Speaker 1 (00:00):
Like Bill, like it's not as if like everything's rosy.
I mean, oh my god, man, we do this one
more time. We're not gonna win a fucking game. It's like,
all right, coach, we're sixteen and oh.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
But three time super Bowl champion, three time pro bowler
and ultimate prankster and Matthew big Bear gulch light.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
I was the first guy off the field. I was
the first guy showered, and I was the first guy
at the bar. That's what was important. I heard that story.
Once you went into his office and what'd you do?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
So I had this mouse.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
When you hit that mouse button, it would send like
Jesus through your body real quick. And so I go
in and I put that thing on his laptop on
his desk. You know how many times Rabel would have
Tommy Boy on tilt during practice.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
And like hard shots. What's the worst thing Rabel has
ever said to Tom oh Man? And today we are
looking at twenty ten week sixteen Patriots versus the Bills.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Man, that was a special day.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
The most treasured thing that I own in my life
is an email exchange between Bill Belichick and I. I've
never spoken to anybody's ever received an email like Bill
doesn't do human stuff right, Like I got an email?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
What it was his email say? Games of Names is
a production of iHeartRadio. I'm Julian Edelman. They're Jack and Kyler,
and we are on the search to find the greatest
game of all time. On today's episode, we're covering Week
sixteen of the twenty ten season Patriots versus the Bills

(01:40):
with three time Super Bowl champion, three time Pro Bowler,
Patriots Hall of Famer and ultimate prankster Matthew Big Bear
gulch Light. That's right, King of the pranks, you guys,
you'll hear this dude is wild, nobody wild.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
No one saying them for three weeks to see what
he did.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
To us exactly, we get into getting snowed in a
Buffalo h This was a crazy game. You'll understand why
where we went after the crazy night of clinching once
again the division in Buffalo, Matt's infamous pranks around the

(02:25):
locker room. This guy is a prankster, prankster and what
it's like getting an email from Bill Belichick. You're gonna
want to hear this. He said, this is the only
thing that he will ever want.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Like the one thing that if his house burned down
or if he lost everything that he'd want to save
is this email correspondence, this correct back and forth.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
How quickly he was able to pull it up twenty
years ago.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Quickly insane?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I mean he probably reads a daily for innovation. It
is our thoughts on the TV twelve roast, Tom Brady
roast on it was up there, Matt Light was there.
And then we wrap it up with hitting the old hotline.
Let's get into it.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
December twenty six, twenty ten, Ralph Wilson Stadium, Buffalo, New York.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
With twelve and two Patriots are on a mission to
clinch the division, but.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
The Bills and their Lake Effects snow have other plans.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
This is a Dinosaur for life game. Who welcome to
Games with Names. We have a very special guest, Big
Bear Gulch. Matthew Light from Purdue. Welcome to games and names.

(03:55):
That's Jack, that's Kyler. And today we are looking at
two week sixteen Patriots versus the Bills. Why this game, Matt,
It's a great question.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
First of all, if you asked me about any details
of any game at any point, I'm gonna know next
to nothing.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Nothing.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
I have no idea. I look back on my career, man,
I can't tell you a specific moment of anything versus
like what you and like people that actually touch the
ball and do like athletic shit like you guys could
tell me exactly what the coverage was. You know what
you did all you know, I adjusted my route on
this thing, and oh yeah, that was when I caught
that I was with fourteen yards and and oh that

(04:37):
was a big pivotal moment a game like we don't care.
I don't care about any of that, dude. I was
the first guy off the field, I was the first
guy showered, and I was the first guy at the bar.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
That's what was important. I'm gonna have a good time.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
And so like literally, you know, to sit here and
come up with a game like the first one that
came to mind was you know what I want to
talk about. I want to talk about when Crowder and
I got ejected in Miami having fun and I was like,
wait a minute, no, no, no, no, there was one that
was a little bit more like your era. This game
what happened afterwards and to me and I know you're

(05:10):
the same way, but again, you you played the game
from a different perspective, Like your mindset was completely different.
Like you can remember a lot of really cool things
that happened because you actually were involved with them, while
I was like, you know, basically trying to just catch
my breath and you know, not fall down. But this game,
in particular, what it represents to me is what most

(05:32):
of us seek as players after you retire, and that
is the camaraderie, the little things that happened in the
locker room during practice, during training camp, the busting of balls.
Because to be honest, man, that's why I was in it.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
You know this. So what happened after the game, Well.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
It wasn't normal. I can tell you that much. So
you know, I always just tell people that, like what
was it like being in a league and what was
it like? You know, such a Belichick, But yeah, man,
nine percent of it was freaking brutal.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
We ain't basketball baseball where you get to go on
road trips.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
You have there slapping each other in ass having a
great time right before game time. Oh no, like we're
sitting there like running in the walls. Guys are like
doing lines of cocon.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'm just kidding. They never did that, but it was like,
it's such.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
A high that everybody's assholes tight, everybody's freaked out, puckered,
and especially when you have a guy who literally has
no sense of humor, like Bill, Like, it's not as
if like everything's rosy. I mean, oh my god, man,
we do this shit one more time. I mean, what,
We're not gonna win a fucking game. It's like, all right, coach,
we're sixteen and oh but.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I feel like we're doing pretty good now. Something just
came into my head. Bill used to he was notorious
for fucking quizziness on spot, and I could have sworn
Matt Light was sleeping in a meeting and Bill tried
to catch Matt and he goes, Matt, you got all
the fucking answer.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Exactly what he said. Actually, I was just gonna say that.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Man, you got all the fucking answers. What coverage is that?
And hit? You hit the coverage? What was it like?
Two blit zone two C.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
It was like the square root in a triangle is
equal to the I'm like, and everybody turns around. They're like,
because they know I sleep, Like you know I sleep.
I slept through every meeting and I don't honestly my
wife was like, you're gonna get fired. Like my first year,
I remember Dante Scarnekia, my line coach, would make me
stand up in the meeting room when we had our
offensive line meetings, and I would fall asleep eating a

(07:34):
candy bar, trying to stay awake eating a candy bar,
fall asleep standing and he would be like like if
you if you fall a sleep one more time, I
will kill you. And I'm like, oh man, like I'm
a rookie. I didn't know what was happening on that
one though, so this is the greatest right, so notorious
sleeper Copan would kick me. He sat right behind me.
He would always feed me the answer too, because I
have not fuck, I don't know what Bill just said.

(07:55):
I was asleep and so and by the way, like football,
like yes, a bunch of the Anderthals, but like I
don't need to watch that seven hundred times, like all
we do is sit rewind, watch, rewind watch. So on
this one, if you think on that season, we had
a bunch of young guys and defensively, as you know,
the defense could get everything. You know, Bill would be like,

(08:15):
all right, look, you know, you know what do we
expecting you know, he'd be talking to the offense in
this situation, what are we expecting them to do? I
mean it's third down, we're in a red zone. I mean,
you know, we got you know, whatever, we got trips,
you know. And and he'd ask somebody a question and
it'd be like a really difficult question and we would
come up with an answer that's pretty good. He'd be like, Ah,
I'm not what the fuck you know, that's not what
they're gonna do. I mean, god damn it.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
You know.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
I'd be watching an ounce of film and then he
would go to the defense and he'd be like, all right, guys, like,
what's one plus seven? And they'd be like, uh, six
and a half and they like that's pretty close, pretty good?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
All right? Now, moving on?

Speaker 6 (08:49):
What are we talking about?

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Coach? Like those guys that have no color the jerseys, right, Like,
he would give you some fucking terrible you'd give the
easiest questions. He's fucking defensive guys, and they.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Always got to pass every time. So I'm listening to
this and I'm like, these cats have no idea. And
Bill's kind of pissed off. Like we had a couple
of weeks of coming in and I want some answers.
It's a Wednesday morning, right, and you better have my answers, right. Well,
they weren't having this, so I go on my way out.
But I don't know why. I just had this this epiphany,
and I walk into Coach's office, which is always awkward,

(09:23):
like you don't go in there just to go in there.
Oh no, and you got to pass Bears, the little
man purse right there at the front, right, and I
love Bears, but you know, so anyway, I go in there.
Coach is working at his computer and he looks up
at me. He's like, you know, like there wasn't a question.
It was just like a you know, and I'm like uh.

(09:43):
And right then immediately I'm like why did I do this?
This is not gonna be I'm like, Coach, hey, listen,
I'm like, these guys don't have the answers. They're not
coming in with stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
I said.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
I thought it'd be funny if, like, you know, next
time we do this, like or the next Wednesday or whatever,
you throw me some questions and I'll just rat them
off and be like shit that even Brady wouldn't know.
And he's like, you know, all right, what what are
you thinking? And I'm like, uh, well, you know, like
you know, you you say something then I ran off
for an answer, and then you you try to hit
me with another one, try to catch me slipping, and
I'll just keep writing them off. And all the guys

(10:11):
are gonna in that way. Now they're gonna know, like, well,
I got to get in the film room. I need
if light knows this shit, then I really need to
do a little bit more studying. And it fell on
deaf ears.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
He was just like, you know, look, I mean you know,
like it wasn't like a hey, that sounds like a
great idea or that's really stupid. It was just like indifferent.
So I walked out of there thinking that that failed.
Three weeks go by it, I'm walking in and Bear's like,
hey Bill, what's to see? And I'm like, oh snap, what.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Did I do?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Like I totally forgot about the whole conversation, right, and
I'm not kidding. I walk in his office and immediately
he goes, all right, look, you know I'll hit you
with you know that you know what they're doing the
third down? And then I'm gonna I'm gonna talk to
you about, you know, when we get into the red zone,
you know what what that looks like. And then the
last one, I'm like, and he rattles off these three
questions he's gonna ask me, and I'm like, okay, and
I'm like, what's the answer, Like I have no idea,

(10:59):
Like you're speaking like I have no idea what you're
even referring to Bill? And he's like, oh well, So
I grab a pin and I start writing answers on
my hand and we go in team meeting kicks off
and he starts off with his typical I mean, you know,
in the category of what we're not looking for, and
it's some Bengals, you know, problem with some guy getting
the rest of the strip club or something. Always a

(11:19):
Bengals player, right, I swear to God, Always a Bengals player.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
And then then he looks learned the Bengal formation. The
f was all the way and the inside because he
was in jail, in.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Jail, easy way to remember that. So when he asked me,
when he says, exactly what you said, all right, like
you got all the fucking answers, all right? Here we go,
what are they doing this? And I literally just rattled
off immediately. I remember I could hear the air come
out of coping, and he's like, shit, he's awake. And
I didn't even know that one. So the next one
he throws out there, immediately answer that one, and the third one,

(11:49):
I'm like literally looking at my hand, of course. And
so when it's done and we leave the team meeting room,
I remember the guys coming up to me and they're like,
what the fuck. I'm like, heydud just get in a
film room, you know, like like I didn't acknowledge the
fact that Bill and I set that up. And you know,
here's the best part, Jules. I've never had a conversation
with Bill about any of the funny stuff that's ever

(12:09):
happened between him and I. I have the most treasured
thing that I own in my life as an email
exchange between Bill Belichick and I. You ever get an
email from Bill Belichick ever in your history of text message? Okay,
but never an email. I've never spoken to anybody that
I've ever played with, or it came after me or
before me, that's ever received an email. Like Bill doesn't

(12:30):
do human stuff right, Like that's a that's like a
like a human thing to do, like send an email. Yeah,
I got an email.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
What was his email saying? So I was a rep?
Right and I was in Hawaii the way. Let me
let me paint the picture for everyone out there. Light
was a rep, a union rep. And Bill took all
the everything out on the reps because they represented the union.

(12:58):
And he hated like the limits, like you guys, figure
it out, what this fucking shit?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
And he couldn't do anything to us because he had
Rabel on myself and and like it look and by
the way, last night, let's just let's just pause for
one moment. First of all, why was the best roaster
I've ever been around in my life? As you know,
you war words with him, you're losing, Oh, I mean,
and I could hold my own in a storm. But

(13:25):
that cat, he's coming. He's a tidal wave of emotions.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
It's probably on purpose. He didn't want to cry. Tom
didn't want to.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Cry because you know how many times Vrabel would have
Tommy Boy on tilt during practice every time I mean
he got in his ship. It was funny. So but
I will say this props to you. Last night was
phenomenal and you absolutely crushed it, and I'm not gonna
lie to you, man, I was a little nervous for
all you guys. I was live on Netflix.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Man.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, Man, you didn't even stretch.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I don't want no pregame routine. I didn't see it
taking energy shake. Just nailed it.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
But that was all.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
But Vrabel is the best I've ever been around, man.
And the fact that he wasn't there, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
In like hard shots, there weren't a whole lot of
functions ever said to Tom oh Man.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
He went at him with everything.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Man.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
There was nothing sacred to Vrabel for any reason. I
will tell you this. One of the favorite lines I
ever heard Rabel say that was directed towards me is
we had a stag night to raise money for the
Light Foundation in my hometown, right and we stopped doing
it because I thought, Man, there's gonna be a lot
of kids born in my little hometown that don't belong
to these daddies, and so I was like, we're gonna

(14:38):
and I'm telling you it became a little crazy. But
Rabe would come in town with all these other guys.
We had aj Hawk when he was at Ohio State
and younger cats too right, and the mayor of my
little town, now you got to think Mayberry right. And
he gets up and he has this proclamation where he's
gonna make it matt light day, right, and he stumbles
on some words. An hour later, Rabel gets up and

(15:00):
we're having an auction and he's like, hey, and you
know when he gets the mic, man, it's gonna be
it's gonna be profound, and it's gonna be hilarious. He
stops everything and he goes, listen, I'll give anybody one
thousand dollars right now, they can get the mayor to
spell matriculate, because he tried using that in a sentence
and he stumbled over it and in real time, man,
it was really uncomfortable, but nobody said nothing. An hour later,

(15:23):
Vrabel has it up there on the auction block.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
I'll give you a thousand if you can get the
mayor Greenville' spell matriculate. And we lost it. But that's
our boy, man, that's a funny, very funny man, fucking.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
So so so so yeah. So he wouldn't mess with
us as reps very much. But I get home from Hawaii,
long ass flight Hawaii.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
It was the union meetings were there.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
And so I was the guy that they got him changed.
I passed the resolution saying if I want to Hawaii,
I go to Hawaii.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
I don't want to fly all the way Hawaii. Why
don't we do this in the States.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
We got all these you know, and dude, I think
half the island wanted to kill me because that was
a big revenue. But anyway, noither here nor there. I
get home and this is like way before, you know,
we live in this crazy time now where like we
think it's always been the way it is. I mean,
back up ten years ago. Man, I wasn't checking emails
from my cell phone.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
I had make sense. Yeah, but you've got somebody that
will I never know what she's doing that, what is
she doing? What does she do? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
So I get home, I got Jay, I've got whatever
it is like Microsoft whatever, And I get on my
thing and I'm checking my emails and there's an email
in my inbox Belichick Commo Bill and I'm thinking to myself,
you know what I thought immediately, Thank god, finally one
of my offensive linemen is busting my balls.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
All the stuff I've.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Done, and nobody's really come at me. And then when
I read it, I was like, Coping, you son of
a gun, because he's the only one smart enough at
the time that would have done this. So I spend
all night, like I got home at like, let's say,
ten thirty, and I missed the whole first week of
the offseason program because because I was at the meetings,
I had to go. So the next the next day

(17:17):
was Monday, so I'm gonna be jumping in a week late.
And I'm staying up till like one thirty in the morning,
and I finally find a service where I can send
an email and make it look like it came from
someone else, and I know this is how Copin did it.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
So I write one to Copin. You spent six hours
trying to forever, dude, forever.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
But by by the way, you know how it is, man.
You find one and it says it works, and you
test it and it doesn't work. You have to pay
for something. I'm like, this is stupid. Anyway, I found
one sent Coping an email walking the next morning, and
I'm ready to go toe to toe, but you know,
I'm never gonnadmit the shit. So when I walk past Copin,
immediately he's like, you send me an email, didn't you.
I'm like, did you send me an email? I'm like,
what are you talking about? And he's like, you know

(17:55):
what I'm talking about. I'm like, no, I don't know
what you're talking about, because he has to admit first
what he did, and then yeah, okay, let's talk about
it because that was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Cope, that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
We go in, we get our workout done, he doesn't
bring it up anymore, and then he comes back to
me right when we get done working out and he's like, hey,
you did send me an email. I'm like, no, I
didn't send you an email. He's like, that's great because
somebody send me an email and it looks like something
you would do.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
And I'm like, all right, well, if.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
I get an email that looks like some of you do,
I'll let you know right And now as I'm walking out,
we get done running right, and I'm walking out for
the day, I can't shake it. I'm like, he's not
messing around. So I see Bears and I walk in
his office and I'm like, hey, man, cause if it
wasn't Coping, there's no one else smart enough. Bears must
have sent it from Bill's email on behalf of someone else.

(18:39):
And the minute I say something, the bears. He's like,
oh no, Bill, send you an email. I'm like, come on, mail,
not my first rodeo.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Right.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
He literally gets up, goes into Bill's office he's in
the staff meeting, gets his computer to fire up, and
shows me in his outlook on the scent box the
email to me, and.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's the email.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
And I'm like like, immediately, I'm like, oh man, damn,
Like that goes up a notch. Right, I'll read it
for you. It's literally my prized possession.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
So I get this and now I'm like, oh, this
is legit. So I take like four or five days
because you know me, I can't like not acknowledge this.
I have to have some kind of a response. So
I send my response and immediately I get one back.
And the essence of what he sent back was We're
never going to do this again. Number one, because in

(19:31):
the in the subject heading it was concluding remarks, right,
no joke, no joke. That concluding remarks and and and
to this day, and what he wrote in there, I'm
telling you this, I could lose everything every Super Bowl
ring I could care less.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Man.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Possessions like that mean nothing to me.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
This you gotta read it, read it.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Get in there, man, text me and I got big
fat fingers. So we've never had a conversation. Bill Belichick
and I've never once spoken about this ever. So and
by way, I never break this out. It's one of
these things that he kind of has to be in person. Right, Okay,
So here we go, here we go. All right, So
just so you can see this, Saturday, April seventh, two

(20:13):
thousand and seven, at two thirty four pm.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Okay, so this is in undefeated season, yeah, going into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well that's here, yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Greed in the subject heading Greetings from the NEP Off
season Program. Exclamation point, all right, oh okay, here we go,
end quotes. It's how it starts, Not like hey, Matt
or just wanted to touch base with you, sir. It's
a chance for us all to bond and start putting
the wheels in motion for the following season. Left tackle
Matt light set in a recent interview, the foundation is

(20:45):
put in place at this time of year. What you
do in March, April, May and June. What's you do
in that mini camp in the passing camp. It has
a direct effect on the beginning of your season, and
you have to come out of the gate swinging pretty hard.
That's what we've been able to do around here. In
the quote bad right, that's.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Kool aid, it's a good quote.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, no kidding. I got asked by a reporter in
Hawaii about whatever I gave, the typical you know, do
your job speech. Right, Hey, Matt, just read this quote
from you dot dot What the fuck?

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Question Mark?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
And by the way, so you see like when I
see this, like, that's got to be coping. They're messing
with me.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
That's not real. And Bill doesn't send emails.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
We have over fifty guys here working out today, and
the one who isn't here does all the talking about
how important the offseason is. Figures a lot of your
teammates were concerned about you and asked why you weren't here.
But don't worry. We let them all know that you're
in Hawaii for a week. If you want to get
something productive done out there, why don't you have him
move this meeting to the week before all in Caps
teams start their off season programs. Question Mark, very respectfully,

(21:47):
Yours Bill, Belichick, head coach New England Patriots. Okay, so
when you got that, if you got that, you know
that's not it's from Bill Belichick. All right, So we've
been through this. You guys got the background. It took
me day and I did elicit a little bit of
help from a family member who's far smarter than me,
and I send him this now and again, I will say,

(22:08):
my wife from day one always told me you're gonna
get He's gonna fire you. Like, please don't do that, Matt,
Please please don't leave here with that device. Don't put
that on anyone's you know whatever. Don't shock, don't do
what you're thinking about doing every single day, because that
will get you fired. This one I did kind of
think may I was gonna get fired Coach b. I
thought that was awesome. That was a way to go right.

(22:29):
First of all, allow me to apologize for not responding
earlier to your prior email. It has been my experience
limited as it may be that a reflexive response did
not serve anyone well. Thus, I felt it necessary to
permit time to militate a more measured, philosophic response. As
you are certainly better aware than anyone. We as human
beings are not automatons. Rather, we stand as a compilation
of free will, rational beings. Given this, it becomes critical

(22:51):
to impose a measure of collectivism for the benefit of
the order. I realized that the concept of collectivism strikes
a measure of aberance and our rugged individualistic society. But
it is such a collective good that allows us all
to benefit. And it does not require a study of
the encannabulum to realize that both coaches and players gained
from a measured collective relationship with the financial bully pulpit
held by the owners. Given this, in despite my commitment

(23:11):
to the off season programs, I felt compelled to move
forward the collective good of the players through attendants of
the PA meetings. In a long run, it is generally
for the benefit of all. My commitment to this end
is in no way a negative reflection on my dedication
and commitment to optimizing my personal performance to the grace
advantage of the team. Your humble, free wild left tackle
Matt Lait. Now that said, I figured I covered all basises, right,

(23:33):
that's an email basis, and I'm good and I kind
of got off my chest. Why I felt like I
needed to be in attendance right like. It didn't seem
like that big of a deal. I had no idea
that this would be the response to that Gibberis and
I got to tell you, this is one of my
favorite things in life again. April eleventh, twenty seven, twelve
forty five pms like a midday email, midday weird concluding remarks,

(24:00):
You're gonna love this, Matt. I need some time to
let this one settle, but I'll start with this. Why
don't you consider dedicating yourself to having fewer mistakes and
not leading the team in once again being the most
penalized player on offense. Your numerous false start penalties and
evidence again at the Pro Bowl, and other transgressions like
tawning continue to make me think that your distractions off

(24:20):
the field affect your concentration on the field. My advice,
if you have an interest in improving your performance would
be to minimize your distractions and focus on maximizing your
physical development and technique in the off season program. That
one week really killed you. I continue to feel that
you were totally out of line commenting on the importance
of the program when you were not in attendance with

(24:40):
the rest of the team. Now this is what it
gets great. Finally, Matt, there is no need to use
multisyllable words in your email that neither you nor I know.
I am unimpressed.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
This will conclude my email exchange.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
And I will return to my efforts in trying to
do a better job and coaching this football team. As
for the PA meetings, don't worry about helping me. As
I have said many times, and I remind myself, the
best thing we can do for ourselves and our families
is win all in caps. Try to keep that in
your mind for in your quest for world peace. Sincerely,
respectful yours, Bill Belichick, head coach, doing purchase. That's it, man,

(25:19):
That's all I need in life, and we've never once
acknowledged it. I played for another four seasons and it
never came up in a conversation. Never or the fact
that I fired him and he lost all of his information.
That never came up, although he did stop me in
the hallway and he said, I like you ever go
in my office again?

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, what did you do? I heard that story once
he went into his office and what did you do?

Speaker 5 (25:42):
So?

Speaker 1 (25:42):
I had this remote right. And again this is back
in the day when this stuff didn't really exist. But
I was always surfing the net and it was a
mouse and it plugged in actually, but they didn't do
anything when you plugged in. You couldn't actually control the mouse.
But there were I don't know how you get this
much energy out of two triple A batteries, but those
two triple A batteries, when you hit that mouse button,
it would send like Jesus through your body, like real quick.

(26:05):
And so he was in a staff meeting was it
was in training camp, and nobody was there. So I
slip in and I'm on.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
My way out.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
They're still working really hard, trying to make us better.
And I go in and I put that thing on
his laptop on his desk. I come in the next morning,
you know, dying next killing me. It's like the start
training camp. I'm not even thinking about what I did
to night before. And Ben Bears is like immediately when
I walk in, he's like not good, like like seriously like,

(26:33):
and you can see in his eyes like the bear,
the Bears, the bear.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
He not good.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
And I'm like, what, but I know I know what
he's saying, right, but I'm like, what are what are
you talking about? Deny to you die? And he's like
just telling you. It's not good man. What happens is
not good. And I'm like, hey, look, I can't play
this game right now. I gotta go get ready. So
I walk into the meal room. And when I walk
in there, Matty p Is just got some toast or something,
and he turns around and he sees me and he's like,

(27:00):
you're an idiot. And I'm like what, I'm like, you
two and he's like, hey man, he's fired up and
because of your dumb ass, we spent like two more
extra hours here last night. And I'm like for what
and he goes, well, he goes, I know it was you.
And when he shocked himself. The first time he had
he had his hand off the keyboard. The second time

(27:21):
his hand hit the keyboard and it deleted his notes.
You know how he takes notes everything of everything, everything, Like, hey,
by the way, this is crazy, man. Here's here's a
great example. We're let's say we're playing the Jets and
it's it's it's Monday afternoon, so we're playing a divisional game. Right,
It's we're coming off a loss on the road, and

(27:43):
you know, we we have a two key players on
defensive went down. He'll go back in his notes and
do keyword search or something, and he'll find a scenario
that mimics that almost to a t. And then he'll
look and see, how did I address the team. Did
I go hard on him? Did I take it easy
on him? Did I push him? And how hard did
I push him? Did we practice a certain way? What
was the outcome? How did it come out?

Speaker 2 (28:04):
All that stuff gets analyzed.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Man, that's the craziness in the complexity that a lot
of people don't realize. I don't know how much that
weighs in his success or whatever else, but that's who
he is.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Right.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
So when now, by the way, first time he didn't
have his hand on a keyboard, the second time he
shocked himself, he did, and it closed in a program.
The way I look at that is you're an air repeater.
That the first one was my fault, second one that's
your fault. Now we didn't talk about that, but I
will say this. When he lost that, that was not
a good day because it wasn't like auto save apparently,

(28:37):
so all of his notes for that day apparently went
by by and what I thought was real, So I
wanted to go get my mouse, but I left that
thing in there.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Buddy.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Once I heard about that one, I was like, yeah,
that thing's going on. I mean literally he said something like,
I mean he stopped me. And by the way, Bill's
kind of like Tommy, like, I have no idea how
tim he got from one meeting room to the next.
I don't know if he floated in the atmosphere, he
like like became particles and just reappears like in weird places.

(29:06):
Obviously he didn't shower time. He never showered.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Never.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Nobody ever saw him in there weird.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Well, actually I see him a couple of times. He'd
have the two shower heads on him. Ember he would
be in the corner sometimes rarely shower heads. I'm like, dude, yeah,
I had two showers I know, and neither one of
those heads wanted to be pointed to him. No, seriously,
Like the water was like, he's he's hydrophobic, like it
like water doesn't like him. He got to think about it.
He probably goes to like his sick home where like

(29:34):
he's got like hydrogen based water.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
No, I'm listen I think he has every day. I
think so seriously, it's Alex little tiny hands, like, so
what did Bill say?

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Hey man?

Speaker 1 (29:51):
He was fired up. He basically told me if you
go in my office again, I will kill you. And
of course I did not. I'm like, coach, what are
we even talking about? He's like, you know exactly what
we're talking about. I really don't, I said, but I'm
gonna get some food here, I'll see in the meeting room.
And and but it was weird because Maddy p came
at me and so the Bears and I thought it.
I thought they were like flipping it on me right, like, oh,
we're gonna make him think that. You know, coaches really

(30:11):
fired up? No coaches because Dante was the last one,
because you know Dante doesn't mess around. Dante was real
matter of what did say, Like, He's like, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
That was a good idea.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
You probably shouldn't go in the head coach's office. And
I'm like you too, I'm like, I don't know what
you're even talking about.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
So did you deny it?

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Till day to forever forever? But that's the so again,
we didn't have a conversation about it. It wasn't like at
some point he came to me. It was like, hey,
that shit was kind of funny. You got me that
sh had hurt, you know, like we cool to acknowledge
any of this, Like, hey, remember that email you sent me?
Like that was funny. But there's a part of me
that believes, like what he reiterated on his concluding remarks email,

(30:48):
that he was kind of serious.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
You know what I'm saying that serious. He may have
been dead serious. He probably would try to kill you
if you went in his office again. I bet sure
he got cameras put in for that. Probably.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
You know, he probably had Brigs sitting there like with
like some Samurai sword waiting for me to walk in.
By the way, brit Briggs legit s a s yeah,
I mean a head of our security. I mean, this
dude was a legit miss leg Yeah. Did miss a
leg get bit by a shark or something? That was
always the rumor that because it was a swimmer.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah, it was like his shark took his leg off.
Guy's British too. Yeah, the meanest motherfucker you'll ever meet.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Hey, do you remember when he and I had a
serious confrontation Now in San Francisco. I don't think I
was there outside the meeting room.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I wasn't there.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Oh I think you had to have been when we
went back to back. We played to West Coast always
right before you got there, that's right though. Oh man,
it was great. So I had this girl that stole
from us and uh, she was like a babysitter, girl
that stole from you. Yeah yeah, like not not not
anything like that, but she was.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
She was.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
She was babysitting and she ended up taking like jewelry,
and she's like that. She came from a good home.
She had one of those sicknesses where she's like stealing stuff,
which I kind.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Of like that. It's kind of cool, you know what
I'm saying. Keep your eye on the green flag.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah yeah, listen, I won't I won't take nothing from me.
But she so we caught her on the cameras. Now
we're on the West Coast, and you know how they
always tell you, right like, hey man, if anything comes up,
give it to us. We'll offload it. We want you
to focus on football. So I kind of like doing
things on my own, right, But on this one, I'm like,
all right, we're far away from home. So Briggs is

(32:29):
there obviously running security, and I said, hey, may can
you just have your guys deal with this? And dude,
it was like the easiest thing in the world. Don't
tell the girl what we know she stole. Just interrogate
her and make her confess to what she took, right, like,
you know, like if you're going to introgate some mean
you don't let them know, like, hey, we know you
took this, this, this, and this, what else did you take?

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Well? No, I didn't take anything else. You got it?

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Like you make her spell out because if she doesn't
say all the stuff we know she took, we got
her on camera, then she's lying.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
It was like freaking the worst you know, detective work.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Ever.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
They get her in there and they basically literally say,
we know you took this, this exactly what not to do.
So I lost my mind. I'm like, hey, man, you
had one job like Bill does, and and and you know,
Briggs like, hey for you, And I'm like, I'm gonna
take your leg and beat you with that thing. And
that was the wrong thing to say, because actually I
love Briggs.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Briggs he is when you get to know what when
you're new he hates you.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Hates you, Well he's got it. That's like a whole
British thing, man, Like what false superior? Then you idiots?
You know, we own your country, Like no, you lost.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
The war revolutionary, Yeah you lost. Yeah we want part
up with the damn French.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
But but if your essays, man, regardless of whatever, beat that,
those guys are legit, real deal. And he was a
good man, So.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
What did what did? So you yelled at him and
San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
But Bill's Bill was coming down because we're getting ready
to go in the meeting room, and it was like
right at the start of like one of those days.
You know how weird it is when you're hotel and
you got team meeting in the big room and you
have these breakout rooms and we're sitting out there and
we're going at and Bill basically walks out. He's like,
all right, what what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I mean, what the fuck? And I was like, this
guy's an asshole.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
And the girl got away with him. Man, you know,
oh yeah, dude, scot Free. Hey, by the way, that's
isn't that our world?

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Right?

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Like, hey, you know we're not going to prosecute robbery.
Oh Okay, that's a good idea. I'm sure they'll quit.
By the way, the guy before Briggs was a madman,
Frank Mendy's who Frank got the boot and uh and
our boy Briggs. He came in when Frank chewed out
the wrong guy. He was like a Craft family member.
Frank didn't last night longer, No, no, good man.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
How about that Brady roast last night?

Speaker 1 (34:46):
There was a there was a part of me that wondered,
how is this gonna work?

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Live?

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Event live? Kevin, I will say, Man, as funny as
that dude is on everything I've ever seen, he nailed
it like last night, Man.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
And it was so impressive to watch those guys, like
the professionals, because I was watching the teleprompter the whole time,
like seeing are they going to hit it at this right?
And they would just like segue and do their own shit.
They would say the same thing in a different way
and then yes, like it's it's an it's fucking a skill.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
A true profession And as we were talking earlier, Man,
like those guys support each other so much, you know,
to me, mos, yeah, comics, like I think it's it's
probably one of the most intimidating things from a professional standpoint, right,
like if you're going to get to where you're well
known and recognized, but then to sustain it, right, and

(35:39):
and you think about like like in football analogy, right,
like winning back to back, that's really really hard to do,
right it We did it, and and you know it's
it's one of those things where we can we came
really close at other times, but to actually do it.
And so for these guys, some of these guys have
had hit it. I mean you think about a Dave
Chappelle who was there last night. You know, you think

(35:59):
about Bert and some of these new guys that have
been rising over the last five, seven, eight years, right,
how they do it? They do Jim Gaffigan was there
last night. I mean, all these iconic comedians and and
what was cool was that they were all throwing a
lot of love and a lot of shade to each
other because I think that even though they may be

(36:21):
competing for the same dollars or whatever, right and all
that there's the total love amongst all of them. Yeah,
and and and Kevin though, Kevin Man, dude, he was man.
If somebody did something like when Gronk grabbed the wrong
thing or when you know or when by the way,
you see him back that teleprompter up.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
I was like that.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
He's like, he's like, no, back back back, back, back back.
But if you were at home, you probably have no
idea none. That was just him being Kevin, but he was.
He was legitimate. The whole thing was great, though.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
I thought it was. The comics are kind of like
the linemen put in the work. Yeah, real sexy grinders.
Yeah yeah, all kinds of weird have had trauma. In
the words.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Bert would be a good lineman.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Though. Bert is a lineman.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yeah, he kind of. Yeah, but he's looked a little
skinnier than I thought.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
He's been working out. He's been working out, but like
he has Liman heart.

Speaker 7 (37:12):
Too much ego, too much, too much ego from Bert
to be a lineman. Yeah, we can say that he's
been here, Okay, friend of the show, friend of the show.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Yeah, yeah, he had my joke last night.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
By by the way, he was he was loving your set, man.
I was watching Bert, Bert, Tom all those guys are
loving you. You you you did knock out the park.
Like I said earlier, I was a little intimidated for you.
I was actually really worried about Gronk because he was
amped up and he starts getting a little jeer. You know
which way that golden retriever is going to go?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Man? He may yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Oh I love him by the way I took him hunting.
This was such a special moment and I can't wait
to get him out again. Although I don't think his
missus likes the fact that he goes out and kills
animals with me. But that's okay. We eat every one
of them. We shot this deer, he said, light of
He goes, he goes, you know how good wild game is.
I'm like, yeah, that's all I eat. He's like, oh man,

(38:14):
it's like really good. Have you ever had an elk?
I'm like, oh yeah, yeah, just butchered one the other day.
He's like, oh no, Kidney. He goes, I want to
go hunt with you. I'm like, all right, cool. So
I'm like, hey man, but you got to come out
and take some shots. We got to get your hunter
safety course all this stuff. He's like, no, no, I
want to watch you kill. That's really not you hunting.
But all right, so I got this this tag. We
go out, I shoot this deer, and my dog goes

(38:36):
to track it, right, because that's what he does. My
dog can't find it, and Gronk is wearing like zubas
and tennis shoes, and we had to go into like
the thick, gnarmally nasty thorns everything. So my dog finally
gets on this deer and we're trying to keep.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Up with it.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Gronk's like caught in a briar patch and he's like,
is there ticks. I'm like, yeah, there's a lot of ticks.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Man.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
I'm like, you better check yourself, like legit. And so
we finally get up on this hill and my dog
stopped barking. I've had it. I've had it. I do
have crowns. YEAHI bill noted that in front of the world.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
That was nice. I got one for him. I got
one for him. But we finally catch up my dog
the funk up? What do you say exactly? First of all,
he is lucky I didn't have the mic because I
would have had a field day with his ass that
one right now.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. So my dog we
get to this deer and Gronk and I witnessed my
dog jump on the back of this buck and ride
him down the hill and they're fighting and he's like,
we gotta save your dog. I'm like, I'm not going
anywhere near that. I'm like, you can go in there
and save my dog what you want, and it was
it was classic.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
He did.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
And then he actually helped gut it in the whole
nine and he I gave him whole bunch of steaks
off it and he got to eat his wild gay man,
good man, you're gonna come hunt with me at some point,
Not really that, that's kind of like.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
We did vesant hunting on that property. And then the
guy cooked a pheasant pizza or something with the oh yeah,
some good stuff. It is good.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
You take anyone else hunting, just uh, let's see Saturday,
before we flew out out here to La we uh
met up with Brew and his son.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
That was awesome.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Had a great hunt man turkey season.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I think I remember, didn't you like post up on
the Patriot property and take some fucking deers down or
something or was it a turkey?

Speaker 1 (40:33):
I pulled up and I hunted that property forever because
mister Kraft was like, I mean, look, he's like, I
don't know anything about what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
I'm like, all right, cool.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
It was like a green light, right, so I would
hunt right behind a stadium. Were that Lawtons Farm close
to that, right?

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:49):
And they're great people. I went in one morning and uh,
this is is before practice. This is before yeah, and
this is the off season. And uh, I go to
set up in. One of the security guys comes over, you,
like the guy with like the weird lazy eye.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
And uh.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
He's like, he's like, hey man, you can't be here.
And I'm like, huh, I'm like no, I'm gonna park
it over here. I'm gonna go in here and kill
this bird. I've roosted him last night, like I know
where he's at. And by the way, it's three in
the morning. It's dark, you know what I mean. So
and I got my backpack, I got my bow and
everything ready to rock. And he's like, no, Briggs said,
you can't be here now. That's just like and this

(41:26):
is the off season, right after that little kerfuffle. So
I'm like, hey, listen, because you know Briggs lives like right.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Around the corner on the property.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Yes, I said, if Briggs doesn't want me here, go
wake his ass up and tell him to come out
here because you're not stopping me. And I'm walking right there.
So I get my stuff and he's like kind of mumbling,
and I walk right in. I set my tent up,
I wait for it to get light. Bird gobbles flies down,
sits right next to my decoy. I shoot him, I
breast him out, I take him in. I always put
him in the fridge there in the meal room, and

(41:58):
actually some of the sometimes the chefs there would would
cook up some stuff for me.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
But anyway, as I'm eating breakfast, Bill walks in and
he's like, I mean, look, what are we you know,
what are we doing? You can't you can't have a
fucking weapon on stadium property.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
And I go what.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
I go, Hey Bill, this, I go, the reason you're
hearing about this is because you know, Briggs is a dickhead.
I'm like, I've hunted this thing forever. He's like, I
don't give a damn what you've done. You can't have
a weapon on stadium property. I go, Bill, it says
you can't have a handgun. You can't have a gun
on gon't. I don't shoot a gun. I had a
bow and arrow. He goes, this is awesome. He goes,

(42:35):
you want to argue with me about what the rules say.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
I mean, the guy's pretty good at knowing what the
rules are. I'm not gonna lie to here. And when he.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Said that, I started second guessing myself. I'm like, oh damn,
maybe it did say weapon. And so now the only
thing I can pivot to. I'm like, I'll go, I go, okay, Bill,
So I checked Jack Johnson and Tom O'Leary at the
door too.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
I go, these are deadly.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
That's my only thing I had, right, And I remember
the other guys that we're in the meal room, like
the younger guys. You're looking at me like, damn.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Dude, like that's your heck out. You probably shouldn't be
saying that.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
And Bill's like, hey, look, I don't want to hear
about it. Don't don't bring anything on here ever again.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
And he walked away.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
And I'm like, oh, man, that maybe i'd been a
great idea. But yeah, yeah I did. I had a
little little hunt that morning, and that may have been
the last time I did that.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
How did you stay on the pats for eleven years?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
I don't know, man, I don't know. Did you ever
see the did you ever see the video right before
one of the Super Bowls? Or were you there when
I did the Harry Carey.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
I saw the video. I remember, didn't you do like
a video around where he was like massaging you or something?
Or yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:40):
I think Rabel for the happy ending. And by the way,
I did that shot that because you know how the
again the defense with all their little perks. You remember
how they would show a funny video the night before
the game and they would have something and they would
all be cutting up, laughing over there while we're getting
dog cuss you guys suck and like having a great time.
So Bill came up to me, or it may have

(44:02):
been Maddy p one of one of the defensive coaches,
and was like, hey man, we want you to do
this video. We do a video for us. And I
used to always do Harry carry right, so it was.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
A Harry carry real quick. A Mike Rabel, you're a
good Maya. You're a good Maya. I love you, Rabel.
If you're bilk Hayes's off to sit youl anyway.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
If the boot were made of spare cheese, so we
would do that and have fun, right, And I did
that video, and I remember there's a security castle on
this he maybe I was on a treadmill for a while,
like half naked, and I don't even know why, like
it was just stupid stuff. And I remember I had
to get glasses. So there's a security guard that had
these big coke bottle glasses. And this is like right
before the Super Bowl, and like I'm trying to like

(44:46):
be serious, you know, like like I did take the
game serious, but they're like.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
Yeah, you got this vesus.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
I'm like, oh god, say the video cruise video. And
I remember the guy had to sit in a chair
and couldn't move because he couldn't see his like right here.
So this poor secure Guardy's just sitting there forever while
I'm wearing his coke bottle glasses doing some stupid Harry
carry bit. And I remember, thank god we won that
super Bowl because I remember mister Kraft apparently got ahold

(45:12):
of it and played it for all the people on
this private jet on the way home. Because I met
some of them. They're like, we watched this awesome video
of you on the way back to the super Bowl,
And I was like, what though, yeah, I don't know, man,
I think that's why they kept me. It wasn't my
stellar play.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
I can tell you that much. You didn't get cut.
You got cut. No, no, no, I'm just saying that.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
I think that's why I made it as long as
I did. Oh Bill was like, oh, he's gonna do
something stupid. Yeah, you know, fucking Bill.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Take us back to Ohio. What was the young man like?

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Like, I wanted to be a game warden until I
found out that they don't. They don't get paid very
much money. You know what's crazy? Man grew up in
a small little town Homa, Antioakley. Yeah, a little miss
sure shot. You know anything about her? While Bill Coate
Bill Hiccott.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Like, no, I can't stay. I don't know anything about
She's like a little missure shot. She had a feed
her family. Absolutely not Matt oh Man, Wow, this is terrible.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
Okay, So anyway, so you're not gonna probably go to
the Anioki Museum in a Gars museum, that's that's not
a big deal. Small little town, big farming community. I'd
never seen a game until I played the one, right,
so I didn't know Prudue was in the big ten
I'd never seen a college game. My dad severe polio.
Growing up, right, we didn't do sports. We were into
the outdoors, you know, pre eighteen hundred encampments, running around

(46:30):
doing crazy stuff hawking, knife competition, hunting, fishing.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Did you ESPN stuff like where they would do like
the axine and loved it.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Yeah, it was the best, man, I used to watch it.
You ever watch you guys? Know who Marty Stalfer is?
You ever heard that name? No, I'm Marty Stalfer. Welcome
to Our Wild America. That's not my favorite show growing up, dude,
he like take you out, show you neat thing, like
here's a pine Martin. They're really clever and he like

(46:59):
film them.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
I mean it was awesome, dude.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
It's almost like Bob Ross meets you know, like David Attenborough.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
David.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Yeah, there we go without the British accent. David Attenborough
is a badass, so, sir, sir, by the way, Sir
David Attenborough. So anyway, that was my world. Man, growing up,
small little town. I had no idea to get a scholarship.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
You play high school? You played high school football?

Speaker 1 (47:18):
Oh yeah, man, I played well. My mom did not
want me around so like like I played pee wee,
I was. I was in football in my life, but
and terrible, really terrible.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
I was tied end.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
I went to Purdue as a tight end for some
unknown reason. I never did anything athletic. Ever, I was
never a tight end in the high school.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
You keep on saying that, bro, you're like an undersized tackle.
You have to be athletic.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Well, no, I I can, I could I have. I
have decent short space quickness, I think is what they said.
You know, here's an awesome one. Right, So for you,
how'd they describe you for the combine?

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 1 (47:51):
You do remember the right.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Up for your backer than fast doesn't have a position.

Speaker 6 (47:55):
You guys have this right up?

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Can you guys research this right up? Yeah? Yeah, okay,
go ahead, keep going. Quicker than fast doesn't have a position,
played against shitty talent.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
This is depressing. I wasn't going this route. Get it out, though,
get it over with. They were wrong, They were dead wrong.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Yeah they were.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
But the but they describe things right.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Like what I'm getting at is white guys smart works hard.
Yeah yeah, ever guy, ever, guy, yeah, ever, guy?

Speaker 1 (48:26):
I love how all white guys are guys you know
what I mean, like blazing speed. Nope, he's an effort guy.
He's a gym rat, loves the game.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
Is in there, I'm looking here. Ken State staff comments
on Julian Edelman from Fall two thousand and eight, upper
echelon worker, knows his physical limitations.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
He likes be, likes to be s what's that mean?

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Bullshit? Wonderfil started podcast yelling at people. We do love
the bullshit.

Speaker 4 (48:56):
Once the ball in his hands, football instincts will help
him as a wide receiver, has the feet to play
defensive back. They're right about that, most competitive guy I've
ever coached.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
See that seed. But that's pretty good remarks, you know, mindset,
all right, So there's a lot of things that that
you can say about an offensive lineman, right, They talk
about lower body strength, has a good wing span, real
good punch, great drive off the ball, initial contact, you know,
drops his hips. I mean, there's all kind of really
short space quickness.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Blah blah blahlah blah.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
None of that was said for me, you know, you
know mine said, I swear to God, basically mine was.
He's coachable.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
That's it. That's it.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
He's coachable. And I don't even know why that would
even translate to anything that would actually help me get drafted.
But basically I was coachable and having never seen anything,
never seen a draft in my life. When I got
drafted by New England, I thought I was going to
some other country.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
I didn't know where New England was either. I had
no clue.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
Man, I wouldn't have been able to throw at dark
and come close.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
No, I knew because of Madden. I didn't you know
where Foxborough was though, never heard of it because you
guys are winning Super Bowl. So I used to play
with the.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Guys and once in a while, yeah became relevant. Yeah,
So that was my world.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Man.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
I I didn't know anything about the game of football,
you know, blessed to do it. And and honestly, man,
you know, just just the people we got in those
early years, especially man like the you know, I think
back on these guys, these guys like Roman Fighter and
Grant Williams and so many guys that you know, the
uh Rodney man, oh man, you know Jermaine Wiggins. You know, gosh, man,

(50:37):
we had Mike Compton's we had we had all these
guys that we didn't have our you know, we weren't
individually announced. You know, that was a big deal. But
that's because none of us, you know, were above the other.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Like I used to always say this man Bill could
do it the way he did it, and he could
drive all of our dicks in the dirt every single
day because we were all in the same pit of despair.
If if there was somebody that was up on a
ledge looking down on us, that was a teammate, it
wouldn't have worked, you know, when you and by the way,
there were times that he did show some favoritism and

(51:13):
that's when things got ugly in the locker room defense.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Defense. But but but if we had a good practice
on offense, we had a bad practice as a team. Yeah,
Like if we dominated the defense, we had a bad practice,
no doubt.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
But there were guys that he did put on a
little bit of a pedestal and it created problems.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Who like an ad when Ad.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Got there, you know what I'm saying, Like there was
there was there was some difference shown in certain ways.
I mean, you know, like he didn't let Tommy off,
you know, off of anything like he if there was
an issue, it was coming out in the team meeting
room full tilt with the number one guy in the league.
He did not care. But I think that's why. You know,

(51:57):
when you're all in the same pit together, if you
don't rally as a group, it gets real.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Bad, it does. We all dragging our dicks in the
dirt together. That's a fact. Now you play with Drew
Brees at Purdue. Any good Drew Brees stories.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
How was Drew love that guy?

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Man?

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Guy has not changed to this day?

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Yeah, well he has actually got that scar removed. Pernic
what is it? Pernic? What we named it? We did?

Speaker 1 (52:27):
We actually named it and we had the rookies doing
rookie skits at Purdue, and one of my favorite ones
was we talked these guys in the glue and a
dry eraser to their face to represent Pernic because dude,
Pernic used to be real hairy. I'm talking like that
was like a chinchilla. And hey, look, man, God love him, you.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Know, and Pernik's a good guy too.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
But we had some fun, man, we you know, we
had We had so much fun at Perdue that I
think think they still talk about our era going through there,
and to a degree, I kind of feel the same
way about our time in New England. Oh yeah, we
had so much fun. We did it at such a
high level. But we you know, after games, we all

(53:14):
went out together. Oh yeah, you know. But I think
that's the one thing that I look at now and
I feel kind of sorry for these guys. You know,
it's a different world. But if you have strong leaders,
you can still have fun as a team.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
I don't think that, but you had to sacrifice.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Man.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Somebody has to plan it, somebody has to take the
time to organize it and get them together. And I
don't think guys are as willing to do that today
as we were back in the day, because everybody's got
a brand, everybody's got something they want to push, and
what they don't realize is is that, man, when you
take the time to do those little things like we
had the Fat Man Cup Series two thousand go kart
race where we ruined every go kart. We probably put

(53:51):
this place out of business. It was all the linemen.
It was awesome, wrecked them all the time.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Were you You're the one planning all this stuff, right.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
I mean it was me, but it was also guys
like Joe andrewsy I mean, you know it was typical
offensive guys, and we're smarter.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
Than I mean, I say it all the time on TV.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
And and by the way, you remember how great those
Halloween parties were.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
I didn't go. I was too young, really yeah, and
it wasn't cool enough yet I didn't get to go
to the infamous one where Bill came as a butup,
I mean, a pirate. It was fitting. It was damn fitting.
I could.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
I can remember this about you, man, I remember you know,
and I know you had this all the time too,
but people, you know, whenever you had a break during
camp or you know whatever, or you're talking to somebody,
people had ask you, like, man, who's the new dude
in camp that impresses you? And I remember I was like, hey, man,
I don't know how it's going to work out, but
this little Edelman dude, this this kid wants it. He's

(54:51):
gonna he's going to be a damn good player. And
I'm like, oh, man, I don't even know that, you know,
I think I heard that, and I'm like, no, trust me, man,
this kid's going to be unbelievable. And I I remember
saying that about you, and people kind of like bulking
at the idea and then they didn't take long.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Man.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
I mean, hats off man your career. I wish, I
wish we played longer together.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
But I did too, because I used to hang out
with lining guys a little bit. Oh yeah, you know,
I'd go hang out with you guys. You guys like
I was a young player, and Thanksgivings and and you know,
holiday stuff. You guys always invited me over, and I'd
always go over the house. And you guys just like
I used to call you big Bear goals, you know.
And I was a little gipper, little gipper, you know,

(55:32):
and he always you know, Matt was a fucking superstar
already at the time. And you know, when you're a
young guy and you have one of your premier players
on the team, that's like putting his arm around you.
Like that gives a younger guy so much confidence and
like that sense of belonging, you know, which you don't
feel that a lot were you on nine? I was nine.

(55:55):
That's right, Your Tommy came back, you know.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
You know what I remember, man, I stuck around till eleven.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Oh, I remember you told me in the shower. You
told me in the shower, I go because I didn't
play that much in the Super Bowl, and I remember
I go up and I'd always ask you after games, like, hey,
you come out healthy, man, good You're like, I'm done, bubs,
or you shaid I'm done. I retire right in the shower,
Remember that I do? You know what? Man?

Speaker 1 (56:21):
With a year of my contract. The only thing I
was thinking about at that time was it was probably
the best season I had in my career. Obviously, we
didn't win when it mattered the most, and that's fine,
you know, that's football, right, But to me, it was like, man,
and my daughter was closer to being out of my
home than in my home Jesus. And the realization at

(56:42):
that time was, you know what's like what is truly
most important? I mean, look, I was having fun. I
always had fun, but it was there was a cultural
shift my last few years, right. So when you came
in to know nine, that's when I started to sense
that guys like I don't know. Remember I used to
walk through the locker room and not guys phones out
of their hand and be like, hey man, you know
that guy right next to you, like.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
You're number thirty, he's thirty one.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
And you guys should talk to each other.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
This is really awesome, Like.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
This would be really cool. Look at you guys, Look
at you guys. There was there was a shift in
how we did things. It was hard to get guys
to do stuff off the field together, you know what
I mean. And I started to get a little jaded
by It's like, you put effort into it, and you
want these guys to come out and do things. And
I think looking back on them, man, I've had guys

(57:29):
come to me and be like, man, you know what
I missed the most is is just being around guys
I trust. And that's a big part of leaving the
game too, right, you know all the fun moments, all
the winning, you know, even the losing, you know, the
crazy moments, getting a jack whatever. I loved all the craziness.
And I love the fights.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Man.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
Man, I missed that the most. And it's hard to
do that in the real world, Like it just.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Doesn't work real well, you guys tried. That was it?
The at the casino? Yeah? At the casino? Yeah, that
whole that was a big lawsuit. You know what I
love about that one?

Speaker 1 (58:05):
They put You know how we were always playing cards
in the locker room. Yeah, we play Yuker and all
this stuff. They took a picture and blurred out the
lockers in the background and put that as the headline picture,
like it was me at a casino, but it was me
in the locker room, Like I knew where the picture
came from.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
They're so sneaky, sneaky, so sneaky. We'll be right back
after this quick break. Let's go back into time. This
is a segment where we go back around where the
game took place. December twenty sixth, twenty ten. We talked
a little bit about pop culture. Number one movie was

(58:41):
Little Fuckers. Remember that? You watch a movie I did? Yeah?
Oh yeah, Little near action in a comedy. Number one
song was Fireworks by Katy perry Man. I remember this shit,
it doesn't seem that long ago. Was that?

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Did she do that one when she was on the
elephant for the Super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (59:00):
Oh? Was that like this?

Speaker 4 (59:01):
It might have been. Let me double check on that.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
I remember that whole like a lot of pyate technics
and a giant elephant.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Remember that. I don't for the halftime show, right?

Speaker 3 (59:09):
It was the shark plushy things.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Left Shark, Yeah, I remember, I don't.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
When Shark was animated and whin Shark was like kind
of dead.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
I don't remember that weird Around this time December nineteenth,
the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New York Jets in the
Miracle at the meadow Lands. You know how many times
you watch that goddamn film where you're not supposed to
kick it to fucking DeShawn Jackson. Oh my god, how
many times you watch this? After this it's no look,
Assho'll just pump the fucking ball out of bounds.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
There's certain plays that he would bring up five years
after the fact.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
Every year we went over the goddamn free kick, oh
every Friday, and it hadn't been used since nineteen eighty two,
the one where you fair catch a punt and you
get to line up and have a free kick at
the end of half.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
Yes, well, but there's a lot of things like that, though.
I'm sure you can dig up a lot of things
that were brought up over and over again, practiced even
ad nauseum, and then executed at some point, which kind
of crazy. No, I mean two point play, that two
point play.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
We hadn't which which two point it was? No, it
was it was ful because it was k Falk's two
point play where Tom would go yes, that's right, and
it was.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
It was just like an up the gut kind of
a misdirection.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
They throw the fade light in the box, you run
the Kevin Falk. We use that for like ten years. Uh.

he's me with will Fork on the defensive side, stretching,
not really stretching, just talking.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
He was always the last guy in the meeting room too,
for the morning meeting. You remember that, Like I'm talking
like as Bill was walking in, the door was just
closing behind Randy too, And I'm like, damn, man, because.

Speaker 6 (01:03:15):
If you were half a second late, that was perro
de duct.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
I'm talking if the door was shut and you.

Speaker 6 (01:03:20):
Weren't in your seat and Bill walked.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
In there, it's I mean, that was a bad feeling, terrible,
really bad feeling. And I remember one time I had
the Randy Moss mask. I put my sweats on, I
got I got his extra pair of sweats with his
number which didn't fit real well, and I sat in
his seat. Remember how I always just sit with his
big ass legs way back and backing this thing with
his hood up. And dude, when you have that stuff on,
you looked just like him, Like that mask was amazing.

(01:03:45):
And so when he walked in, I just stood up,
was like straight cast little homie, you know I do.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
I remember Bill was just walking into and.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
He's looking at me like, you know, Randy, like damn,
I come on, you're an idiot.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
Jack sent the stage for the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 4 (01:04:02):
This was this was back when the Bills were the
Bills that that we know in love. The Little Brothers
just got the ship kicked out of him. Record four
and twelve, first year of the illustrious chan Gaily Era
drafted C. J. Spiller ninth overall. He was a rookie.
This year started the year oh and eighth eight.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
This was the year Marshawn Lynch got traded to Seattle.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
UH.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
And this was around the time that remember there was
talking the Bills moving to Toronto.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
Yeah, in Buffalo move played a home game there.

Speaker 4 (01:04:28):
Played a home game in Week nine against the Bears,
lost up in Toronto. This was the year of Fitzmagic.
Brian Brohm, Trent Edwards all made starts for the Bills
this year. The lone pro bowler was Kyle Williams, the
defensive tackles. He was a beast.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
We played for a long time time time. Man.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
This was a team with some other dudes of like
Roscoe Parish, Lee Evans, le Otis mcelvin. Speaking of another
classic Bills Stevie Johnson, Fred Jackson was a beast this year, Johnson,
But yeah, not a not a great Bills team four
and twelve, yep, finished fourth in the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Fcast Later, how'd you feel about the Bills back in
these days?

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
God, I love beating them up. It was you know
what it was? It was one of those things where
on the road loved playing in Buffalo, loved it. I
love the atmosphere you roll in there. First of all,
they're the kind of fans that they're gonna try to
piss on your van on the bus as it rolls by,
but they're gonna high five you when it's a good game.
You know what, I mean like they're a true football fan.

(01:05:30):
They love their bills, love them no matter what, hell
or high water man, they're gonna be there. They're gonna
support them. They're burning trash canded.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
It's it's not like when you're in Oakland and you
see like the chaos like Mad Max meets you know, fandom.
It's like, like that's a crazy scene. But those guys
do get it on, but they're doing crazy stuff. I
remember watching the dude like belly dive onto a table
full of beers. I'm like, that's redneck.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
There we go, we go get them, buddy. I'd never
been flipped off by such a crazy age group, different
from like six year olds to like ninety five year
old women. Yeah, after you go in, you whoop their
ass and old orchard. It's the best. Man. I remember you,
didn't you steal a fucking used to steal.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
The amazing memory you have the amazing memory.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
You used to steal the stools.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
Yeah, Like I said, I'm not stealing anything from you,
but I have been looking and I did. And by
the way, that stool is in my house right now.
My kids use it all the time to get on
this like counters and that that stool was cool because
it was it was very buffalo like. It wasn't real ornate.
It was nice and square. It was it was it

(01:06:36):
has to be. I'm gonna say, quarters on white Oak
is where I'm going. Quarter Oak, yep. And it's it's real.
It's real beefy. So it wasn't ornate in any way,
but very solid, very firm, very heavy, has a big
round top to it, and in the center has a
recessed brass plate with the number seventy two. And I

(01:06:56):
remember I searched all through the locker room to find
the right one and put it in my equipment bag.

Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
I remember you from the visiting locker room.

Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
Oh yeah, I try to steal something from every busy.
You know, my my most favorite stool is k C.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
You still you stole stools.

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
From everywhere, from almost every place we went to. But
but but by the way, you know this, not every
very few. I bet you none of them today. They yeah,
they did the building, so we were. It was the
last year of the old Arrowhead Stadium and they had
now this is probably courtssot white Oak too. But it
was stained and it was nice and it was turned

(01:07:31):
on the lathe. All the legs were real nice and
it has the arrowhead with the KC logo and in No.
Seventy two.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
But it's that's awesome. Yeah, I remember, I remember you
were trying to put that thing in your bag or something.
I got it. It was it, bros. Remember was that
the old equipment guys like we can't do.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
This or something like guess you can?

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:07:52):
Is that the was that the move to shove it
in the Duffel bag and get out of there?

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
Because they're huge, right, because they got it. You get
all your pads and all your stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Right, what's your favorite thing you stole from another stadium?

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
Like, listen, is there statue of limitations? I mean, I'm
not going to jail on your podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
Like that's double Jeopardy, Bro, it's gone.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
That's a good point. Yeah, yeah, it can't be tried twice,
There's no way. Gosh, man, the best thing ever? Hey,
you know, so some of my favorite stuff that I
have hanging now. We just moved down to Chapatchet, Rhode Island,
and in the move I found some stuff that I'd
ganged from the Super Bowls. So again I was always
the first guy off the field. Right, It was like
my goal to get to the bar as quickly as possible.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Barl Lewis baby, and.

Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
I would rip down all these banners. I remember just
jumping up and just running tintingdingdingding thing, wadding it up.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
Throwing it. And I have all these really.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Awesome banners from the Super Bowl eras, like the ones
that hang in the hotel.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Yeah, well we get to the hotel, I couldn't stop
myself there either. They'd be like hanging off like a
big atrium and I'd find my way up in there like.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Sink sink, sink, sink sink. Can we just get it?
What is your craziest prank that you did as a
New England Patriot?

Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
Okay, so I would say probably the best one that
I did on team. I mean the best one I've
done period was having some guys pulled off their private jet.
That was that was one of the greatest of all time.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Man, what do you mean? I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
And by the way, I did have a guy and
you can look this one up. I just did a
full video on it. I had a guy kill a
turkey and he thought it was the world record albiono
Osiola and ossiole is only found in Florida. It's a
version of a turkey, right, it's a subspecies. And he
went hunting with me, but what he actually killed was
a broad breasted white turkey that was farm raised and

(01:09:45):
like some like literally like a double wide in some
guy's backyard, and I just put it out in the
woods and he shot it, and he snuck up on it.
I told him that if you squat down like a
Suma wrestler and carry a fake turkey tail fan, that
you can walk right up on him, which you cannot
do that. But he did it, and he practiced it
for a while and it's one of the funniest things ever.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
I have it on video.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
Like, by the way, I was right next to him
when he shot it, but he had no idea. It
was in a full gilly suit in a palmeadow bush
snake almost bit me. And when he sneaks up on it,
I swear to God, when the turkey saw him, it
was like, oh, thank God.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
There's a human. I've been out here in a while,
Like what the hell?

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
Like he came from like literally a guy's backyard, and
so he shoots and misses him and the bird. He
was so fat he could barely walk forty four pounds, Like, dude,
that's twice as big as any bird. And he started
walking my way. I'm like this how I die being
a dumbass.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
This is how I die?

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
And thank god he didn't shoot me. But anyway, my
brother calls him as the head of Florida Game and Fish.
I made up two hundred copies of a magazine where
he's on the cover, and he thought, like, I'm dead serious, dude,
I mean, I will put a lot of effort into this.
A year later, he gets up on stage at the
shootout where we sold the Hunt to begin with, and
I said, Jamie, you got to come up here and
help me sell this thing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
I'm like, it's going to go for big money. You
just shot that. And so he gets up and he's
talking about how he killed the Moby Dick of Turkey.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
He's the Tom Brady of Turkey Hunt. I got all
on video.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
I had my guys there wearing Florida Game and Fish
collared shirts that I had made up because they were
there to get content for their website because they're getting
ready to launch it. They brought two hundred advanced copies
of the magazine. He's signing the magazines for people at
the event, like, you can't make this stuff up right.
He had it mounted, a farm raised bird mounted, so

(01:11:25):
up on stage, he's talking about all this stuff on
the Tom Brady of Turkey Hunting, I killed the moby
Dick of Turkey and then I said, well, you know what,
we actually have this on film?

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
Why we roll it?

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
And in front of five hundred people A year later
he finds out it shows me getting the bird, and
he's on stage like, are you serious? Like all this
realization it's one of the greatest videos.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
You'll ever watch. Man.

Speaker 1 (01:11:49):
We laughed so hard.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
Didn't you do a prank on one of our tight ends?
And he got real bad? Almost Oh did I on
a tight end? Didn't you move her into his car
or something? He got Superman?

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
Oh oh he was fired up. Well no, you know why?
Oh no, no, hold on, that that wasn't no, that
wasn't Hernandez. That was that was his his counterpart in Florida.
Uh lineback bike spikes. That's exactly who that was. Yeah,
But by the way, Hernandaz and I did not get
off on the right foot because I was the guy
I had a hoghead in my in my truck.

Speaker 2 (01:12:25):
That was weird.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
And uh uh you remember you remember Donald Duck.

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
Yeah, you put a duck in his locker.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
I did put duck.

Speaker 6 (01:12:31):
And by the way, for two days, he had no
idea it was a live.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
Duck, not a dead duck. I would never do that.
A live duck, live duck.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
And it was quacking and everything else, and he must
have thought it was just like us messing around with him.
I'm like, what point is he?

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
The thing needed water that goes terrible. Anyway, he took
it home. By the way, the duck is still alive.
I'm not just saying that, like Duck's fine. Don't don't
think ducks and.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
Trust is David Donald. His name was not Donald Duck.
But we did say that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
We used to get him all those little ducks and
they have a whole bunch of them, like one looks
like a ballerina and you know, like a little one. Anyway,
I put it and then somebody was like, hey, man,
you know he's the guy that got busted smoking weed
at Florida State.

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
I'm like, sweet or Florida. I'm like this is awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
So I took his hogshead and I put it in there,
and I wrote up a piece of paper, painted it
red on one end, and I stuck it in the
hog's mouth, and I said, hey, welcome to the team.
It's time to go hog wild. And I thought that
was funny. I found out when he walked in he
was not impressed. And I was like, that's kind of
a dick. Got a dick, So anyway, neither here nor there, spikes.
I watched him pull up a Patriot place and get

(01:13:29):
out of his his his whatever the car was, and
he had a handicap thing that he put in his windshield,
and I'm like, mother trucker, Like, by the way, that
is a total dick.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
MAE can't do that. You can't do that. Can't do that,
player lot.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
And by the way, it's not like he blends in.
He he was wearing like a full like mink fur
coat or something. I don't know, like he did the
kind of he was kind of a pimp kind of he.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
Kind of brought to the craft way.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
Yes, like I don't know where he hired her, but
that was some crazy stuff. So when I saw that,
I'm like nah, that can't happen. And it was a
part of me being an old timer. I'm like, that's
just not right. So I stole his car. I still
have that. I still have the handicap sign that he
put in. It's in my room.

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
Where did you put the car?

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
I put it over by the bubble And he was
so like he wanted the smartest one out there. He
was so dumb he could not figure out. He came
to me and was like, did you take my car?
I'm like nah, and he's like all right. And like
three days later, I'm like, has the guy got his car?

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
They're like nah, huh. Like days and days.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
Go by, I'm like, oh, this guy's troubled.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
Very troubled. Jaggie break down These New England Patriots.

Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
Oh man, this was a heck of a year for
the Pats. Fourteen and two, best record in the league,
won eleven of the last twelve games, coming off a
season when we went ten and six. Lost Dan P's
in the offseason, DC.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
And fucking P's and that blaze zero is right. Randy
ranild them all day long about that. Yes, every walk
through in the started practice, Randy walk out Dean P's
andw fucking Blade zero lost me a super Bowl ring.

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Speaking of Randy, Randy was traded to Minnesota this October.
Also in October, Dion Branch came back. This was the
year Tom Brady won MVP. As we talked about earlier, Jules,
this was your second season.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
When they traded Randy, I thought I was gonna get
some more opportunity. I was like, yeah, it's my shot,
it's my shot. Two days later we bring a Branch.
Didn't sniffed offensive field yet, but dirty the best.

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
A lot of Pro bowlers on this team, to Tom West,
Matt Logan, Mankins, Big, Vince Mayo, mccordy, Brandon, Meriweather, Vrabel
was on this team. I mean, this was a This
was a heck of a Patriots team.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
Who was your biggest bash bro was it? But Manx
Logan was a fucking the best man. I tell you what.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
You remember his hands, Yeah, they're like five hens, they
are like five and his wrist articulates in some weird
snake like I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
Know it's it's uh, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
He grab and you remember when he did the old uppercut.
Remember when he got when he got kicked out. He
punched some dude in the nuts. It was awesome, so
great anyway, And and Logan wasn't dirty ever, but that
dude played with an edge. And I can, I can
honestly say that we we had so much fun as
a unit, Like whether it was Logan or you know,

(01:16:36):
Sea Bass or Cope, and I mean all the guys
we had. Steve I loved legend.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
You remember the Four Locos. Remember he when they banned
the Four Locos, he bought a crate of it and
had it in his house.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
I saw him drink six in one night. That you
shouldn't be alive. No, you shouldn't like one is a
bad idea, two is kind of stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
Like that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
He was indestructible, man.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
No, Steve was a monster. He could burly lift his
arm and he was fucking playing. Remember that he'd have.

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
Those trouble man you know he he was the only
guy that could get knocked down and get back up
and still be blocking this guy. Nothing he did technique
wise was what Scar wont. And finally Scar was just like,
you know what, Steve, You're winning, So I'm just you're good.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
Just do what you do.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
I remember one time we had a party at Ross
Hawk Seigin's and he got lost in the woods and
he woke up and he had like seven hundred mosquito
bites on him because he was like literally in the woods.
And the next day, like that day he woke up,
we had to go in for our physical, our off
season physical, and he shows up and we're all wondering, like, well,
we didn't know what happened to him. We kind of
thought maybe he made his way home, but he lived

(01:17:43):
a long way from there and his car was still there,
so like, we know what, Well, he passed out of
the woods. And when he showed up, he's on the
table and they're doing the e KG you know they
start with that. Yeah, and he's got leaves stuck to
him and random spots and welts all over his body.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Fucking Neil. Neil was awesome. I went to his house
in San Diego when we went out there.

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
Remember we went out there, Yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
And he did a lot for Bakersfield. He loved that
wrestling community. That guy was. I mean, he was a
pro wrestler. He beat brock lessener As in the World Championships.
I think he did.

Speaker 1 (01:18:15):
I think he won the collegiate title heavyweight, the Greco Roman,
and the freestyle all in the same year. And I
think he was the first guy to ever do that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
No, yeah, he was. He was a bad man, bad
man yep. Now what makes Dante's Scarnekio such a great coach?

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
First of all, it's a combination, like if you want
to talk about an angry, angry individual, just mix. I'm
dead serious, man, And you don't see this very often
when Italians and Mexicans mate, you get a Dante Scarneki
You see what I'm saying, Like, like there's something in there, man,
because like very driven, very like like fiery chip. Yeah,

(01:18:56):
you know, like you know you like when you have that.
It's so it's kind of like the Allian intensity, right
like that like you know, kind of like rip your
heart out like mafia kind of thing with like a
Mexican like like crazy like a like a like a
like a little uh the yap and dog, you know,
like because he was he wasn't big, but big guy

(01:19:18):
has definitely feared.

Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Him, right Oh. He scared people.

Speaker 1 (01:19:20):
Hell yeah, like and he coached like some of the
biggest monsters out there, and we were all like, yep,
we got your coach. We're in task Master a military background,
right eop. Coach forever goes goes all the way back
to like the you know, the beginning was at SMU
when they got the.

Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
Death penalty there, and then he went to EUOP. Right, yes, yes,
And was that like there's a bunch of dudes that
came from EUOP.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
He coached. By the way, he was in a made
for TV movie. I don't know if you know this
or not, and there is evidence of it. Actually, I
had the video we played at one time in our
meeting room and it was the Pittsburgh and the Steeler Kid. Okay,
you can look this up, Pittsburgh and the Steeler Kid.
And it was like a Monday Night special back when
like Monday Night specials were a big deal, and it

(01:20:11):
had mean Joe Green and all these other guys, and
Dante was a coach, played a good role, and I remember,
like I forget what his lines were, but I used
to say him to him like randomly. Of course, like
nobody knew that this movie existed, and he knew it,
but he knew, but uh no, he was you know what, man,
Nobody worked harder than him on the staff I mean

(01:20:34):
a lot worked as hard, I think, but nobody worked
harder than him. He was the first one in the building,
first inn, last out, three am. You get there, and
he go to bat for us too, man like like
we butted heads, like you know, we went at it,
but always had a healthy respect for him because if
there were things in that game plan, you know, whether
it was the coordinator's idea or Bill's idea, and Dante

(01:20:58):
looked at it and said, yeah, that ain't gonna work.
He's not going to just hang us out and be like, look,
this is what they want, so we gotta do it.
He's gonna go there and.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
Be like, nah, you know what I'm saying. And I
think that's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
I don't know what it's like on other staffs, man,
I was on one staff my entire career. But I
can tell you one thing. You know, when we went
into our openers, I mean, hell, if if I had
a problem, I'm sure you even said things at times
right like like no, I don't I don't think we
should run that earlier, or I'm not feeling that one,
And there was input like that. I don't think that's
probably normal in every situation.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
No what impress me with coach Scarr and I saw
it when we had a different line coach when he
took a year away, remember that he left for a
year or something. Scar could break down the actual technique
and he wouldn't be nice how he would save the
line like you.

Speaker 8 (01:21:44):
Fat fucked you drop your left leg and but like
he would tell you what to do, oh yeah, which
other guys like that's not unacceptable or you can't do this.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
He would literally say, you know, you gotta do this
drop and that's all about. He would tell you what
you had to do.

Speaker 1 (01:22:01):
Yeah, and he'd tell you where you stood. He'd tell
you how bad you sucked. I mean, listen to your ass.

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
Eys.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
Did you ever see when I did the Dante Scarnaki
a motherfucking instructional video how to motherfuck people? In the submission,
no oh, explain it unbelievable. So rookies were doing a
terrible job with their rookie skits one year, and I'm like,
we got to do something make him laugh. So I
brought my stuff because I lived in Foxborough, and you know,
we stayed the residence in You're trapped in that hotel

(01:22:29):
for a month during training camp. So I brought my
film equipment in and we sat there in the residence
in and shot this thing with the rookies and I
directed it. And it was basically like if you watch
like one of those not an infomercial, but like where
they're selling things on TV, you know, like, so it
was like, you want to learn. It started out with
one of the rookies and I can't remember this kid's name.

Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
He was a lineman.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
You want to learn how to motherfuck people? Are you
tired of being taken advantage of as a leader? Do
you want to get your people just get in line?
Are you not being as productive because you know you
could be, Well, here's your chance. Dante Scarneki has padded
system designed the motherfuck Everybody into submission. And it was
amazing because I wrote down every one of his sayings
for years and years. I always had a notepad, like

(01:23:13):
if I was awake it was just to do something
stupid like that. And so I had every one of
his sayings and we had a scrolling list and it
was playing this it was playing the song.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
I thought, this was awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
I will be off other figure, put your tiny hand
in mind.

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
You know that song yes, and it's playing in the background.
I thought that was so awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:23:32):
It was like little things that I found funny, probably
if nobody else did, but it's like and then I
had Ryan O'Callaghan was the voiceover for You'll Learn the classics,
like if you don't think that shit sucks, you can
go fuck yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
And it just kept listening all these classics.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
Oh oh, assiys. He loved to call people assiys, You're
not worth hammered shit. Remember him saying that that's not
worth hammered shit. If you think that shit's the way
to go with, then you can go. I mean like it, like,
just kept listening them all the way down. And then
what I thought was a stroke of genius. I had
Steve Neil and myself. We sat in front of you know,
they had the curtains at the residence in and we

(01:24:10):
were on the first floor, so there was a light
outside but it was dark, and so I shot and
it was a silhouette, so it was like Tony the Tiger.
You could just see like our silhouette. And we sat
there and made it look like we were talking, but
we made the rookies say or no, we said it,
and we had the rookies be the silhouette, and I
would be like Steve's like, I've been in Dante's Scarnekia's
motherfucking system for four years now, and I can honestly

(01:24:33):
tell you it works. That guy can really fuck you,
you know, like he's like giving a testimonial, and then
there's another guy giving a testimony, so we play that
for the rookie skits. I turn around to see Dante's expression,
and he's just like stone cold, just like looking at
the screen, no emotion. I look over Bill Bill's life
because you know how much Bill loved the rookie skits,

(01:24:54):
loved him.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
Oh my gosh, talking about him last night at the roast. Yeah,
Ernie Adams story, we had him out here, Oh my god.
Oh you know what.

Speaker 1 (01:25:04):
I knew that. Somebody told me that you had him here,
and I have to go watch it because I'm sure
exactly say way love Ernie.

Speaker 2 (01:25:11):
I love Ernie. Oh my gosh. By the way, genius
in the markets back in the day. Oh yeah, I
asked him like what I used to ask him all
the time. Everyone heard the rumors that he made Bill
a bunch of money in the market or something.

Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
Yeah, he was on a trading floor. Man, that guy
was in it. You know, commodity is the whole nine.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:25:29):
Yeah, we went to dinner with We went to dinner
and picked his brain about afterwards.

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
What was the tip? He? I remember one investing what
you know?

Speaker 1 (01:25:35):
Yes, by the way, that's some of the best advice
in the that that truly is the key right there.

Speaker 4 (01:25:40):
And then he said, if you wouldn't buy the whole company,
don't buy a single share.

Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
Wow, which that was pretty good. Nie, good words.

Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
Hey, I'm gonna tell you my favorite Ernie Adams moment
of all time.

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
And this is all I think. I remember where this
is going. Go ahead at practice? The plane.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
Oh my god, man, did you guys talk about that?

Speaker 2 (01:25:58):
No? Oh, how did you not talk about because I
wasn't there. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:26:02):
So this is so amazing. So our practice fields are
right outside the stadium and we have this upper field
and we're at practice and there is a plane coming
over and I'm sure it's going to one of the
air bases, right, but it's like a C one And
I'm not kidding you. We can see it coming. Actually,

(01:26:22):
we can feel it coming. And I remember looking and
I'm like oh, and I can see the pilot's expression
on his face like I'm not just saying that, man,
Like I can still see it to this day. And
I remember thinking, that's going to hit right where I'm
standing because.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
The angle it was coming at it looked like it was.

Speaker 1 (01:26:41):
It definitely blown up the stadium for sure, man. And
I'm looking at this. And by the way, everybody stops,
like nobody stops during practice. It wasn't like their fans
were there. It wasn't during training camp. This like during
the season. And these two nut sacks, and they probably
got demoted big time, dude, because I know they got
in trouble for doing this shit. They were like buzzing
a tower, you know, yeah, permission, go ahead, Maverick. And

(01:27:03):
here they come. And as I'm watching this, my dumb
ass should have been doing what Ernie was doing, because
the only smart guy on that entire field was Ernie.
And he's running, by the way, I never saw Ernie
run like this. He's running mock five away from the danger.
And I remember thinking at the time, like he's the
only smart one. I'm definitely dying.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
I'm definitely dying.

Speaker 1 (01:27:24):
And that shit is still in my head I can
still see him running. I mean the clipboard went flying.
I'm not kidding you, dude, He's the only single person
that ran away from danger. And that dude buzzes the
tower and then when he cleared the stadium, we were
all like, oh. And then I thought he was gonna
hit that big water tank. Yeah, and dude, he banked

(01:27:45):
right along. And that water tank is what, I don't know,
forty feet off the ground. It's not like it's one
thousand feet. He's on the surface and didn't die. But anyway,
Ernie Adams was the only one that ran away from it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
Fuck Erny genius. I love that guy. Jesus we had
him so when we played I don't know if we
talked about on the on the episode, We're playing the
Super Bowl and we were at I think Houston, and
there was like a rim around the football field, like

(01:28:20):
you know that the old school fields. I used to
have that cement rim in the track. Yep. Well, Ernie
somehow fell down in the middle of practice, hits his head.
He's bleeding profusely out of his head. Joker goes get
seven eight stitches, comes back out for practice.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
He had the full rap on his he didn't he.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
Yes, did you football player today to do that?

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
No, these guys are soft today?

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
Are they the players today? And by the way, it's
not I don't really put that in as as their fault,
and not all of them. There's some football playing Jesse's
out there. Like I think I told you this man
like David Andrews is a throwback. Yeah, Like if I
had take a guy that's in New England right now
that you know, I love the way he plays, like
a style like his approach to the game, David would
be it. I think he's a great you know, well

(01:29:09):
he's he's a great voice in that locker room for
a lot of reasons. But man, I'll tell you what, Man,
the violent side of the game what I love the most,
and not just to be violent. Football is a violent sport.
You should want to try to knock the guy out
across the line from you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:22):
Legally, legally.

Speaker 1 (01:29:24):
But in today's world, man, how in the world do
you prepare yourself? You know, the league has a real problem,
a legit problem on their hands, and it's being masked
by fan duel and all these gambling sites right because
the revenue is still coming in. But the passion the
average fan and and and the rabid fan has left

(01:29:47):
the game and droves. And that's not a good thing
for football, now, you know what I'm saying, Like, look
look at it in terms of jersey sales and all
that other stuff, Like there's only so much that Taylor's
the Swifties can do. Okay, Like he keep going down
that road. See how that pans out, you know what
I mean? Like we need football playing jessin. We need
to bring the violence back. We need to allow these
guys to blow people up over the middle.

Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
I mean can though we as players suit the owners.
So the owners are going to sit there and say
we're changing the rules.

Speaker 1 (01:30:17):
Yeah, but not really though, I mean not really though.
I mean the lawsuits you're talking about more on the
concussive side, Yeah, those were in play long before, and
those are just a function of doing business. Like you
think about all these industries and how they mitigate risk. Right,
it's all insurance. It's all a game, right, Like I
can go out and have an event where we shoot
a lot of guns and we do and there's a

(01:30:38):
higher probability, higher probability of chaos there versus on a field, Right,
cheap insurance, so you can ensure against everything. It's not
that there's always been people trying to suit.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
The league.

Speaker 1 (01:30:49):
League knows how to get around that. They changed the
game fundamentally after twenty eleven CBA, the last one I
was a part of that changed the game. And as
you know, they can't practice, they don't hit, and they
can't get their bodies ready. And where you see it
most is in the line play because that's the guys
that need it the most. You guys can go run
routes and do technical stuff right and get yourselves right

(01:31:12):
for the most part, although they still need more work
because there's a lot of sloppiness. Man, there's a lot
of line of scrimmage bullshit. It's a it's a there's
a much better product five ten years ago on the
field from an execution standpoint.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
I mean, Tommy was saying that he got in trouble
for saying.

Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
That, and he was right, and he was saying that
almost a decade ago. You know what I'm saying. And
I remember having that conversation with him. He's like, it's
so easy right now, so and I'm not saying it
was easy in terms of we're gonna win every game
kind of mentality. But in terms of what it takes,
all I'm saying is is that they did all of it,
all the rule changes, everything the league did to get

(01:31:49):
their seventeenth game and they're about to get their eighteenth.

Speaker 2 (01:31:52):
It wasn't it because they want to have that super
bood President's Day.

Speaker 1 (01:31:56):
It wasn't about players safety, health and wellness. I'm not
saying they want to see guys hurt. I'm just telling
you we were floated this idea that all the changes
were centered around making the game safer, making the game safer,
and the game is not safer if you look at
it from a rate of injury, the rate of injuries
that actually gone up, soft tissue, all that stuff. They
can tell you anything they want, I'm telling you the

(01:32:16):
numbers would prove that. And you don't even have to
have the inside scoop on it. You can just watch it.
Look at how many of the of the starters and
the backups. And by the way, if you're a backup today,
you haven't taken a real live rep maybe since training camp.
You know what I'm saying, like, because there's not enough time.
So it's a problem.

Speaker 2 (01:32:34):
Man, practices, or.

Speaker 1 (01:32:36):
They can't hit two days in a row. We hit
twice in one day, two different sessions. So what I'm
saying is all that stuff was done because they wanted
to get their seventeenth and eighteenth game. And yes, there's
more revenue out there. It's Almo in front of the guys. Hey, yeah,
we're not gonna be hitting as much.

Speaker 2 (01:32:52):
Yeah we won't hit as much.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
Yeah we're gonna take away a preseason.

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
Get them in the back end with that eighteenth game.

Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
And by the way, I could care less. You want
to get seventeen eighteen negotiated, get it done like anybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
And they did.

Speaker 1 (01:33:02):
They finally got it done. Pay the guys, that's fine,
but don't do what you're doing because you keep going
down this road. These guys are not ready to play
a season. They're not ready to survive a season in entirety,
and they sure as hell aren't executing at a level
that is acceptable.

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
No. I mean, training camp by the time I retired
was a joke.

Speaker 1 (01:33:22):
It was the worst days of my life, oh and
yours in the beginning.

Speaker 2 (01:33:26):
First time, I was never I never ran like that
in my life. I was a quarterback bro I was
like slinging JoJo's in special teams periods at Kent State,
you know what I mean, Like I had to run
every period I was dead. We used to have run
game in the morning, past game in the afternoon, double days,
remember that, oh Man hot, vivid sticky. I mean by

(01:33:49):
the time I left, Bro, you didn't have you didn't
have three days in a row, or it was like
three days on and then you get one day off mandatory.
It was fucking crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:33:59):
Remember when we used to get the iron Man Award.
If you made it all through training camp because you
were a football play you were a bad dude. If
you made it all the way through without you know,
getting dinged up to where you couldn't practice. And by
the way, on that note, going back to our boy,
Briggsy had a security We were filming a thing for

(01:34:19):
the Oil Consortium for Craft. It was like like we
got paid to go do something right. And so because
it was they were like a big sponsor of the stadium,
they were coming in the back enter and try by
Briggs's house and it was Russ Hoaks, Syne and I
And it was supposed to be like Russ coming out
of his house and the oil delivery truck coming up,
and I was doing something. I was like dog cussing
the cheerleaders for some reason. Actually that wasn't part of it.

(01:34:41):
I just took that upon myself.

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
And it was funny.

Speaker 1 (01:34:43):
They gave him the video. But anyway, when we're doing it,
I told Russ, I said, hey, you know we're gonna
be doing this at Briggs's house. I said, I'm going
to steal something from Briggs's house. Right in front of him.
He's like, no, you're not. I'm like, yes, I will.
And dude, so he, being British, had a gargoyle, a
concrete gargoyle, and it was sitting on the railing of
his porch and Briggs is here, Russ is right here

(01:35:04):
wearing a robe, looking like an idiot, and I'm sitting
here and it was kind of raining out, and I
have my rain jacket. I put my jacket over the
gargoyle and we're talking, and right in front of him,
I kind of gripped my jackets. It looked like I
was just grabbed my jacket and I cup and that
thing was heavy about damn dropped it and I just
took it right on my side and I said, oh,
I got to go back to my truck and I
put that gargole in my truck. When we got done,
Russell was like, I thought you were going to steal

(01:35:24):
something from him.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
I'm like I did.

Speaker 1 (01:35:26):
He's like, no, you didn't. And I opened my truck
door and there's a gargol and he is dying right
Fast forward and I'm tying this back in hanging with me.
Fast forward to the end of training camp, and I
got my little Iron Man. We got a T shirt, right,
and we do we do anything for a T shirt.
So I got my T shirt and Briggs is walking
past me, but I had put the gargoyle in my

(01:35:46):
locker up where my shoulder paths were and it was
like sitting there. And he walks past me and he
stops and he looks. He backs up and he goes,
it's up my phone gogole. I swear to God, you
cannot write this script. And I go what And I
look at it. I look at him. I'm like, what
are you talking about. He goes, I'm a phone goggle.
I'm like, no, it's all gargle. I was like, Bill
gave me that. It's like for being like the Iron
iron Man, iron deer on a law, you know, like

(01:36:08):
like it was a it was a symbol of me
watching over the team. He's like, oh god, we'll just
look it. And he walks away.

Speaker 6 (01:36:13):
Now I'm dying inside.

Speaker 1 (01:36:15):
And Logan saw the whole thing and he's dying. Right
next day, I walk in, No Gargoyle, Okay, So I'm like,
all right, he got it. Never talked to him about it,
never had a real conversation. Right, It's funny how that works. Right,
We're all busy, like trying to get better and be
really good. So years go by and we go back
for a reunion for like the three Super Bowl you know,
guys that were there for all three of them, right

(01:36:35):
at the beginning ones. And we're there and I brought
my RV and we're having a great time. And then
Steve Neil we go up because Kratz has a little
reception in that little room up there with all of
his people, and Steve goes, hey, man, let's let's go
down to Briggs's office. We'll mess around. I'm like, oh yeah,
rubber nuts over his keyboard.

Speaker 4 (01:36:52):
To be awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
I'm just kidding. I wasn't gonna do that, probably would have.

Speaker 1 (01:36:55):
And we walk in and and I sit down in
his office. I got my feet up on his desk,
and Steve's taking a picture and I look.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
Up and the gargoyle is on the shelf. I stole
it again. It's at my house. I have it right now.

Speaker 3 (01:37:11):
It's amazing double jeopardy.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
Oh, man, fucking gargoyle.

Speaker 1 (01:37:16):
I got it. It's the greatest man. It's in my office.
Old Briggs. He left, Yeah, many doing big security, like
world security stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
I liked him. I liked him at the end. First
he hated me, Jack, want you ahead take us into
the game.

Speaker 4 (01:37:33):
Yeah, let's run through the lead up real quick, and
then we'll get through this butt kicking up in Buffalo.
So the Bills entered this thing four and ten. Pats
come in twelve and two. They're firing on all cylinders.
We had won that game thirty eight to thirty in
the Week three matchup. This game would clinch an AFC
East title for the Pats on a six game win streak,
wins by twenty one or more in three of the

(01:37:53):
last four weeks, turnover free for seven weeks leading up
to this game, and the defense had forced seven turnovers
in that span so pretty darn good plus minus differential there.

Speaker 1 (01:38:06):
Hair like really good hair.

Speaker 4 (01:38:08):
This was long hair Brady season.

Speaker 2 (01:38:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:38:09):
Yeah, that was like when he first was getting the plugs,
like the you know what I'm saying, like that whatever
that miracle grow stuff there sprinkling him.

Speaker 2 (01:38:17):
He always said he had what was that ship that
Alex Skucia or something, I don't know, Ksha Berry or something.

Speaker 4 (01:38:28):
And then the game itself twenty two degrees sixteen mile
an hour wins. This is Buffalo December weather. The games
the day after Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:38:36):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:38:36):
The Bills got on the board first with a Ryan
Lindell field goal, then wood Woody punched one in a
twenty nine yard run to put the Pats up seven
to three, and they never looked back, scoring twenty one
unanswered a Gronk TD, another Shane Graham field goal, an
Algae Crumpler TD. The tight ends were all over the
place today. Gronk had another touchdown the second half, and

(01:38:58):
the defense forcing seven overs four for almost three interceptions.

Speaker 2 (01:39:03):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:39:03):
The offensive line would let up just one sack. Shane
Graham tacked on another field goal at the end to
make this thing thirty four to three, just a beat
down in Buffalo, and then after this game to wrap
the game up, Tom Brady set the record for most
consecutive pass attemption with that an interception at three hundred

(01:39:23):
and nineteen, passing Bernie Kozar Ernie who did it in
nineteen ninety ninety ninety one season?

Speaker 2 (01:39:31):
Love it crazy? Bill cut Bernie Cozar?

Speaker 4 (01:39:33):
Did he really? I forgot about that?

Speaker 1 (01:39:35):
Oh yeah, A Bernie came in with a blow dryer
and like an old man hairbrush. I will never forget that.
What do you mean, like when when Bernie came, he
was like he came in for no, No, it was
it Bernie. No, No, who's the guy we signed? It
wasn't Bernie Kozar. I'm talking about Ninnie Tes severity, Vinnie Tes.

(01:39:57):
Vinnie T was with us, and remember do you remember
when he had when he couldn't read? Were you there
for that one? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
Hold on?

Speaker 1 (01:40:03):
Yeah, So I mean I'm thinking Vinnie T so and
then I almost went to Flutie, but it was Vinne T.
Flashbacks here been hit a lot, Bill, and you're gonna
love this, dude. So you know, the quarterbacks sat in
the first row right and Vinnie T's right in front
of the podium and Bill's talking about again, probably the
Bengals or something. You know how we'd always say, I mean, look,

(01:40:24):
you can't make this shit up, right, because it sounded
kind of stupid some of them did. So he would
hand like the wire like whatever came off, you know,
he would hand it and he handed it to Vinnie T.
And he's like, lock you read it. I mean, look,
you can't. You can't make this shit up. And he's
looking at it and he's like, all right, go ahead
and read it, and like he's still not reading it,
and he keeps trying to get his arm because he
didn't have his glasses on and he couldn't read it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:45):
And Bill's like, give me that thing and ripped it
out of his hands. If we were dying, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:40:50):
But Vinnie T. Came in and I'll never forget. I'm like,
I'm listening to this sound. Nobody has a hair dryer
in the locker room, Like that's like, what's your grandfather?

Speaker 2 (01:41:02):
You like a hair dryer?

Speaker 1 (01:41:03):
And he had like the old school brush and he's
in there just clopping it up glow dryer, like look
at this guy, you sell again.

Speaker 2 (01:41:11):
I remember his story. I remember once we were leaving
the shower, and it was just reminding I don't know why,
and you go, could you imagine if you used another
person's towel right away? Like you explained to me, like.

Speaker 1 (01:41:24):
Yeah, the last thing I dry off and the first
thing you dry off?

Speaker 2 (01:41:28):
Think about that. Let that that's what I remember you
explaining this to me. Yeah, it's amazing your memory. I
was just so like, what is light talking about? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:41:38):
And then you got it and I got it. And
you imagine if you did that and some people's last
thing they dried off, like if you caught like a
little uh's up the peak guy that's.

Speaker 4 (01:41:49):
At Lasia hit.

Speaker 2 (01:41:50):
Oh my god, lady, how do we celebrate this division
locking down game?

Speaker 6 (01:41:58):
So this was a rare one.

Speaker 1 (01:42:00):
And the reason I love this game is because and
I thought, I honestly thought it was the windy one,
but you refresh my memory so big time snow we
always leave. People don't realize that, right, it could get
a Monday night game. It's like, I don't know what
one o'clock in the morning by the time the buses
finally rolled out, and what, by the way, was that
not the worst waiting on all the equipment, all the.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
B So the worst was the hour drive back from
the Providence Airport that.

Speaker 1 (01:42:28):
We could have gotten in our own vehicles, albeit a
handle deep in crown. I mean, who knows, but things happened,
but probably the best idea we didn't. But yeah, that
was the worst. Man, the word, the travel, the downtime. God,
it was terrible. And then you know you got to
wake up in like hours.

Speaker 2 (01:42:46):
And go get in the clock and run.

Speaker 1 (01:42:50):
We do this again. We're never gonna win out fucking game.
We won thirty ford to nothing, Bill, I mean, it's
not a big deal.

Speaker 2 (01:42:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:42:59):
So so we got stuck in Buffalo, ended up going
on some buses that took us to Rochester.

Speaker 2 (01:43:07):
Because there was a hockey tournament in Buffalo. In Buffalo,
so there was no hotels.

Speaker 3 (01:43:13):
That was the World Juniors. If it was around Christmas,
that's probably what it was.

Speaker 2 (01:43:16):
Yep, yep, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:43:18):
So we on the way to Rochester. I would always
do this hunt and they had this this place called
Dinosaur Barbecue, big shot out Dinosaur Barbecue places, epic. They
always had live entertainment, great barbecue, and we do the
one of Syracuse, but I knew they had a location
of Rochester. And so we call ahead, I get everything
set up, and we basically hit that hotel and immediately

(01:43:42):
the whole team went.

Speaker 2 (01:43:43):
Whole team coaches, coach.

Speaker 1 (01:43:45):
Yeah, it was hammered and never do that, like we
never get an opportunity as a group to go do something.
And that was, man, that was a special day.

Speaker 2 (01:43:54):
Man. That was so fun.

Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
It was so great and just to see coaches being
human and doing like so and by the way, for them,
I think it was a huge relief, you know, just to.

Speaker 2 (01:44:06):
Definitely have that time, man, because the coach, like what,
People don't realize that the coach's got motherfuck just as
much as we did, if not.

Speaker 1 (01:44:15):
Worse, probably worse, man, And longer and.

Speaker 2 (01:44:17):
Longer, the staff would sit and watch every single play
of practice as.

Speaker 1 (01:44:25):
A unit, and then watch it again with us.

Speaker 2 (01:44:27):
Yeah, and then watch again with us, and then watch
it again at night.

Speaker 1 (01:44:30):
And watch again at night. No doubt grueling, man, I'll
tell you, you know. And in a moment, I don't think
I respected it very much in my early years, but
by the time you've been around it long enough, you know,
towards the end of my career, I was like, holy
smokes man.

Speaker 2 (01:44:45):
Yeah, you're leaving to go home after a twelve hour
day and you're watching the coaches see their kids in
the parking lot for an hour before they got night meetings.
No doubt, that's why people ask you want to go
to coach? No, never want to coach.

Speaker 1 (01:44:58):
Ither hit my nestle the rubber Like, that's a terrible idea.

Speaker 2 (01:45:02):
What about a steel hammer?

Speaker 1 (01:45:03):
Yeah I'm not thoor, but yeah that would hurt.

Speaker 2 (01:45:08):
So what happened at this barbecue joint? What do we do?
Chugg chugging beer? There's a lot to you.

Speaker 1 (01:45:14):
By the way, By the way, do they know you're
like you have to be up there on.

Speaker 2 (01:45:17):
A board somewhere. I can chug a beer.

Speaker 1 (01:45:20):
And and the other guy that can chuck a beer,
that's a little kind of a you wouldn't think so
with like he's a little bit of a soft kiddy
and some man categories. I mean, we just roasted him yesterday,
so we can just say it. Tommy can chuck a beer.
He can chug a beer. He doesn't look like a chugger, no,
but he can chuck a beer. He's you know what
that tells me? He can got a good opening.

Speaker 2 (01:45:40):
Of the jaw.

Speaker 1 (01:45:41):
Oh, yeah, yeah, you know he I will never forget.
We used to practice at Bryant's College and that was
a training camp. And there's a little place right when
you turn into Brian College called Parentes, And I'll never
forget because thy law and Lawyer, law Dog and all

(01:46:01):
these guys would be like brand Is and we'd all
go there and we'd sneak in and we get back
right before curfew. And we were there one time and
I remember Izzoh challenged Brady and I'm thinking, dude, is
I was gonna smoke this cat and they and it
was back when they had the pictures and they're pouring
into the like a solo cuffs and I remember Tommy

(01:46:22):
put that thing back and I'm like, oh my god,
this kid's a gamer.

Speaker 2 (01:46:27):
He's a game gamer bringing off a fucking gamer.

Speaker 1 (01:46:30):
Yeah, there was a lot of chugging going on that night.
I remember some guys got lost in the shuffle trying
to get back to it. I remember somebody was late
the next morning to the team meeting.

Speaker 2 (01:46:40):
Who I can't remember who it was, Nino, Oh, it
was Ninko. I was like, this is unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (01:46:46):
It's like number three.

Speaker 2 (01:46:47):
I think it was meat.

Speaker 1 (01:46:48):
I guarantee it was Ninko. It was definitely Ninko. Something
happened to him. He got he got a little sideways
or something. I don't know, but he was definitely late
to the team. And Bill didn't care though.

Speaker 2 (01:46:59):
That was a good point. Yeah, because we clinched. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
we clinched. And it was also a kind of fucked
up schedule. Yes. Also, remember we went to London. We
had that same kind of vibe when we went to
We almost fought the rams.

Speaker 1 (01:47:12):
You guys went to. I was hurt on that one there.
It killed me.

Speaker 2 (01:47:16):
Man, Oh, that was a fun trip.

Speaker 1 (01:47:18):
Killed me.

Speaker 2 (01:47:19):
Dude. Jared is getting like he couldn't even walk to
the bus the next morning because we stayed out.

Speaker 1 (01:47:25):
The Gallery of Diamonds.

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
Jared Jared, Jared Jared our it guy.

Speaker 1 (01:47:30):
It could only be jermy dude. I said that every
time I saw him. By the way, Jared's the best,
the teddy, and Jared Jared's the one like that literally
was losing his mind bringing a new mouse and new
keyboard in for Dante. When I used a little stick
that I put in this computer.

Speaker 2 (01:47:45):
It was stick, the.

Speaker 1 (01:47:46):
One that made his mouse wander all over the place.

Speaker 2 (01:47:48):
Can you how long did you keep this prank? Going?

Speaker 1 (01:47:51):
Seven months and he lost it? Dante Los I forgot
about it, to be honest with you. It wasn't like
a plan that I put it in there towards the
end of one seat and I was testing it and
it had like a thing where you could ramp up
the volume and it could do three different things, but
I chose to do one.

Speaker 6 (01:48:06):
It would just make the mouse wander randomly.

Speaker 1 (01:48:08):
And I remember I put it in and I'd see
it because we'd be watching film and he'd be using
the remote and all of a sudden, the mouse just
kind of wander over. But then it wouldn't do it
for like an hour. So I kind of forgot about it.
And I remember in the off season guys were complaining
about they had a hard time with it, but I
didn't put two and two together. Well, then we got
to OTA's and I'm sitting in there watching film again,

(01:48:29):
I'm like, this sucks, and I see the mouse wander
I'm like, oh snap.

Speaker 2 (01:48:32):
And I sat right in front of Dante.

Speaker 1 (01:48:34):
Because he couldn't see me sleeping, so and I had
an amazing ability to couple tell you this my head
never bobbed, never, and I'd be dead asleep perfectly sitting there.
And Dante recognized it too. He ignowed like, I know,
I know you can sleep without moving your head. It's amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:48:49):
And I'm like, oh, thanks, coach, And so I would.
I could reach right.

Speaker 1 (01:48:53):
Behind me and pull that thing out, and I remember
I ramped it up and I put it back in,
and that's when all hell broke loose and Dante's dog
cussing it. He go get Jimmy D, he go get Jared.
They bring in a new keyboard, a new mouse. They
put it all in then the next day and by
the way, when they come in, I just pop it out,
so they're like messing with their like, coach, well we'll

(01:49:13):
put a new keyboard mouse in.

Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
So that went on for like a.

Speaker 1 (01:49:16):
Week and Dante's losing his shit. He can't run his
meeting right. And the minute he go to click on
something to be like woo, he flung a bitch and
he bring it back over and try to click. I
remember the day I walk in and Jimmy D stops
me and he goes, look me in the eye, and
don't you lie to me. He goes, I found that

(01:49:37):
stick because I forgot to take it out.

Speaker 2 (01:49:38):
One day.

Speaker 1 (01:49:39):
I found that stick that USB drive you put in
a computer, and your dumb ass almost made it so
that I fired XOS. I'm like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (01:49:49):
He's like, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (01:49:50):
What am I talking about? He's like, I couldn't figure
out what the hell is wrong. I'm blaming the software company.
I'm dog cussing them every single day for a freaking week.
He's like, don't ever do that again.

Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
I was like, oh my god, it's amazing. Did you
get him with a shocking remote too?

Speaker 1 (01:50:06):
I did, and that one was so great because he
on his remote control for running the video Cowboy clicker, yep,
the Cowboy. He there's a piece of tape on it
and it said remote and I took mine, and my
remote was it wasn't it wouldn't do nothing. But I
put that sticker, that piece of tape over it, and

(01:50:26):
it had all these little buttons, and it had one
chrome button that was outlined in red, and if I
told you the world would end if you clicked it,
you couldn't help yourself. It was so cool looking, shiny,
you know what I mean. Like it's just like something
you had to press. So I put the little thing
on there, and I'll never forget man, he said, I
didn't tell I never used to tell the guys anything.
And I'm sitting there waiting for the shoe to drop right,

(01:50:47):
and he walks in. He's talking about something up on
the whiteboard, and he comes, all right, we're gonna watch
a little third down here. And he's sitting there and
he's got the tape playing. He goes, oh, he goes,
I got a new remote, and I can hear him
say it.

Speaker 2 (01:50:58):
I'm like, oh shit, here we go. And he goes,
I wonder if.

Speaker 1 (01:51:00):
This thing's got a laser pointer on it, because a
laser pointer on this other one didn't work. He hits
the button. You can hear the electricity go through him.
He's like, oh god, damn it. And he drops it
and he picked it up and did it again. And
that's when we lose it, because the first time that happened, like,

(01:51:23):
Cope's looking at me like holy shit, like what was that?
And I've given him a look like oh my god,
and he did it the second time. And when we
all start losing, he is, okay, all right, you fat fuckers.
He goes, We'll see how funny this is out of practice?

Speaker 2 (01:51:40):
What do you make you do? Run? Oh man? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:51:42):
Yeah, by the way, that okay. So I'm so sorry,
but this was reminded me that look of copin. There's
one other time, and I don't know if you remember this.
Remember Pierre Woods, I lived with them. Do you remember
what I did to him? And this is one of
my This is one that I wish, like hell I
would have. I usually film most of my up I
didn't film this one. No, I didn't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:52:02):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:52:03):
So this is amazing. So one year, going into camp,
I'm thinking about things like, you know, I should do
a dwardo the blow up doll, and I'd be butt
naked stitting over it when the coach would comeing to
do room check. I had two candles typically send it
in Bayberry and like I'd have Marvin Gaye playing and
I'd literally have my ass facing them and I'd be
putting lipstick on a big blow up doll. And when
they walk in, I hear the door open, I turn

(01:52:24):
and be like no, no, no, and they'd be like shit.
It'd be like the young guy and all the other
coach when I walk in. They'd be like, oh, dude,
you should have seen his face now, he was freaking out.
I'm like, I know, I got it good, or I'd
be dancing with him butt naked.

Speaker 2 (01:52:37):
It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:52:38):
I used to love room check man.

Speaker 2 (01:52:39):
Anyway. Ivan was always funny.

Speaker 1 (01:52:42):
Was I even hated it when I did that stuff.
When I found out that Ivan was doing that, I
always had something special for him. He didn't find any
of it funny, I don't think, but that was all right.

Speaker 2 (01:52:51):
I still.

Speaker 1 (01:52:54):
So going getting ready for camp. I'm like, okay, I
gotta do something, and so I went. I went to
a gas station in Foxborough and I bought like, I
think it was like crossword puzzle scratch off tickets, right,
and I bought the whole role. It was like eight
hundred and sixty bucks or something. And I walk in
on like day three, and I dropped it at the

(01:53:14):
beginning of the locker room, and it was like it
was like an accordion. They were all together, and I walked
almost halfway through the locker room and I was like, hey, boys,
if we're gonna be in here all day, we might
as well try to make some money. Let's have some fun.

Speaker 2 (01:53:25):
With it.

Speaker 1 (01:53:25):
So guys are coming over and ripping them off. I
was like, eh, do whatever, man, just scratching them away.
And it worked perfectly because they all became crackheads and
you couldn't get a scratch off ticket in Foxborough. You
drive to another town to get scratch off tickets. I remember,
and there's shavings everywhere, like I mean, shavings over the
whole place. So I let that boil for a while
and about a week and a half into it. Because
now again today, everybody knows these things. Back then, nobody

(01:53:48):
saw the fake scratch off tickets. The problem though, is
that I had to create a narrative because these fake
scratch off tickets they were smaller. So I started talking
about how like, man, you can't find you know, and
I didn't. It just worked out to work out this way.
But I said, I can't find the crosswords, so I've
been doing the four leaf clover or some shit, the
Irish one. And then I'm like, you know what, though,
but they have these really cool ones. I think they're

(01:54:09):
county tickets. It's not state tickets, they're county scratch off tickets.
But they say that the odds are really good on them,
like you can hit big. So I set the scenario.
So this day, in particular, after laying all this ground
where Coping's right next to me, and Pierre was like
right next to me too, and there's a whole bunch
of other guys and they're all crackhead. They're all scratching
tickets and we would let other guys scratch tickets for us, right,

(01:54:30):
So Pierre's sitting there and I had those sitting there,
and I was telling Cope and he heard me talking
about the county ticket and he goes, liter, you want
me scratch some of these for you. I'm like, yeah, man,
whatever you gotta do. So he's sitting there and he's scratching,
and I'm just scratching.

Speaker 2 (01:54:42):
I'm just waiting, scratching.

Speaker 1 (01:54:43):
All of a sudden, he's like, oh, light, dog, you
got you need one more for twenty five Oul, twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:54:49):
Five Poul for one more.

Speaker 1 (01:54:50):
All of a sudden, dude, he scratched it. He's like,
hey dog, hey, hey, hey, light, Like look.

Speaker 2 (01:54:55):
At this shit.

Speaker 1 (01:54:55):
You just want twenty five thousand dollars like you just
want twenty whoop whoop. And he it's up and he
starts running around the locker room and the next thing,
you know, dude, it's like soul trained. Everybody's dancing. They
crank the music up, like.

Speaker 2 (01:55:06):
Twenty five twenty five baby, and he's running all over
the place.

Speaker 1 (01:55:10):
Everybody's amped up. Copein's looking at me. I'm like, damn,
I just want twenty five thousand, you know, And I say, hey, man,
come here. It comes over and I go, I guess
I just take it to where I got it.

Speaker 5 (01:55:20):
Hunt.

Speaker 1 (01:55:20):
I go, it's the same thing about where to claim it?
Now on the back of it, he turns it around
and he goes to claim prize. Please go see Santa
Claus the North pot man.

Speaker 2 (01:55:30):
What the shit?

Speaker 1 (01:55:31):
He's like, if Santa Claus is not available, please see
the Tooth Fairy. And like he's like looking at me
and like huh, And the copin looks at me, and
I'm like and he knows. Immediately Pierre read the whole thing. Finally,
I'm like, I'm sorry, man, I didn't win. He was
so mad at me, dude, so mad at me. But

(01:55:52):
if you would have seen that scene, you would have died, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:55:56):
I remember for a while, scratchers were huge in the
locker room in that training room. That's why, Jesus Jack
what we got all right?

Speaker 4 (01:56:06):
To wrap this thing up, The Pats went on to win,
We got out of Buffalo, got home safely, would finish
the season fourteen and two, but unfortunately lose in the
AFC Division Round in the Can't Wait Game to the
freaking Jets.

Speaker 2 (01:56:23):
Brutal, brutal Bart Scott Bart Scott.

Speaker 4 (01:56:26):
Tom Brady would finish the year with three hundred and
thirty five consecutive pass attempts without an interception, breaking his
own two thousand and seven t D to interception ratio
as well with a record of nine to one. He
was MVP, and the Patriots committed an NFL record low
ten turnovers on the season, Pretty darn impressive and statistically,

(01:56:49):
the twenty ten offense was more efficient play for play
than the record setting two thousand and seven offense, which
is pretty crazy, buts were taken.

Speaker 2 (01:56:59):
Aw We also ran the ball down on people's throat,
by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:57:04):
That that's probably the biggest component I think in in
the offensive you know, game plan, mindset. You know, Dante
used to always say we rush the ball twenty five
times or more, we're gonna win the game. In most
most cases, right, yeah, and it's so true, man, And
I think again, you know, Bill always talked about, you

(01:57:24):
know where you developed toughness, right, offense and defensive line
and special teams, right, and then where specifically in the
run game offensively, you know, if you can develop that
and and again I'll go back to not be the
Debbie downer, but if you can't put the pads on
and hit and condition and get rep after rep after rep,

(01:57:44):
you can't be a good run team. And by the way,
we know we were really good at screens man, And
and that's you know, how delicate that process.

Speaker 2 (01:57:56):
What do you call it? The sideline, the marker in
between the hash where you guys always had to get
to yes, man, and numbers in the hash. Yeah, where
I used to first out, first up.

Speaker 1 (01:58:07):
And then look back. I remember one time Bill came
to me, He's like, why'd you do that? Because I
was running on a tear screen to go kick out
number one, and it'd be one of those where, like,
you know, you'd get coming and I'm trying to kick
the guy out and my fat ass just trying to
get there in time. Well, I'm running full speed at
this dude, and I must have just said. I don't
remember consciously, but I hit the brakes and peeled back

(01:58:30):
and there was a guy trailing and he was behind
me and I hit him. He was most dangerous. Just happened.
And Bill's like, I'll never forget. He's never come and
asked me a question like that. But even I when
I was when I did it, I was like, I
don't know why I did that, but I'm glad I
did that shit. And he came and asked me. He's like,
why'd you do that? Because you shouldn't have done that,
But I'm glad you did that. But dude, screens were

(01:58:53):
Screens are such an important part of an offense, and
they're so hard that you have to have smart physical players.

Speaker 2 (01:59:01):
Slows down the pass rush.

Speaker 1 (01:59:02):
Oh, such a weapon, man, it's a huge weapon.

Speaker 2 (01:59:05):
I know it.

Speaker 1 (01:59:06):
Run game and screens, man, That's that's what I would
focus on, man, if I was coaching today in the NFL,
all the other stuff. You know a lot of teams
can do. You know certain aspects of the overall passing
game pretty well.

Speaker 2 (01:59:18):
Yeah, as you know better than anything is you can't
control the game unless you run the ball.

Speaker 1 (01:59:22):
Yeah, you know what I mean that's how you control
the game. Well, how bad were you dying when we
would go into these no huddle you know, throwing like
every single you know, Timmy wanted to throw the ball
every down, right, Yeah, you guys had to be dying
at times.

Speaker 2 (01:59:37):
Yeah, it was tough. I mean when we played in
that Super Bowl in sixteen, we had one hundred and
like ten or fifteen offensive plays. That's a big game.
That's two games, yeah, like a legit two games where
he had one hundred and ten plays or something. It
was gnarly. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:59:53):
Man, we've had games in the fifties. Yeah, you know,
I mean that's two that's two damn games.

Speaker 2 (01:59:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:00:00):
Know how they could do that today and keep it
up at a high level, Dude.

Speaker 2 (02:00:03):
It's gonna it's it's gonna pendule him back. Because linebackers
are getting small. Linebackers are two hundred and twenty five pounds.
It's fucking crazy, two thirty Yeah, and you can exploit
that right, Yeah, to your point, you can get you can.
They're light, and a lot of the dns they just
want to rush. You know. All these guys are built

(02:00:23):
for fucking pinning their ears back and getting to the quarterback.

Speaker 1 (02:00:26):
You think about the guys that we were blocking up front,
the Dwight Freenies and the Mathis's, and I mean even
think about our division. Like a guy like Aaron Shobel
Hustler just got after right, John Abraham for me in
the early days, Serxes or Jason Taylor.

Speaker 2 (02:00:44):
Yeah, because he did look just like he really did.
He did Acrod Oh yeah, man, yeah, school too, he
was homeschooled. Yeah. Man, you know Gronk lived with them
in high school. When Grenk get kicked out of school
and with j T. Yeah, his family. He went to
Pittsburgh Wild. That's a weird combination. It's weird, well Gronk,

(02:01:11):
Gronk said, in the sense, I guess he sends an
email to one of his teachers like suck my piece
or something. Yeah, it got kicked out of school and
so I went to Pittsburgh to play high school football.

Speaker 1 (02:01:28):
From what I heard, he was very flexible when he
was in high school. Gronk was he yeah, yeah, is
this a joke? No, but you should probably talk to
him about that.

Speaker 4 (02:01:39):
Oh what he's on next time?

Speaker 2 (02:01:41):
I won't be that guy. Ohod just you.

Speaker 1 (02:01:47):
Know, good hamstring flexibility. I mean, he was a good athlete.

Speaker 2 (02:01:51):
Obviously he's a monster, very flexible. Jack wet he left over.

Speaker 4 (02:01:57):
We got a couple. Uh, just to clarify here, shout
out to Clark Hunt and the Kansas City Chiefs. Just
got rid of the stools in the locker room this march.
Replace them with shares.

Speaker 2 (02:02:06):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (02:02:07):
They were one of the last holdouts.

Speaker 1 (02:02:09):
That's always good for them.

Speaker 2 (02:02:10):
I don't remember them. I do remember them because anytime
we play a stool thing, I would think about you
a stool team like that.

Speaker 4 (02:02:17):
Like, oh my god. And we got to give a
little love to Scar getting his IMDb credits up. The
movie The Steeler and the Pittsburgh Kid nineteen eighty one,
starring Jhontay Scarnekia as coach Uh. The movie was based
on the the Me and Joe Green coke commercial, which
is pretty crazy. Yeah, insane, pretty good. Yeah, it was

(02:02:39):
h it's a deep cut. I love that one.

Speaker 2 (02:02:42):
Scar.

Speaker 4 (02:02:43):
We gotta go back and watch that one.

Speaker 2 (02:02:44):
We'll be right back after this quick break. Now, let's
name the game. What's the name of this game? We're
staying in Buffalo Turnover Fest twenty ten. What is that?
We didn't have any turnovers. It's seven only four to
seven four seven, But we didn't turn the ball over.

Speaker 4 (02:03:06):
No, that's true. We got anything else, or you.

Speaker 2 (02:03:08):
Got a better name for this game. Dinosaur for life.
Here we go, dinosaur for life. Yeah, baby, Now, let's
score the game. Is this the greatest game of all time?
Let's score it. That's a zero steaks huh?

Speaker 1 (02:03:24):
Not the greatest game of all time?

Speaker 2 (02:03:25):
No way, one to ten decimals. Okay, steaks steaks point
point five point five? Yeah, you do it too. Yeah,
I'll say a four five.

Speaker 1 (02:03:39):
Yeah, you're right, you're right.

Speaker 2 (02:03:40):
But yeah, a great scheme with me. It's Buffalo, you
know what I'm saying. Little brothers. You know, it sucks
that now we're the little brothers. And I know, at
least when we were the older brothers, like the big
boys on the block, we were going out beating up
the other kids.

Speaker 1 (02:03:54):
By the way, one of the greatest Buffalo games was
we ship low Doll down there, lawyer ly and they
whoop our tail thirty one and nothing season opener yep.
And by the way, we shipped in there like the
week before and it was so awkward, you know, how
like when that white buffalo comes in and snatches a dude.
The feeling in there is so weird, especially when it's

(02:04:16):
one of your top guys.

Speaker 2 (02:04:18):
And then can you explain what the white buffalo is? Yeah?
Like this.

Speaker 1 (02:04:21):
So we always said, there's this bend that they bring
out in the locker room and they throw all the
guy's stuff and they clear out that locker and you
come in and man, that dude's just gone the turk.

Speaker 2 (02:04:32):
Yeah, man, and.

Speaker 1 (02:04:34):
That when that happens to a guy like him, though, Man,
it takes a little bit Like I like when Logan
was traded. That was weird that that had to be crazy.
I wasn't there for that, obviously, but you were there.

Speaker 2 (02:04:44):
I was there. It was crazy. I was like, what
the fuck are we doing?

Speaker 1 (02:04:47):
And by the way, what was he thinking?

Speaker 2 (02:04:49):
We won a super Bowl that year?

Speaker 1 (02:04:51):
I know it's the crazy thing, but that was not
a good move on his part in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (02:04:56):
But whatever, what do I know. I'm not a world
record coach. You're a world record, handsome gentleman. Let's get
back to star power, you know, to say that when
when one to ten star power of this game, I.

Speaker 1 (02:05:11):
Don't know four with these numbers.

Speaker 2 (02:05:14):
It's all right, I'll say six. Okay. The gameplay of
this game, it was a blowout.

Speaker 1 (02:05:20):
Well, I mean from our perspective, it was pretty pretty stellar,
pretty amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:05:24):
Guys ran with two hundred and fourteen yards.

Speaker 1 (02:05:26):
Every fat man's dream, man's just to run the ball
every single play.

Speaker 2 (02:05:30):
You rather hit someone than get hit all day.

Speaker 1 (02:05:32):
Long, man back in, go forward. Give me a nine
on gameplay, I'll give it a eight one. What's the name?
Category mean?

Speaker 2 (02:05:42):
You gotta you gotta score the name of the game. Oh, okay,
score the name of the game.

Speaker 3 (02:05:45):
And the cultural impact of the game.

Speaker 1 (02:05:47):
How much it like that has a lasting? Yeah, I'm
gonna I'm gonna go nine again because I I felt
it on this game.

Speaker 2 (02:05:54):
I'm gonna go seven point eight seven eight all right, geez,
look at these guys. The Russian We went full Russian judge.

Speaker 4 (02:06:03):
That was before I knew it. I had a great name.
Dinosaur for Life game.

Speaker 2 (02:06:06):
Five point eight? Where's that? Where does that go on?
On the leaderboard? That puts us dead last? Just below game.

Speaker 4 (02:06:15):
Two of the twenty fourteen n LDS. So we're like the.

Speaker 1 (02:06:19):
Let's have a whole system here. This is like, uh,
it's wild.

Speaker 2 (02:06:22):
Those are all the games we've done. That's a lot.
There's a lot of work being put into this. I see.

Speaker 1 (02:06:27):
It's you know, you know, like so I've never been
on social media in my life. Yeah, and so I'm
a little bit of a dinosaur myself in that respect.
But you know what, here's my theory, man. I think
it's actually going to become like the cool thing down
the road, to be like retro No, yeah, you know
what I mean, like bell bottoms and all this stuff.
It ends upcoming cyclical, right. I think there's going to
be a cachet to the people that like, I don't

(02:06:48):
know anything about this cat, like I can't find nothing.
I mean, although I've kind of shared most of my
secrets today except for one. Thank you, Thank you center,
next one, next.

Speaker 2 (02:07:01):
Time, next time. Let's really good, it's got it. We
have everybody in. You gotta ring the boys in.

Speaker 1 (02:07:07):
I always feel like somebody's what. I started singing that
and he finished it in the shower. Do you remember
did you know that? I know you're gonna love that.
I'm never gonna love that. That happened in real time.
We're at the fighting artichokes or something, and I started
singing that right next and he finished it and we

(02:07:28):
almost lost it. Don't be an idiot, all right, stop
this is terrible, Matt. You want to plug anything and man,
you know what, as you know, Man, as much fun
as I like to have shoot out and the foundation. Man,
look you know again, I was the most fortunate guy ever.
I didn't know anything about what I was getting myself into.

(02:07:50):
Got to play with guys like yourself, so many others.
We did it at a high level, We had fun
doing it, we won, and all of that gave me
a platform.

Speaker 2 (02:08:01):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:08:01):
We work with about seventy five hundred kids annually. It's
all about leadership, man, It's about speaking the truth to
young people.

Speaker 2 (02:08:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:08:08):
We don't sugarcoat things. We push them outside their comfort zone.
We take kids that maybe would have never had an
opportunity to do something. We spend time with them, my dad,
my mom, my wife, my kids, my aunts and my uncles,
our employees. I love it. It's been my life passion.
I mean when I was playing, when we were playing together,
I spent two weeks in the woods running what we

(02:08:30):
call our cultural leadership camp Camp buhocause and I would
go from being in New Yorks with these kids for
two weeks not working out and I do nothing and
then freaking out because I had like five days to
run the conditioning tests to get my ass ready. But
my mind was right.

Speaker 2 (02:08:41):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:08:41):
When I got the camp, I was good.

Speaker 2 (02:08:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:08:43):
And so it's like been a passion of mine. You know,
I come from a family of educators. My mom taught
for thirty five years music. My dad is a you know,
world renowned, you know, just guy in so many different
fields and teacher, and so you know, the work we
do through the Life Foundation is all about getting kids
to just understand what it means to look people in

(02:09:03):
the eye, treating with respect, earn what they get. Entitlement
gets us nowhere. And if I think for young people today,
those are the lessons that serve me well. I mean
I would have been a total deadbeat, degenerate if I
didn't have football and somebody pushing me. Not because my parents,
my parents, I mean, I grew up in I was
very fortunate, stable home, right parents poured into me. Mom

(02:09:28):
prayed a lot because she had a dumb ass son.
And you know that's what I love doing now, man,
and I've been fortunate to do it. I mean, look,
We've been around for twenty four years, almost right, twenty
three years, and we work with about seventy five hundred
kids annually. They come through the camp and everything from
youth hunts to timber framing Camp teach how kids how

(02:09:49):
to turn timbers into you know, usable parts in a
frame to build a home, or build a shed or
a covered bridge or a treehouse, all kinds of different things.
Amount of love that so you know the shootout is
what I mean. We raise all our money. We don't
get support from the federal government. We can't get any
of this. And as you know, I know you've been
to the shootout. Will be our twentieth year.

Speaker 2 (02:10:10):
Jesus.

Speaker 1 (02:10:11):
We got t far a hell of a country music
artist coming in to celebrate. When is it September seventeenth, Man,
it's gonna be awesome. It's a Tuesday. Always on a Tuesday.
I'm trying to get Bill. We'll try to get Bill
a show up for the first time because he's not working.
He's got nothing to do. Do your job more like
need a job?

Speaker 2 (02:10:30):
Got him?

Speaker 5 (02:10:31):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:10:32):
But I can say I can first hand remembered like
Matt light stud football player, but always was making a
huge impact with his foundation, the Matt Light Foundation. I mean,
he did it for as long as I could remember.
You always knew about the shootout. You always knew Matt
was doing something for his foundation. He's raised a lot
of money to help a lot of people, and I'm

(02:10:54):
super happy for you. Everyone. Go check out the Matt
Light Foundation on all social platforms, Matt Light, Matt Lightfoundation
dot com.

Speaker 1 (02:11:03):
Matt Light seventy two dot com and uh yeah, man,
you know you want to get involved or want to
do something, check out one of our events. All the
information is on there, plus the programming. Man's that's the
most important part.

Speaker 2 (02:11:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:11:15):
We got great kids, we got great staff, and we're growing. Man.
We're gonna open up a trade school before too long.

Speaker 2 (02:11:20):
Man. Awesome.

Speaker 1 (02:11:21):
I think that's a big deal. I think it's what
we need. We need kids that are willing to put
into work. And by the way, if you're in a
trade today, you can make bank and you can work
for yourself if you wanted to. Yeah, you know what
I'm saying, and we need that. We got to rebuild
this country. You know, my last little thing here. We
used to do great things in this country, man. We
used to build great things. Now it's all I Kia,

(02:11:41):
it's all cheap. We used to have public private partnerships.
Look at the real leaders, the people that built this country.
We took pride in what we have. What's the last
thing that was built in La or any major city
in this country that you can look at and say, man,
that's a that's a work of art. Go to Philadelphia,
go look at some of the the architectural stuff. Look
at New York City, but it's all old. We have

(02:12:04):
to take pride in what we do again. Man, we
got to raise people that respect this country and what
it represents. You don't have to like every aspect of it.
You have to like everybody that's leading it. But we
have to be able to look at each other and
have enough common ground and respect to not get caught
up in all this bs because it's just stupid, and
just go out there and work hard to be the
best at what we do, no different than what we

(02:12:26):
did on the field. We want to be the best
and we can do that as a country. And we
got to get young people to understand that it's not
just going to happen and nobody owes you anything, and
so buckle up, get ready to go get it. And
by the way, when you earn it, it's a hell
of a lot sweeter lot sweeter. Oh yeah, man, so
I want to go.

Speaker 2 (02:12:45):
Can I vote for you right now?

Speaker 1 (02:12:47):
Hey, you just come work with our kids, man, because
that's all we got to do. If you want to
make a change, work with young people. And here's an
last thing I say. You can change the narrative today.
It's taking people a long time to instill this terrible
world ethic. Yeah, and to break down the fiber of
who we are as a country, because you know what
it gives other people power. Well, you can undo that
overnight just by holding kids accountable. I've seen it in

(02:13:09):
the work we do.

Speaker 2 (02:13:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:13:10):
And uh, man, we're so fortunate we have awesome kids
we work with.

Speaker 2 (02:13:13):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:13:14):
I give a shout out to them and our whole staff.
Man there, it's a blessing to work with a man.

Speaker 2 (02:13:18):
We love it. I gave a shout out to you.
And that was an unbelievable episode.

Speaker 1 (02:13:22):
Wow, I loved it, man, Thanks for having me, Thanks
for coming, and we survived last night. And I would
say you were flipping unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (02:13:29):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:13:29):
I was nervous for you. Guys, and you guys crushed it,
So I hope everybody watches that.

Speaker 2 (02:13:33):
Man, it was fun. It was fun the roast check
it out. Thanks Matt for coming in, Bubbs. Yeah, buddy man,
Matt light funny, funny guy. I told you he'd be great.

Speaker 7 (02:13:46):
The amount of money and time and energy he spends
just from pranking people.

Speaker 4 (02:13:52):
Incredible dudes like all three and practical jokers rolled into one.

Speaker 2 (02:13:56):
I remember my rookie year. I didn't get I forgot.
It just popped in my head. He was the first
one to have segways. He had like eight of them
at his house. Yes, no way like he had. He
had the coolest toys always.

Speaker 4 (02:14:10):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:14:11):
He was so fun and he also I also remember
once asking him on the plane because Matt's a very
smart guy. Oh yeah, you know, both of his parents educated,
you know what I mean, got you know, he's smart. Yeah.
And I was sitting there and I was just I
was in like something weird, and he used to sit
like write in front of me. I go, Bro, isn't

(02:14:31):
it crazy? We're in like a forty ton ten can
thirty thousand feet above air? He goes, No, Bro. Aeronautical
engineering so easy to actually know that birds and he
walks away or something. He like fully smug me off.
Have you never heard of birds? Yeah, he's like, no,

(02:14:54):
it's very easy actually to understand why we're in the air.

Speaker 3 (02:14:57):
I shot three this morning.

Speaker 2 (02:15:00):
Bit. I wonder if he stole anything.

Speaker 3 (02:15:02):
I love I love I love it.

Speaker 7 (02:15:03):
I love how he was like, oh, I've caught someone
stealing we had these like security cameras whatever, And then
he spent the next whole episode talking about all the
ship stolen.

Speaker 4 (02:15:12):
I was gonna say, if we ever need a heist,
I'm hiring him and his babysitter and we're taking down
We're oceans and anything.

Speaker 2 (02:15:19):
We are oceaning up with Matt Light, and Matt Light
would be he'd actually he'd be a really good heist guy.

Speaker 3 (02:15:25):

recommendation for maybe doing something different with the games with names.
Maybe doing an action sport, you know, maybe one of
those type masters Kelly Slater winning it All surfing title,

(02:17:24):
Surfing Champion eleven times. Maybe do one of those iCal
big waves competitions, maybe the nine hundred pulled by Tony
Hawk in the X Games, or maybe one of those
legendary performances by the fline Tomato, Sean White. I think
that would be kind of cool. Get a different type

(02:17:44):
of sport. Show some love to those guys with the
great balance and the balls of steel. Appreciate taking my call.
