I remember report day? You carry your bag?

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,680

19
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:16,760

00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:23,719
Did you work with him? Yeah?

00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:28,159
Speaker 4: It was okay, Yeah, you had the Air Canada shirt

23
00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:28,920
the year before that?

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: Remember, yeah it might have but mine might have been

25
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:31,799
the year.

26
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 5: I can't remember who's who it was that he was

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,680
too much star one year.

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what he printed. Uh, I don't know where

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,400
you got that shirt from. Is the one who you

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,920
holding the crystal ball? I think it was. I have

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,920
one of those as well. Uh did you get him forced?

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,760
I think got him forced. He didn't get one from me.

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he probably did. I'm just assuming that you misplaced

34
00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:51,159
it like you.

35
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: Danny Atling. I called him Danny Etling.

36
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:56,879
Speaker 5: He just got that looks shrimp. He just got Flynn

37
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:03,560
uh sneaky NFL quarterback at least five years, right.

38
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: I know he's playing right now in the the UFL.

40
00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:12,960
I don't know if he got five of like vested years.

41
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:16,199
Speaker 5: I'm not even gonna ask chat GPT because I'll said

42
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:19,159
to do it too much. I'm just gonna ask Google.

43
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:20,879
Speaker 2: It's just not fa.

44
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: You tried to burn me yesterday by saying we lost

45
00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:27,120
to the Buccaneers in eight in like week four, and

46
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:30,680
we beat him in week sixteen in eight and got

47
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:31,719
John Gruden fired.

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: We killed.

49
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 6: I said, I loved how much he used chat GPT.

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,479
Speaker 5: You did all right, respect that well practice tape, And

51
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,560
I said, that's honestly all I got.

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,319
Speaker 7: Jake is the one that was like, you need to

53
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:47,560
stop trusting he does.

54
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: He like it got him at SEC Media Days, it

55
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,240
got him yesterday trying to burn me.

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,199
Speaker 2: It's got me a couple of times.

57
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: I think it's a good tool for some things, Like

58
00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:02,159
you know, if you want to check your grammar on

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,840
something you're writing, quick grammar check. There's websites to do that,

60
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,960
but it's just it's quick.

61
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,039
Speaker 2: Like what about So here's an example of what I do.

62
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 5: We're having Wressell Shepherd on like I just asked for

63
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:16,879
a brief, like a bio brief overview of his career.

64
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:18,599
That's kind of what I did with that guy that

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,080
got me at Baylor. It's like, give me, give me

66
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,159
an overview his career. And one of the overviews is

67
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:24,000
like he had a highlight game in the bulkames how

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,759
many yards they do for?

69
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, so you threw for this

70
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,439
many yards.

71
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 6: He's like, no, Oh my gosh, that's how much he

72
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,479
used Gibt Jake. You got to stop trusting it. And

73
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,080
I also forgot that we were naming like the most

74
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:42,520
random baseball players last night, and I was like I

75
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,479
just kind of blacked out and started doing it.

76
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: That no do what you're talking about. That that game.

77
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:50,120
I knew a couple of those ns.

78
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:53,879
Speaker 3: Not random that that game could be fun, like a

79
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,879
snub like somebody. If somebody was sitting there drinking with

80
00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:58,840
me and a Landro like and playing that game, they'd

81
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,240
hate us.

82
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,719
Speaker 7: That was I don't know why I.

83
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,759
Speaker 6: Can name like so many Royals players.

84
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:06,439
Speaker 2: It was fun.

85
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,599
Speaker 3: It had like it had like a mix of like

86
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:11,319
their homegrown players and also like some old heads that

87
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:11,960
they brought in.

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: It cannot better.

89
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 7: Like Moneyball a little bit, but like it worked.

90
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: It's like that looks Gordon.

91
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:23,319
Speaker 4: He was like the guy on that team they brought in.

92
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 7: He's a captain.

93
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: I think they brought Lorenzo.

94
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 4: Caine that year in the outfield, and he was a

95
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,439
he was a guy they had just brought.

96
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 7: I liked Lorenzo Kaine.

97
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,759
Speaker 6: So Lorenzo Kine got injured and he got sent down

98
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,480
for rehab and the team, I forget the team it was.

99
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 7: He It wasn't round Rock, but he played against round Rock.

100
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:44,639
Speaker 6: And this was like after they won the World Series

101
00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:47,639
and I went to that game. But this was like

102
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,160
I was still in high school, so I had a

103
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,360
curfew and I had to go home, but I was

104
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:53,879
so mad because I wanted to get Lorenzo Kine, a

105
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:56,680
World Series champ, to sign a baseball that I had,

106
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,959
and I had got his attention and he told me

107
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,279
to wait for him after game and he'd sign my ball.

108
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,519
And I had to leave before the game was over,

109
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,199
and I was so mad. I didn't talk to my

110
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,040
parents for the rest of the night. I was so mad.

111
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: I had had an experience like that in the minor

112
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:14,560
league game shout out to the Shreefport Captains. There used

113
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,360
to be a double A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants,

114
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:20,920
and the affiliate would come play like one game a year,

115
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,839
like the you know, the major league club to the

116
00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:25,160
we'll play one game a year there, and the San

117
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:28,040
Francisco Giants came and I think, like Kevin Mitchell was

118
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,600
on that Giants team, but more importantly, Will Clark was

119
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:32,959
on that team, and I knew Will Clark was from

120
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,319
Louisiana and I know he wasn'tn LSU.

121
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: Guy. I went to Mississippi State.

122
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: But I wanted like Will Clark to sign my baseball

123
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,079
so bad, and like I finally Guy's attention, I'm like, well, well,

124
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,279
my guy's attention.

125
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, you sign you signed? He looked at me

126
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,480
and turned away. No, that was messed up.

127
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,199
Speaker 6: He came to Guarantee one time and I met him

128
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:56,720
while he was here, and he was super cool.

129
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,519
Speaker 2: But I must say he's not I'm saying I don't

130
00:05:58,519 --> 00:05:58,879
know him.

131
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:00,959
Speaker 6: At all, but I've heard stuff like not just from you,

132
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,240
but I've heard stuff like that.

133
00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:05,199
Speaker 7: And I so I didn't want to ask him to

134
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:05,800
take a picture.

135
00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:08,399
Speaker 6: I mean I was, but I was new here, so

136
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:09,920
I was definitely not going to ask him.

137
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: For though.

138
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: I just remember when my parents used to talk up

139
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,079
Will Clark, so I was I hit left handed and

140
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:19,600
like you need to hit like well you know the

141
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120
left handed. I just remember like Will Clark was like

142
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,839
big in our house. He's like the only non brave

143
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,399
that we ever talked about. And then he was coming

144
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:29,720
to Shreveport and I don't even think he played that day.

145
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,399
Speaker 2: I think he was just there. I think like he's just.

146
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: Like tune it up and he was like in the dugout.

147
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:36,639
Speaker 2: I got his attention, but.

148
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 5: Quickly if he can't not everybody's look.

149
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 3: I'm just saying like I remember, like it's a core memory,

150
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,800
like well, a lot.

151
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,959
Speaker 2: Of eight year old, a lot of eight year.

152
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,959
Speaker 6: Old at that time was an eight year old and

153
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,160
he had a football and he's like, man, Matt, you

154
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,439
would look at him and turn away.

155
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: No, that would sign it exactly.

156
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 5: So the only time like this is okay, this is

157
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:04,839
back in the playing days where you know, there's people

158
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,279
just want autographs from people that have the jersey and helmet.

159
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: It's not about like the person. You know.

160
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 5: I'm not always so there is some times where I

161
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:22,680
would turn away. Little kids, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.

162
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,199
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why so much.

163
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm tell you why I called you a

164
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:26,199
d bag and you're.

165
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,399
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you why because everywhere you go, and

166
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,319
Jake's gonna attest to this when I bring it up.

167
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: Everywhere you go when.

168
00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 5: You fly to a hotel where if you stay at

169
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,399
your hotel, there is a group of people that find

170
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:43,800
their way around the security security barriers and they're autograph hounds. Yeah, okay,

171
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:46,800
And there are people that that dude for a living.

172
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:50,240
They sell autographs, They sell pictures, and they will try

173
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:53,560
to sneak around and get autographs for the sole purpose

174
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:56,800
of selling them. It's not for a fan, it's not

175
00:07:56,879 --> 00:07:58,639
for like to go up on their wall or whatever.

176
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,879
And players started getting used to this and learn and

177
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,600
figuring it out.

178
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: And you can and you can spot them. You can tell.

179
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:07,519
Speaker 5: You can just tell because they have there's notebook of stuff,

180
00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:09,560
they have a bag of stuff, and like so they

181
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,879
started trying to hide, and they try to hide the

182
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,040
fact that hide their stuff behind. They would start bringing

183
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,079
their wives to go ask for these autographs, and then

184
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,680
they started asking their children. Their children were like runners

185
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,720
for them, like they're like, all right, you you would

186
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,240
see them like back in the back because you would

187
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,560
get off the bus and you see them, all right.

188
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,759
They'd give their kid a card or a picture or

189
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:31,240
something like go run and get it and like and

190
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:33,679
I would, and every now and then a kid would

191
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:34,000
come up.

192
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:36,039
Speaker 2: And be like that is that your dad over there.

193
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:41,039
Speaker 5: I had a hard time doing it, but there was

194
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,120
people around me that certainly would something like.

195
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:51,799
Speaker 2: That vis Ago.

196
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,799
Speaker 5: If you followed any athlete or quarterback, you would see

197
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,320
him turned down.

198
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,039
Speaker 2: A lot of quarter all have a meeting being like

199
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,039
Phillips would sign a lot. But I give that situation.

200
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,360
Probably those kind of.

201
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:05,759
Speaker 5: Guys like like if a quarter of starting quarterback in the

202
00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:08,200
NFL is gonna sign everybody's autograph who wants to like it,

203
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:10,240
it's gonna they'd still be signing.

204
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,159
Speaker 4: I could just I just see y'all having a meeting

205
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:13,519
and being like, gosh, don't fall for it.

206
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: The kids are more.

207
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 5: They also come back with like this piece of paper

208
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:18,360
and they're all like taped and like he's like, can

209
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:19,279
you sign all eighty of these?

210
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: So I'll sign one one.

211
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 4: Stuff saying like they don't sign with blue ink or

212
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:25,759
something like that.

213
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 5: For you, like if someone comes with that as a player,

214
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:30,960
you're like, if anybody asked for like if they give

215
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,840
you a pen with blue ink, don't sign?

216
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: Is it because it's easier to like I don't know.

217
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,919
I don't know did y'all have it?

218
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 5: Did people ever tell you all that they told us,

219
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,440
or like they come out to you with the blue ink,

220
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,240
don't don't sign it?

221
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:45,039
Speaker 4: Oh no, I've seen that from like like red carpet

222
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:47,279
celebrities and stuff talk about like, yeah, you can't sign

223
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:47,960
anything with blue een.

224
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,639
Speaker 2: Yeah that was that was That was the real thing.

225
00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:52,159
I'm not trying. They're autographed hawk there is right right.

226
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 3: I saw I swear to like in this statement, I'm

227
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,320
not trying to be funny. We didn't have the same

228
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,679
situation probably as a Green Bay pam Like I'm not

229
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,080
just you know, No, San Diego and.

230
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,159
Speaker 8: The Chargers we had Hall of fames that had valuable

231
00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:12,279
but when I went, well, when I went to Denver,

232
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,240
like that's when I kind of saw like what you're

233
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:17,919
talking about, like people hiding.

234
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: And coming out of the bushes basically and kids asking

235
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:22,639
for parents for like some of the players we had

236
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:26,159
on that team, like in San Diego as wild because

237
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,519
I don't I don't you know, I don't know if

238
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,240
it's because nobody's actually from there. I don't like cause

239
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,080
it's not like it's a it's a big city, don't

240
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,799
get me wrong, but there's so many other things to

241
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,879
do that like people aren't that's probably why they're not there,

242
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,840
Like weren't really worried about it. So like we'd all

243
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,360
go out like to the movies, to dinner, to like whatever,

244
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,519
and maybe like one or two would come up to

245
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:52,600
even Philip like for an autograph. So I think you

246
00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:55,519
truly like y'all had a different situation because like you're

247
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,559
the Green Bay Packers, like you're one of like the OG's,

248
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:02,240
like when you went to Chicago. I can't imagine what

249
00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:05,519
that was like, because when you go to Chicago, they

250
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:06,639
know everybody.

251
00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: I was blown away.

252
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 3: Like anytime we played the Bears in Chicago, we'd go

253
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,039
try to eat dinner and like the deep Snappers getting

254
00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:16,799
asked for an autograph, like they know everybody.

255
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,399
Speaker 2: That was our experience. Lease.

256
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: I played there twice, I think, and that was so

257
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,720
I'm sure like when y'all went to like places like Chicago,

258
00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:26,120
which there's probably packer fans, I'm sure y'all couldn't even

259
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,879
get around town Ian we could.

260
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:28,399
Speaker 2: Yeah you could.

261
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: You just had that group. You had, Yeah, the group,

262
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:32,600
and they you could. They were sitting there, they'd have

263
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,519
like five Duffel bags. They'd have every mini helmet you

264
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:38,320
could think of, real helmet jerseys like already pinned up

265
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,039
on cardboard.

266
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: You know what.

267
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: They were prepped and ready knew what they wanted to sell.

268
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:44,000
They already had the inventory. Yeah, they just needed to

269
00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:52,080
get it signed. So watch one of those videos of anybody,

270
00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:55,960
like anybody saying like if anybody doesn't sign, like on

271
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,639
a video. A lot of times if you look closely

272
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,679
somebody's handing them a blue ink pin and a card

273
00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:03,600
and they're like, no, dude, and then they come off

274
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,559
as a prick. Yeah, I guess I did sign something

275
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,840
in I put so on like at this point our career,

276
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,159
it doesn't matter. It's like, yeah, if you needed that, BA,

277
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,200
if you need that, four dollars here, Bud take it.

278
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,639
And a lot of a lot of young players in

279
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,320
the NFL too. That's how they make a majority of

280
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,279
their money is signing things. So they're not gonna they're

281
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,720
not car they're not gonna sign.

282
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,399
Speaker 2: Yeah bought my first car off card money. Yeah, they're

283
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:32,600
not going to like sign things, just like they'll sign

284
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:35,639
for kids. Yeah, okay, so right here.

285
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:39,279
Speaker 4: According to Matt's favorite source, AI, it says due to

286
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,799
concerns about forgery or reproduction, so it must be easier

287
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,200
to like clam down on the blue ink and copy

288
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:45,799
it or something.

289
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: That's what it says. It says, my mind, I had

290
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:49,759
no idea this is a thing.

291
00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:53,799
Speaker 4: It's you can it's easier to reproduce an autograph with blue.

292
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: Ink, blue ink on the Herbie blue ink on the

293
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,000
Herbie blue ink on the Keenan Allen.

294
00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I get it.

295
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,799
Speaker 3: Blue ink on that one too, Okay, cool, all three

296
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,720
of those are blue ink.

297
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it.

298
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: Uh.

299
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,919
Speaker 3: I actually I think it was a National Treasure card

300
00:13:12,919 --> 00:13:16,159
of mine that I put on our off the break yesterday.

301
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:20,360
Huh signed by me blue ink. Yeah, just sign that,

302
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,759

303
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:23,159
your house?

304
00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: No? Not, I got a stack of those of those

305
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:26,720
that are not signed.

306
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 5: Well on the back of online at least you like impress.

307
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,519
So when I got done playing, they did give me

308
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,519
a bag either. Yeah, they got a huge bag like

309
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,279
stacks in my cards my background because those ones are sweet.

310
00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: But on the back of you it's like an impression.

311
00:13:40,159 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 5: You can barely it's like a watermarket says like a

312
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:43,039

00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,120

00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:25,480

Speaker 3: Yeah that box, that box was an expensive box. That's

334
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:45,679
a used car box.

335
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: No, no, it's not that much. Well I think it's

336
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,000
great at tens. Maybe it gets great and tens. That

337
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:54,879
is a high school used car And currently they're currently

338
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,559
being graded right now, they're in the grading process because.

339
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,039
Speaker 2: We we did the expedited service.

340
00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:01,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we're going to open them on air without

341
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:02,519
even looking at it.

342
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,799
Speaker 2: And so if you think the S word is the

343
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:06,120
worst thing that Flynn said.

344
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:11,639
Speaker 5: If they get like nine or eight, I might might quip, oh,

345
00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:14,919
well you might get fired for what you say.

346
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I have enjoyed it.

347
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: I have enjoyed and honestly, we might be the photograph first. Yeah,

348
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:25,000
the first day that we started this whole deal with

349
00:15:25,039 --> 00:15:27,440
like trading cards was t Bob's going away party.

350
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,759
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.

351
00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 5: I don't know how you're like, because I have you

352
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,039
been into cars? I recently started, like we got it.

353
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,919
And my son got into it in March maybe yeah,

354
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,600
just because he was had some buddies at school they

355
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:42,559
were they had seen some cards and he had really

356
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,279
been into NFL football recently. Yeah, so I took him

357
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,440
to a card shop. We opened some cards and like

358
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,679
he hit lad McConkie card that was worth like one

359
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,720
hundred bucks. And then like my ears perked up, was

360
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,559
like huh, yeah, those things are worth stuff.

361
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,799
Speaker 2: And then started learning a little bit more about it.

362
00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:01,039
Speaker 3: But then yes, for your remember you would come in here,

363
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:04,000
you know, once every three weeks like you did, and

364
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:06,080
you would talk about it. I was like, man, that's cool,

365
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,879
Like I want to and so like I started, like

366
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,919
because I was the only thing I was ever chasing

367
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,679
was like the Paul Skins debut patch, like one of one,

368
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,559
like I bought boxes of those tops. Like I didn't know,

369
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,559
I had no idea, Like I hadn't I didn't know

370
00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:20,679
what a refractor was.

371
00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: I didn't know anything.

372
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, that's shiny, that's gotta be worth a

373
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:24,720
couple of dollars.

374
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: But it was T Bob's party that you did this.

375
00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:30,519
It's your fault, was it.

376
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we were saying goodbye to T Bob and

377
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,120
we're in the corner watching a card break and your

378
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:38,240
wife was judging us.

379
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:40,519
Speaker 7: I literally walked over and was like, are you watching

380
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,679
the car? He's like, I'm not watching a card break.

381
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:44,279
Speaker 2: No, you're watching a card break.

382
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:48,159
Speaker 3: Hit I hit, I hit that one. Lad that you're

383
00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:51,519
getting graded for me in that break? Yeah, what a

384
00:16:51,559 --> 00:16:54,519
good memory. Yeah.

385
00:16:54,919 --> 00:16:58,519
Speaker 5: Then at your birthday party, gave you Jacob ester p

386
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:00,200
S a graded rookie card.

387
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,519
Speaker 2: Only nine and a half didn't get a ten. Good

388
00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:05,680
can splurge for the ten. Huh. They didn't have any

389
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:08,400
limited populations, zero.

390
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,519
Speaker 3: Popular anytime that you got a card and you're in

391
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:14,160
your practice uniform and let you know how many you've

392
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,039
really got out there.

393
00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: Only had two years of cards. First year, second year.

394
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,559
Speaker 5: There's this card that I got that's got me on it,

395
00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:27,400
and it's like four other quarterbacks on it, all rookie,

396
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,319
like the same age. Yeah, and they were all the

397
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,160
top pick so they like they were part of the

398
00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:32,440
NFL premiere.

399
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: Flacco Ryan and so they all like at the Rookie Premiere.

400
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,160
So they all had like their game.

401
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:41,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I had my red practice jersey and my

402
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:44,000

404
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:49,839
Speaker 3: It's right, you beat that second round pick out.

450
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: Well, let me answer. Let me answer that question by

451
00:20:27,519 --> 00:20:31,039
asking you two questions. One is this or is this

452
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,920
not the XFL? Yes?

453
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 5: It is?

454
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: Two do or do I not currently have a pulse? Yes?

455
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: I do.

456
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:45,599
Speaker 2: Let's play football. Oh that's in incredible. Wow, that's that's incredible.

457
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,720
Or do I not? And he like he meant that,

458
00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:53,200
He meant it. He was ready for that question. But

459
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,440
how they go on the spot. They had him ready, dude,

460
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,319
that was incredible. I love They had to have told him, like, look,

461
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,519
I hope they didn't get an interviewed. I hope they

462
00:21:02,519 --> 00:21:07,039
didn't either, because it off the top of the dough.

463
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,559
Speaker 5: Yes, it is currently have a pulse. Yes, I did.

464
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:15,920
Fact the old XFL.

465
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, like where the coin tosses two guys sprinting for

466
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,559
the football in whicheveryone recovers it gets to choose, like

467
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,880
there was so many collar bones that were just taken.

468
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: You got a concussion six days ago, but do I

469
00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:34,759
do not have a pulse. Let's go.

470
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,839
Speaker 5: You might got a couple of brain bruises in there currently.

471
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,880
I can't believe how much he looks like his brother.

472
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,680
To go ahead, lord, all.

473
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: Right, we mentioned that reporting days today. Practice actually starts

474
00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:53,400
tomorrow for l s U. Super fired up for that,

475
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,039
and it truly is talking. Season is kind of over

476
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:58,640
and now with the Saints and LSU both in camp,

477
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:02,119
and I know they practiced in the morning, but you know,

478
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,759
Flynn and I are going to head across there at

479
00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:05,839
some point. Go check out maybe the last couple of

480
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,240
periods of practice. I might just leave y'all and just

481
00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:12,920
take like a com rex one day, do the show

482
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,559
from over there, because, by god, I bet we could.

483
00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:19,880
I want to see Falcony, I bet we could. I

484
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,000
want to see inside run. I want to see the

485
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:27,599
inside run drill nine on seven because that to me,

486
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,680
because of the offensive line, the defensive line, and the

487
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:36,400
running backs and also the tight ends. Think about what

488
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,519
you can learn about LSU if you just go watch

489
00:22:39,559 --> 00:22:42,680
a nine on seven period and like for those.

490
00:22:42,519 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 5: Listening nine seven periods, Yeah, I'm just wondering, do they

491
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,640
run the personnel enough that personnel know they have like

492
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,480
a run period?

493
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody, So everybody still has nine on seven yeah,

494
00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:00,640
inside run seven yeah, or the defense is going to

495
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,400
be you know, a little bit of an advantage. So

496
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,119
if you can run a nine on seven, there's nine

497
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,880
against seven, that's hence the name.

498
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,559
Speaker 2: You can do it anywhere.

499
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 3: Like safeties in nine on seven are like it's six yards,

500
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,960
you know, because they're like there's no threat of his pass.

501
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 5: I mean you practice is supposed to be harder than

502
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,920
the game, and nine on seven is one of the

503
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,920
main definitions of that because it's nine on seven and

504
00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:23,799
so it's a running.

505
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: Period, runningdrill. You can't throw it. Everybody knows. I want

506
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,200
to see that.

507
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 3: I want to see I want to see the physicality

508
00:23:31,759 --> 00:23:33,720
with the offensive line. I want to see who it

509
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,839
is left or right. I want to see the tight

510
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,039
end position as well. Okay, because you brought in two

511
00:23:40,079 --> 00:23:42,000
new tight ends. Trade as Green is going to be

512
00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:43,359
an f but like he's going to have to do

513
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,000
some why things. He's going to be an inline blocker

514
00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:49,359
sometimes because if he's not, your fall into tendencies Like

515
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,920
Cayden Durham's fully healthy, like he had a foot injury,

516
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:57,480
toe injury, basically the entire back half of last year.

517
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: It was still really good.

518
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,079
Speaker 3: Like he's still like think about like some of the

519
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,480
games that he made some hey in like South Carolina game,

520
00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:06,039
he probably won you the game as a true freshman.

521
00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:08,319
I want to see the young running backs, but like

522
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,000
if I could pick one drill to.

523
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,039
Speaker 2: Tell me a lot of what I need to know about.

524
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,599
Speaker 3: LSU, I think that is the perfect one because every

525
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,880
kind of question Mark would be involved.

526
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:20,519
Speaker 2: In that position. That's to watch too.

527
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 5: Think he's involved, but there's no like, you're not going

528
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,119
to offense is never going to look great in that period.

529
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:30,279
You're never gonna like break a huge run or anything.

530
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:34,039
Speaker 2: But if you do. And the quarterbacks these days, you know,

531
00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:34,440
this is.

532
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,039
Speaker 5: A you're ready for a back in my day type

533
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:41,640
speech here. They will never understand the hardships that quarterbacks faced.

534
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 2: In nine on seven.

535
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 5: They will never understand what hardships when you and you

536
00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:51,200
get up there and you're underneath the center and you're

537
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:54,799
calling a snap count, trying to take a snap from

538
00:24:54,839 --> 00:24:59,599
a center in nine on seven who is usually getting

539
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,839
away lower than he usually would and firing off the

540
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,440
ball faster than he normally would because the defensive line

541
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,599
is firing off faster because they know it's a run.

542
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,319
There's no threat of pass, the centers like lose their mind.

543
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,640
And then not to mention, like, you rotate a lot

544
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,279
of people, so you always get like the second backup

545
00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:21,799
center who's like the right tackle or the guard. So

546
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,680
and then if you fumble a snap in nine on seven,

547
00:25:24,839 --> 00:25:28,480
you'll just look dumb and the head coach loses their mind.

548
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,039
So I remember going to a nine on seven's probably

549
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:34,480
the most like nervous of any of the drills that

550
00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:37,799
we did in practice. Not nervous might not be the

551
00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:40,279
right word, but the dread of like, oh gosh, I

552
00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:42,519
gotta like take the sentence, like I gotta take the

553
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:43,759
snaps from these guys.

554
00:25:44,039 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 2: They're going to be so low.

555
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 5: These defensive tackles are gonna like hit them like as

556
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,039
they're snaping the ball.

557
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 2: So that's pretty tough on his quarterbacks.

558
00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I feel so sorry for y'all. How

559
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,400
did y'all ever, how did y'all ever get through that then.

560
00:25:57,559 --> 00:26:00,319
Speaker 5: But the quarterbacks these days, guess what, they don't get

561
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:00,720
it because of.

562
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 2: Nine on seven.

563
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 5: There is let me tell you something, Oh don't you

564
00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:10,880
dare go heart count hard like in nine on seven.

565
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,880
It's on one. It is on one if you quick,

566
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:17,240
If you quick count them, defensive coaches lose their mind

567
00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:18,599
if you hard town them.

568
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,599
Speaker 2: Everybody jumps off sides. Everybody's losing their mind. How many

569
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,119
times did you hear Jimbo Fisher?

570
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,079
Speaker 3: Hey, Hey, I'm sorry, Bo, Hey, we'll tell Auburn not

571
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,079
to go on too all right, sorry, but we'll tell

572
00:26:29,079 --> 00:26:29,759
Auburn this way.

573
00:26:29,759 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: Hey not, hey, don't go on to Bo's not ready

574
00:26:31,759 --> 00:26:36,960
for it. And then just yep, yeaping ready to throw down.

575
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,759
Speaker 3: I used to love watching those two go at it,

576
00:26:38,759 --> 00:26:42,559
and they loved each other like they hung out like

577
00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:44,920
on the road and stuff like they go have a cold,

578
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,799
like those two who have a cold. Pop yep, but

579
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,279
dere in practice.

580
00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 2: Sorry, we'll tell Auburn not to go on to this.

581
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 5: Week bow and then he picks his ear with us

582
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,759
fist pencil eraser.

583
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

584
00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 3: Shout out to Jimbo though he actually just got a

585
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,240
spot on tv ACC Network shout out.

586
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 5: That was me in the NFL, Like once I got

587
00:27:05,599 --> 00:27:08,880
vested to the defensive coordinators and scout team and stuff.

588
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,759
When I'd run it like, I would go hard, count

589
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:13,400
all the time, I'd audible. I would throw it to

590
00:27:13,519 --> 00:27:16,039
the to the last person they had. They want to

591
00:27:16,079 --> 00:27:19,240
be a throw to. Oh my bad, I didn't know

592
00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:21,240
Ben Roethlisberger wouldn't go on to know.

593
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: Oh you would have been Roethlisberger to throw in the

594
00:27:24,759 --> 00:27:29,039
comfort too. No, dude, I'm good. Oh you didn't like

595
00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:31,559
I would. I would change the protection too. I would

596
00:27:31,599 --> 00:27:34,079
slide it out to the nick stuff. They don't do that.

597
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,799
I'm like, yeah, they're NFL.

598
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,039
Speaker 3: See, I'm so glad, Like I don't know, we're gonna

599
00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:40,400
get a brave We got chep Waite nose.

600
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: Norm was so good. North Turner like he wouldn't do that.

601
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:47,599
Speaker 3: And if we had to repeat a play like more

602
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,079
than twice, he's get it out. He's like, you think, hey,

603
00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:53,559
you know what, I bet you. Oakland's not going to

604
00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:56,200
allow us to repeat the play on Sunday. So if

605
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,880
we're repeating it on practice time, that need to get

606
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:01,000
it out, get it.

607
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 5: Out, well, Oakland might have that's true, but other things

608
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,640
the Broncos didn't Kansas City.

609
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 2: Not Oakland, Oakland. You won't do it again. Okay, we

663
00:31:01,799 --> 00:31:03,839
Speaker 3: One of the things that we were talking about is

664
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,160
like you know, different times in different years and when

665
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,799
you're reporting, Like for you, like once you get to

666
00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:11,200
the NFL, right, and I mean you had a hell

667
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,400
of a career, you lasted a very long time. What

668
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,920
was that first one like for you? Because Jeff, like

669
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,000
you knew what kind of player you were and you

670
00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:20,599
were going in undrafted free agent type guy, Like what

671
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,519
was your mindset going into that training camp maybe compared

672
00:31:23,559 --> 00:31:26,119
to year four or five in the NFL.

673
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah. So look so with me, like every every

674
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,400
player has that different journey and it's a unique journey.

675
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,799
All of them are worth it that earned. So with me,

676
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,720
I was an undrafted free agent to Philly. I was

677
00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:43,880
the first you know drafted and undrafted class time that

678
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,039
Chip Kelly, So you know, we you know I didn't

679
00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:49,759
have I had a relationship with coach Kelly coming out

680
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:52,000
of high school. He recruited me. I still ended up,

681
00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:55,000
you know, going to LSU. So when he was in

682
00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:57,839
a head coach position with Philly, it made perfect sense

683
00:31:57,839 --> 00:31:59,839
for me to go there off of the relationships. So

684
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:03,240
had a great training camp. I was able to play

685
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,720
with my all time favorite player, Michael Vick. He was

686
00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:08,680
a quarterback at that point in time with the organization.

687
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,880
But we were stacked, man. We had Sean Jackson, Jason Levon,

688
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:17,960
Jeremy Macklin, Roley Cooper, the list goes on. It was

689
00:32:18,119 --> 00:32:21,680
deep room. So I end up, you know, getting waves

690
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,480
with final cuts. I made it all the way to

691
00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:26,920
the final cut. The last preach is the game. I

692
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,519
got waves and the next pave. You know, every NFL

693
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,480
team had twenty four hours to pick up your rights.

694
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,480
So with me, you know, not really knowing kind of

695
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:40,960
you know, if I was gonna end up somewhere at

696
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,839
that point, I didn't have an agent, so I was

697
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,160
just kind of a little little since sleep that night,

698
00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:49,680
not knowing my future. So I get a call from

699
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,079
Tommy Mossick. This actually the first time I ever told

700
00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:55,519
the story. So Coach Mossy called me about nine thirty

701
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,640
that night. I actually just got off the phone with

702
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,480
Hollie Roseman, the GM for the Philadelphia Eagles, and you know,

703
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:05,799
Howie told me, you know, Russell, unfortunately, Man, we had

704
00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:08,480
to release you, but we want to bring in the

705
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,200
practice squad if possible. I said, well, Howie, what do

706
00:33:12,279 --> 00:33:14,880
you mean possible. He's like, well, somebody picks you up,

707
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,359
then you know you have to go with that team,

708
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,960
you know. But you know, I said, well, what's the

709
00:33:21,079 --> 00:33:23,359
chances you think of me getting claimed Howie on the

710
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:26,480
scale of one to ten. And you know, Howie's a

711
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,799
good friend of mine. He gave me opportunity. You know,

712
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,960
no shade towards him or that made an organization, the Eagles,

713
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,279
but he told me I had a three out of ten.

714
00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:37,400
So that was kind of it kind of kicked me

715
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,640
in the you know, the coach you know, when he

716
00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:41,640
told me that. And so when I got off the

717
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,400
phone with Howie, just randomly, I get a call from

718
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,720
Tommy Mossick, and coach Mafick told me, hey, Bush Davis,

719
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,519
who was the former head coach at University of North Carolina.

720
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:58,160
He's a special associate assistant to Breg Ciano and they

721
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,960
called asking about your chef. So I know I heard

722
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,839
you got waved with Philly, but I just want to

723
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,799
let you know they called action about you. And I

724
00:34:07,839 --> 00:34:10,199
woke up that morning. I went in to sign my

725
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,000
contract with the Philadelphia Eagles to be on the practice squad,

726
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,960
and Howie Roseman had to pull He pulled me to

727
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,360
the side and say, ship, unfortunately, man, you can't sign

728
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,480
this contract. You've just been claimed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

729
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,599
And yeah, it just it just all just clicked. So

730
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,679
I went into training. You know, obviously my training camp experience,

731
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,519
I had a great camp, had a great relationship with

732
00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:40,039
coach Kelly, but obviously through other relationships, you know, Coach Mossick,

733
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,119
you know, speaking highly of me when they they when

734
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:46,920
Tampa calls me playing against Bush days in North Carolina,

735
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,519
having a great game, and you know, three years prior,

736
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,159
you know, all these things led to me ultimately getting

737
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:55,199
claimed and being with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

738
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,199
Speaker 5: For your straight It's such a cool story because you

739
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,840
were the epitome of like do everything the right way,

740
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,039
do with the right attitude. Like I used to love

741
00:35:06,119 --> 00:35:08,719
when I was playing coming back in the off season

742
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,119
and I work it out with you, played throwing with you,

743
00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:13,519
running routes, all that good stuff.

744
00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: Man, we had some good times back in the day.

745
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,639
Speaker 5: But like football is such a small world and college

746
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,800
NFL is so interconnected. So so like you, certainly, I

747
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,320
think all LSU fans would agree and Hesse certainly like

748
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,480
you were not used correctly when you were here at LSU.

749
00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:30,480
And but you made a name for yourself in the

750
00:35:30,559 --> 00:35:32,840
NFL for a long time because you did the right

751
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,559
things and that story like highlights that because you had

752
00:35:36,599 --> 00:35:41,280
somebody from college all on your behalf and vouch for you,

753
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:41,920
and that's.

754
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 2: The way these things work.

755
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 5: But then you get to Tampa and you have a

756
00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:48,920
really good I think four years in Tampa, is that right?

757
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,599
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, man, it was a great opportunity. You know.

758
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,360
The thing about so people that have different opinions about Coachiano,

759
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,800
but he's very easy how he's very intelligent.

760
00:36:02,199 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 5: You know.

761
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 10: He obviously is a very you know, strong armed, you know, leader,

762
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,480
and he has a notary background, and I think people

763
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:14,000
like him, you know, whether Nick say, Ben Greg Ciano,

764
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,679
Chip Kelly, you know, you have some guys that are

765
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,559
wired more social college and I think that was his

766
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,760
you know, his ultimate thing. But I learned a lot

767
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,760
from him, and I kind of got introduced to special teams,

768
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,679
you know, you know when I the funny thing, Matt.

769
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,639
So when I got to Tampa, the next morning, I practice,

770
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:39,599
but that morning, not knowing the playbook and still getting

771
00:36:39,639 --> 00:36:42,280
you know, just first day at work, I didn't they

772
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,360
didn't have me do any reps. So immediately right after practice,

773
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,360
it was me and another guy that they claimed. I

774
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,119
forget the young man's name, but he's a d D.

775
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,159
So right after practice they pulled me in this young

776
00:36:57,199 --> 00:36:59,239
man and say, hey, Rush, we want you guys to

777
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,199
do some one on one. And this is after I

778
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,119
got claimed. So you know, typically when you when you

779
00:37:07,199 --> 00:37:10,760
get claimed, you have to be on the NFL team

780
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,079
for three weeks straight. They have to pay you at

781
00:37:13,159 --> 00:37:14,760
least you don't have to be on the team, but

782
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,199
they have to pay you that. You know that the

783
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,920
money from the three games. So you know, I thought

784
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,639
I was on the team. Everything's where I got at

785
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,360
least three weeks to show myself. So literally after practice,

786
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,840
me and this the dB we do fifteen straight one

787
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:37,199
on one before but before we even started, they had

788
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,639
half of the post out, the in house shouts. They

789
00:37:40,639 --> 00:37:44,440
were on the sideline as well as the GM Gregg Cheano.

790
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,280
They were all there watching us do one on one

791
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:51,039
and man, ultimately I end up you know, you know,

792
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,760
competing and I feel like I won the battle overall.

793
00:37:54,519 --> 00:37:58,719
Literally after that practice, they end up waiving a young man.

794
00:37:59,199 --> 00:38:01,760
They brought me in and they told me, hey, Russ,

795
00:38:02,159 --> 00:38:04,119
you know both you guys play special teams at a

796
00:38:04,199 --> 00:38:07,239
high level. We claimed you guys because we both you know,

797
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,280
we wanted a guy that can contribute the team, and

798
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,320
then we wanted the guy that had the potential to

799
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:17,000
grow into a dependable receiver and ultimately that that one

800
00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:19,559
on one sets since is the reason why we kept you.

801
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,400
So you know, it's just like you said, relationships is

802
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,519
taking advantage of the moment. It's providing the right energy,

803
00:38:26,599 --> 00:38:29,599
being a guy that can learn on the move, or

804
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,280
just all that places to have in the longevity in

805
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:33,199
the NFL.

806
00:38:35,039 --> 00:38:37,159
Speaker 3: I never I honestly, I don't know that I've ever

807
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,119
heard of like going like one on one, Like I've

808
00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:41,920
seen guys try out and have competition.

809
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 2: That's a great stort.

810
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 5: I mean, CHP, especially after signed right, like yeah, you

811
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,199
go and do your workouts trying to get signed.

812
00:38:48,199 --> 00:38:49,079
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're right, like you.

813
00:38:49,599 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 3: Already signed your claim and Chef like think about like

814
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,119
what that did, like that one twenty minute period, Like

815
00:38:56,159 --> 00:38:58,320
what that did for your life, and like you know,

816
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,079
it could go in one way or another, it certainly

817
00:39:01,119 --> 00:39:03,760
went your way and you earn that spot there, but

818
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,079
just do you think about like what that moment meant

819
00:39:06,119 --> 00:39:08,480
for your life and like where you're at now successful

820
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,000
businessman and all the things you're doing.

821
00:39:11,519 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 10: Oh man, it's everything, man, you know, it just kind

822
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,320
of gave me a true understanding of just capturing the moment,

823
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,000
you know, just being grateful for the opportunity, you know,

824
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:23,800
to see the glass half full not empty. All these

825
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,920
things just leading to having a positive mindset, just preparing

826
00:39:28,119 --> 00:39:31,199
and joining the process. I mean that's kind of led

827
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,199
me into entrepreneurship because while I was in the league,

828
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,639
like you two guys who were both mentors and just

829
00:39:36,679 --> 00:39:39,320
you know, leaders to guys like me, time at you

830
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,440
the Jordan Jeffersons of the world. Like you know, it's

831
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,440
all about being present, having your seat grounded, and making

832
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,559
the impact what you're at. And then, like I said

833
00:39:48,559 --> 00:39:51,440
in Breaking you know, the competition. One thing about an

834
00:39:51,559 --> 00:39:55,000
LSU player in the NFL, whether it's Jason Light from

835
00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:59,800
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is Howie Roseman. Whomever you're talking

836
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,440
to LSU players, they come to get us because we

837
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,559
compete at a high level and we got a little

838
00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:08,800
sucking to us. So, you know, that was one thing

839
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,679
that was grateful for, you know, being in that rum

840
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,280
being a part of, you know, the program, is that

841
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,199
we had a little edginess to us, but also too

842
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,360
we were great, you know, great, just great young men.

843
00:40:19,559 --> 00:40:22,599
So it's a special thing being a part of, you know,

844
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:23,719
that purpolement goal.

845
00:40:24,639 --> 00:40:26,679
Speaker 5: And kind of to that note, let's pick your brain

846
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,760
a little bit about the twenty twenty five unless you Tigers.

847
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,320
Have you been keeping up whether you follow it? What

848
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,320
are your thoughts going into the season with just the

849
00:40:35,519 --> 00:40:39,519
weapons at receiver, the weapons at quarterback and everything.

850
00:40:39,559 --> 00:40:40,679
Speaker 2: What's your what's you're outlook on it?

851
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:43,559
Speaker 10: Man? So you know, I spend a lot of time

852
00:40:43,599 --> 00:40:46,880
at the school now with us doing business you know

853
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,039
out there, So you know, I spent a lot of

854
00:40:49,119 --> 00:40:50,760
time around a lot of young guys.

855
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 6: Man.

856
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 10: Most I've been around the school really since I've been

857
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,400
in school, and you know, I will say this is

858
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,960
the closest team that I've seen since that twenty nineteen

859
00:41:00,199 --> 00:41:04,039
twenty team, the national championship team. I think, you know,

860
00:41:04,159 --> 00:41:08,400
I hate a QB man. I think he has a

861
00:41:08,519 --> 00:41:12,559
good grasp of the team. I think they they follow him.

862
00:41:12,639 --> 00:41:14,480
I think he leaves. He kind of reminds me of you,

863
00:41:14,599 --> 00:41:17,559
Matt Very. He leads from the front quite you know,

864
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:21,480
it doesn't say too much, peaks upone needed, you know.

865
00:41:21,559 --> 00:41:24,480
I just you know, at the end of the day,

866
00:41:24,519 --> 00:41:27,320
this game that revolves so much around you know, distributing

867
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,119
the football, so the quarterback position is just turned too

868
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:34,400
such just you know, part of you know, wins and losses.

869
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,920
So I definitely think it starts with with with our guy.

870
00:41:38,079 --> 00:41:40,199
I think he's in the right position to lead and

871
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,000
kind of take us to where we need to go.

872
00:41:42,159 --> 00:41:44,400
And I think from the offensive line to all the

873
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,960
skill guys, you know, the young guys on defense. I

874
00:41:48,039 --> 00:41:51,480
just think, you know, coach has he kin't got a good,

875
00:41:51,679 --> 00:41:54,480
you know, opportunity man to capture, but I think it's

876
00:41:54,519 --> 00:41:56,199
a great opportunity to take the crown.

877
00:41:58,119 --> 00:42:00,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, before we let you go, man, I'm so proud

878
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:03,400
of like everything you've done post playing as well and

879
00:42:03,519 --> 00:42:04,199

880
00:42:04,199 --> 00:42:06,679

886
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:23,599

887
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:26,159
didn't think we were going to have NFL season COVID.

which is a Porter Partty company. So I retired two

893
00:42:40,079 --> 00:42:43,440
days before the season in twenty twenty. Man, I call

894
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:45,519
coach Hardball and I told him I was gonna retire.

895
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,679
He's like, shut what the hell about to start training counting.

896
00:42:49,119 --> 00:42:50,599
I was like, I'm about about to hop in the

897
00:42:50,679 --> 00:42:53,119
Porter Partty truck. And you know, he thought I was

898
