1 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: I've always believed in hard work and hard works what's 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: got me to this position? I mean right now, I've 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: never been the most athletic, I've never been the most talented, 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: but I've always worked the hardest. I mean when you 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: have kids opening up with all their peers around them 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: saying that, you know, this is what I saw from 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: you know, I've thought about killing myself. I felt about this. 8 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: I thought about that. I've tried to kill myself. Like 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: it will bring you to tears, but the guy is 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: still just on cloud nine, just fired up, firing us up, 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: and it like gives me goose bumps for the guy, like, Okay, 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: if you can do it, let's go, let's go. Welcome 13 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: into the lounge.

You don't don't enjoy the win, 21 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: focus on next week, and that's where we are. That's right. 22 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: I had a slice the cheesecake on the plane home. 23 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: That's as much as I enjoyed it. Turned the page 24 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: onto the jets. I was watching film. I was watching 25 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: film as soon as the game ended. Actually, I just 26 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: took a bite of one other person's cheesecake. It's too 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: big a slice. I was like, can I get one 28 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: bite of your cheesecake? And Dave Lange was happy enough 29 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: to oblige. See that's why. If I were sitting next 30 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: to you and you even thought about trying to eat 31 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: my cheesecake, you really got a fork in your hand. 32 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: Don't compressive, don't come compressive. Don't come close to my cheesecake. 33 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: Cassie calver Or, who runs our social media? Uh? Well, 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: does you also run socialia? Give you some credit for 35 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: the partial credit, h Cassie. Really, she was nice enough 36 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: to also give me a sip of her hot chocolate. Yeah, 37 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: so more own food. Other people in this apartment are 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: nice with sharing. You obviously didn't learn to parent the 39 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: lesson from your parents about how to share. Yeah, I 40 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: don't share food with other adults. No, I don't. What? Why? 41 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: Why does that have to end? As a child, because 42 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: because I could eat my own food, as I would 43 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: hope that you can't too. And in the end, but 44 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to waste the whole slice of cheesecake 45 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: that I only want one bite of. Let's move on, 46 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: Let's move on. I don't. I'm never sharing free with you, 47 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: all right. We got some good emails this week. As always, 48 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: you can read just at the lounge at Ravens dot 49 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: NFL dot net. First one comes from Kevin Avery, and 50 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: Kevin says, gents, your winning streak in pods matches the 51 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: Ravens makes meat draft not so much scared them with 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: a B minus draft in his own, so he gives 53 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: you credit for the way, but not a great draft. 54 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: That's fine. That's fine. You want to try to, uh, 55 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: he says, as a u s a swimming referee. Kind 56 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: of cool. Alright, he says. The most infuriating part of 57 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: observing NFL fish shading is their frequent violation of a 58 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: gospel rule of swimming officiating call only what you see, 59 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: not what might have happened, or which you assume probably happened. 60 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: I've lost count of how many times this year I've 61 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: heard the screams in my head. Stop guessing. So let's see, 62 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: is there a question here or just I think this 63 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: is mostly a rant, which I'm on board with a rant. 64 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: I think it's just a rant about the calls in Buffalo, 65 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: which I totally agree with. I mean, Michael Pierce's tackle 66 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: where you kind of slammed the guide to the ground, 67 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: as John Harwall said, they didn't call that the other 68 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: way the week before when a Ravens Ravens player got 69 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: slammed to the ground after the whistle. By the way, 70 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: Michael Pierce was in the act of actually tackling the 71 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: guy and did it and gets a flag, which was ridiculous. 72 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: Thomas Old Thomas personal foul getting up off the ground ridiculous. 73 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: I mean if he was trying to hurt him, I 74 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: mean he like tried to like kind of jump and 75 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: get over him after he was getting off ridiculous. That 76 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: was a huge penalty too. I mean, you're coming off 77 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: a sack and they drove on that. Then the Marlin 78 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: Humphrey p I I mean, I've seen more touching on 79 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: plays percent of plays, and that just give Cole Beasley 80 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: the oscar right now, give it to him. He sold it. 81 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: That was a straight soccer flop. He sold it. Look, 82 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,559 Speaker 1: I think that oftentimes the measure of a good team 83 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: is being able to to in all honesty withstand bad 84 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: calls like that and come out of it with a wind. 85 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: And I think that that says a lot about the Ravens. 86 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: On that last drive. They had some key penalties go 87 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: against him, that Pierce one and that Marlin one, but 88 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: they were still able to come out and get to 89 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: stop and get the wind. It says a lot about 90 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: this team. Totally agree. Alright, one more email, this one 91 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: from Steve. You gotta hit me with this last name 92 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: because because savage. Yeah, there's no way that's how it is. 93 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: STOPBAI might be great, s O b A j I sabag. 94 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: We'll go with it, Uh says big fan of show 95 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: seasons holder. Since the team came to Baltimore, now living 96 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: in Austin, Texas, Uh says, you recently talked about nicknames 97 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: and referred to a classic novel. The title is Three Musketeers, 98 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: How We're I feel like an idiot now that we're Yeah, 99 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: but sometimes I feel like I'm smart. This is not 100 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: one of those things, Um said. However, The main character 101 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: is D D R. Tannin. Who could call their number 102 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: one draft pick. Who becomes the fourth Musketeer at the 103 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: end of the book. So there was a fourth Musketeer 104 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: at the fourth Uh. Next, you guys admitted Lamb from 105 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: your Meat Draft. Big oversight. Who wants it? I love 106 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: another one? I thought of Duck. I love Duck. Didn't 107 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: have it on the Meat Draft. We should probably run 108 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: that back. He just wanted another shot. I'm shot. Okay, 109 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: So now now my question. I'm enjoying this season immensely, 110 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: but I'm finding it hard to adjust to the media adulation. 111 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: Even in our best even in our best years in 112 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl winning seasons, the Ravens have always been disrespected 113 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: by the media. As a fan, I've always enjoyed sneaking 114 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: up on teams and being underestimated. How how does a 115 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: long term fan avoid getting too caught up in this 116 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: hype and letting it inflate our expectations. I want the 117 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: Ravens to be a dynasty, but I don't want to 118 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: turn into a Pats fan. That's the last thing any 119 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: of us want to be. Yeah, I think that you 120 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,679 Speaker 1: enjoy it, Honestly, I think that what I've been telling 121 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: myself and I think that fans should also do this 122 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: is enjoy this ride. I think that there's no limit 123 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: on what this team could do. I absolutely think I 124 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: could win the Super Bowl. I think the Ravens are 125 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: the best team in the NFL, and I think that 126 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: if they at their best, would beat any other team 127 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: at their best, and that would continue through the Super Bowl. 128 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Will it happen. We're gonna have to wait and see. 129 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: But I think that so often we're just trained and condition. 130 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: As soon as the game ends. You know, we joked 131 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: about at the beginning, as soon as the game ends, 132 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: you immediately turned the page and start thinking about playoff seeding. 133 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: And if you beat the Jets on Thursday, then you 134 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: win the anf C North And like that's immediately where 135 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: your mind goes, and you're I'm already playing out different 136 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: playoff scenarios in my head, and who the Ravens could 137 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: play in the AMC Championship, and who they could play 138 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl and all this different stuff. Enjoy 139 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: this team, this ride, watching them every single week, all 140 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: the ridiculous juke moves, Like I get looking ahead, but 141 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: don't look past how much fun this season is right now? 142 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: These games are treat every week. I honestly can't remember 143 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: ever as my time as a Ravens fan and employee 144 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,119 Speaker 1: being as excited as I am to go to watch 145 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: this team play. Yeah. I mean, it's just like every 146 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: game is a treat. I mean, Lamar puts somebody on 147 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: his butt, it makes him look like a fool every 148 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: single week. You're just waiting for the play. Uh. And 149 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: and this offense obviously, you know, as I've talked about 150 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: watching a lot of bad Ravens offense over the years, 151 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: this offense is ridiculously fun to watch. The defense is 152 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: flying around getting after quarterbacks now, it's fun to watch. 153 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: The personalities are amazing, Their chemistry together is amazing. It's 154 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: just I totally agree with you, Like, don't, I don't. 155 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: We're giving Ravens fans license to enjoy things like you 156 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: were were so tainted now, Like I mean even us, 157 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: Like in our office, we were sitting here saying like, 158 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to see this team in 159 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs or I don't want to see this I'd 160 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: rather not face this team, and our guy Clifton Brown 161 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: had to step in and be like, guys, Ravens are 162 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: eleven and two right in the nine game win streak, Like, 163 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: what are you so scared of? Like they're they're on 164 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: a nine game win streak. Don't be frightened anymore. The 165 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: media attention where I think that could be a problem 166 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: as if you have a team that that changes who 167 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: they are and how they play, and I do not 168 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: expect that to be the case with this team. So, um, 169 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: all right, we got an interview to get into, but 170 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: as always, you guys can email us at the lounge 171 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: at Ravens dot NFL dot net.

Can 177 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: you tell us the whole story behind that? And and 178 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, how's the marriage going? Marriage is going great? 179 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: You know knocking would, but but it's uh, you know 180 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: behind that the whole thing. You know, we uh, me 181 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: and NICKI had been dating for four years at the time, 182 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: and you know, I knew I was gonna getting close 183 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: to proposing, and uh, you know, we we lost to 184 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: we lost to Auburn. Didn't know if we're going to 185 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: get in, and then we got in. When my buddies 186 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: coming say, man, you should just propose. After the National 187 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: Championship game, you know, coach Saban can't say anything. You know, 188 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: you're you're good, You're in the home stretch, you're out 189 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: of here. So I was like, no, I can't do that. 190 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: And then I started thinking. I was like, actually I 191 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: can't do that, Like I can't. I think I've earned 192 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: that right, and uh so, you know, gathering um and 193 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: then you know, we won the first game be Clemson 194 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: and then moved on and I had the ring in 195 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: my bag in the locker room and I told our 196 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: nutritionists to grab it from bag at halftime just so 197 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: he didn't have to care around the whole time. And 198 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: so it's, you know, it's it's a we're down, what 199 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: it was down twenty one or something like that, and 200 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: uh we started to come back. Never had a doubt 201 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna win that game. And uh so he had 202 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: the ring afterwards, you know, grab the ring from him. 203 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: Nikki did not have a pass to come down on 204 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: the field and the President United States was there. Um, 205 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: so security was ridiculous. So trying to get her down 206 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: on the field. Um, And I set it up previously 207 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: by telling her it's like, we're gonna take some pictures 208 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: down in the field, like previous players have done that before. 209 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: Bring their girlfriends or wives or whatever it was down 210 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: in the field and take some pictures. So, um, get 211 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: over there and get her to the spot where she 212 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: could get onto the field, and no one's standing around 213 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: and she can't get to like to the exit. And 214 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: I was like, just jump and I'll catch you. And 215 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, this this secret service woman 216 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: comes out of nowhere. She's like, if you jump, I 217 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: will taste you. If you jump, I will taste you. 218 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: And I'm like, if you tell us her, we're gonna 219 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: have a big problem. So anyways, I told my coach, 220 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: my offense line coach, like right before I was about 221 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: to do it, because I didn't want people think of 222 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: my mind was in the wrong place and you know, 223 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't focused on the game or whatever it may be. 224 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: So not many people knew what I was about to 225 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: do besides her family, my family, and like the head 226 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: strength coach or the head um athletic trainer knew because 227 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask to make sure if it was 228 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: an okay, I did and it wasn't just me um, 229 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: so he knew. He ran and grabbed the he his 230 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: wife gave her, gave Nikki the field pass, and so 231 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: she's trying to come down. She has the field pass, 232 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: she has the right credentials, and the people together is like, no, 233 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: you can't come down here, you don't have the right credentials. 234 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like, yes, he does, like let her 235 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: on the field, so I won't let her on the field. 236 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, my old long coach runs over, 237 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: grabs the producer for CBS, SEC Network and ESPN and 238 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: pulls them all over there, and it's like, look, this 239 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: is what's what happened, and you need to get this 240 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: girl in the field. They run over there, tell the 241 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: guys like moved by the way she's coming on the field. 242 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: Got her on the field. Literally, everyone is like surrounding 243 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: us and we're taking pictures. And then I had the 244 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: newspaper from the from the game and I was covering 245 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: the ring with that, and then I got out on 246 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: a knee proposed and it was. I mean, I didn't 247 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: really expect for it to blow up like it did, 248 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: but it was. I should have known it was, but 249 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: it was. It was really cool. It was a really 250 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: special woman. I was glad I could give that to her. 251 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: And I take advantage of the opportunity the one time 252 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: the media helps you. Yeah, an athlete, not blaming the media. 253 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: The good guys here. Do you think that she had 254 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: any idea, um like what she started to see any 255 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: of the commotion or what. I don't know. I really 256 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: don't know if she did or not. Um, she says 257 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: she didn't, but I mean she's she's a smart woman, 258 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: like she's smart, so um, you know, she's probably had 259 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: a little bit of idea in the back of her head, 260 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: but she had no clue. I had the ring. She didn't. 261 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: It was. It was good. It's well played. Hard to 262 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: top that one, it was. It was good. It came 263 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: out pretty smooth, all things considering. So so we buttered 264 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: you up with that. And now we got asked about 265 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: Alabama's currents. So yeah, sorry, I'm sorry. All right, we 266 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: can move on. We can.

I cannot pinpoint a 334 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: single guy that is a guy that I would remove 335 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: off of this team. Well that's a good point, right, 336 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's just such such a great 337 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: team from a from a personality standpoint.

I mean 421 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: it is right right, and so I'm like, holy crap. 422 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: So you know, I just thrown around my neck and 423 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: you know, walk in and I mean it just it 424 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: kind of blew up and it was I thought it 425 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: was really funny. So it's phenomenal. That was phenomenal. Not 426 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: quite as expensive, not quite as blinked out Lamar in Hollywood, 427 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: but in the homemade category, I mean, it takes the cake. Yea. 428 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: It was awesome, awesome thing. It was actually hanging up 429 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: in my house right now. So the trailer. So so 430 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: you're I'm also interested in the football perspective. I mean, 431 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: you were a center in college, right right? So when 432 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: was I mean you probably practiced at guards some, but 433 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: how new has guard been for you? Um? So I 434 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: came into Alabama, was a tackle out of high school, 435 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: and I transition from tackle to guarden in center. So 436 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: I played I played both in college a lot there 437 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: in practice. One year I played I think I started 438 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: two games at Garden in college or something like that, 439 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: and um, you know it's it's really there's not much 440 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: much difference, but about six inches of space in between 441 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: the defender. Um. So you know, it's really not a 442 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: huge transition for me. I've always been that swing guy. 443 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: They can play three. And my whole perspective is the 444 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: more you can do. I mean in college I played 445 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: off five positions. Um, and you know, the more you 446 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: can do, that's what gets you in the field. That's 447 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: what got me on the field of the Obama So 448 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: that was That's always been my mindset. I'm never never 449 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: gonna go anything. It's like, no, I'm not gonna do that. 450 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: It's like, if you want mait a long snap, a 451 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: long snap, if you want to play quarterback and play 452 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: quarterback like whatever it might be, like, I'll do it. 453 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: So right, how much confidence did you get from the 454 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: very first play of the season you pull around to 455 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: the right side and mark ingram uh gets has a 456 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: nice hold run through Truck's the guy. I think it 457 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: was like a forty nine yard runner or something like that. 458 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: How much did that play and being kind of the 459 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: point man, the lead blocker on that pulling around to 460 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: give you confidence, give me a lot of confidence. You know. 461 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: It was you know, coming in, I was not rest 462 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna lie. Um. You know, it's it 463 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: was my first like actual NFL start where I actually 464 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: one right out one the job, not because people got hurt, 465 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: and I feel like that's that's a lot better than 466 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: than if someone gets hurt and you just kind of 467 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: get thrown you another level right right exactly. And so 468 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, I pull around and luckily I called him 469 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: out of the right side of my eye right before 470 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: he I mean it was a hard hit, like a 471 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 1: little bit like not gonna lie. Uh, so he busted 472 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: that run. It was great. That was a great momentum 473 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,959 Speaker 1: starter from the very first place. So and you know, 474 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: hopefully just keep that momentum rolling. So, yeah, you guys, 475 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: is an offensive line really obviously the offense overall. You're 476 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: just playing at a really high level.

A lot? I mean, you know, every everybody 514 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: has a story, and Marshall's told me his, and I'm 515 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: sure y'all know his. But he um, you know just 516 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: about how you have to work every day. You know, 517 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: nothing's gonna be given to you. You have to come 518 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: out and work. You know, Marshall could take every single 519 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: day offense, every game day, but he doesn't. He comes 520 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: out and he busses. But every day, every wrap, every 521 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's individual or or a game rep 522 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, he is out there grinding. I mean, 523 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: the guy goes percent. He has either full speed or stop. 524 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: There there's no um so that I mean that guy is. 525 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: He's He's great to learn from and like for him 526 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: to be such an old vet um for me to 527 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: be able to to kind of take that and roll 528 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: with it and take that mentality, and it's like nothing's 529 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: ever gonna be easy, nothing's will be given to you. 530 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: You gotta work for it every day. Going back to 531 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: the pump up stuff with him, like over the course 532 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: of his career, he was able to kind of stay 533 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: in the background because you had Terrell, Suggs and ray 534 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: Lewis before that, and he wasn't. He was never that 535 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: guy until this year. And I feel like the fact 536 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: that he is sort of new into that role gives 537 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: it more. It's more organic, likeels, it feels more real, 538 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: like I can I'm just interested to hear, Like why 539 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: it gets you so fired up? Because I can definitely 540 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: sense that when he gets into the middle of that 541 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: holdle before games, like people walk out of there, I 542 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: walk out of back up to the press box. I'm like, 543 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. I'm not fire off some sweets, 544 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: let's go. Just you know, Marshall is one of those guys. 545 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: He's not a hypocrite. When he says something, he does 546 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: it and I think that just speaks volumes to who 547 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: he is, uh, you know in Marshall, he you know, 548 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: he comes in every day and like I said, he 549 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: does what he's supposed to do. You know, he's not 550 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: a ra Ray guy. He just goes to work and 551 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: does what we're supposed to do. And when he does speak, 552 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: I mean it speaks volumes. So I mean I think 553 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing because he's he's a 554 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: quiet guy. He only speaks up when he has to, 555 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: when he really needs to um. And then when he 556 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: speaks up on game day, it's I mean, it's it's 557 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: just the ultimate ultimate hype man. I mean, you know, 558 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: I mean, and he doesn't say much. It's like not 559 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: much needs to be said. You know, go out there 560 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: and do your job, come to work and do what 561 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. So I mean I think that's 562 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: I think that's huge. Ray Lewis and Marshall Yanda alternate 563 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: height mane I like yonda yeah. I mean he was 564 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: all time classic, right. I didn't get the experience right, 565 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: so I can't speak to that aspect. So, but I 566 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: mean Marshall, he's he's got he keeps it short. Keeps sweet, 567 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: you know, you know, it says what needs to say 568 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: and let's get to work. So love I love this. Yeah, 569 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: button on there say that. Like when I heard that, 570 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, yeah the first time I 571 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: saw because, like I said, you just it's not something 572 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: that he has done over the course of his career, 573 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: and so when he steps into that role, he recognizes 574 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: the importance of it and it's been it's been pretty cool. See. 575 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: We want to talk a little bit about you off 576 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: the field as well, and the work that you're doing 577 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: in the community that Bradley Bosman Foundation.

And Nicky kind of had a similar story. Um. 605 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: So you know, one day we got asked to come 606 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: to a school and talk.

You know. We after after that, 612 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: we carried on to hit twenty six schools in the 613 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: month of April, right before the draft, uh in central Alabama. UH. 614 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: And it was one of the most eye opening, eye 615 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: opening and gratifying things I've ever done in my entire life. 616 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: I mean, when you have kids opening up with all 617 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: their peers around them, saying that, you know, this is 618 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: what I suffer from. You know, I've thought about killing myself. 619 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: I've thought about this. I thought about that. I've tried 620 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: to kill myself like it. It will bring you to tears, 621 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: like I mean, and these these kids are like eleven, 622 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: twelve years old, you know, they're they're not these aren't 623 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: grown adults. You know, these are little kids. And uh, 624 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, I feel like we don't really understand, um, 625 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: how how powerful people's words are, especially these kids. I mean, 626 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, when I was growing even when I was 627 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: growing up, you know, we didn't have we didn't have face, 628 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: but we didn't have you know, all the social media stuff. 629 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: And the kids, some of them, you know, they go 630 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: to school, they get bullied, and then when they come 631 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: home they still get bullied because and it's just a 632 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: twenty four cycle period. For me, it was I got 633 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: bullied during during the day, and then when I came 634 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: home and cut off, I was in my say space. 635 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: But now there is no safe space because everybody is 636 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: accessible from anywhere, you know, whether it's video games or 637 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: Facebook or Snapchat or whatever you wanted to be. UM. 638 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: So I just I feel like we don't really understand 639 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: quite the as adults as the importance to teaching our kids, 640 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: you know, how to respect others and how to make 641 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: sure you know the words that come into your mouth 642 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: are very powerful, um, because a lot of these kids 643 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: stuff from that.

That is really cool. 660 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: I want to get back to the RV after this, 661 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: but I do want to ask a follow up, but 662 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: do you do you mostly talk to kids about how 663 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: to handle bulling and how to you know, deflect that 664 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: and stand up to that. Or is it more that 665 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: you go into these schools and you talk about to 666 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: the bullies and saying, you know, you're really hurting people here. 667 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: You have no idea how much your words, you know, 668 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: can impact somebody. I think it's I think it's kind 669 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: of there's there's really three people in the situation as 670 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: the bully, the kids that get bullied, and the kids 671 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: that are kind of in between that kind of staying 672 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: that grayer that don't get bullied exactly and are not 673 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: the bully. So you know. For one, the first thing 674 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: we address is like, know who you are, I know 675 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: what you're about, Know that you know, you're smart, you're kind, 676 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: you're beautiful, you're whatever you think you are. And to 677 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: find a passion that you love. For me was football, 678 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: for Nikki was basketball, and we took those and and 679 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: let that just just drive those forces. Um. And then 680 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: for the bullies is to realize what your words say 681 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: and you know, and how it affects other people and 682 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: how many how many kids are affected by this, to 683 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: just say that, you know, your words are very powerful. Um. 684 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: And then for the middle person is you know, step 685 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: in say something you know. You don't have to you 686 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: don't have to be a you don't have to go 687 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: and beat the kid up. You just step in and say, hey, 688 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: that's not cool, right, you know, I think what's the 689 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: Nikki knows the stat but it's like if someone steps 690 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: in intervenes on someone getting bullied, nine it's seventy nine 691 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: percent of the time the bullying stops within five seconds. 692 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: Once someone just stopped steps and say hey, that's not cool, 693 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: Hey that's that's not nice. You don't need to say that, 694 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: it stops. And so that that's what we're really preaching 695 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: to the to those middle the middle kids. This is 696 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: just to step in and say that that's not coold, 697 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: not joining in the laughter and and think it's funny. 698 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: That's that's our biggest our big three keys in that. 699 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: So that's so.
