They got sixteen holes thrown him back in at least. And he's like, I bring little kids and people like you set out here so you can catch the y'all y'all with children at my house. I started my lake behind the house. So I live in Davy, and I call it the Davy Bass Relocation Program. So Joe, actually Joe Rose caught me in his backyard one time, and so I'm back there. I'd ride. I have a golf cart with a big cooler with air raiders in it, and I have a bucket of mentals in the front of me and my kids ride around and catch all these big gass bass and put them behind my house. It's fucking loaded. So then they come back there, they're like, hey, it's a fish back there. You like the fish. That's my step talks, that's my step boys. Hey, fish back down, man, these gators?

I think I know about her at this Travis wanna come my seth boys and traveling what they're saying, No, I fine, don't worry about it. We'll figure it out on the back end. So channing. You know, a few years ago, Jason Jackson hosted He for a charity a roast and they roasted Jason Taylor and so we're out there and somehow Crowder gets invited to be one of the roastmasters, and so all I'm all excited, and they had professional comedians and they open up with Crowder and I'm like, ready, I'm my boss is gonna get I'm just gonna laugh at my boss the whole time. And ten minutes of the opening act is Crowder just ripping me I said, wait, I'm not the guy getting roasted here. They said I can make fun of anybody I want to, and I chose me. I lit all y'all asses, this is what I do. It's the it's really the locker room environment is exactly what people love at that locker room thing where it's like, hey, nobody's off limits. So what I do want to say, because we do have some questions here for you, but what I do want to say, because you are it's unbelievable the way you're moving right now. The Pivot is one of and I'm not just saying this because you're here, but unbelievable what you've created with The Pivot. It's one of the top podcasts. Don't listen to me. The charts speak for themselves, consistently at the top of the charts, absolutely consistently, and now the most historic, longest running weekly series that the National Football League has right yeah, Inside the NFL and Shannon Crowder is on Inside the NFL. Thank y'all, Thank you so much. But what somehow gets lost in the story, and I think Juice and I like to take a little credit here. Oh yeah, for sure, we got you start in this whole he was. He was intrigued Big Seth. He got us a big word like manname his first ever and actually Joe Rose too, but his first ever podcast. Tell me if I'm lying, Nope, the fish tank it was, it was. And y'all, y'all give a lot of love like y'all did give love to Seth. You gotta ride your cotails on this thing. I I met Juice and Seth when I got down here in oh five, so what's that eighteen going on? Nineteen years ago? Jews embraced me like crazy, like Juice loves the fucking Dolphins, like y'all don't understand when you watched the game. This motherfucker got binoculars. I saw us asking the preseason game. He does love the preseason. I'm like, Jews, God, damn bro, this clearly making the team. This dude's not making the team. This dude, why are you watching them so close? But they love it and set them in apart so long. But they they were really embraced me as a young dude coming down third round and just not really know, like I didn't know I was twenty one, I live as a sophomore in college. I just know I couldn't get arrested anymore in Gainesville, so I had to go somewhere. So I came down here. And just like I tell people all the time, the only organization, only franchise that has an alumni based like the Dolphins, is the Pittsburgh Steelers that people really sit together. Juice is one hundred and sixteen years older, but Juice was around like he was on the team. Juice was there. I talked to Juice a hundred times when I was a rookie, and he was right there, and you know, and he was he was sliding knowledge. And that's one thing, like with all the success, is one thing I do is I listen to people. And I think that's a lost, lost thing now with all these young motherfuckers, with these twitters and bullshit, they don't listen to people. All they want to do is the next thing. And I do listen to people, and I think that's where a lot of my success come from. But Juice was still still knowledge on me. Seth was running with JT, and JT was my old g as well. So when I saw the respect that JT had for Seth, then I was like, he's a good dude. Like for JT, for Jason Taylor to have the admiration here. For Seth, I was like, oh, like, this's a good dude too. And I listened to y'all and I learned so much from y'all that I still used to this day. And that was the one thing I'll say think cause I told y'all beforming the fish thing. I've been on his motherfucker eighteen times. But I would say, I would say, it's not like a co host at this point. Yeah that God damn y'all might would get five chairs out this bitch, but I would. I would say that that y'all really embraced me as a young They draft between six and twelve motherfuckers every year. You don't know who's gonna make it be some sorry bitch, and all the people I took their job was sorry. But y'all didn't know if I could play, just like Zach didn't know if I could play, just like Jason, just like Junior, just like Kevin Carter, just like Keith Trailer saying Maddison, who's my man? Mad Dogs Monster? They don't know if you can play. But you saw that love from the Dolphin alumni and it was very special down here, and I go around the league. We do training camp tours with the Pivot. But the only other team that I see that has the alumni base and the love from the older players like we do with the Dolphins is the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they're one of the oldest, most respected organizations in the league. And I don't think the Dolphins get the credit that they need for that because it's we have something special down here. We really have something special down here. So Chandy, you know, Seth always wants to take credit for you know, you've been who you are, you know in the radio game, in the business, but he neglects to talk about when you took your but the Rackety University of Florida. You know you're an All American, you played middle linebacker for the Miami Dolphins for six years. Award winning radio hosts, as we all know, thank you. That's all fish take or later, right, But my award, all that, all that, my awards is that what I said. I don't think that's how I frames him. I work every day from two to six. Y'all fishes work one hour a week. Maybe maybe maybe we do it has me Son well, I think it bowled down to you almost being late to that to the six job when you was at our putting my pool table for hours, drinking up all my beer. But it worked out good though, right, So look we're right now, right, it was it was I'll tell you the fish things started at Juice's house, and Juice's house was a party house. It was you're walking in everything to me at that point, it wasn't thought this point. It calmed down at that point. At that point, yeah, jus like it calmed down, but you could see the potential if you were single. He had this big ass playroom at a pool table theater and all it was painted purple like prints. You just need to ask the question. I'm trying to get there. I know what you're getting out to know, y'all did that. You did put me on different platforms. The reach that y'all gave me I never had without without being on the fish tank as many times as it was. And I didn't see y'all saw the vision because y'all started the fish tank before the whole podcasting thing. Y'all already doing the fish tank when I was just doing radio, and I didn't understand podcasting until I got with with I Am Athlete first and we left and then did the pivot. But y'all really, y'all really had something going before any of us, All us players knew about it. And that's that's honest true. Y'all go back and look at the look at the timeline, whatever that shit is, and see that it was. It was something that y'all saw, y'all's vision, the Dolphin's vision, and that everybody knew. It was something where podcasting was funny. I got asked through a podcast before I started with it, and I was like, who's watching this? I'm not gonna watch this shit. Y'all saw it, y'all saw the vision. And now I've never done a livestow in front of people. That's why I'm cranking up because now it's motherfuckers laughing. This is your first live show, this is my first live show I've ever done. Well, damn it, I got it. Johnny Williams is here. I needed to negotiate something because every time we start some now he's gonna go do some live show on a national level somewhere. Y'all been at this goddamn check. I don't work for free. Well, I've never quit a job in my life. I've only been five. Yeah, never quit, never quit a job in my life. You know, Tanny, we're only we're only joking about, you know, being the reason you are that's successful as you are. Man, You're right, Man, it's all about you and what you've been able to do. Man, and Seth alluded to it earlier, Man, and everybody gave it around applause. Man, welcome to your new gig man inside the NFL once again. Man, thank y'all so much. That's a big deal. Man, that's a big ass deal. Man. It is man, and it's Ryan Clark. I got very cool with him, and he's taught me, like just listen, and I was saying, like and even y'all real talk like people. People always think I'd be forty in a couple of months, and people always think like you you never know what you can do, You never know what people can tell you. And that's why I just listening to y'all guys, and Travis I we left you out because the fish tank was part of it. This motherfucker's rain man in fourteen ninety seven, forty nine hundred yards and this shit is crazy. What he can do my boys, sounds so much better when it's on you than but like even seeing that and seeing so taking taking so much from everybody, But it's just it's just listening to people and seeing what you can do and like taking chances. Like when the inside the NFL thing came up, so Ryan, Ryan got me involved. So even the pivot takeover of First Take and Get Up last year, and Ryan came up like, hey, they want us to come on together. I was like, cool, let's go. He was like, do you need any help? Do you need any emails? I was like, bitch, you were talking like ask me a question, I'll give you a fucking answer. And then that stuff blew up. And then even Stephen Ain't called me. Stephen A Smith called me. Was like, hey, the ratings are usually low on Fridays in the other days, but he was like, when y'all came on, the ratings were equal with the other days. He was like, it's working. So that's why. So they have a very analytical thought process that those big networks. So they saw it. And so then this year a lot of people don't notice, but we're gonna have another pivot takeover of you know, Friday, either Thursday or Friday is gonna rotate with that. But it's really just taking chances like it's it's a jay Z song. When he said that, it was like my my, my men are they say, man, he said, yeah, I got but he was like, y'all, y'all are doing what y'all can. My men are taking chances, and that's what really I just do. It's like any opportunity comes to me, like fuck, you're gonna fail, but you're gonna learn. Like that's all that's gonna happen. Like if I went on ESPN one time, it was terrible, they never called me back, so then I would be on ESPN zero times instead of that one. I'm going on this one and see what y'all think. Then I'm gonna come on the second one to see what y'all think. This third one is fourth, and especially the sixth one and now esp and then inside the NFL comes up. But that's the whole thing. I will tell y'all. I am a college drop out. I got thirty credits at University of Florida. There are so many more thirty. It was eligible the whole time I took I took social dance twice. It's a great class. I had that class. You took social dance in the Florida gym. In the Florida class, I took bowling twice. I took golf. I took this is the Florida's called a football vocational school. You go to Florida to go to the league. They were like, hey, what's your major? I said, general population? Like you know what a major in my major is general population? Because it's NFL is gonna come calling soon. I'm fine, I'm six three two fifty running four five. I'm the bitches about the call sooner or later, fellas, but it's the thing now in the second act, and a lot of guys struggled to not to get too serious, but a a lot of guys struggle. A lot of guys. I know a lot of guys. I my boys, my homeboys, my friends. I talked to you all the time. They struggled without football. And that was the one thing that like I always talk about that, like I never saw I taught myself, like I looked at football and it was I never saw football as an end, like it was a job. So I would go the whole you know, the first person in the building, last person out of the building. That type thought I was that guy. I was in there with Junior, say, at five am, working out. I was a last dude sitting there with Zach Thomas watching a million fucking I was a film with his little ass. But when I went home, I was I worked at Walmart. Like I'm off the clock, I'm about to go to tutsis, I'm about to go to diamonds, I'm about to go to the beach. I'm about the party. I'm about to say. I used going problem on twelve with flip flops on his shorts and hay top. But I never I never looked at it as like this end. I look that to a means to an end. And that was the thing that now in this, in this new place, it's the same thing, like there's there's never an end to your to your life of what you can do. Like there, I'll tell you all this. I got a cameraman here tonight because I'm about to do some crazy stupid shit coming up here this year. My wife's right there too. I'm about to do some wild shit coming up. Wait a second, and you're about to do crazy stupid shit I'm about everything we've seen up to this point. It is nothing. Don't believe me. Just watch but try like my whole thing. What I tell a lot of people, And that's why I gave Ryan Clark. We taught it in Inside of the NFL. I come. I always come back around to the to the topic. It's just like, there's no fear and success. There's never fear and success. It's trying it. Yeah, I'm gonna like me fuck you, like real talk, Like what's what Bernie Mac has something he would like? If people don't like it for being you will fuck him. And that's what I do. And all I do is just beat myself every day every time I have a chance, and people enjoy the people don't like it. Can that be the name of this episode? Do you think that will fly? I don't think we can do that. Probably not. Yeah, speaking of that and Channing, you mentioned coming on some little rinky dig podcast back in the day. One of those podcasts actually was my show before I got to the Dolphins, and I can never tell you how much that meant to me, the time to have you come on and talk some football with me. I think you gave me the little rain Man compliment at that point too, spouting off fourteen ninety seven whatever it might have been, but it was it was local coverage I was doing with Dolphins, and I was doing it actually from the Pacific Northwest, so you know, covering the local team from I heard your white boys, your babies or your babies yelling. Someone yelling in the back of somebody young was yelling. I remember chaos. Not quite mom's basement, but close enough. Yeah. Yeah, but you know on that show, I remember having you on in my audience has always been one that likes the x's and no in the bullshit defense. You were talking about cover three, Cover four bullshit, and you talked about Jerome Baker in a way that I don't think most fans knew about, just all the responsibility he had in the defense. I thought, Jenning's doing all this shit, and yet he's still is grounded in what made him, you know, got him to this point the game football, right, And so I'm wondering, first of all, how the heck do you even have time to stay relevant and stay current in the game, But also are you still as attached to the Dolphins where all the rivalries the Jets and Bills and Patriots. Do you still kind of find yourself saying like, I don't want to give those teams there? There do still no one hundred percent. I'm in and being in Miami, A lot of people like when you're and it's not always on the air, and I do a hundred radio shows a week I go, I go on a bunch of radio shows a week, and they always want to ask about the Dolphins. So I do stay in touch with it and talking to some people, even these two guys like y'all, three guys, you know what I'm saying, like and even hearing hearing y'all stuff, and like when I'm in the car, I listen to yall stuff. I listen to your podcast because I know I'm gonna get that fucking seventy six percent down on passes over nine and a half yards and all that crazy shit. And so I just I just retained it, but I but I am involved with it, and I do like love, I love what the Dolphins are doing right now, So I do keep up with it because of the fact that it's home team and I'm a Buccaneers fan. Y'all. Boom, if y'all want to I'm a Buccaneers fan. My daddy played for him. I lived in Tampa, Doug William seventy nine. From worst to first, Richard Batman would do we Salem and Leroys Salem and y'all kiss my fucking ass. That's what I remember when I was a baby. So I'm a Bucks fan. But to answer you a question, Travis, I really embraced the Dolphin culture. And like I said earlier, I don't think they get enough credit for what they do for the alumnie and how they helped the alumni, and how I know. I can call anybody on the Dolphin silly not More played with my dad, and I can call Nat more and ask him anything to do any whatever where I need, Like it's I go up to go up the trail. But if I know, like hey, I need Beyonce parking pass because then Beyonce tickets word specific shite. So my wife had me get twelve thousand dollars worth of Beyonce tickets. I said, I ain't paying no fucking parking pass. I hope I didn't give you like an orange pass. So called Nat. I hit NAT was like NAT, and I got the email. A couple of days later. But that's the thing, and I'm I boughshit a lot of y'all see, but I do. I do embrace the Dolphins. I love the Dolphs. I know every player, I know every backup. And so when people want to argument about the Dolphins, like Colin Calherd always going to go at Tour and I'm like, man, kiss my ass, Like two is a monster. When two played them six games, Bro three hundred yards a game, Bro Tour is a monster. He just has to stay healthy. What makes my monster? What makes him special? His accuracy, his his understanding of the game. He really like you see him, he checks. It's like that little dumb ass camera they put on his ham and everybody want to talk about it. I looked at that camera and saw that mocking look twice both ways in like three seconds, and I was like, this shit's impressive. But people don't know. They're like, oh, I ain't goofy. I'm like, no, this ship makes sense. And so but seeing it from a side of to get back to your question, driving seeing it from a side of playing against Peyton Manny, playing against Tom Brady, playing against Drew Brees, playing against the Wood. All the babies. Rivers was a monster too, But playing against those guys and singing their processing, I had to look. I had to look at the processing of a quarterback. Two A processes at a level that's above his age. He processes defenses at a level that is on the I don't want to see. Whenever you bring up Brady and Rogers and all those guys, they're like, oh, you're fan and Rogers as Seth boys, but that now it's mine again. Great, but they're like, oh, you comp I'm like, I'm not comparing to Rogers. But how he sees the field is so special, and he knows this simple thing in the world, Tyreek Hill is about to get open sooner or later. He's two goddamn fast, and Tua knows that. And whenever he knows his break and they have the timing down like you're seeing, like Tyreek said, he's gonna have two thousand yards. I don't know about. That's a lot of damn yards, But Tyreek gonna have seventeen hundred plus because him and two on the same page. But Two's processing. It was just reconfirmed when I saw that helmet video and saw him check right, check left, and go back right and deliver the ball. He had his hand off the ball before he went back and I was like, Oh, that's that's special vision of the field. So, as I told you, I came from the Pacific Northwest. Didn't make they wait un to Maddolphins games when I was younger. But one game I went to was in two thousand and eight against the New England Patriots at what is now known as hard Rock Stadium. And many years after that fact, you had told me the story backstage one of our draft parties, and you gave me the goods on what provoked you that day to get into a fight was Patriots left tackle Matt light Man. I'm a fucked off enough today you think you people want to hear that story. Yeah, Channing exit at the stadium that day like a rock star. He was shaking the braids. He was doing a fish hooking the mouth type of deal walking out the tunnel. Fans were just keeping praise on you for that. Y'all know this story, I'm I'll clean it up a little bit. Okay, there we go, I got it. I know. So there there's trash talking, and then there's second level trash talking. Then they like there's players and there's Pro Bowl players. I wasn't gonna make no probo. I knew. I watched it was about halfway through oh five, my friend, my rookie year, freshman year, my rookie year, and I watched Zach. He was so cerebral. He knew if number eighty six was to the field, then there's a ninety percent chance they're gonna run towards him. But it was another tie and it's probably gonna be bad. Like he was so cerebral, Junior say, I was just was just but he was just instinctual, Like he didn't study like Zach. But he would see some ship at last second. And his thing was CC, I'm gone. When I played with Junior, he say, CEC, I'm going. It was a Jets game where he had Wayne carbet Man the man in the slot, and he said, CEC, I'm gone, and I had the running back and I was I kind of looked like, Junior, you can't leave the slots to blitz because now I got a covered Wayne Crabet in the slot and this fucking running back. So he was just instinctual. He'd see something, he'd see the quarterbacks back move and he knew he could get a jump on it, and he actually got a sack on that game. That was early in my career up in New York. Wayne Crobet was there, JT. These are the three hall of fames I played with. JT was just a monster. He just had a fucking reach and he had to get off that nobody else could deal with. And that's what. So I saw a guy that was just so physically talented, nobody can block him. I saw a guy him so instinctual, nobody can block him. Then I saw a guy like that that was studied so fucking much he would know everything that was going on before it happened. So I saw those three levels, and about halfway through my rookie year, I was like, yeah, I'll never be good at him. Let me just get my tackles. But uh oh, the thing so my serious shit, talking my serious ship, talking like I could get under people's skin. So it was like Ray Rice, but Dan Rizzy was at where the Ray Rice to go to school, Rugers. So Dan Rizzy, the defense coordinator was at Rutgers. So I would find out who, like who knew the guy early on, and I get like girlfriend's names and I get different, like dumb shit just to mess with people. So we're playing we're playing in the ray Rice game. Who're playing Baltimore up there's actually the game I got spin on. We're playing Baltimore up there. And I turned and I ended up tackling ray Rice. And I turned around and I was, I don't remember the girl's name the quand I was like, I was like yeah. I was like yeah. He laguant and said, you know, she said you need to get more, you know, orange juice in the house. She likes orange juice. I got a bunch of oranguice at my house. And I remember ray Rice turning back and I saw him get infuriated a little bit, and then he's looked at me and he was like, they told me about you. They told me about So that was the other side that that was the that was the way I didn't when my ship didn't work. That's what it kind of came down to my when my research didn't work and old whatever, the old two when my research worked was that. And I'm not gonna tell the story because it's it's fucked up, but I know I said there was there was there was information I gathered that I've seen I've seen the guys see and I've seen it work. Like the Ray Rice story was, I was showing y'all the other side of where he looked at me like no, no, no, They told me you were about do this. And there was other guys where I'd be like, hey, you know your mama ball head, I know a wig. My mama ain't boy head, motherfucker. Huh. But I found information out that hit very close to home for another player on the Patriots. I didn't know it hit so close to home until I found out it hit very close to home and the dude went crazy and he changed sides of the field goal block team to come over and fight me, snatched my hammer out. That's why I like, why were you running away laughing? Because I was laughing because of the fact that I was like, damn, I really got you with this bullshit I've been doing for four years, and I actually got somebody to get kicked out of it. Didn't We worked like that shit worked at that point. So after that game, that's when both of the teams went in the same tunnel. So we all walked in the same tunnel. We went right left visitors to the right home team to the left. Dolphin went to the left, and then we walked out that exact same tunnel to the player of Parking Lot. I walked out, so now I'm kicked out the game. And it was like third quarter, like late in the third quarter. So now I'm showering and ready to go when they get off the field, so I'm like, oh, now we can really fight because now I'm like, I'm ready to go. So I walk out to the tunnel. I'm standing in the tunnels through wine Stein, a couple other security guys, all the all the Davy police that they're like, nah, Channing, you gotta go home, you gotta go home. I'm like, nah, man, he wants to fight, We can fight, man. I sit in that tunnel for like fifteen minutes. They held the player. They held him back and they were like, no, we're gonna let him get on the bus. And so then they got me in my truck. I had like old ass god dram or some shit. The old old old car got in my old truck and they made me leave before they let him come out. So I slowed that down. But yeah, I hit a chord. I hit a chord on the player. That was way more personal than I ever thought it was gonna be. Did that change the way you would trash on? Oh? Hell no, I saw it worked then. Oh man, I saw working. He's a fisherman. If he finds a good spot, oh I'm gonna hit him. I did it my whole career. It's a lot of fun. I enjoyed it. It's all a game, like I do it to this day. All my buddies know, I'm gonna give you here like I give everybody I get juice. Hell yeah, we've heard it about it. We have all heard it. We haven't get everybody hell about everything. But it's just fun. It's that locker room environment. It's way when guys always say like, what are you miss about the game, and it's I miss a locker room. I'm always like, I don't miss the locker room. I do this shit every day. They all my friends. Oh man, all right, say we're gonna close this thing out here real quickly before we do. You know, you've had your appearances on the show, but one thing that we've added that you weren't a part of was a two minute drill. So seth and now we used to seeing God people we talk about we're gonna put him through the two minute drill, and we see this look of concern on their face, Seth, and that now we're kind of have a look of concern on our face about whether we should normally they are you gonna ask me a question? We've got to looking concern on our like, maybe we need to retact this to minute drill right now, k stump of a killer, gat stump a killing. Whatever y'all got, I got you, So let's do it. We're gonna we're gonna roll the two minute drill. Let's go learn it from the best. Lets go, here we go. We got two minutes clock, it'll come up. Okay, here we go. All right, we talked about the Gators. So the Netflix series Swamp Kings has made a lot of noise recently, and linebacker Brandon Sailor Sailer Sailors Sayler, Yeah, he was kind of like one of the stars, right, He was a big deal on the show. And I think you guys maybe crossed over there a year, taught him a how to play football. Okay, well, there it is. Knowing the Gator lineage of that position the way we know it. Who's the real swamp king, I would have to say maybe Mike Peterson came before me. I came and Rex shop for two years all sec two years in a row, and since it's all American, my two years. But I had to get hell out of there because they were locking my ass up consistently. Brandon Spikes came in, and Spikes is big. Y'all have seen Brandon slight yall met him. That motherfucker's jack gaining. He's big and can run. So I would honestly say with that, with that run of those guys before that was Andre Davids played for the Brown Me and Dre a cool. Mike p is my my ac. Still he still coaches at Florida. I talked to Dre me and Dre Drey lived out of Denver. Still he had his crewd the Broncos. I still talked to be Spice Beat. Spices got a spot out here in Sunny Isles. I believe I talked to all them. I don't talked to Silas Siler created his uh, he created his persona off of us. That whole swamp King's thing. When I saw that t Boar in Urban need time out. When I saw that when I saw that urban and t board part of it, I knew they were building characters. They weren't telling the true story. B side, he was a good player at Florida, he went to San Diego, did like he played for a couple of years. But it really wasn't that like he created his character off of the people he saw around him, and I think I was one of them. Might have to go to overtime to follow up on it was just like a defensive player wants to running clock big set, Yeah he does, but we ignore this. We got a time out in there, so all right, well he's got the next I'll go to the next one. So you started your career with two coaches. I'm pretty much opposite ends of the spectrum. Nick Saban on one side, and then you go to Cam Cameron. After that, you had talked about how his speeches did little to inspire. But who was a Dolphins coach or player who did have the ability to really inspire you, guys? No, Nick Saban can coach his ass off. Nick Saban was a monk. Nick Saban. If if he would have if Dante Colepepper's knee was fine, Nick Saban would have been a playoff winning coach if you could have found a quarterback. But Nick Saban couldn't deal with the fact that he can't go recruit five stars every year and bring in the talent. He has to work the salary cap. Nick Saban told me all the time, and he was so disrespectful. He walked up and be like, hey, he never he sang my name in two years. He called me Gator because I was at Florida and he drafted me. He told me the story that he drafted him because in two thousand was at two thousand and three when they went at LSU won that A championship. They were twelve and one and the Gators beat him in LSU and I had like eighteen tackles two seconds. I balled out in that game. He told me like, I drafted you because of that game, Gator, and he called me Gator. But he come up to me and be like, hey, they're gonna throw a fucking screen on the backside. They don't think you're good. Are you gonna be at the tackle the running back because they're gonna get in trips and they're gonna throw a screen and you had to make the tackle and I don't think you made a tackle, but they don't think he made a tackle either. Not be like, god damn cold, I'm a grown ass man, like I'm twenty two years old. But the craziest thing about that, we go out on the field the next series and they get in third down and they go two by two and they motion to three by one, and I look at the back and he's sitting there all fucking scary. I'd be like, they by throw a screen and I was just walking the be gap, run through the b grab grab him, motherfucker, throw him down and make the tackle him run off. Said he was he knew football like hell savings gonna win football games as long as he does it because he is so goddamn good at football X and O understanding breakdown film. And that's the difference. Say I respect, Say it's like Brady. I don't like Tom Brady. I respect the hell out of him. I don't like Nick Saban. If my son, who's playing eleven youth football for the first time this year, if he has a chance to go to Alabama and Nick Saban is still there, I know that my son will go and get the best coaching in the Nation at Alabama. If Nick Saban still at Alabama. Respect is bigger than like, if people respect you, take the respect. Fuck that like like is like don't do nothing for you. Respect really means something, and I respect Nick Saban. Well, that is the two minute drill on about eighteen and a half minutes, Channon Crowder said, an all time two minute drill record.
