Speaker 3: Mike, first of all, congratulations and secondly, what does this

22
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: mean to you, especially to join with the class. I

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: think you're the eighth member of the three time Super

24
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: Bowl crew to get in. What does that mean to

25
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 3: you to be a part of that group and to

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: be a part of the Hall of Fame?

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: Now, well, I don't you know, you don't really know.

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: I guess you kind of think. Man, it's it's obviously

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: special being a part of the group that you know,

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: started in two thousand and one with the number of

31
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: new players on that roster and kind of grown and

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: built something, you know that we all could be proud of,

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: that we all could could fight for and want to

34
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: be part of. You know, it's obviously figured we're going

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: to have to stand in line for a few years

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: the great players that were there and going up against

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: murderers row. I guess, but you know, I think it's just,

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: you know, just something I don't think I ever thought

39
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: of when I went there. You know, I can remember

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: visiting there in two thousand and one, and I would have

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: never dreamt that something like this was gonna what happen?

42
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: Next question Mike Greese Fallow by Chris Ryan.

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 4: Mike, how you doing good, buddy? How are you doing great?

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 5: I was gonna pass my question to Teresa to make

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 5: you feel more comfortable because I see that she always

46
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 5: gets like the first question.

47
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 4: She always does. I love that.

48
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 5: Take you back to two thousand and one. Think about

49
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 5: where you were at that moment, you know, with Jen

50
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 5: and I think Tyler and Carson.

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 4: Right were Nate Carter wasn't even born.

52
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 5: Carter, Yeah, you come here from Pittsburgh.

53
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: Like, what do you remember about that? I think you

54
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: settl where'd you said it? Like? Easton? Yeah?

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: Or we made we made home over there Easton Norton.

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: And you know, it was just a unique transition. There

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: was one where the Steelers and I always laughed about

58
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: it with co Coward and saying, you know, hey, we

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: can offer you the same amount of money, but what

60
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: we can't offer you is the opportunity. And the opportunity was,

61
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: you know, to go and earn earn a starting position,

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: you know, which something I didn't have in Pittsburgh or

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: something I wasn't able to earn in Pittsburgh.

64
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 4: And then we kind of grew as a family, you.

65
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: Know, we grew and Carter was born, you know, November twentieth,

66
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: right before the Super Bowl, so he was a baby

67
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: down in New Orleans and Tyler was little, and so

68
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: I kind of all took off from there and was

69
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: able to spend a lot of time up there and

70
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: meet a lot of great friends and people.

71
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Our next question Chris Ryan, followed by Jim McBrien and

72
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: Mike congrats.

73
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 6: First off, and the second kind of building upon that,

74
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: how did you go about establishing yourself and getting that opportunity?

75
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 6: And also you also create an identity for yourself as

76
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 6: a leader within a group that had a lot of

77
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 6: really good leaders. So those two things, how did you

78
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 6: go about creating that?

79
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the first thing was being there

80
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: and knowing what to do. That was something that was

81
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: important for me going in and learning the defense. You know,

82
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: we laughed with Rob Ryan yesterday over text, but you

83
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: know that there was you know, Ted Johnson was in

84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: there obviously, and and Teddy and Willie and Roman Pfeiffer

85
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: was a part of that group that signed in two

86
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: thousand and one. But really Ted and Teddy and Willie

87
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: were the players that that taught me, you know what

88
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: it would like, and I wanted it to impress them

89
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: by how much I knew and what I was able

90
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: to do for you on the field. And I was

91
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: trying to earn their respect by obviously playing well, and

92
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: and being able to communicate the defense and talk through

93
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: things and then we laugh. With Rob Ryan yesterday, I said,

94
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: if you have one of the greatest lines I've ever

95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: heard from a coach, And he would used to say, well,

96
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: if the head coach asked, we covered it, and we

97
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: all would laugh and run out of there. And he,

98
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: referring to Bill Ever, asked like, hey, what are these

99
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 2: guys doing. Rob would be like, well, we covered it,

100
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: and me and Teddy and ted and Willie would all laugh.

101
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 4: So that's what I remember, you know, I.

102
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: Was going into that room in you know, old Foxboro Stadium,

103
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: meeting with those guys and really in the spring, just

104
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: trying to earn their respect.

105
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 6: I want to ask you about the twentieth anniversary of

106
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 6: the two thousand and three team as well this season

107
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 6: and what stands out to you about that group And

108
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 6: if you had to pick one of those three championship

109
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 6: teams to play in a must win game, which team

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 6: would you pick?

111
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think that the team got more

112
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: talented as the years went on, you know, whether it

113
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: be the two thousand and four was probably better than three,

114
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 2: and three was probably more talented than one. But you know,

115
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: I would imagine that you picked the twenty and fourteen,

116
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: But the one that I think everybody's going to embrace

117
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: is going to be the two thousand and one. You know,

118
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: we're five and five and Thanksgiving and we win nine

119
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: games in a row after Thanksgiving. That to me, you know,

120
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: is something that I'll always remember, us coming together, us

121
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: figuring it out, everything that you know, all the new

122
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: new pieces, new players, Tom coming in at quarterback, and

123
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: just the way that we were able to find ways

124
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: to win football games and especially down the stretch, and

125
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: how we played after Thanksgiving.

126
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 4: Thanks gut, Thank you.

127
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: Next question Jim McBride, follow by Tyler Bronsky.

128
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 7: Hey, Mike, thinking about a conversation we had with Coach

129
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 7: Belichick back in twenty eighteen. He was talking about how

130
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 7: you guys always had some friendly banter during practice, you know,

131
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 7: busting each other's jobs. I'm wondering, when was it it

132
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 7: first broached to you to play tight end in the

133
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 7: red zone area? Was it his idea? Was it your idea?

134
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 7: Was it someone else's idea?

135
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: No, I mean I think probably Charlie Weiss and Drew.

136
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: I used to warm up with Drew, just go out

137
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: before the game a couple hours before goof around run routes.

138
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't want to sit at my locker

139
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: or got there early, so it was wanted to be

140
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: wanted to do something, and I said, well, let's go

141
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: out and catch balls for the quarterback. And you know,

142
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: so I would mess around with Drew and then I

143
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: think he might have said hey to Charlie like this

144
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: guy could probably actually do something. And it never material materialized,

145
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: and then I think maybe the next year might have said, hey,

146
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: give us a try and learn the plays. The first

147
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: touchdown was in San Diego and we lost, so I

148
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: don't think it got much. You know, nobody really talked

149
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: about it, and then it kind of just materialized from there.

150
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: But probably Charlie Weiss and Drew probably came up with

151
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 4: the idea.

152
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 7: Do you remember what Bill's reaction was when when it

153
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 7: was presented to him.

154
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: I wasn't in there when it was presented. I'm sure

155
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: it was something along the lines of you know what

156
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: I mean, like, I don't know. I wasn't in there

157
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: when they talked about it. You know, I think that

158
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,360

170
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: you appreciate coming from from a teammate or somebody that

171
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:54,640

Speaker 2: Great guys to play against, you know, play next to

174
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: excuse me, you know Bobby Hamilton or Richard Seymour or

175
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: Ty Warren or Jarvis Green. I mean those were guys

176
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: that I would line up a few feet from for

177
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: the entire season or multiple seasons, and that was always

178
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: something that was really cool. And then obviously the relationship

179
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 2: in the linebacker room.

180
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike, congrats again. Next question, Andrew Callaghan fall about

181
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Ian Steele.

182
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 8: Hey, Michael, just echo everyone else, Congratulations on the honor.

183
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 8: This is gonna fall to us once we finished this call.

184
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 8: But as far as capturing, you know, your eight years here,

185
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 8: the super Bowls, all the memories, the moments, how would

186
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 8: you best define your time here in New England.

187
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: That's the fine I think obviously, very rewarding. Certainly set

188
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: me up, I think for for a great future. You know,

189
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: whether that was to be able to transition to Kansas

190
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 2: City and help lead or ultimately become a coach, but

191
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: it was.

192
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 4: You know, we love coming to work.

193
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: With the with the players, you know, and I think

194
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: that that's that's something that I'll always miss, is what.

195
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: We had in the locker room.

196
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: H and it would still always want to try to

197
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: recreate what we did there, you know, where the players,

198
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: we're the ones that we're trying to hold each other accountable,

199
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: and none of them a negative one, but just you know,

200
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: in a positive way, and how you push guys and

201
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: how you how you work and how you want to prepare.

202
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 8: So it sounds like those memories of those teams are

203
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 8: something that you kind of revisit frequently when you're building

204
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 8: your own team.

205
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: Obviously, I certainly try to draw from from those things

206
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: when I'm looking back at it and using that I mean,

207
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: we all do that and try to use our own

208
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: personal experience, our life experiences. But I mean, we're just

209
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: thinking back and being on a visit with Larry Izzo

210
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: and Anthony Pleasant and one guy's coming from Cleveland and

211
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: one guy's coming from Miami. I'm coming from Pittsburgh. It's like,

212
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: you know, that was just three guys. It was twenty

213
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 2: six new players on that team, or however many there were.

214
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: And that's what I think back to and just the

215
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: friendships that we've all made and the connections that we've

216
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: all made.

217
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 4: Through those teams. Thanks Mike.

218
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: Next christian Ian Steel Fall by Mike Greese, and my

219
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: congratulations again.

220
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 9: Robert Craft in the video that they sent out said

221
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 9: that you were the heart and soul of those teams.

222
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 9: One is that something that you had heard before? And

223
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 9: two what is his message mean to you and your

224
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 9: communication over the years.

225
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: Well, I tried to prove that I belong there. I

226
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: think every day every week. I wanted to try to

227
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: be there h and be productive and know as many

228
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: positions as I could, and play special teams and embrace

229
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: playing special teams and uh, you know, learning from guys

230
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: like Bill and learning the history of football from Ernie Addams,

231
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: learning special teams from Brad Seely, you know, watching Dante

232
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: Scarnaki a coach.

233
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 4: And the passion and the you know what he put

234
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: into it.

235
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: And obviously the defensive coaches that we had, and deanps Romeo, Cornell,

236
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: Eric Mangini, you know, Rob Ryan Pepper Johnson, all these

237
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: guys that that we got to be associated with.

238
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 4: It was it was fun coming to work.

239
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: Obviously winning makes it fun, but you know it was

240
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: something that you know, we're all better off for for

241
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: having spent time there.

242
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: Looks like two final questions are Mike Reese and Steve Sanchez.

243
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 5: Mike, I'm curious if there's anyone you've heard from since

244
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 5: this was announced, you know that stands out. I imagine

245
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 5: there were quite a few that reached out, but anyone

246
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 5: that that sort.

247
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: Of should you know what I mean, just the normal

248
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 2: group and you know, some some coaches. You know, it's

249
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: always nice and you know, listen, there's amazing people that

250
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: that allowed us to be successful. And you know, when

251
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: the team has success, the individuals get rewarded, and uh,

252
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: I'm appreciative of that and haven't been a part of that.

253
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: And it's just great to see everybody having success after

254
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: football and and doing some some really cool positive things

255
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: in every you know, avenue that we've pursued, whether that's

256
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: TV or coaching or business, and uh, you know that's

257
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: what I think. I'm probably the most just proud of

258
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: that everybody has gone on to to quite a lot

259
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: of success.

260
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 5: And then the just one last thing is that everyone

261
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 5: would say you weren't afraid to give it back to

262
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 5: build And there's stories about like rocking chairs being put

263
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 5: in the meeting room, give me your best.

264
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 4: Like I don't say give.

265
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: Me, I can't give you my best, but I there

266
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: was a there was a healthy respect there. There still

267
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: is or competitors, but uh, you know, I think that's

268
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: just when when you spend a lot of time around

269
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: people and you have respect, you know what you can say,

270
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: you know which can't say. Bill had his way of

271
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: motivating us, usually through old giants tape of those great linebackers,

272
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: and so I tried to, you know, win appropriate tried to,

273
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: uh to give it back to him as well.

274
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: And final question Steve Sanchez.

275
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 4: Ingrads, Mike, I have to ask you.

276
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 5: You were recipient of many of Tom Brady's touchdown passes.

277
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: And he ends on which is your favorite one?

278
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: Oh, probably the I mean the ones in the Super Bowl.

279
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: I think probably the one. There was a back line

280
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: one against the Jets that I don't think we've ever thrown.

281
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: It's like the third progression in the goal line, and

282
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: I was like on the back side and never thought

283
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: that I would even get the ball. And I turn

284
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: around and it's like it's it's already left his hand.

285
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, I guess he got to his third

286
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 4: progression because normally it's one two and then throw it

287
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 4: away on the goal line.

288
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: And I turned around and the ball was there, and

289
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't think I've ever caught that

290
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: end line on the goal line.

291
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 4: So those are the ones that stand out to me.

292
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: But the you know, the Super Bowl one, you know

293
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: where you just everything's a fog and blur and all

294
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: of a sudden, through a bunch of helmets and hands,

295
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: you know, Tom managed to find the football and.

296
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 4: Get it through. And what about the Philly one, Well.

297
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: You get tackled and try to you know, it looks

298
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: ridiculous until you realize it got held and tackled. But

299
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: it looks like I'm trying to catch a beach ball.

300
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 4: So I don't think that one wins the.

301
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: Aesthetics Award, but that was being able to fight through

302
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: the penalty.

303
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 4: Thank you, Mike. Thank you, Mike.

304
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,600
