: weaknesses are and trying to make them your stress. And

254
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: suddenly and then you show up in April and you

255
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: do all the OTAs and all that stuff, and you

256
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: start building the camaraderie and all that stuff, and it's

257
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: just for them. It's kind of been. They just haven't

258
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: clicked yet, and it's getting later and later and later.

259
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: It's not too late, but they're running at a time.

260
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: They're still in the mix very much so, but they

261
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: must it is impairedive that they figure out what they

262
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: want their identity to be and stay with it and

263
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: play well while you know, as we get into December,

264
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: because you have to play well in December to even

265
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: make it too January.

266
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: I got to ask about the Cowboys. You know, Golden

267
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: they were dominant against bad teams. We saw them step

268
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: up in class against the Eagles and they lose, and

269
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: they of course got smashed by the Niners. But you know,

270
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: when you play like four or five games in a

271
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: row against bad teams and you crush them score forty points,

272
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: everybody's oh, Cowboys can win the Super Bowl. The one

273
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: thing I haven't heard people talk about for this matchup

274
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 2: is who do the Cowboys have after Seattle at the

275
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: Eagles in that rematch and that game's everything to them.

276
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: I do wonder is the look ahead thing real? You

277
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 2: just mentioned team circling games on calendars. You know, after

278
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: Dallas lost in Philly, they were like that we had

279
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: that game. We had like fifteen first downs of the

280
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, they had like one. We should have won

281
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: that game. They immediately went home circled the date, and

282
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: I just wonder, is it possible they overlook Seattle a

283
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: little bit tonight?

284
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: They very well could, because it has happened a lot,

285
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: and obviously Vegas figures out and they always know something

286
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: we don't. But the Cowboys are playing extremely well right now.

287
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna catch I think I don't

288
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: have a really tough time catching Philly because Phillies halfway

289
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: through their strong schedule and have gone three and zero

290
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: versus the Bills. Dallas case what on the road when

291
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: we were kind of wondering what they're gonna do. But

292
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: Dallas is arguably the second, you know, the third best

293
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: team in NFC in my opinion.

294
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: Who rank them? Niners, Eagles, and Cowboys? Who you got

295
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: unless unless you want to put Detroit in there.

296
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: I do, I do, But you know, what they've been

297
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: doing recently is not been what's up and we need

298
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: to see we need them to play much much better,

299
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: especially in December. But you know, it's one and two

300
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: the toss up to me, it's definitely a toss up

301
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: between Philly and the forty nine ers, and obviously vegacies

302
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers as a much better team. Clearly

303
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: if you have them, you have you have Philly as

304
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: an underdog at home, and they have the best freaking

305
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: schedule but the best record in the NFL right now.

306
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's wild to me. So you know, I'm

307
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: trying to figure that all out. Although the forty nineers

308
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: are playing very good football, but so it's Dallas, and

309
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: so it's Philly. And so going back to the whole

310
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: Dallas question is like, yeah, I don't think they're going

311
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: to catch Philly. It's especially if they don't beat them

312
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: what next week or the we got whenever they play them.

313
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: But I do think they could do some damage in

314
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I am very confident that Cowboys get into

315
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs and do some things. Now, I'm not a

316
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan by any means. In fact, I get sick

317
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: and tired of hearing about the America's team and the

318
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys every single year, and then they underperform, especially

319
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: in December. So I'm kind of like, is it going

320
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: to happen? But this year just feels a little bit different.

321
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: I Mean, their running game is not even really that

322
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: good in my opinion right now, but Dak is playing well,

323
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: that defense is playing well. I mean you have Digs

324
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: who's out for the season, and then you have this

325
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: Bland kid who just set the record for freaking pick

326
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: sixes in the year. I mean that is wild to me.

327
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: So they got something good over there, and like you said,

328
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: they felt like they should have beat Philly and it

329
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: was a very good, close game. But you know, you

330
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: got to play the games. You know that we've seen

331
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: so many times with injuries and penalties and just knucklehead

332
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: mistakes where a team should blow another team out and

333
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: end up losing or something like that. But man, you

334
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: gotta take them serious right now.

335
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to ask about the Lions, who you

336
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: know I tossed in there. I don't think they're top three.

337
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: I mean they're starting to show some cracks. Jared Goff struggling.

338
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, though, Golden, So when you go

339
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: to Detroit, they got Megatron and Matt Stafford and it's

340
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: you know, Stafford was the number one pick and a

341
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: lot of expectations and then he never won a playoff

342
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: game in Detroit. I'm just curious when you're signing with Detroit,

343
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: you know, how do you view Stafford before you signed

344
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: with him? Because he's somehow still in the league and

345
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 2: playing pretty well. But like, what was your thought process

346
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: going to Detroit? Was did Stafford call you?

347
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, no, Well, so I actually partied in

348
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: Vegas with Stafford, unrelated to me even being a free

349
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: agent at that point, earlier. At at some point I

350
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: was with Chris Durham, who's also a UGA boy that

351
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, played and worked for a while with him,

352
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: and you know he was cool, but they didn't get

353
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: to spend much time with him. Circle back to you know,

354
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: me hitting free agency after we win the Super Bowl

355
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: and then I get a call from Detroit, and to me,

356
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: it was like the ideal perfect situation in my mind. Look,

357
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm going into a situation where they like to throw

358
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: the ball and I'm leaving a situation where they are

359
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: run first play action pass back to the run. So

360
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: for me, I was like, Okay, I'm gonna get to

361
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a lot of opportunities. Next thing is

362
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to play with Megatron. And at that at

363
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: that point, the best receiver in the league, you know,

364
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: just he earns and lives up to that name of Megatron.

365
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, okay, well I got Stafford, Matthew Stafford, Gunslinger.

366
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: I watched him at Georgia. You can see him. I mean,

367
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: although the record and Detroit is, you know, not what

368
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: you wanted to be and they got to deal with

369
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, but look, he's a gunslinger. And I'm thinking,

370
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: all right, well, Megatron's gonna get all the double cook

371
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: coverage and all the lockdown corners, and I'm gonna sit

372
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: on the backside or wherever I am and get the

373
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: number two cornerbacks and all the great matchups. And I

374
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: see myself eating. Plus I believed in myself so much.

375
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Now I didn't know what I was getting myself into.

376
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is by far the best quarterback I've ever

377
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: played with, and people thought I was crazy when I

378
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: said that when he was still in Detroit and I

379
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: didn't pick Russell Wilson. Now I believe he's proved otherwise.

380
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: But Matthew can make every single throw, and he can

381
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: make every single throw making it look easy. I will

382
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: never forget. We were playing in London. We were down

383
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: to Atlanta Falcons. I don't know, something similar to twenty

384
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: one to three, but it wasn't the Super Bowl course.

385
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: And we climbed our way back across the pond and

386
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: I remember this ball. It was a It was a

387
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: naked which is a you know, fake to run rollout.

388
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: We end up having covered two. I get past the

389
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: cornerback and I just kind of keep running. He has

390
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: to make some people miss. And next thing you know,

391
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: I see him wind up which looks super casuals kind

392
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: of like like this, but he threw that ball sixty

393
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: yards on a dime. I caught it perfectly like this.

394
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: Couldn't even believe how fast it got up on me

395
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: to like come, you know, to be within like I

396
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: don't know, one score or something like wind up winning

397
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: the game. But I was like, man, this dude is

398
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: the truth. He just made this six yard throat looked

399
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: like he was just throwing like an out route. It

400
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: was just so smooth and the tightest spiral, and it

401
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: was like, man, he's a real deal. Now my next

402
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: story is he looking back now? Matthew Stafford is the

403
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: reason why I think I got crowned the yat King, Okay,

404
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: because that was so many times where I was like, Okay,

405
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm not open. I got a guy like right here

406
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: in my back hip. But he would throw throw it.

407
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: He would throw it, and I would like, I'm not open.

408
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: But he would place it in a place a place

409
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: where I could only catch it, and next thing you know,

410
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: I would catch it. Defender would slide off because they

411
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: probably couldn't believe he threw me the ball either and this,

412
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, I go. I take a five yard route,

413
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: a gain to you know, thirty yards, forty yards, big

414
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: exposive plays. And then I was like, man, he is

415
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: the real deal. He was. His timing was incredible. I

416
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: would come out my brakes and the ball is already

417
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: more than halfway there. Now with Fafford, you got to

418
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: know how to catch. You have to know how to

419
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: pluck the ball and catch because it looks like it's

420
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: coming easy. But we don't have that little white stripe

421
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: that you have. And with the college football right where

422
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: you can kind of tell how the rotations are. Now

423
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: that ball was zooming and I would have a chance

424
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: to take like a mental picture coming out my brakes.

425
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: I would catch the ball and know like, okay, I

426
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: got this ball pretty quickly. This defender can't be that,

427
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, he has to be within three yards to me.

428
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: So I was able to make a move and go

429
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: and I appreciate that so much. And I didn't realize

430
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: how special he was until I actually left. And then

431
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: I had to deal with quarterbacks who didn't have as

432
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: strong as the arm as him.

433
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: Who's that Eli Manning?

434
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: Well, I'll call Eli and his the last year. I

435
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: mean when I got to New York, Eli was, Oh.

436
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 2: He was kind of done.

437
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: He was a backup. I mean, you know, Daniel Jones

438
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: got hurt and then he came back in and I.

439
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: Did catch well, didn't they bench him?

440
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: It was up? Yeah, that's either bench or heard and so.

441
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 2: And then who did you have in Philly? Was it Foles?

442
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 2: And who?

443
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: I had Carson when I got there? When I got

444
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: traded there mid season contract year after they actually just

445
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: played in London, and then Carson had like some neck

446
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: or back injury that they had to sit out, and

447
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 1: then I had Nick Foles. Who is you know, legend

448
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: in Philly. Obviously, yes, that's super wrong.

473
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 2: Russ Stafford, Fowles, Wentz, Eli, Daniel Jones, and you're saying

474
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 2: by far Stafford was the best of those.

475
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also played with Matt Houselback. I played with

476
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: Javaris Jackson. Matt Flynn was on the team. But you

477
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: know he signed him to twenty stole money. Yeah, hrafted

478
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and he never even touched the field. So yeah,

479
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: but Stafford is a special talent and that guy is

480
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: tough as nails. Man, he's going to be on that field.

481
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: He just a good old boy that just loves football.

482
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: You think he's a Hall of Fame guy. I know

483
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 2: there's people some people want to say no, because he

484
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: only doesn't have a many playoff wins except for the

485
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: run with the Rams that one year. I think he's

486
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: a lock. But that's just me.

487
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: Without being I mean, yes, I mean to me, it

488
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: is a no brainer. I don't see what the question

489
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: is because I don't care if you look, he has

490
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, doesn't he.

491
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Russ has a Super Bowl and people say

492
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: he's not a Hall of Fame.

493
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but Russ's stats passing stats and don't even

494
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: come close in my opinion, and Russ through a great

495
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: deep ball. I mean yeah, Russ's touch on deep balls

496
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: was you know, I've said it before. It's like being

497
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: in a movie Little Giants and catching toilet paper. I mean,

498
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: he just hit your hand so awfully and it sticks.

499
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: But Stafford, Man, there's no one I trust more than

500
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 1: you know in a fourth quarter comeback. I mean, this

501
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: guy is what He's had over fifty four thousand passing yards.

502
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, he's put up some numbers.

503
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: He's thrown for four hey what seven eight nine times? Uh,

504
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: the fastest player in history to reach forty k passing yards.

505
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: And I think the last time I check you, he's

506
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: somewhere top ten and all time passing yards. And this

507
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: is being in Detroit.

508
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: Okay, but yeah, he was playing catch up a lot.

509
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: I like Stafford personally. I think he's a Hall of Fame.

510
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: But wait, so what about Eli Manning? Though two Super Bowls?

511
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 2: But a lot of people judge hall of fame on

512
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: were you ever the best quarterback in the league that

513
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 2: season or even second best? And like I think a

514
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: lot of people would say Eli was never like a

515
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 2: top five quarterback ever in any season. He just had

516
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: two great playoff runs.

517
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it depends on who you know, who's doing the votes,

518
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: and you know all that stuff.

519
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: And he'd beat the undefeated Patriots, which.

520
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: Which is that's impressive, very impressive. I think he got

521
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: I think you gotta say Eli's I think you got

522
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: to say.

523
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: I want to I like, I was reading some old

524
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: stories about you in Tennessee and high school, and you know,

525
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm a dad. I got kids who play sports. And

526
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 2: my kids are ten and twelve, and they're getting to

527
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: the age where a lot of their friends are like,

528
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: I just want to play baseball, I just want to

529
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: do basketball, just want to football. And I try to

530
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: tell them, like, dude, all the data says you've got

531
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 2: to play multiple sports. And I read your story and

532
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: you were like big time baseball, football, and then you

533
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 2: worked in some track. What was your experience like as

534
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: like a multi sport athlete versus just doing one and

535
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: really drilling down.

536
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's admirable that kids are mature enough,

537
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: and that's with air quotes that they feel like they

538
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: want to focus on one sport and really dill that

539
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: craft in. Now, the way I grew up, we didn't

540
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: have really many football camps. In seven oh seven camps,

541
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: you had baseball season, maybe some summer baseball season roll

542
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: over into what the football season goes straight into basketball season.

543
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: And for me, looking back at my NFL career, I

544
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: think my success was a direct correlation to me playing

545
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: baseball and playing in the outfield. I felt like, looking

546
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: back at it, if I can track a baseball that's

547
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: being hit, you know, two hundred three hundred feet away

548
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: from me, and figure out the spin, how to high

549
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: point that ball going to crow op to throw that

550
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: ball with the you know, just a little bit of

551
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: baseball with the mint, then I can time as a

552
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: five ten receiver. I can time up an NFL football

553
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: to find out, you know, figure out when I need

554
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: to jump, when I need to body control, because you

555
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: have to have that in baseball. And so I felt

556
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: like a lot of my success just came from like

557
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: the handnite coordination of what baseball did for me, what

558
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: playing ping pong did for me.

559
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: And are you go to ping pong?

560
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm the man of ping pong really and I'm left handed.

561
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: Oh are you left Okay? So I've been lobbying the

562
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: herd to bring a ping pong table onto the set

563
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: because I can fashioned myself really good at ping pong.

564
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 2: So next time you're out, we'll have to try to

565
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: get a game. I'm sure you'll smoke me. I don't

566
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: play as often as I would like to, but I

567
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: grew up with a table. I'm sure you did too.

568
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the story on me and ping pong was

569
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: what was We had one in my high school Poke

570
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: John Paul the second in Hendersfield High School, and I

571
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: remember just kind of seeing it, was like, oh, this

572
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: looks cool, And I started messing around with get my

573
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: tail kicked by just about anybody who came in the hallway.

574
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: But I was a competitor, so I was like, I'm

575
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: going to figure this out. Yeah, but I'll never forget.

576
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: The headmaster, who's also you know, the's principal of the school,

577
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: shows up and hey, Golden, like, I'm the best athlete

578
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: in history at this punk because we've just only been

579
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: open for like three three years. But anyway, I ended

580
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: up playing him. He has on a suit and dress

581
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: shoes and he absolutely whips me and talks crap to

582
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: me while he does it. Oh wow, do you understand that?

583
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: After that day, I said, mom my birthday, I went

584
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: a ping pong table.

585
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

586
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: Put we put it in the garage. My brother and

587
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: I played every day for hours and hours, and my

588
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: mom was a ping pong player, so she was taking

589
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: my butt, you know when I first started too, But

590
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: we would play every single day, and I just learned

591
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: the game. And you know, thankfully, when I went to

592
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: play college baseball, we had a table in the locker room,

593
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: and baseball players are typically really good ping pong players.

594
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: And then I went to UH into the league and

595
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: IF in the NFL, and we had them throughout the

596
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: locker room, and I felt like, once I got to

597
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: be an old head, I was like, hey, it is

598
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: very it's imperative to have a ping pong table in

599
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: your locker room. One the camradie that you're gonna be

600
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: ronnerys like guys in the locker room hanging out talking smack.

601
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, competing is great two hand eye coordination. If

602
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: I can if I can track this little bitty ball

603
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: that has spin that's only what six or seven feet

604
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: away from me, and to be able to get a

605
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: paddle on it in the center of the face, yeah,

606
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: my hand eye coordination is being developed naturally in a

607
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: fun way. And so I saw guys who were not

608
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: the greatest past catchers but had enormous amounts of other skills.

609
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: I saw those guys get better at catching because I because,

610
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: in my opinion, they played ping pong and they started

611
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: playing it, and it was just so I'm a huge believer.

612
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: But then I had Matt Patricia coming in with the

613
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: Patriot Way and he wanted no distraction, so he took

614
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: it out for a while and I had to have

615
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: a conversation with him, but eventually put it back in.

616
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: But really, yeah, he took away the ping pong table. Yeah,

617
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: why And what was the logic?

618
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: The Patriot Way was like, we want you to focus

619
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: on football and only football and anything else that you're

620
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: worrying about means you're not focused. Like you know, if

621
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: you're worried about what you're wearing on the plane, you're

622
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: thinking about stuff that doesn't matter. Okay, And there was

623
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: no you don't this one I actually kind of grew

624
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: grew on me, like once I left. But it was

625
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: like no no cell phones outside locker room, which I

626
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: was like, that's.

627
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: What do you mean inside the locker room?

628
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 1: Like no, sorry, no cell phones out literally literally outside

629
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: of the locker room, like walking like if you're going

630
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: to lunch, nope, obviously, no meetings, like you keep it.

631
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't hate that. Yeah, that's not bad.

632
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I did. I thought that was silly at

633
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: first until you know, obviously the Matthew Stafford issues were

634
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: like he had nothing in common with the young guys

635
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: because you get down practicing guys or sitting there swiping

636
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: or doing whatever. They're on their yeah, you know, you know,

637
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: eye to eye contact and conversation. So I actually that

638
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: wone grew on me. But they just the Patriot way.

639
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: They wanted to control literally everything, and to the point

640
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: where like we couldn't listen to music and our headphones

641
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: after a certain time on so.

642
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: What would he He would see you listening to music

643
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: and then he would be like, turn that off.

644
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: There was times yeah yeah, how.

645
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: Did that go over it?

646
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: It didn't go very well?

647
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't he fail miserably there?

648
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, he traded me away and he got fired.

649
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 2: Wait, so what he did he trade you away because

650
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: you were like mister ping pong and music and stuff.

651
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: No, no, no, they traded So I actually got offered

652
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: a contract like on a Friday before a game, right

653
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: before the trade deadline, which was super low ball, and

654
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: I was like, no, dude, what I've done? For this city,

655
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, for this team in the in the community,

656
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: like I deserve a lot more than this, like you know,

657
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: stats and everything. And I said no on a Friday,

658
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: And on a Tuesday, I get a call from Bob

659
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: Quinn said, hey, Golden, how you doing. I'm like good,

660
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm just leaving a doctor's appointment. I was like, well,

661
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: I just want to let you know that we have

662
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: made a decision to trade you to the Philadelphia Eagles.

663
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: I was like over the phone. Yeah, not even in person.

664
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 2: I mean you've been there for a while, right.

665
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was on my off day too, so I

666
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: had to I didn't have time to like really digest

667
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: what it just happened. It was just like, okay, you're traded.

668
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: Now you got to go home, pack a suit, a

669
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: lot of Philly, do a presser. Thankfully, they were coming

670
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: off of the game, which meant you were going into

671
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: buy in those years. At least now it's not the case.

672
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: But went there and started setting up my I had

673
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: a one year old at the time. Oh, my wife

674
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: was pregnant with our second damn, and she packed the

675
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: whole house. I went to try to figure out where

676
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: my locker was, where I'm going to live the play goodness.

677
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: Guys names, the coaches, names, how to get from the

678
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver room to the team meeting room. Just a

679
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: whole lot of stuff. That's just tough.

680
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: And you probably hated the Lions after that.

681
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, see, And my personality wouldn't have

682
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: have let me hate the Lions because like, I'm super

683
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: thankful for my time there, and I understand it is

684
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: a business and if you can't pay me, why not

685
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: try to get something for me in a trade. So

686
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: that made sense to me, and I felt like I

687
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: was going into a better situation, Like, Okay, the Eagles

688
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: just won a Super Bowl last year. They're trying to

689
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: make a push again. You know, it felt they're missing

690
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: a piece. I could be that piece, hopefully. Now. I

691
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: had no clue how hard it is to come in

692
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: and be a receiver mid season trade. I mean that's tough. Yeah,

693
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: but you know I was. I was excited for the

694
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: challenge and to be on a good team. You know.

695
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: So wait, was that the first Carson once year or second?

696
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: That was the second?

697
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: Because it so the year he was like becoming the

698
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: m v P.

699
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: No, he wasn't coming in that year, but he got.

700
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: Hurt in the Rams game.

701
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

702
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering because I remember reading about how Wentz

703
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: was just ego in the locker room, like he would

704
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: him and him and what's this? Was it Peterson?

705
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: Yeah?

706
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 2: Him and Peterson did? Was Peterson your coach?

707
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

708
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had Doug and then they didn't get along.

709
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 2: How did you like Peterson?

710
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: I enjoyed Peterson. I liked his offensive style. I think

711
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: I felt like he was a little bit too casual

712
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: for me, but I liked him as a person. He

713
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: was a golfer. I actually had hung out with him

714
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: at the Maya Century Championship in Tahoe, the big celebrity

715
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: golf the oh yeah, yeah. I remember seeing him asy hey,

716
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of joking, Hey, come get me, man,

717
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: come get me. I want to play for the Eagles.

718
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: I was partially joking. But they were coming off with

719
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings. I was like, yeah, kind of.

720
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: Wait were they coming off the woman with Foles?

721
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

722
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: Oh oh you got there, Okay, you got there later. Yeah,

723
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 2: Wentz was so you might have seen some of the

724
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: ugly Wentz Peterson stuff like I would. I'm reading articles

725
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: and it's like Carson Wentz would purposely call out of

726
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: Peterson Place because he just refused to run them and

727
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 2: like around the facility. He was a nightmare. And it's

728
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: weird because he bounced around a couple of teams and

729
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: now he's like out of the league, although I think

730
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 2: he's like with the Rams practice squad.

731
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I see, because life was happening so fast

732
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: and I just didn't know what was going on. I

733
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: was too busy trying to learn the plays and now,

734
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: so I didn't get a chance to like see, like

735
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: in detail, what was going on between those two. But

736
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: I know that they kept it very professional and professional ownly, Like, No,

737
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: it didn't seem like it was a very flourishing relationship,

738
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: right it was. It felt like I'm going to deal

739
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: with you because I have to deal with you and

740
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: kind of both ways. And then you know, Foles came

741
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: back in and it seemed it felt like a sigh

742
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: of relief for a lot of people involved. And I,

743
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, Carson is one of my really good friends,

744
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: Like I love him.

745
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know that. Yeah, I mean you guys

746
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 2: are still friends.

747
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't you know, you know how

748
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: it is families happened. Like, you're busy, so I don't

749
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: talk to him like he's a best friend. But like

750
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: when we see each other at PEO or on a

751
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: family vacation or something or just in pass like we

752
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: spend time with each other and talk about families and

753
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: reminisce on our time and enjoy each other. And the

754
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: same thing with Foles. Same thing with Foles. Like my

755
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: wife and the Foles and the Winds wives are really

756
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: good friends.

757
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's kind of cool. I guess I'll wrap

758
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: up with Notre Dame. And I happen to play pick

759
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 2: up poops and I'm on a rec league team out

760
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: here with a guy who played at Notre Dame, And

761
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: so I asked him, Hey, you got any questions for

762
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 2: Golden Tate. He's like a lot of stuff I can't

763
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 2: have you ask him, but definitely ask him about jumping

764
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 2: into the Michigan State band. Apparently that happened. Yeah, yeah,

765
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 2: so I didn't look it up on YouTube yet.

766
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, man, I've got I've had a few moments

767
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: in my career that just kind of stapled me into

768
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: like the college history, but my university history and really

769
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: the NFL history. And one of them is like jumping

770
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: into the Michigan State band. And I didn't have no

771
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: clue it was going to be this ripple effect that

772
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 1: I just hear about it every single time we played

773
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: Mission State, probably for the rest of time. And what

774
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: it happened was I caught a fade ball in the

775
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: corner of our end zone back when you know the rules,

776
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: you'll need one foot down. I make the catch and

777
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: I see like a little clerk claarinet player or a

778
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: tuba player like right here. Like I had no there's

779
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: no way I was gonna stop and not run that

780
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: person over so quickly, I'm thinking, okay, well if I

781
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: just jump and land on a lot of people, oh

782
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: that's a lot better than running over one little bandmates,

783
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: And I spread eagle, jump like spread eagle and with

784
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: intension of landing on a bunch of people, and they

785
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: all scattered, I mean, they scattered so quickly, and I

786
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: land on nothing but plastic chairs. Oh, and so I'm like, oh, oh,

787
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: that hurt. That hurt. But I just scored a touchdown.

788
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: So I come out playing it all cool, like yeah,

789
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: I just did that, And I was probably more sore

790
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: from landing on chairs and taking plastic to ribs and

791
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: I was the actual game. Since then, I've kind of

792
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, it comes up in conversation a whole lot.

793
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: Oh really, along with the hail Mary's catch with Green Bay.

794
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: And that's right, the hell Mary Catch. Football is back.

813
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: on social media, how she was at like a Notre

814

Speaker 2: Dame practice or a I guess her brother went there.

815
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: He didn't play football though, No, no.

816
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 2: And then you either met Taylor Swift or like asked

817
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 2: her out on a day.

818
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: I don't.

819
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if your wife will care

820
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 2: if you talk about it, but I think our audience

821
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 2: might be interested to know.

822
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, it's now My wife wouldn't doesn't care.

823
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: And I did not ask on a date. At the time,

824
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: I wish I would have, but now I'm married with

825
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: three beautiful kids. I'm glad I did not. But anyway,

826
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: so Austin went to Notre Dame and so doing that

827
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: process of deciding on if he's learning on Nore Dame.

828
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift came out and her family came out in

829
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: the football season, which was you know, we were practicing

830
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: and we'll just say it was a Wednesday or Thursday

831
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. I knew Taylor Swift because like Taylor Swift,

832
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: my go to like karaoke like song like our song

833

Speaker 1: love Story.

834
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 2: Was she even that big of a deal that back then?

835
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a big then but are.

836
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 2: You a country music guy.

837
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm from Nashville.

838
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, yeah, Tennessee my bad. Yes, yes, yes,

839
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 2: I'm from Nashville.

840
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: And she had spent a lot of time in Hendersonville,

841
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: which is where my high school was, and so, you know,

842
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: obviously we knew of her, and I didn't know at

843
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: the time, but she knew of me. So it's sometimes

844
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: sometimes in practice and I make, you know, make a

845
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: play on her sideline and I completely stopped the entire practice.

846
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is my shot. I just called a

847
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: pass near them. So I go down mom, dad, Austin

848
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: and whoever else is with him, and introduce myself and

849
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: I get the Taylor last and I'm like, Hi, I'm

850
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 1: Golden Tate. So nice to meet you. And she was like, wait,

851
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: are you Are you the guy that's from the same

852
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: town as me that's really good at football? And I

853
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: was like, yes, yes, yes, yes, that's me.

854
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: That is me.

855
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 1: Yes, you've heard of me. And so during that time

856
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: I felt like I had a shot at her, but

857
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: I didn't never have a chance to follow up with

858
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: the with the date. But her dad, Scott ended up

859
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: mentoring me through my early years in the league, and

860
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: I spoke spoke to him about, you know, branding stuff

861
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: and financial how to be financially sound, and I will

862
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: go to a lot of her concerts, but that was

863
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: kind of the closest thing to shooting my shot. I

864
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: got wow.

865
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,479
Speaker 2: So so he he's good at branding. Obviously, his daughter

866
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 2: is like the most famous woman in the world. Right now,

867

874
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,919

875
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: tell you why, because this girl is larger than life

876
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: and is going to it makes several millions, probably creeping

877

Speaker 1: up on billions. Yeah, in revenue. And that night it

878
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: rained from probably I'm talking about downpour thunderstorm rained. It

879
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: was supposed to start at seven, her concert didn't start

880
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: until twelve midnight, and she still came on stage at

881
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: midnight post you know, and and and her formed the

882
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: entire show in the Rain, where she could have very

883
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: easily just refunded everybody and be like oh done.

884
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: Like so you you your wife was at the Rain concert?

885

Speaker 1: Yes, yes, wow, my wife said it was awesome and

886
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: I think it spoke to like kind of who she

887
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: is as a person and a performer like that. She

888
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I'm gonna just I'm gonna

889
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: just eat this bullet right now and just go ahead

890
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: and rock this out with wet hair. I mean, you know,

891
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: possibly gonna slip on stage, get hurt. Yeah, just absolutely

892
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: crushed it. And Taylor was already awesome to me, but

893
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: now she's even more awesome. And yeah, she's even more

894
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: awesome now that she's dating Travis, and you know, Travis

Speaker 2: then you tennessee people stick together. Man. Impressive, all right,

903
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 2: Golden Tas. By the way, you got a super Bowl

904
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: pick while I got you here.

905
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: A super Bowl pick. Oh oh okay, I thought she

906
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: was talking about like you've meant like a picture like

907
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: stuff back here.

908
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: I meant like, yeah, are you're gonna be chalky and

909
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: go like Niners? Chiefs? Are you gonna go off off

910
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 2: off market and go? Jags? Cowboys? I don't know.

911
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. The a f C is kind of blah

912
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: to me right now.

913
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know Burrow Rogers. Yeah, yeah, it's tough.

914
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of hard to say anyone besides,

915
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna go, but I guess the Jags

916
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: have us chance. We'll say that, but I'm gonna go Ravens. Oh,

917
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens are playing well right now too. I like

918
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: the I like the Ravens. They're playing very very well.

919
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna ignore the FC because I just

920
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 1: don't know. But the NFC, I think it's obviously between

921
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the Eagles and the forty nine ers,

922
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: and so I think this week is huge to see

923
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. But man, like I said, like,

924
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles are playing some good football right now. I mean,

925
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: they are winning this There's no one who's had a

926
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,479
Speaker 1: harder stretch of games in Philly, Okay, and they are.

927
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: They're winning. They are winning on the road, at home,

928
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, you know, ugly games, good games. They're finding

929
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: ways to grind it out and win. And so the

930
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: fact that they're three and oho over their last three

931
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: games is incredible. And looking to go four and oh

932
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: during this stretch, it's just hard.

933
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 2: But just hope they're not peaking too early.

934
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 1: You know that that is definitely a worry.

935
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 2: Injury is starting to mount. It's like it's tough, yeah.

936
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: But you do want to be playing your best football,

937
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, after Thanksgiving. You want to be playing your

938
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: bestketball after Thanksgiving going into December, and that's what they're doing.

939
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: We just hope they can maintain it. But look, it's

940
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: still there's still a lot of games left to be

941
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: played and a lot of things happen, especially with injuries

942
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: and you know, being the biggest one. But you gotta

943
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: like the Eagles right now.

944
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Golden Tate, former NFL star, budding media sensation.

945
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,120

946
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:17,960
