Speaker 1: Tell me about the state of Florida and football in
Speaker 1: the state of Florida. Why because it was a time
Speaker 1: where the state of Flooda dominated college football dominated.
Speaker 2: I mean it's Florida State.
Speaker 1: For yes, Florida State, but that ain't we don't have
Speaker 1: that no more take for the kids to stay home.
Speaker 1: We used to have the kids staying home. That's what
Speaker 1: I was about to say. It's right now, there's so
Speaker 1: many opportunities other places. You gotta remember, like.
Speaker 3: If you went to Florida State Florida or Florida State Florida,
Speaker 3: Florida State, Miami, you didn't play as a freshman. You
Speaker 3: you were actually sitting behind yeah pro All America.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I remember at one point we had Corey Simon who
Speaker 3: wasn't a starter, but he was All American. So like
Speaker 3: and coach Bowlence used to tell us, don't get hurt.
Speaker 3: That was that was legit. Like you got to remember,
Speaker 3: like everybody at every position was either a five star,
Speaker 3: four star. So you're talking about coming in as being
Speaker 3: the man. Everybody else was the man team, So you
Speaker 3: had to wait your turn. You gotta Charlie Ward. Charlie
Speaker 3: Ward played as a junior, you know, what he did
Speaker 3: his first two years punted.
Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't even know that. No, look at Charlie,
Speaker 2: Charlie Ward. Ain't nobody know that? You heard? O? Geez man?
Speaker 1: Well, Charlie know that his first two years, I thought
Speaker 1: I knew everything.
Speaker 2: Brood Puddy do everything.
Speaker 3: But that's what I'm saying, like at that time, going
Speaker 3: to Florida State, Miami, Florida, you gotta wait your turn
Speaker 3: like it wasn't. It wasn't. I'm going in here and
Speaker 3: I'm playing as a truth. Dang no, because you got
Speaker 3: an All American in front, you got three All Americans
Speaker 3: in front of you.
Speaker 2: Did your family have any influence on where you went? Nah?
Speaker 2: It was all up to your pop.
Speaker 3: It was up to me. My dad went to Georgia Tech.
Speaker 3: I got recruited at Georgia Tech to play quarterback. My
Speaker 3: mom Miami and Hurricane fan. Yeah, and she was like,
Speaker 3: you know, I would love for you to go to Miami,
Speaker 3: but it's your decision. And actually I had the the
Speaker 3: best opportunity to start at Miami early. So when I
Speaker 3: was at when I when I was recruited at Miami,
Speaker 3: they told me if if I committed, they wouldn't recruit
Speaker 3: any more quarterbacks, and then they had as Randy Shannon. Nah,
Speaker 3: it was uh, what's the guy named? He ended up
Speaker 3: coaching at Cleveland too.
Speaker 2: Yeah. You can't even get over this. Keep you saying
Speaker 2: recruiting is a quarterback to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But so the quarterback at Miami at the time,
Speaker 3: he was playing baseball and he wasn't He wasn't there
Speaker 3: in the spring. He would go play professional baseball.
Speaker 1: So they wanted me to graduate early in January and
Speaker 1: come compete for the starting job in the spring because
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback wasn't there. Kenny Kelly. Kenny Kelly, Okay
Speaker 1: went to Tampa Cathley. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he played professional baseball. So they was like, you,
Speaker 3: you have a real opportunity to come and compete right away.
Speaker 3: You got all your credits, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: The only thing you got to do just you know,
Speaker 3: finish up what you gotta do. Come in January and
Speaker 3: I thought about it. But for me, Miami was too
Speaker 3: close to home. Like I wanted to get away from
Speaker 3: home a little bit, you know what I'm saying, not
Speaker 3: too far, but get away from home.
Speaker 2: And I get it.
Speaker 3: Miami was right up the road. So that's that's probably
Speaker 3: the reason why I didn't go to Miami.
Speaker 2: So you went to three visits or more. I stayed
Speaker 2: Florida Miami.
Speaker 3: So I was I actually started getting recruited by Ohio.
Speaker 3: Ohio State was the first first school to recruit me.
Speaker 3: My after my freshman year, going into my sophomore year,
Speaker 3: I started getting letters from Ohio State, and then I
Speaker 3: got started getting recruited by Notre Dame, and then the Florida,
Speaker 3: Florida school started coming after that, Florida, Florida State, Miami obviously,
Speaker 3: and then all the other schools after that. But Ohio
Speaker 3: State was the first first school to recruit. So let's
Speaker 3: talk about your visit to Florida. What Mike want to
Speaker 3: bring that up? So you know, me and me and
Speaker 3: Kuan go way back.
Speaker 1: We go way back. We actually work out at the
Speaker 1: same gym. Now you welcome to join us.
Speaker 2: If you.
Speaker 1: Put them beers down and show up, we get it work.
Speaker 1: So when you took your visit to Florida, just go
Speaker 1: ahead and run.
Speaker 2: Through the story.
Speaker 1: Mike might want to tell people that I'm the reason
Speaker 1: why you ain't coming to Florida. I don't believe I'm
Speaker 1: the reason why you ain't coming back.
Speaker 3: But the reason I didn't come to Florida is because Spurrier,
Speaker 3: Like I just didn't trust Spurrier. And I remember on
Speaker 3: my visit being in his office and like, dude, could
Speaker 3: not look me in my eye. And the whole time
Speaker 3: I'm in his office, he has a putter he try
Speaker 3: to in his office, he's putting, and as he's putting,
Speaker 3: he was like, they say I wouldn't play a black quarterback. Oh, Steve, damn,
Speaker 3: they don't know I had a black quarterback at Dude.
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, you know what. Steve never looked at it,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, off the hook man. Listen.
Speaker 1: They go to a party football players. I'm at a
Speaker 1: party with basketball players. Now. One of my teammates got
Speaker 1: rest is soul Major Parker. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: His girlfriend at the time was at the football party.
Speaker 1: She's getting He's at the football party. Obviously he's being
Speaker 1: recruited by the football players.
Speaker 2: She said. In one of the football dudes, Chi, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was h. D Jack.
Speaker 3: Sara Jackson played in the league to Djack played at Seattle.
Speaker 3: I actually played against d Jack and so they both
Speaker 3: went to Temp Tampa Catholic D Jack and Kenny Kelly.
Speaker 3: I played against them my sophomore year in high school.
Speaker 3: They were seniors, and I think Kenny Kelly had no
Speaker 3: d Jack had just broke the national record like for receiving,
Speaker 3: and then Kenny Kelly was like the top quarterback.
Speaker 2: I know. DJ was nice. He brought the record.
Speaker 3: So I played against them my my my sophomore year.
Speaker 3: So we ended up beating them in the playoffs and
Speaker 3: knocking them out.
Speaker 2: So when I go to.
Speaker 3: Florida on my visit, yeah, so they were Yeah, he
Speaker 3: was one of the hosts. So we're we're at D
Speaker 3: Jack's crib. So you know how like before you go out,
Speaker 3: like dudes playing video games and you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: everybody over to the crib chilling. So Djack sitting down,
Speaker 3: he's playing the game, and he gets up to use
Speaker 3: the bathroom and then this girl like sits in his seat.
Speaker 3: So when he comes back, he uh, he was like, yo,
Speaker 3: let me get my seat. So she was like nah,
Speaker 3: Like he was like what like and like you my
Speaker 3: crib like, so they started going back and forth. Djack
Speaker 3: ended up smacking the chick. So we didn't know that
Speaker 3: it was Major's girl who he smacked, so I guess
Speaker 3: she ended up leaving her and the homegirls they ended
Speaker 3: up leaving, and.
Speaker 2: A little bit later we go out.
Speaker 3: So we go to this club and like the basketball
Speaker 3: team's already acted at the spot and yeah, so then
Speaker 3: he come in and we not even ten minutes in
Speaker 3: the club, football team and the basketball team started fighting,
Speaker 3: and we were cruising like, man, what's going on?
Speaker 4: Like the.
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 3: So they cleared the whole club out. We outside just chilling,
Speaker 3: like man, what just happened?
Speaker 1: Like so, man, listen, she calls Major crying hysterically, you know,
Speaker 1: automatically what your woman called hysterically? You you you already
Speaker 1: own I gotta protect my woman mode. So he already
Speaker 1: protected women mode. So she give him the story. So
Speaker 1: we get to the club that night and I already
Speaker 1: know what time it is. It's one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: of them we ain't got, but twelve of us we got.
Speaker 1: We got to be efficient. So they approached us and
Speaker 1: they going back and forth. So I'm standing there with
Speaker 1: Major and you know, d Jack come up and he
Speaker 1: got a ken yalla kN y'alla walker, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, shout out, nyall, ain't no more beef.
Speaker 2: That's over with kids kids.
Speaker 1: So you feel like with k Yalla man, so they
Speaker 1: going back and forth, major going back and forth with
Speaker 1: with with d Jack and then kN Yalla talking, and
Speaker 1: then me and kN y'alla start having some words. But
Speaker 1: immediately I'm looking at how many they got, and I'm
Speaker 1: looking at how many we got, and I'm saying the
Speaker 1: mathfa math, And now I ain't going to squirt for much,
Speaker 1: but I know how to count, so I say, I say,
Speaker 1: we got to make the move if it's gonna happen,
Speaker 1: because if they jump on us first, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: our asses whooped. So yeah, I was the first one
Speaker 1: to throw the punch and and it went on from
Speaker 1: there and I ain't go to jail and a couple
Speaker 1: of people did. It's on them, But yeah, I threw
Speaker 1: the first punch. I admit that I did.
Speaker 2: Throw the first. Didn't call the muscle in who is
Speaker 2: the muscle talking about who killer was? They killer was
Speaker 2: at the gym? Shoot shoot.
Speaker 1: Listen, it's funny that it's funny that you said that
Speaker 1: because theeve Spurrier called Billy Donovas. I don't care what
Speaker 1: you do, but keep them away from all my guys.
Speaker 1: I started to say, Spray, I whooped your ass too.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we got it out of it.
Speaker 4: By the way, Spray, let you off the hook because
Speaker 4: I'd love to see him in the Gator uniform.
Speaker 2: I would have loved to see him I get a
Speaker 2: uniform too. I listen, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that was gonna you know, well,
Speaker 1: the no the man was putting he ain't.
Speaker 2: Never recruited a black quarterback, That's what. Yeah, ain't. Nobody
Speaker 2: asked you to go down that glory road home asked you.
Speaker 2: That's Steve, that's where you blew it at.
Speaker 1: Listen, anytime you invite a black person over and say,
Speaker 1: they say, I don't invite black people over, but that
Speaker 1: means that lets us know right there you ain't used
Speaker 1: to having black people over, Steve, like, that's where he
Speaker 1: blew it at. It had nothing to do with me
Speaker 1: at all. It was up when you said that. You
Speaker 1: never told me that when you invited me to your
Speaker 1: house in South Dakota. Yeah, you know, I had another
Speaker 1: black guy here we could go, so you ain't the
Speaker 1: only one.
Speaker 2: I would have.
Speaker 1: Never you again, that would have been the beginning and
Speaker 1: the end of me and your relationship, and I'd have
Speaker 1: never been back to South Dakota. That's crazy as hell
Speaker 1: to say something like that. That's one of those things
Speaker 1: where people don't know that's kind of rude.
Speaker 2: Tell him that this rude. That was rude last week.
Speaker 1: I had another black guy over last week, killer, So
Speaker 1: you ain't the first one. Just know, I like black
Speaker 1: people got here. You can't say that. You can't say
Speaker 1: that a good thing that happened back in like the
Speaker 1: two thousand early because if you say that right now today,
Speaker 1: your ass is cancel your asses, council.
Speaker 2: You can't say that, Yeah, man, this man so now
Speaker 2: you get.
Speaker 1: Drafted second round, that had a chip on your shoulder
Speaker 1: because I know me undrafted. I still got a chip today.
Speaker 1: I still know who got drafted. And when I didn't
Speaker 1: tell me about that, how that felt they are? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I felt like it was a I thought it was disrespectful.
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody think they're supposed to get drafted high. Now.
Speaker 2: I remember, uh.
Speaker 3: Like going to them comebine and then you have like
Speaker 3: your meetings with different teams or whatever. And I remember
Speaker 3: being in the I actually went in in a meeting
Speaker 3: with Detroit and the GM at the time. He asked me,
Speaker 3: he said, we have Charles Rogers and we have you.
Speaker 3: He said, why would why would we draft you before
Speaker 3: we drafted.
Speaker 2: Charles from Michigan State. Yeah, receiver, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I told him, I said, like, not being
Speaker 1: cocky or anything, I said, I'm just better.
Speaker 3: That's right, stand on, you know, no disrespect to him
Speaker 3: or whatever. He's a great talent, but I'm just better.
Speaker 3: So he was like, you really think that, huh? I
Speaker 3: was like, of course. Fast forward, they drafted Charles Rogers.
Speaker 3: I think we're like the number two pick, and I
Speaker 3: got drafted by Arizona with the fifty fourth pick. And
Speaker 3: here's the crazy part. So like I got drafted by Arizona,
Speaker 3: but I was actually the third pick for Arizona. What
Speaker 3: Arizona had the sixteenth and the seventeenth pick for the
Speaker 3: seventeenth and the eighteen, So they picked a receiver, Brian
Speaker 3: Johnson with the seventeenth picked out of Penn State. And
Speaker 3: they were and they picked Calvin Pace, a d N
Speaker 3: from Wake Foward. Yes, and I knew Calvin, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying because we played against each other Florida
Speaker 3: State with Ford same you know, acc or whatever. So
Speaker 3: I'm I mean, I'm coming to camp with a chip,
Speaker 3: like they really don't know, like.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we were going to training camp and obviously
Speaker 3: as a rookie you start at the bottom.
Speaker 2: But like.
Speaker 1: We had many camps and I remember going back home
Speaker 1: and I told my cousin.
Speaker 3: I was like, man, I'm gonna be starting like when
Speaker 3: we start, when we start to fall. He was like,
Speaker 3: man whatever, He was like, this is the lead. This
Speaker 3: ain't this ain't college. I was like, all right, bet.
Speaker 3: So we get to we get to preseason, and I
Speaker 3: can I remember my coach like I'm I'm going with
Speaker 3: the starters in practice, but when we get to like
Speaker 3: the game, he's not letting me play. I'm like, bro,
Speaker 3: what's going on? Like and I said something to him.
Speaker 3: I'm like, coach, it was coach Mac, coach Mackham.
Speaker 1: But you play that, you're gonna say what you got
Speaker 1: to say to I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, coach, man, like, what's going on? Like I'm running
Speaker 3: with the ones and stuff in practice, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. But like we get the preseason, like I
Speaker 3: ain't getting no burn Like, what's what's good? He was like,
Speaker 3: just be patient.
Speaker 2: I got you.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'm still it ain't registering to.
Speaker 4: Me during this hold on during this the kid the
Speaker 4: water Shoetes picked sixteen. Was he was he playing the
Speaker 4: preseason games?
Speaker 3: Yeah, BJ was playing because he was a he was
Speaker 3: a first round pick. So like, obviously you don't have
Speaker 3: every opportunity successful, you know what I'm saying, Like I
Speaker 3: was just curious, So.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was.
Speaker 3: He was Actually he was actually getting burns. So I'm like,
Speaker 3: all right, so I'm just you know, waiting it out
Speaker 3: or whatever. So you know, the only thing they really
Speaker 3: had me doing that preseason was returning punts. So I'm
Speaker 3: you know, I'm returning punts, making plays. But still I'm like, man,
Speaker 3: I ain't. I ain't really getting burns like that. So
Speaker 3: I didn't really play that much in the preseason. Come
Speaker 3: the first game we played Detroit.
Speaker 4: Guess how many we are head.
Speaker 2: Seventeen of them? So we played.
Speaker 4: Asked you.
Speaker 3: Look that we played Detroit the first game, and like
Speaker 3: he said, I had ten catches, two hundred and seventeen
Speaker 3: yards and two touchdowns. Man and the GM from Detroit.
Speaker 3: He came up to me after the game, he said,
Speaker 3: you weren't playing.
Speaker 1: I respect that. I respect that too. I respect that.
Speaker 1: I said, I told you I respect that. And then
Speaker 1: my head coach he came to me after the game.
Speaker 1: He was like, I told you, I got you. He
Speaker 1: was like, I didn't want to show everybody what we had,
Speaker 1: so I was like, okay, cool, Like now it makes sense,
Speaker 1: But at the time.
Speaker 4: I'm just like, here is a dirty little secret that
Speaker 4: insurance industry may want to keep under wraps. Insurance company's
Speaker 4: profit by holding onto your money for as long as possible,
Speaker 4: so after an accident they might do whatever they can
Speaker 4: to delay or deny your claim. This way, they can
Speaker 4: keep those profits growing. Morgan and Morgan fights hard against
Speaker 4: these corporations, a fight to make sure you get every
Speaker 4: dollar you deserve winning court. The insurance companies want juries
Speaker 4: to think that at fault driver is the one paying
Speaker 4: the verdict amount. Meanwhile, it's really the insurance companies who
Speaker 4: are covering the cost. When Morgan and Morgan takes on
Speaker 4: a case, that are almost always going after the big
Speaker 4: insurance companies and not the individuals at fault. Morgan and
Speaker 4: Morgan fights hard for their clients and these corporations know
Speaker 4: that a recent client in Pennsylvania just received twenty nine million.
Speaker 4: That's twenty nine million dollars. Insure's best offer was five
Speaker 4: hundred thousand. Another recent client in Florida received twenty million
Speaker 4: dollars last offer zero. There's a reason why Morgan and
Speaker 4: Morgan is America's largest injury firm. Hiring the wrong firm
Speaker 4: can be disastrous. Hiring the right firm could substantially increase
Speaker 4: your settlement. With Morgan and Morgan. It's easy to get started,
