48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: money with it, the presents, everything, everything that comes with it. Well,

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: let me talk about it. I got your book here.

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: It's it's called The Mask. Now behind the Mask, Well,

51
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: first of all, you are a helmet all your life.

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Now you say the mask. Is there any reference there

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: are helmet mask or you just mask me something else? Yeah,

54
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: it was. I came up with the title just thinking

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: about every day people who used to say, you know what,

56
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: I know what you look like. But when we look

57
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: at the rest of the guy eyes, when we try

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: to relate to a lot of the guys who were

59
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: playing the game, we can't see you because of the mask.

60
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: And so for me that kind of triggered something in

61
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: my mind to say, you know what, I want to

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: go behind the mask. That's the reason why I typled

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: my book behind the Mask, because everybody has a story

64
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: to be told, and regardless of whatever chosen field endeavor

65
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: that you're chasing, sir, you have a mask. And so

66
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: that's why my book is titled behind the Mask, because

67
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to go behind the mask to figure out

68
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: what makes you tick, what makes you so different? You know,

69
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: he's an interesting thing about you when I'm reading that

70
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: this is just a short portion of your life. This

71
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: is the book is more about the incredible linebackers who

72
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: have dominated there the playing fields over the year. In

73
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: your linebacker, so there was a natural relationship. And I

74
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: know your next book is gonna be running back, so

75
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: as that we may talk about that a little bit

76
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: before we leave to add the day because it's a

77
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: top three I want to bring up to your top three?

78
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Is I hope I got now that they about this

79
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: that football is something that you understood was your path

80
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: was an opportunity. How did you figure that out at

81
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: a young age. Well, it started with my parents, and

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: they introduced me to the game at the age of

83
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: seven eight years old, following my brother, and Uh for me,

84
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: I thought I didn't know at that time, and a

85
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: lot of kids to this day still don't know because

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: we put so much weight and emphasis on winning and losing.

87
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: But the lessons that I got out of the game

88
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: playing an organized sport in the structure leadership, what you

89
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: talked about earlier, Understanding commitment, Understanding that you know your

90
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: best availability is a called accountability. If you can't be accountable,

91
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: then you can't be available. I learned all of those

92
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: life lessons through the game of football, and that's why

93
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: I feel that when I watched football. You know, I've

94
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: never played the sport I call that man's band game.

95
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: You know. I would tell people here, he is the

96
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: mentality for football player. He sees somebody running at him

97
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: at full speed instead of him running a obstractor he

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: you know something, I'm gonna run at him at full

99
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: speed and we're gonna meet at a point and see

100
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: who gets pushed off at that point. That's a little

101
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: man's man to meet. It's I'll be honest with you,

102
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this. I never knew how violent

103
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: the game it was until I retired in two thousand thirteen.

104
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: I actually took time. I went back and I got

105
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: and I went back and I watched the game from

106
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: the side, and I realized, this is crazy. It's crazy

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: to see two guys. I don't care about my body.

108
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: I know I don't care about yours. But I wanted

109
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: to make a point. I wanted to make a point

110
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: to make sure that my presence was felt, and I

111
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: made sure that I left a mark that I really

112
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: wanted to punk you. I wanted to take your soul. Well,

113
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, that's important that that that we understand. We

114
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: have a little mic issue of when Mike has cut

115
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: off and we're kind of sharing the mic right now,

116
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: but I wanted to make sure that you understand that

117
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: the physicality, the whole, the whole point of what you

118
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: do as a as a person is not defined by

119
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: what you've done in football, is what you're doing after football.

120
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to bring you on the show.

121
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is that because I clearly you

122
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: are successful now in life, because you know, football was

123
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: just an avenue, it was a sport. I mean, I

124
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: mean all the way down to the trainee, the motivation,

125
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: listening to your coach, all that stuff. Man, I'm reading

126
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: this and going, wow, it was I realized at a

127
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: young age that it was it was an avenue. Like

128
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: you said, it really was a lead pad. And the

129
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: more and more I continue to play the game and

130
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: saw the bigger picture. Like I said, we put so

131
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: much weight on winning and losing while you actually play.

132
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: But I slowed down, or somebody slowed me down to

133
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: really look at the big picture of seeing how the

134
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: monster works. What exactly does that mean? What's the economics

135
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: of the game, Like, how does the economics? Why is

136
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: it that so many people were so excited to see

137
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: us play sixteen Sundays out of a year. And so

138
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: that's when I was introduced. I joined the union, and

139
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: then after joining the union, became one of the player

140
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: of representatives that carried a vote for our team, the

141
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: voice of the players. Uh. That ended up leading me

142
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: to becoming team captain thirteen out of my fifteen years,

143
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: even though I played on five different teams, and so

144
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, from that, it really showed me, Okay, understand,

145
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: this is not going to be here forever. As much

146
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: as I wanted to be. But then it showed me

147
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: how can I leverage not only my name and likeness,

148
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: but what I do in this billion dollar enterprise to

149
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: be able to have sustainable income after I leave the game.

150
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about let's go before we go pro though.

151
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: War Eagles, War Eagles. Now, got to tell you something.

152
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm from Houston, Texas, and so Texas just like Georgia

153
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: all the South. Football is king in Texas, all right,

154
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: and so so as as a as a as a

155
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: young man growing up, Arburn was a school I liked,

156
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I went to Alabama, man

Speaker 1: Or I was. I was Arbor. Now, I tell you

158
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: Arbur was the school I like, you know what I'm saying,

159
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: and so so I I don't know what it was.

160
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: It was just something about the war Eagle. So tell

164
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: experience that so many kids have been that. Now you

00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: know today with social media, they make an announcements on TV,

166
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: they make an announcemal on social media. It's just like

167
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: that boy Zion Willism. He has over two million Instagram follows.

168
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: He didn even got into the pros yet, So you

169
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: didn't live under that world. Tell us the difference. The

170
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: difference now it's crazy and you talk about blue Chip.

171
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they still consider those guys

172
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: now today coming out of high school blue chippers. If

173
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: you were considered a blue Chipper back in the nineties

174
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: to early two thousand's, that means you were the you

175
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: were that guy like you were that guy. So uh,

176
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: unbelievable experience because I had the opportunity to not only

177
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: get recruited by one of the finest institutions out there,

178
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: but being recruited by everybody across the landing Auburn, Florida State,

179
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: My top my top five teams was Florida State, Tennessee, Georgia,

180
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: um Um, Charlie, Yeah, all of that. So all of that.

181
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: So for me, it was a big honor to be

182
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: recruited like that. But I really would say this, I

183
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: think now when you look at compared to when I

184
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: came out to now and you see these high school players,

185
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: they're getting cover pages of ESPN, the magazine of every

186
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: major publication. So for me, when I look at it.

187
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: The difference is I knew I was good, but I

188
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: never wanted to kind of rest on my lord, and

189
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: that forced me to make me. It put my mind

190
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: set to I never knew how good I really was

191
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: because every morning when I woke up, I was always

192
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: chasting greatness. I wanted to do something different. I wanted

193
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: my story to be told a little different when it

194
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: was finally over. Now, your special dude, I'm gonna just

195
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: let you know that there's a certain gene in you

196
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: that makes you unique. I just I can hear in

197
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: your voice and I don't I don't want to say

198
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: nothing negative, but I feel that, uh that, uh, you

199
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: have a an emotion that that that just drives you.

200
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: That's not normal. That's why I'm saying it's not you

201
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: know people say not normal. It's not negative because I

202
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: think you're driven by something that's that's been instilled in

203
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: you as as a as a kid. Who who were

204
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: the people who mentored you? I think mine. I don't

205
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: think I actually know every day when I woke up

206
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: a something my mother, my father. I was fortunate enough

207
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: to grow up in a two parents home, and my

208
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: father worked a all the time. And my mother, she

209
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: was an educated school teacher, so you know, for me,

210
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: it was like I hear them talking. It's one thing

211
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: as a kid to hear what somebody tells you every day,

212
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: but it's another thing to see it. And I had

213
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: the opportunity, blessed to have the opportunity for my mother,

214
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: my father to show me what the grind looks like.

215
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: People talk about the grind they got here hustling. I

216
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: saw it every guy you know, And people ask me

Speaker 1: this and that? Because I'm programmed that way, like I don't.

221
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: I never rest on my lords, and I truly believe

222
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: that I hustle now as if I never made a

223
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: dollar plan. And that's I have great admiration for what

00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,440

00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,439

249
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: she wanted to name me after my father. My father

250
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: his name is Jimmy Lee Spikes. And he said no,

251
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't want him named after me. And she said

252
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: why and he said, well, my name is too old

253
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: time and I want him to have a name that

254
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 1: represents him and and it's in there now, and so

255
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: she said she didn't know. So I was like, hi, Like,

256
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: I was like, man, how did you pick my name?

257
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: He was like, I'll be honest. Switch when I waited

258
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: four days in the hospital and I was looking at

259
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: TV and I saw the Prime Minister of Japan get

260
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: up and speak on TV. And she was like, I

261
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: didn't know how to say it, but I just thought

262
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: it was so cool and it felt like royalty. And

263
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: so she said she looked up what it meant and

264
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: the name te Kyo I was named after the Prime

265
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: Minister te Kyo Mackay, and it meant great warriors. That's

266
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: how smooth, right, Jeff. So I was like, it is,

267
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: and so that's how I got my name. That's awesome, man,

268
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: that's that's a great story. I wanted to make sure

269
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: we brought that out because you know, I've been watching

270
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: you play all those years. I go, how do you

271
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: get that name? How do you get that name? And

272
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: that that's because that was always a great story that's

273
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: a that's a great passion behind it, because it was

274
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: a great thought put into it. And then you've carried

275
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: it well. And the name does make your name done.

276
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: And your father was right, Your father was right. This

277
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: name right here is you. It is how I do

278
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: believe if you had a different name, not saying you

279
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't been successful, but it gives you a little bit

280
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: more pipping your step. I believe that people look at

281
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: you different, they ask questions about your name. It allows

282
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: you to have that story, to allow you to be

283
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: able to communicate it. It's turned you into a municator.

284
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: It has, it really has. And not only does it

285
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: opens up the conversation, but to your point, you asked

286
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: me why I go around and I meet kids every day,

287
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: especially when I do autograph sign and when I come

288
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: across the name that I haven't seen you like how

289
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: like why? Like who named you? And and and what's

290
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: the why behind it? So what sparks up a lot

291
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: of conversations. I know I get there with Rashawn, so

292
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: I know if I had been Ricky, I've been different. Rashawn, Yeah, yeah,

293
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: Royal living good. So let's talk about this book man,

294
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: the Mask. Uh? First, of all, I'm a football nut,

295
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: you know. And in high school, junior high, they's called

296
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: me black high sale. And so when I see they

297
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: see Chuck ben Derrick, that's she had that name right there.

298
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: And Dick La Bolt name in here right there. That's

299
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: that's some deep that's some legendary names right there. And

300
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: then you got Bobby Belle, Kansas City chief who him

00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: and Willing in there said, both of them boys, tell

302
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: you something important. This book is from an African Americans perspective,

303
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: because see back in the day, you knew that white

304
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: players were only reserved for certain positions. You know, middle

305
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: linebacker you had to be white, center you had to

306
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: be white, and quarterback you had to be white. So

307
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: Willing there was my first, I'm gonna tell you so,

308
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: my first hero because he played that position. You know

309
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So, no of the importance of this

310
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: book when you start, when you start lining up everybody,

311
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: when you start doing what you've done, you know, and

312
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: then you go Carnelia has been at the Alabama boy,

313
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: I forgive him books for state. Harry Corson New York Giants,

314
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: come on, London, Fletcher Washington, Reds Kids, Kevin Green Carolina Path,

315
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: Ted Hempson, Oakland, Raising the Start the Star, Ricky Jackson,

316
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans, willing there, Mike Singretary the eyes, the eyes though,

317
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: brother be the eyes. And then you why did you

318
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: do this book and why did you focus on linebackers?

319
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: I focused on linebackers because my concept of behind the

320
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: Mask it had no intentions of having these other cast

321
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: members on, these other great men, great leaders. But the

322
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: more I thought about it, and the more I saw

323
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: a gap. I think in anything that you do, money

324
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: making conversations, whenever you want to meet somebody, everybody has

325
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: a need and you have to find that need. And

326
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: so the need that I saw was when I was

327
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: hearing their stories told, and some of their stories being told,

328
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: it was either either diluted or it was not told

329
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: to the extent with the passion that it deserved. And

330
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: so for me, I was like, you know what, this

331
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: is not only will I share my story, I'm gonna

332
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: go around an interview every guy, and every linebacker comes

333
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: from a different decade. Absolutely, you talked about Willie Laniers

334
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: in the history of the game. This is not just

335
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: a football book. It's a book about leadership. It's a

336
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: book about perseverance. It's a book about discipline, and I

337
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: picked a guy out of very decade to share their

338
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 1: story of how did they become great? What made you

339
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: an outlie? What was that defining moment when you were

340
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: a kid and you said, you know what, I am

341
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: going to sacrifice everything for an idea or a dream

342
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: that I have. And I went, I visited every guy

343
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: for a two year time period, spent the day with them,

344
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: and I got their story of their defining moment. And

345
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: so when you look through the book and you read

346
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: the stories, the stories drives the images, and the images

347
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: drives the story. So I I just thought it was

348
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: a great way for me to be able to not

349
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: only share their story, but allow them to be the

350
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: author of their own autobiography. Well, I think it's important

351
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: that the story is important. Like I was telling you,

352
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: how each one of these stories affected me are still

353
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: affect me because of the fact that you know, when

354
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: you when you're going through life, man and you and

355
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: it's different now, you know, because they they can see

356
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: social media, they see kids are seeing people, and they

357
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: think that athletes have this or this writer of passage

358
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: all their lives, you know, and sometimes and then there's

359
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: certain things that happened. They check it. You know, you

360
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: still from the athlete, okay. And and when I when

361
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: I look at what you're doing with this book, like

362
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: you said, as different errors. When I when I see

363
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: there Brooks, such a humble, humble person, you know what

364
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And the and the and the great Harry

365
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: Carston who played with LT and the Giants, with those

366
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: those great giant teams and Fletchers small compact or fearsome force.

367
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: When you look at all these linebackers, these great linebackers,

368
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: what do you fall athletically like I took a little

369
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: bit of this. I I symbolize this type of facana

370
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: or this type of physicality when you start line up

371
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: these linebackers. When I look at every guy, to me,

372
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: I split it down the middle one side, It's like

373
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: what treats do? I see what they have and how

374
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: can I incorporate that until my game? And you know,

375
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: I look at Chuck bay Nay. He was the last

376
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: of the sixty minute men, meaning he played both ways,

377
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: offense and the defensive side. Concrete Charlie was his nickname.

378
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: So for me, I wanted to be hard like Concrete Charlie.

379
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: You know, when I think about Mike Singletary, nobody ever

380
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: can recreate or try to. You know, well, they say,

381
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: uh impersonation is the best form of flattery. But Mike

382
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: sing for me, it took me to get like fierce

383
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: mad to even come close to his eyes. And I

384
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: still didn't accomplish that. But the intimidation factor of Mike

385
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: Singletary is what I really appreciated. Um. I look at

386
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: Derrick Brooks. You know, a lot of people don't know,

387
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: but Derrick Brooks, how you say, humble, reserve guy, but

388
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: his faith jumps out more than anything. And he didn't

389
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: care about necessarily football sports itself, but his family. His

390
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: faith was so strong that it led him to the

391
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: game of football, and that would really propel him to

392
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: be the Hall of Fame of that the year is today.

393
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: So from all of those attributes that these guys had,

394
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: I kind of picked a little bit from everybody. And

395
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, and and and it was very fun to

396
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: hear this story. I agree because I had the humbleness

397
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: that tone. Derrek Brookish, you know what I'm saying. I've

398
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: watched you play, the physicality, the sense of the center,

399
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: uh secretary all the way. But like I said, those

400
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: those magical eyes he had you cand that was that

401
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: was God. Their lives with God given. You can't replace

402
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: those eyes. So I know we had a few minutes left.

403
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this next book. You gonn

404
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: write about these running backs right now we're talking about

405
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: the Mask Behind the Mask and the Linebacker edition. Now

406
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a running back edition coming out, Yes, sir,

409
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: in it, man, I mess him up. I've just thought

410
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: thought kicking people to the curve. You know, you know

411
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: he's gotta start with Jim Brown. They played listen, totally agreed.

412
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: Twelve games, they're they're doing twelve games back, then all

413
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: of yours. He ran up from just twelve games health games.

414
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: Then I gotta go to Barry Sanders. M hm m hmmm.

418
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,960

419
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: running back that matched speed simultaneously. The Tyler Roves. Earl Campbell, listen,

420
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: love Earl Campbell one of the first players I saw

421
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: as a little bit as a youngster. I thought he

422
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: played lineback, that's how hard he played the game. Alongside

423
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: Walter Payton CoA. I know, I know, I know it's

424
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: with that, but I'm I'm just talking about these are

425
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: three different players. What I'm saying. And Walter Payton, Walter Payton,

00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,119
