Speaker 2: I love everything that it gives me. But I think

158
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: my separation because I think a lot of people do.

159
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: I think that it's it's that I'm not a football player. Uh,

160
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: that's just my job. And so I can detach. I

161
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: can detach, and I can go back and and look inward,

162
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: look to Christ uh and still be grounded.

163
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: You know. Like most people don't like y'all because they

164
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: thank y'all.

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: They thank y'all the bad people, right, But I just

166
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: see y'all that's doing you'all jobs. Bro y'all just do

167
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: what y'all that's that's your talent. I'm sorry that but

168
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: that's your talent. And God gave y'all that talent to

169
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: report and tell stories and uh, you know, depict stuff

170
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: in a certain type of way that people were drawn to.

171
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: And I think my talent was your football. And so

172
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: I think that's what helps me that you know, Christ

Speaker 2: can detach from the game.

175
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: Precipes are
