Speaker 1: let get one more that first one forward? Man, Oh,
Speaker 1: you know what this sounds l L cool, Mike, this
Speaker 1: is old school. I'm gonna spin on my back. You
Speaker 1: never back in the day when they said these beats
Speaker 1: to be like the name is Nate through do whatever.
Speaker 1: I want to be out here doing my thing. I
Speaker 1: played football just to get the brain Bowl. I did it.
Speaker 1: Get it when I hit the ball stuff. I like
Speaker 1: to spit it. What did you want to do with
Speaker 1: the old school beat? A taste? Defeat? Defeat? Old school wrap? Mike?
Speaker 1: You crazy? Oh? Man? Hold up? Man? All right, so
Speaker 1: let's let's get into it. Man, let's talk about let's
Speaker 1: talk about Cam Newton. Let's jump right into it. It's crazy,
Speaker 1: you know, it's crazy. Cam is constantly in conversation every week,
Speaker 1: not not just the fact that the undefeated, but we're
Speaker 1: talking about him more than ever and I love it.
Speaker 1: I mean too, man. I mean, first of all, if
Speaker 1: you don't want to cat celebrating, stop him from scoring facts,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's first and foremost facts. And you you
Speaker 1: act like he was being disrespectful or anything. What's it
Speaker 1: called the data da da? Why? First of all, because
Speaker 1: somebody please tweet us, you know, you know what, I
Speaker 1: guarantee it started in a middle school of high school
Speaker 1: lunch room, a group of young black kids and playing
Speaker 1: around and they was like, yeo, this is the new dance.
Speaker 1: We got every new dance start gotta make up R
Speaker 1: and B dance or something. Right, you're right, but now,
Speaker 1: but let's talk about Cam though, because Cam he got
Speaker 1: an end zone, right, and we know Kim's gonna celebrate.
Speaker 1: He's gonna open up his chest, which for people that
Speaker 1: don't know, he's you know, opening up that that Superman
Speaker 1: you know logo underneath the Clark Kent shirt and that's
Speaker 1: his thing. And then you know he always does like
Speaker 1: what what's new? Like whatever, dances popping. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think he did the whip before now
Speaker 1: and you play receiver, so I think I know, I
Speaker 1: think I know how you're going with you how you're
Speaker 1: gonna right, is it even is it? Is it even
Speaker 1: really a place in this game for that type of
Speaker 1: Like I think I went to Penn State, right, so
Speaker 1: we we was the hand theball to the referee act
Speaker 1: like you guys were told to do that? Okay, So
Speaker 1: if you guys weren't told to do that with a
Speaker 1: group of young skilled African Americans, never been on TV
Speaker 1: at a big school and got you act to the fool? Right,
Speaker 1: But it's not. But see al right, hold up, Mike,
Speaker 1: we gotta let's bring that back because is it acting
Speaker 1: a fool? Though? See, that's the misconception now, is that
Speaker 1: because you celebrate, it's it's label. It's label. Show up? No,
Speaker 1: Because I said at the food to it that as
Speaker 1: we're saying it, in my head, I'm like, why is
Speaker 1: it acting for an expression? Though? Man, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's acting the food. I think you work so hard
Speaker 1: to get into his own right, you're there, you want
Speaker 1: to put on the show, you want to say, and
Speaker 1: and a lot of times the show boat not necessarily
Speaker 1: show boating, but the celebration and the dance it's to
Speaker 1: get you and your team hype. And that's what this
Speaker 1: meant for I don't necessarily think a lot of these
Speaker 1: are going I don't think especially Cam or anybody is
Speaker 1: going at it in a negative way like that. I
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit different when you say the
Speaker 1: cast name in the interview, like J J. What maybe
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And now I don't think
Speaker 1: that was disrespectful. I think, I think, I think and
Speaker 1: I don't let the people know what you're talking about. Though.
Speaker 1: After after Houston had the big the big dub right,
Speaker 1: the big one Monday night victory verse verse Cincinnati, he
Speaker 1: goes on He's you know, he basically is, um, he's
Speaker 1: not gonna call Andy Dalton the red red rifle. Well
Speaker 1: that's what we know him, man. He called him the
Speaker 1: red BB gun Christmas story kind of reference, classic classic movie.
Speaker 1: I thought it was hilarious, right, funny, funny, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And you hear Andy Dalton go on
Speaker 1: his post game and talk about it like he talked
Speaker 1: about his mom or something like some people may say funny,
Speaker 1: some people may say that was wanting and and I think,
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure this is but I think somebody
Speaker 1: told Andy Dalton with J. J. Watt said, I don't
Speaker 1: think he actually saw it. I think if he saw
Speaker 1: it or heard it, he wouldn't have taken it so serious. Like,
Speaker 1: come on, bro, you just lost, okay, and if y'all
Speaker 1: had won the game and he said that, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: even have cared. I'm gonna keep it a buck with you, Mike.
Speaker 1: That's what we do, right for those who don't know,
Speaker 1: A buck is one, which means keep it one hundred.
Speaker 1: So you got jjat after the game, okay. So they
Speaker 1: win the game and then he takes a shot at
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, which I feel you. I don't see
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with it. Like I thought it was a
Speaker 1: little w w E, you know, because you just you
Speaker 1: just won the game and then you go out there
Speaker 1: and you take a shot at the quarterback. But here's
Speaker 1: what this league is about right now. It's about being
Speaker 1: politically correct. Right, so people might frown upon an individual
Speaker 1: going that extra mile to kind of mush the opponent's
Speaker 1: face in the sand, mush his face in the dirt.
Speaker 1: So for me, when I heard it, I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: j J, like I feel you. I'm good with that.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. The question I posed to you, Mike,
Speaker 1: is if that was any other player, what they get
Speaker 1: backlash if that was Richard Sherman or Dez Bryant. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know or I don't think so. I think it's
Speaker 1: more like. I think it's more like, um you talk
Speaker 1: about it was w W E ish a little bit.
Speaker 1: It's entertainment. That's what we do. First of all, we
Speaker 1: we played, We entertained. We go on that stadium, whether
Speaker 1: it every time a camera is on your entertaining. You
Speaker 1: think Clay Matthews or or even J. J. Wat fenses
Speaker 1: when he does his sack dance and all is waving
Speaker 1: the hair and this, You think they don't know the
Speaker 1: cameras are on them. Come on, they know what they're watching.
Speaker 1: I know it's entertaining. You're talking to a receiver that
Speaker 1: practiced his celebrations in the mirror the night before every game.
Speaker 1: But they and I threw shots. I threw shots out
Speaker 1: there during the week. I threw shots out there post games.
Speaker 1: So I love what you I think. So my thing
Speaker 1: is Andy Dalton, get out your feelings, bro get out fels,
Speaker 1: get out your feelings, okay, and just own up like
Speaker 1: a man. What were Tom Brady some of these other
Speaker 1: accomplished quarterbacks with the cam new what would he would
Speaker 1: have said, Hey, man, they win the game. I think
Speaker 1: I think Tom would have been like okay, you would
Speaker 1: have laughed him like okay, but in the back of
Speaker 1: his head he's like, well, I'm gonna get you, bro yeah,
Speaker 1: take it that have the last laugh. I thought Andy
Speaker 1: was gonna cry something like because he was so mad,
Speaker 1: like you know how a little kid cry would get it.
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what I'm saying, like, why are
Speaker 1: you so? Are you so passed broke? Like yeah, and
Speaker 1: I think in the road session and you get that
Speaker 1: final roast, that's man, yeah, you gotta you gotta get
Speaker 1: out your feelings man. Like I think that most guys
Speaker 1: in the league today would have took that in stride.
Speaker 1: For me, if I was playing, I would have said, okay,
Speaker 1: what are you saying? Alright, bet and I would have
Speaker 1: threw some shots out, not anything personal, but just doing
Speaker 1: a little something else entertainment. Yeah, but they check this
Speaker 1: out though, what's up? Copycat? Ye? Now we know we
Speaker 1: could get it at come on, I'm saying something, get trash.
Speaker 1: That's how I talk trash. So my talking trash is
Speaker 1: like this, Nate I knew if I'm gonna pump return
Speaker 1: and you're gonna put your backup linebacker, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I already know how you thinking. I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to be playing right So before the between players or
Speaker 1: whatever we're talking, I'm like, hey, bro, how you doing.
Speaker 1: You know you're supposed to be starting? Why they got
Speaker 1: that bump? Start gamesa hashtag mind game? You know what
Speaker 1: you white? Mike Rock Now you got him, you got
Speaker 1: him off. You're thinking about something aside from the place
Speaker 1: exactly now the whole time we're talking going down the field,
Speaker 1: you know, chicken fighting a little bit. But my block
Speaker 1: is being I getting a plus on the on the
Speaker 1: on the score sheet. You feel what I'm saying, It's
Speaker 1: different ways to get that. People. To me, Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: showed the weakness in his arm. It goes deeper than
Speaker 1: just responding to what you're saying that other teams saw
Speaker 1: Andy's response. Check this Arizona Cardinal game out Sundays. Campbell,
Speaker 1: my boy, Dwayne Buchanan tyromatic. They're about to be in
Speaker 1: this grill. I think you heard it. Now, come on, man,
Speaker 1: so many it's deeper than It's deeper than it's deeper
Speaker 1: than wrap. Now I feel you though, like you just
Speaker 1: said something I didn't I didn't think about. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: there there are other teams that are watching this whole
Speaker 1: thing go down. J J. Watts comment Andy's response and
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden there saying, oh, Andy might
Speaker 1: be a little sensitive. So you know what, I might
Speaker 1: throw a little jab out there during the week, but
Speaker 1: during the game, I'm gonna throw some more jabs out there.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to get him so distracted that he's
Speaker 1: not focused on his task at hand, or play tight
Speaker 1: like they did, uh this past week again, I mean,
Speaker 1: like like they did against Houston. You heard in all
Speaker 1: of Tyler Eiffels, who had a lot of drops. You
Speaker 1: heard and all these all these guys interviews saying, oh
Speaker 1: after I dropped one, Oh, I kind of was focusing
Speaker 1: too much. I kind of was pressing too much. And
Speaker 1: he dalesn't even look like he was pressing someone, you know,
Speaker 1: pass as we saw these guys mate right, So again,
Speaker 1: to me, it don't look like disrespect from J. J. Watt,
Speaker 1: it looked like pure jays. I mean, come on, man,
Speaker 1: you're playing the game, You're competing, Okay, all right, we
Speaker 1: all had no problem. Let's let's circle back to Cam
Speaker 1: Newton and let's let's revisit that, you know, him celebrating
Speaker 1: a player right from the time I got a question,
Speaker 1: you guys dumping around here in real quick, so Cam, right,
Speaker 1: let the school have thought out there that Cam is doing. Essentially,
Speaker 1: he's bringing like the NBA type filthy NFL and some
Speaker 1: people don't like that. Some people don't like the whole
Speaker 1: you know, t you say NBA field, right, yeah, let's
Speaker 1: just be I mean, let's keep in one hunting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: most of the NBA a lot of black dudes with
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Who's gonna show that they got
Speaker 1: a lot of money? Okay, right, okay, I mean, and
Speaker 1: that's the field. It's more herb and it's more hip
Speaker 1: hop is I mean, come on, you got you got
Speaker 1: rappers and stuff that talk about. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: it's I love what Cam is doing. I love it.
Speaker 1: Some people don't, though, you know that's what so so,
Speaker 1: so what's your question to I'm saying, like, you know,
Speaker 1: what would you say to those people? Like? Essentially, because
Speaker 1: again Cam's on those guys. He hangs out with Lebron
Speaker 1: when he can wait. He sees all that he wants
Speaker 1: to essentially have that sort of fame and a personality
Speaker 1: around the NFL, and some people just don't like that
Speaker 1: with the NFL. Isn't it isn't isn't uh isn't isn't
Speaker 1: you know? Yeah, the first right in the culture, right,
Speaker 1: And he said that hip hop and sports are so synonymous,
Speaker 1: right because they are. You know, we want to be
Speaker 1: them and the entertainers and entertainers want to be here.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. You know, we're gonna we're gonna go
Speaker 1: deeper than just the surface, right because I could sit
Speaker 1: here and say, oh, well, you know, this is what
Speaker 1: we do. But as a culture, as black people, we
Speaker 1: dance bro yes, okay, dating all the way back, dating
Speaker 1: all like we dance, and we celebrate, celebrate our achievements.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into tyros here. So we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna come back to that. We're gonna we're gonna get
Speaker 1: ready for so we got our first guest. Oh, we

Speaker 1: arm Be Podcast. Congratulations from being our first official guests.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I got I gotta ask it.
Speaker 1: I gotta ask this question. I know you're from the
Speaker 1: Virginia from the crib seven five seven, Come on, man,
Speaker 1: keep it one hunting. How does it feel to be
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback on a team that's so hot right now?
Speaker 1: Do you waited your time and now you got to
Speaker 1: keep it one hunting? Bro? How does it feel to
Speaker 1: be doing your thing right now? It definitely feels good. Um,
Speaker 1: But like I've said before, it's never about me. List
Speaker 1: a team that for each and every week and we're
Speaker 1: taking it one game at a time. We know, Uh.
Speaker 1: Moving forward, h GM is going to get even more
Speaker 1: important for us. Talk about um and me and you
Speaker 1: and I when we sat down and we talked about
Speaker 1: it a little bit too. Um. You know, obviously the
Speaker 1: black quarterback or the movement quarterback, it ain't even black
Speaker 1: quarterback anymore because you've got Johnny Manzell out here the
Speaker 1: movement quarterback. You see what I'm saying. Seriously, I'm being real, Uh,
Speaker 1: talk about some of the some of the struggles that
Speaker 1: you had to overcome as far as like people labeling
Speaker 1: you maybe as a wide receiver or runner or guy
Speaker 1: who only uses his legs. I mean, dude, You're passive
Speaker 1: rating is one of the highest in the league. Man,
Speaker 1: you could throw the football. Talk about kind of overcoming
Speaker 1: some of those challenges definitely, Um, when you're able to move, Um,
Speaker 1: they definitely try to laby you as a runner. Uman.
Speaker 1: You have to prove yourself that you can that you
Speaker 1: can pass from the pocket, and that's something that you
Speaker 1: have to take in teach k and it's something that
Speaker 1: motivates me. Um. Coming out into the draft, only one
Speaker 1: team and asked me anything about wide receiver. And Uh,
Speaker 1: if you listen to O there's people other people tell
Speaker 1: that you would think that everyone asked me about it,
Speaker 1: but that wasn't the case. Um, I've always been looking
Speaker 1: at as a quarterback. I've always played a quarterback. Then
Speaker 1: finally get an opportunity to go out there and do
Speaker 1: it on Sundays now alright, ty Rod, So Mike talked about,
Speaker 1: you know, overcoming and being patient and waiting your time. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, for a lot of people, you're new on
Speaker 1: the scene, but you know we know as football players,
Speaker 1: this isn't your first rodeo. You've been around for a
Speaker 1: while and you've had to, you know, remain patient in
Speaker 1: your efforts to get your opportunity. You know, this is
Speaker 1: the RP podcast, bro, So really I want to know, um,
Speaker 1: for you know, young quarterbacks, white, black, whatever, and they're
Speaker 1: sitting behind somebody, how hard was it to be a
Speaker 1: young quarterback in this league where you didn't know when
Speaker 1: your time was gonna come. Definitely hard, Um, And it
Speaker 1: was humbling for me first time in my in my
Speaker 1: career that I had to sit and watch. I had
Speaker 1: to learn from a different perspective, and UH learned a
Speaker 1: lot from Joe Um. I learned a lot from the
Speaker 1: three coordinators that we had in my four years there,
Speaker 1: and I learned a lot from the from the leaders
Speaker 1: that we had in the locker room. You gotta find
Speaker 1: ways to get better at your game, even though you're
Speaker 1: not getting those game reps on Sundays. You have to
Speaker 1: get better in practice. Uh. You have to take your
Speaker 1: preseason games and treat them like playoff games because you
Speaker 1: never know when the opportunity may hit during the season.
Speaker 1: So you just gotta take every rep and try to
Speaker 1: maximize it. You know, That's what I tried to do,
Speaker 1: and I just tried to batter myself feaching every time
Speaker 1: I stepped on the field. Ty rod Man, you're talking
Speaker 1: about backup quarterbacks and waiting your time or whatever. One
Speaker 1: of your homies Colin Kapper, that he's a backup right now.
Speaker 1: He was a starter, now he's a backup man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hear you. Guys have worked out together. When you
Speaker 1: look at his situation, man, Um, have you talked to him?
Speaker 1: Have you given any words of encouragement? Because that is
Speaker 1: a tough spot being the starter now you're the backup?
Speaker 1: What do you What are your thoughts on that whole situation.
Speaker 1: Definitely a tough situation. I haven't really had a chance
Speaker 1: to keep up with it. Men, Colin are very good
Speaker 1: friends and we talked um here and there. Um, But
Speaker 1: it's tough. During the season. Um uh might played as
Speaker 1: loaded just as well. It is just too so it's
Speaker 1: kind of hard. It's kind of hard to try to
Speaker 1: keep up with everything. But definitely know that he's going
Speaker 1: to continue to keep working on this craft and when
Speaker 1: now presented something, he'll go back out there and show
Speaker 1: what he can do. Ty Rod. You guys play the Patriots,
Speaker 1: and obviously when you think of the Patriots, you think
Speaker 1: of Tom terrific Brady, you know, one of the qbs
Speaker 1: you looked up to Um you know and motivated you
Speaker 1: throughout your career that you know. The the question is one,
Speaker 1: why did you look up to him? And is there
Speaker 1: parts of your game that you try to emulate? You
Speaker 1: know that that Brady has I think growing up, UH,
Speaker 1: you definitely watched Brady his story first and foremost is
Speaker 1: UH as incredible people basically counting them off six yeround
Speaker 1: draft pick like myself and to be one of the
Speaker 1: greatest quarterbacks to play the game. It definitely UH something
Speaker 1: that stands out. But just his intensity, his preparation nation
Speaker 1: every week. It's definitely. Um definitely speaks up, speaks out
Speaker 1: and UH a lot the way to play the game.
Speaker 1: And you guys have the same birthday August three, same
Speaker 1: birthday and everything. You're a leo. I'm a leo to bro. Hey, listen,

Speaker 1: by the way that they dress anything. I mean, I
Speaker 1: like what I like, but it's not because a rapper
Speaker 1: is putting it on. I hear you. So, So you're
Speaker 1: from v A right from right and you consider Iverson
Speaker 1: a big brother. I had the pleasure of me Iverson
Speaker 1: I play in the celebrity game. Um. You know, most
Speaker 1: people that know him call him bubba Um. He's like
Speaker 1: a big brother to you. Right, what what have you
Speaker 1: learned from you know, watching him and uh in his career.
Speaker 1: And then what is he told you? Uh? First off,
Speaker 1: he's told me, Um that he's proud of me, but
Speaker 1: to go out and and play each game like in
Speaker 1: your last And that's how he played each and every
Speaker 1: game and his career. Um definitely like a big brother
Speaker 1: to me, and I leaned on him for advice. Um.
Speaker 1: He's mean through a lot off the off the court
Speaker 1: and on the court. And I can still canish much
Speaker 1: knowledge from those guys. The better off I So you
Speaker 1: said off the court, on the court. So do you
Speaker 1: consider yourself a hooper? Like? Do you got skills? Rob? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: he said it like he gave you the he didn't
Speaker 1: get me the business. First of all, because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: file him. I played fullback. Okay, you're so you're not
Speaker 1: a hooper? Mic, If I'm wide open, I'm training it. Okays,
Speaker 1: hooper's don't talk about the rod. We're gonna move on
Speaker 1: and let Mike ask this next question. But I catch
Speaker 1: you the all see, and I'm gonna give you that work. Bro.
Speaker 1: That's a challenge, Rody, and I'm gonna put on social
Speaker 1: media too to everybody I beat Tyrode in one on one.
Speaker 1: We were gonna, hey, ty Rod, one last question for me.
Speaker 1: Man again, you're the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: Has your life changed any I mean, keep it, keep
Speaker 1: it funky, man, I mean you, I know, I know
Speaker 1: you try to live in a bubble during the season,
Speaker 1: but there are some privileges that come with being a
Speaker 1: start quarter you know what I mean. Yeah, I just said, uh,
Speaker 1: I try to minimize everything on the season. I keep
Speaker 1: everything focused on football, don't really pay attention to the
Speaker 1: to the stuff outside of that. Each and every week
Speaker 1: is a challenge in itself. So pretty focused on football.
Speaker 1: So I already don't get a chance to live outside
Speaker 1: of that puble. Okay, I'm gonna ask you that in
Speaker 1: the off season, after you get a chance to have
Speaker 1: a whole year. I just started quarterback. I see a
Speaker 1: little smirk in your face. We could keep it politically
Speaker 1: correct here for a little bit. It's all good. Right
Speaker 1: Before I let you go, I'm gonna ask one last question. Um,
Speaker 1: you know you are starting quarterback in this league, and
Speaker 1: you know some would say you made it. I know
Speaker 1: you're a humble athlete, so you would say I haven't
Speaker 1: achieved what I wanted. Yet what are the goals for
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor? I want to get better each and every
Speaker 1: week first and foremost. Um, it's a lot of people
Speaker 1: uh that I felt passing me up on draft there
Speaker 1: and that definitely still motivates me, um on a daily basis. UM.
Speaker 1: So every time I get a chance to to go
Speaker 1: out and show what I could do, UM, that definitely
Speaker 1: is something that sticks in the back of my head.
Speaker 1: But to continue to get better each and every week,
Speaker 1: better my team, and uh ultimately take this thing to
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And that's that's our goal. UM. We gotta
Speaker 1: take it one game at a time. That's dope. Man

Speaker 1: keep keep talking about that. Really, this is that real.
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to curse. Let's bring it back. So
Speaker 1: let's get into it man, bring it back. Hey, that's
Speaker 1: what's up, bro, that's my dog Jo. We had our
Speaker 1: first talk back. You remember when we was doing that
Speaker 1: and we were doing that with Major networks. He did
Speaker 1: that for us R and b podcast. We gotta get
Speaker 1: everybody a shout out. We gotta get TV obviously, we
Speaker 1: gotta get Marcus our man, who's our connect you know.
Speaker 1: Thugg thuggers back. We got in the building thug a
Speaker 1: thugger back. Oh, he gotta right some tracks. We gotta
Speaker 1: right some tracks. I think holding out on us what
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Man, let's talk about this Elvis Doomerville thing. Man,
Speaker 1: his he had the unnecessary face mask. Actually, at the
Speaker 1: end of the game, at the end of the game,
Speaker 1: have you ever felt that you know that it was
Speaker 1: your fault that Okay, so so let's be clear. Okay,
Speaker 1: you will look at that game and say it was
Speaker 1: his fault they lost. But as a football player, you
Speaker 1: know that there's plays throughout the game that easily changed
Speaker 1: the complexion, right, so they could have won the game before.
Speaker 1: It's what I'm saying, like, you don't obviously take on
Speaker 1: you know, all of the you know, responsibility for losing
Speaker 1: the game. But when you make a mistake at the
Speaker 1: end of the game, you feel bad, you know, because
Speaker 1: you gotta stand up, put your ten toes down and say,
Speaker 1: you know what, I messed up. And it's the last
Speaker 1: thing people saw prime example, I'm in Detroit. We're playing
Speaker 1: against the Giants in New York, and you know, we
Speaker 1: talked about celebrations earlier. I was like, what am gonna
Speaker 1: do when I get an a zone? Because I knew
Speaker 1: I was gonna get an a zone. Bro articulate. So
Speaker 1: I get an end zone, right, I catch a favor route.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, on the left side of the field,
Speaker 1: I do the statue of Liberty, so you know, I
Speaker 1: put my hand on my chests, I put the ball
Speaker 1: in the air. You know, it's just a little shout
Speaker 1: out to New York, you know. Uh. So I'm feeling myself.
Speaker 1: I'm having a good game. We got a chance to
Speaker 1: beat them. I think we're down, you know, a touchdown,
Speaker 1: actually might be down three points. All we needed was
Speaker 1: a field cod basically at the end of the game,
Speaker 1: you know, and and and I catch a ball. It's
Speaker 1: a drive route that I catch on the other side
Speaker 1: of the field because I'm still running, so I'm trying
Speaker 1: to make a move. Dion Grant, who I played with
Speaker 1: in Seattle, what's my dog? Good dude? He hits me
Speaker 1: and I go down. And as I'm going down, the
Speaker 1: ball slips out and it falls underneath me, right, So
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not really tripping because I'm I'm down.
Speaker 1: I thought that I got down before a hip or
Speaker 1: knee hit down. Um, so he, you know, being reactive. Um,
Speaker 1: he puts his hands on the ball. He's like wrapped
Speaker 1: around me, and I'm like, what is he doing? I
Speaker 1: haven't heard the whistle yet. And then the ref comes over.
Speaker 1: He sees that he has possession of the ball and
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, you know, changes change the downs, turnover
Speaker 1: the Giants ball. Basically two minute drives over, they run
Speaker 1: the clock out, victory offense, and we lose the game.
Speaker 1: So for me, I lost that game and it's the
Speaker 1: worst feeling. There is no other feeling in the NFL. Then,
Speaker 1: like a lasting play that was the one that changed
Speaker 1: the course of the game. Now we're talking about Dooomerville
Speaker 1: and that face mask and then he loses the game
Speaker 1: for his team. How bad is that? Mike? Well, you
Speaker 1: know they you know, obviously the NFL that said that
Speaker 1: the game that play wasn't even supposed to happen. It
Speaker 1: was illegal. They they were legal motion or whatever. It
Speaker 1: should have been a tense that can runoff. So you
Speaker 1: you know, you feel bad that that didn't happen. But
Speaker 1: every player on a losing team or a team that's lost,
Speaker 1: every guy that played felt like he made the play.
Speaker 1: That I mean, that's just in us. Think about it. Uh,
Speaker 1: Doomerville actually made the play at the end of the
Speaker 1: game that, yeah, may have costed him the game that
Speaker 1: everybody could see, right, But I'm sure the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 1: left tackle that gave up at the Baltimore Ravens Yeah, Uh,
Speaker 1: the left tackle that gave up a sack earlier, I'm
Speaker 1: sure he felt to you something, felt like he was
Speaker 1: the reason. Or if there was an interception at some point,
Speaker 1: I'm sure they felt like they were the reason. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, that's just ingrained in us. But
Speaker 1: the reason why I hurt so much, Nate, The reason
Speaker 1: why I hurt so much, reason why you was so
Speaker 1: upset and pissed or whatever, is because we put so
Speaker 1: much into this game, so much into this game. You
Speaker 1: know that pain that's like down in your stomach, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, when you just I can't get
Speaker 1: away from it, like when you lose some games, especially
Speaker 1: when you're the one who lost it, right, when you
Speaker 1: put so much into it. It hurts. So that's why
Speaker 1: training camp, that's why coaches spend so much time to
Speaker 1: get guys to jump all in, because it's scary to
Speaker 1: jump all in because you know what, if you jump
Speaker 1: all in, you just might feel that feeling that you
Speaker 1: felt when you felt like you cost the game, that
Speaker 1: Elvis Dumerville felt when he felt like he cost the game.
Speaker 1: But but there's no other way to be, Mike, if
Speaker 1: you're playing this game, if you're doing any job for
Speaker 1: anybody listening, whatever your job is, go all in. You
Speaker 1: can't tip your toes. Let's keep you gotta but keep
Speaker 1: it one hunted though over not over over, seventy of
Speaker 1: Americans hate their job. You see what I'm How many
Speaker 1: times have you lost in? Listen? How many times have
Speaker 1: you lost in the locker room? Right? And you see
Speaker 1: cats laughing and tripping and you come on, man, So
Speaker 1: we can't sit here and be naive and think that
Speaker 1: there aren't any players. Okay, we can't be naive, but Mike,
Speaker 1: we we got a voice. We could tell people, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you might not like your job, but you gotta be
Speaker 1: all in. There's there's a luxury and being overemotional because
Speaker 1: you're over committed to what you do. Because when you
Speaker 1: have joy, that joy feels better. Yeah, when you have pain,
Speaker 1: that pain feels worse. But when the sun shines, it
Speaker 1: feels good on you. But people are afraid of that pain. Okay,
Speaker 1: So our voices to tell him, don't be afraid. Dive
Speaker 1: all the way in with everything you got. I don't
Speaker 1: care what your job is, whether you're a custodian or
Speaker 1: you're starting quarterback in this league. You gotta dive into
Speaker 1: your job. You gotta be committed. Now, let me ask you,
Speaker 1: because you touched on something you talked about. Uh, they
Speaker 1: real quick on that, both of you, guys. Thrill A victory,
Speaker 1: ACONYR defeat? Which do you feel more? Oh? Which do
Speaker 1: I feel more? For me? The thrill, the thrill of
Speaker 1: victory is a beautiful feeling. And um, you know it's
Speaker 1: it's like a drug. So you know, you feel it
Speaker 1: and it's a quick high and you want it, you
Speaker 1: want it again. And so for me, it's it's fleeting
Speaker 1: and it comes and goes. And that's why we're addicts
Speaker 1: of the game, because you want that feeling the game, right,
Speaker 1: It's like it's like it's like being addicted to a drug.
Speaker 1: But the agony defeat is long lasting. It's like a
Speaker 1: death in the family. Prime example, Mike, you want the
Speaker 1: super Bowl, right? You play in the NFL for a
Speaker 1: long time. You know to some uh, you know, you're
Speaker 1: a superstar in your own mind. You've accomplished what most
Speaker 1: people haven't. You played college, you're a quarterback for back,
Speaker 1: You've done things in the sport of football that most
Speaker 1: people dream about doing. Do you still remember the losses
Speaker 1: you had nice school, every last one of them. That
Speaker 1: that proves my point right there. That proves my point.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna prove your point even more. To me,
Speaker 1: I feel the agonea defeat more because when I go
Speaker 1: into a game, I expect to win. When you win,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I'm happy, right, But it's like I
Speaker 1: expected to feel like this. I don't expect to be
Speaker 1: hurting and had that pain that we just finished talking about.
Speaker 1: I don't expect that because I put in the preparation.
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, my old quarterback, the separation is in the
Speaker 1: preparation when you're go into a game or your job
Speaker 1: or anything prepared to set it again, what the separation
Speaker 1: is in the preparation. The separation is in the preparation
Speaker 1: and we we you when you go into a game
Speaker 1: or anything like that, you expect to succeed. So to me,
Speaker 1: it's like at the end of the game we win,
Speaker 1: like you talk about the super Bowl and we beat
Speaker 1: when we beat the hell out of the Denver Broncos,
Speaker 1: which is peyton Man his last good year, which he
Speaker 1: should have tired at the end of that game, but
Speaker 1: he wanted it to come back. The breaks, the breaks
Speaker 1: off of them, you know what I mean. For that team,
Speaker 1: I was, I mean, I was excited about the wind,
Speaker 1: still am to, but I expected to win that game.
Speaker 1: I remember in my shot during the week before we
Speaker 1: watched film it only took us a quarter. It was like, oh,
Speaker 1: even the smoke, the dudes they can't they can't possibly
Speaker 1: hang and the smoke, they can't possibly hang. He was
Speaker 1: playing on a good team and some guys that don't
Speaker 1: play on good teams and still gotta expect that. You still,
Speaker 1: that's why. That's that's why Nate, that's why I go
Speaker 1: That's why I go around, and I know you do
Speaker 1: the same and talk to corporate ships to have the
Speaker 1: mindset we do. You have to have his mindset to
Speaker 1: even get here. Okay, all I feel you feel what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Well, speaking of the Seahawks, We're gonna get
Speaker 1: into that in a second. But TD, let me get
Speaker 1: one more. I'm fine, I see Oh hey this is that?
Speaker 1: Oh I like I like this, jarn I listened this
Speaker 1: before the game. It's putting me in a dark place
Speaker 1: right now. We don't want you to see how that
Speaker 1: bring that. Hey, hey, t D TTD spent this last
Speaker 1: week coming up, and you know, we get extra high
Speaker 1: when he did. That's the luxury he got when he
Speaker 1: brings these beats in. We're gonna, we're gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: wrap this up. But you talked about the Seahawks a
Speaker 1: second ago. Let's talk about the Seahawks. And I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say your Seahawks. If people think I'm not a
Speaker 1: Seahawk are used there, I'm an see all two. So
Speaker 1: let's talk about our Seahawks. Dude, I'm I'm nervous right now,
Speaker 1: Nate um, because what I do know is Pete Carroll's
Speaker 1: teams are built a certain way, tough defense, keep everything
Speaker 1: in front of you, knowing how to finish. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Offensively, running the football, not having pre
Speaker 1: snap penalties, not having penalties, not having that many penalties,
Speaker 1: taking care of the football. Everything you're naming, they're not doing,
Speaker 1: you know, getting turnovers, creating turnovers, finishing games, not giving
Speaker 1: up leads. But but look, it's not I tell you this,
Speaker 1: it's not for lack of effort, not for lack of
Speaker 1: They understand exactly the adversity that they're facing. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is a running shoot team. I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is a power team. I don't
Speaker 1: know if this is a read option team. I don't know. Identity,
Speaker 1: a West Coast identity. I don't know. You don't know
Speaker 1: their identity. And to be honest, I don't know if
Speaker 1: they necessarily know their identity. It's almost a search that
Speaker 1: they've been going on all season. Offensively, who are there?
Speaker 1: They brought Jimmy Graham. Man is Jimmy Graham an integral
Speaker 1: part of this offense? But they but they look a
Speaker 1: little bit bigger. Right, you had to pay the quarterback, right,
Speaker 1: you had to pay you, and he deserved to pay.
Speaker 1: I'm from Seattle. He had had what he's brought to
Speaker 1: my city. But but it's just the way these guys
Speaker 1: are paid now, Right, whoever is the next man up
Speaker 1: is going to almost break a record. Right. You don't
Speaker 1: have enough money to go around to put others around you.
Speaker 1: And if you don't have one of those two or
Speaker 1: three eight super elite quarterbacks that can just win a
Speaker 1: game by himself, you're gonna struggle once you start paying
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I eat Baltimore, Ravens, I e Seattle right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, once you pay the quarterback, you don't really
Speaker 1: have Litten. Let's let's let's cut to the point then.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask you, is this season a rap
Speaker 1: for Seattle? Should be focused on that? I'm not saying
Speaker 1: give up. I'm not saying you know. What I'm saying
Speaker 1: is this season lost? I have to play the Cardinals again?
Speaker 1: And are the Cardinal scared of Seattle? They're not. They've
Speaker 1: never been, and they've still taken else. Are the Rams
Speaker 1: scared of Seattle? Never been, but still taking els? San Francisco?
Speaker 1: This week? Who's they playing? They've never been scared of Seattle,
Speaker 1: but they've still taken els. It ain't about being scared, right,
Speaker 1: It's about Seattle doing what they're built to do. Right,
Speaker 1: Can they do that though much? Yeah, we've seen it.
Speaker 1: We've seen we've seen it in the past. This season
Speaker 1: seems to be different. Yeah, a little different anytime. Beast
Speaker 1: Mode only has what five or six almost seven carriers
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter. The game wasn't even out
Speaker 1: of hand. I don't know what type of team you are,
Speaker 1: and and and uh god, I just feel so bad
Speaker 1: for those guys because they're fighting. But I don't know
Speaker 1: what how else they can do it. They couldn't put
Speaker 1: anybody on the offensive line. They didn't have enough money
Speaker 1: to pay them. They had to let guys walk. I hope,
Speaker 1: I hope they ball, man, because that's my city. Man.
Speaker 1: I love Seattle. Man. We gotta get up out of here, man.
Speaker 1: But I got more. I got more to say, Man,
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll talking about We're talking about them more. Speaking
