Speaker 1: All right, man, at you go ahead, Welcome back to

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: the Richard Sherman Podcast. It's your boy. Well, I got

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: a chance to go to Seahawks training camp this week,

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: and boy, they look good offensively. Gino huh. That boy

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: is trying to stack another great year. On top of that,

11
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: I expect him to get another MVP vote this year

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: with that receiving core he got Jackson Smith and Jigbite,

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett gonna give people fits. That

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: offensive line looks very good. Those two rookie tackles from

15
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: last year, second year now look really good defensively in

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: the middle, Bobby Wagoner, that's all you got to say.

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: You know your defense gonna be all right. You got

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: b Wags in the middle. In the back end, Julian

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Love and Quandre gonna be one of the most formidable

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: safety tandems in the league. Both very smart, playmaking sound tacklers.

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: The scheme looks good. Uh, you know Nuosu, Jaron Reid's back.

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: They have some dynamic playmakers on that D line. They're

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to get Jamal in the positions

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: to do the things he does well, which is blitzing.

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna be disruptive. Uh. Tarik wooland got you know,

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: he was getting some run this week coming back from

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: the injury. So he looks still looks good, looks very

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: fast and tall, you know, all the things that make

30
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: him great. He still has.

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: Witherspoon was battling a little bit of an injury, but

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: he'll be back out there soon. I think this team

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: is wanting to watch them them in the Niners for

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: the NFC West. I think that's gonna be a great battle.

36
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna come down to the last game. That's why

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: the league does it that way. Oh wait, I can't wait.

38
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: And while I was there, he took a trip down

39
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: memory lane. I got to catch up with my girl

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: Ali from the volume. She asked me some questions, and

41
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, I gave my best answers. You know how

42
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: I do got to explain some of the you know

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: this one time I had a wardrobe malfunction in the game,

44
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: lost his shoe. We talked about one of the most

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: clutch players in Seahawks history, Jermaine Curse, got to talk

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: about him, got to see Uncle Lee, my boy, got

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: to talk about you know, more interceptions. Yes, you know,

48
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: it's all about interceptions. So and this one time I

49
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: didn't intercept it. I just tipped the ball away. But

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, that one kind of speaks for itself. I

51
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: guess Malcolm intercepted that one. But it's a lot of

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: fun being back in the facility around all the old

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: teammates the new team, talking about Bobby getting a Ring

54
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: of Honor spot while he's still playing, which is totally

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: that totally can happen. I mean, it'd be cool do it.

56
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: Then I got a chance to catch up with the

57
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: rook JSN and just ask him how he feels in

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: a new environment. He's in the NFL now he's come

59
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: from the Ohio State University. Brian heartline receiver, you is

60
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: what people are calling it. But then to LSU boys

61
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: got something to say about it right now, Jamar Chase

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: and Odell and and Justin Jefferson. I mean it's hard

63
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: to argue that they're two of the top receivers in

64
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: the game right now. But a lot of people coming

65
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: out of Ohio state too. But he's great. I look

66
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: forward to seeing him on the field a lot more.

67
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna be an incredible talent this year, an incredible addition.

68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: Check it out. All right, we're over here at the facility.

69
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: Iconic photo right shotgun.

70
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: For Kaprin takes a snap, looks fires near side, going

71
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: for the end zone.

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: Boat coming that night.

73
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: Is it picked up?

74
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: Is it picked off?

75
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: It is Richard Sherman, Tipson Malcolm Smith picks it off

76
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: in the end zone.

77
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: We are going to New Jersey. Holy smoke, good day.

78
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: That's nothing again.

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. I wanted

80
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: to be remembered just like this. I one handed intercepted

81
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: this ball and it was the end of the game.

82
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: You see, you just grip it one hand, kind of

83
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: like O'Dell did. That's that's my story and I'm sticking

84
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: to it. I wish when I saw somebody FU captured

85
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: this picture, I was like, man, I wish it happened

86
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: like that where I just gripped it and came down

87
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: for the game. NFC Championship sentis to a man. That

88
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: would have been crazy. But this was my first targeted

89
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: game in the NFC Championship, and uh I batted away,

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: I got a ppu. A friend of mine caught the

91
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: ball and the game engine. That's the way I remember it.

92
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: That's the story.

93
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: You're sticking to my story.

94
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm sticking to it. Then and then then one of

95
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: my friends came and interviewed me after the game and

96
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: we talked about the moment Russell takes a snap, he's

97
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: gonna throw down the middle. He's got a.

98
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: Man, the.

99
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: Game is over. Got Seahawks har Going back to the

100
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Jermaine Curse, the most clutch player in Seahawks history,

101
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't never gets enough credit every Super Bowl. So

102
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: we went to he scored the go ahead touchdown, the

103
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: one against San Francisco, he scored the go ahead touchdown.

104
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,559
Speaker 1: He scored the game winning touchdown. Here in the Super

105
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: Bowl that we lost, he almost scored the game winning touchdown,

106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: and that at the end. Just a clutch player. But

107
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: in this game, it was just crazy. We were down

108
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: what sixteen to three at the halftime, so something silly,

109
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: and with two minutes ago, I think we were down

110
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: nineteen to seven, and most of the people had left,

111
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: at least Seahawks fans, you know, except the die hards,

112
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: and I'm sure everybody will remember themselves staying until the end,

113
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: but the stadium was empty. They had even started to

114
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: build the podium in the packers locker room. Because it's

115
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: two minutes ago, you're down twelve points, like the game's over,

116
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: and you know the chaos that ensued. But clutch, curse baby,

117
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: big time player, Houston Texans with a third down, gonna

118
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: throw boot black intercept it. It's Richard Sherman at.

119
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: The forty five to the twenty to ten touchdown.

120
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: Richard Sherman, could you take us behind this photo?

121
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: What's something that people don't know about it? Well, you

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: see how clean my off it. Usually I don't care

123
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: too much about I'm pretty basic when it comes to swag.

124
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: But this week I had bought these shoes. I bought

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: them in the summer because we were wearing wolf grade

126
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: uniforms and they matched so perfectly. And the league had

127
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: a policy that you're you could only wear shoes that

128
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: were team colors are black, so they had to be

129
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: blue or green or black, and I took these because

130
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: they matched our uniform, but usually to sneak by it,

131
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: and I had pretty much snuck by it most of

132
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: the game. And then I freaking have this interception and

133
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: a crucial moment, and they show it on ESPN again

134
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: and again and again and again, and they sent me

135
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: a letter saying, you're wearing the wrong foot where ten

136
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: thousand dollars fine? And I was like, oh, such a

137
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: cool moment, and y'all stealing it from me. It was

138
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: a great play. It didn't affect anything. But yeah, that's crazy,

139
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: you know, uniform violation technically, But look how good it looked?

140
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: Like good night matches.

141
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: Shot gun snap throws, a line drive, passed cart at

142
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: the ten down to the five, diving in. It's Calvin

143
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: Johnson with a touchdown. Oh wait a minute, he was

144
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: handy fumbled out of the end zone. Do you know

145
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: what Cam Chansbord punched the ball in.

146
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: You have to go on, all right, take us behind

147
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: this photo.

148
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: So Peat's philosophy, especially on defense, if you give us

149
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: an inch, give us an inch, and we'll protect it.

150
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: So even if we're backed up all the way to

151
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: the gold line, if you give us an inch, we'll

152
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: protect it. And this is This is Cam's give you

153
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: an inch moment. I think Cam had one, I had one,

154
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Earl had one, and it was Megatron's going in to

155
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: score right here. This is the end of the game.

156
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: This touchdown would have won them the game, and they're

157
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: at the one yard line. He literally punches the ball

158
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: into the end zone. And biggest play of the game.

159
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: But the craziest controversy didn't happen until after when kJ

160
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: tapped it out. And now everybody's a rules expert and like, you.

161
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: Can't do that.

162
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: The rules specifically states you can't brat it forward. But

163
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: that that was a crazy place and it was a

164
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: really cool play and just that epitome of fight to.

165
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: The end, capital throwing and it's intercepted by Richard Sherman.

166
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: So this play, this was Thanksgiving. First off, they mean

167
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: even to play on Thanksgiving, you already got a little

168
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: bit of attitudes supposed to be at home, which kids,

169
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, getting fat watching football, not playing it. But say,

170
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: if they're gonna make us play, you might wanna make

171
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: a few big plays. I had two interceptions this game.

172
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: I think we won nineteen to three, and so you know,

173
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: I ended up going to San Francisco. After this, you know,

174
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: everybody was really upset about the moment where I ate

175
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: the turkey on the field. But in the moment, you're

176
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: not really thinking about eating turkey on their logo. But

177
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: the crew put the put the turkey on the logo.

178
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: They brought it out. I didn't tell, you know, I

179
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: didn't know we were gonna win the game by what

180
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: we wanted to buy and I get Player of the Game.

181
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: And I always told them, if you didn't want me

182
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: to do that, your team could have won, and then

183
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: you would have been sitting there, your players eating turkey

184
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: on the middle of the field. It would looked like

185
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: a celebration, like a parade. But you can't let the

186
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: villain get there because then it goes really bad. And

187
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: they let the villain.

188
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: Out of the shotgun for tre Paul, it's head.

189
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: That's a cut down.

190
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 3: The pickup by the saoffs four timeline Malcolm fifth believed

191
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: the boof Defense.

192
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: Thank doing again. Holy catfish. So this picture is iconic because, well,

193
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: it's the Super Bowl and they're hitting Peyton. I think

194
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,599
Speaker 1: this is the one he threw. Malcolm intercepted it and

195
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: took it for a pick six, but that's not what's

196
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: important about this. Cliff April and Chris Clements, you see

197
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: all the pressure around him there in his pocket. But

198
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: the Big Three. When people don't understand there was a

199
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: big three here, it's Cliff April, Mike Bennett and Tony McDaniel,

200
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: and they will make sure you know this. We didn't

201
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: win a dang thing until they got here, and we

202
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: didn't win a dang thing after they left. The Big Three.

203
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: We didn't win none. Without thank you to Sony for

204
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: giving me a sneak preview of the Grand Tarisma movie.

205
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: You are in this race, get out the fight. My goodness,

206
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: it's everything up would want. Who would say, hmm, I

207
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: think I can do that. Man, I'm a video game player.

208
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm a Madden player. I could coach Madden and get

209
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: to actually do it. This is Grand Turismo. These players,

210
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: they knew to track better than a lot of the

211
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: twenty five year old events. They knew the cars better

212
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: because that's all they've done. They've set there on video games,

213
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: studied the track over and over. And I think some people,

214
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, when you're talented, you just kind of play

215
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: it by ear. But Yan was over there getting ready

216
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: for his races, listening to his Kenny G and his

217
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: in Ya. I usually listen to Drake and low Wayne

218
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: and some Tupac, you know, a little different. But it

219
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: was a cool experience just to see the ups and down.

220
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's not sitting in your video game. You

221
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: actually have to condition and work your body, work your muscles.

222
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: You're always rooting for the underdogs, so you're rooting for

223
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: him the whole time. And it was an experience. You guys,

224
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: go check out the movie Grand Turismo, based on a

225
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: true story, is exclusively in movie theaters now rated PG thirteen.

226
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I might have to go see it again. All right,

Speaker 1: gonna give you to Grint in person, but he's talking

238

362
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: that's all you want, you know, your quarterback to do

363
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 4: is believe in you. And yeah, and I appreciate him

369
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,600

370
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 4: every ball is opportunity for me, and just be a

371
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 4: reliable target. You know, when Gino looks my way, he

372
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 4: knows that I'm gonna make a play. And like I said,

373
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,120

374
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 4: this team go far. Don't really have a lot of

375
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,640

376
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 4: win the super Bowl because we know that, you know

377
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 4: we have the team to do.
