Speaker 1 (00:00):
You never dropped a ball though once in a while.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
That's because my wrists retired.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
From doing what just.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Rice craps and strengthen your hands, strengthen my hands. On
some reason, I got bored that morning before the game
and I was doing it.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
No rice hands before I gave your rice might get tired.
Welcome to Dudes on Dudes. I'm Julian Edelman and I'm
Rob Gronkowski and this is the show where your favorite
dudes get to talk about their favorite dudes. And for
today's episode, we are celebrating what day.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
National tight Ends Day.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
And that's right, we are talking Travis Kelcey. Oh you
ever gets seeking people comparing them to you.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's really like not a comparison, but we're two totally
different players, to tell you the truth. Greg Olsen, what
was really cool is that I was coming out of
the University of Arizona and Drew Rosenhaus had me called
Greg Olsen. He was the only player I call and
did give me some great advice. Man.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
He was a very savvy guy as well.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
And we have a former legend and Shannon sharper former
or the most jack tight end of all time.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
He's fucking Jackie said, you still play, and we'll break
down their games, share some insiders stories, and determine what
kind of dute each of these dudes are, and then
we wrap up the show by building the perfect tight end.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Let's go, let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
All right, I'm going to break this down, Jewels. This
is National tight End Day. So I'm going to break
down the origins of National tight End Day. And it's
a holiday that celebrates NFL tight ends. Obviously that's in
the you know, description of the title of National tight
Ends Day. And it's always the fourth Sunday in October.
I'm not sure who picked that. I think that was

(01:46):
up to the NFL to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
And it was Halloween.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's not Halloween close, it's close to Halloween. Actually, actually
is that Halloween. It could land on Halloween, it can,
it can, but not this year. It's noting on it
this year. Today is not Halloween, buddy, It's not Halloween.
And it was just inspired by a conversation between Jimmy
Garoppolo ur you know, former quarterback of the NEWINGTL Patriots

(02:11):
that we played with for a couple of years, and
George Kittle. So obviously those conversations happened when Jimmy was
with the San Francisco forty nine ers. So we want
to thank Bill Belichick for trading Jimmy Garoppolo thanks to
San France. So now now they can they had that conversation.
So now there's National tight End Day. So thank you
Bill for inspiring the tight ends out there and inspiring

(02:35):
to have a day, you know, for the tight ends.
Without you, it was never possible.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Old Coach Belichick, he's being a little sunshine raised. He's
always of happiness.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
He's always ahead of the game.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
He's ahead of the game. He's always he's zigging while
you're zagging.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
And I think it was officially adopted National tight Ends
Day in what twenty and nineteen? I would say eighteen. Yes,
And on top of it, George Kittle has done a lot.
Yes we're not talking about George ca on this episode,
but a huge shout out to George Kittle. Uh. And
on top of it with these two other you know
tight ends that we're talking about, Greg Olsen and Travis Kelsey,
huge shout out to them for starting tight End You. Yes,

(03:14):
it started about three years ago. Tight End You is
held in Nashville. What's that University there again. Uh yeah, yeah,
Nderbilt University.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's it's like it's like a Harvard of the South.
Yes it is.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
And uh that's why I was only invited one time
because it's the Harvard of the South. It's a very
hard They just wanted to see if you know, I qualified,
and obviously I just qualified for one one of the
occasions out of the three.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Now, Rob, what do you what do you do to
celebrate National so tight Ends?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, the goals of National tight Ends Day was to
increase the player recognition because tight ends kind of were
always under the radar. They really were, man, I mean
until like you know, Tony Gonzalez, Jeremy Shockey, Antonio Galen Winslow,
all wins I mean, they held the tight end position down,
but it's not truly exposed like it is now these days.

(04:07):
The tight end position is cool, like kids want to
be a tight end now. And that's what it's about.
And it's also another goal is where to connect fans
with players personalities because tight ends do have the best personalities.
They are rockstars, dude. They do it all on the
field too. You got to know the pass game, you
got to know the run game, they're actually the second
smartest player on the field if you ask me, because
the quarterback they need to know everything, but the tight

(04:30):
ends their second. They need to know the pass game
and the run game and kind of the defense that
you're going versus. Quarterbacks need to know the whole entire defense.
Also what everyone's doing, all their reactions everything. So we're
second place after after quarterbacks. Jewels. I'm sorry, Rob, it.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Just hit me.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
When I was a kid, you know what, I grew
up and I wanted to be slot receiver.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
A slot receiver. Why is that? Why did you want
to be a slot.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Why don't they have a day? Well, why don't we
have a university day?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, i'm kind of you know me, today's tight end
day and you're freaking you know, you crossed your shirt
out like I was, you know, practicing Ato talking. I
put tape on your shirt like I was.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't know who did this?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Like remember San Diego when I put tape on my shirt? Yeah, yeah,
I do. Yeah. Guess what I got thrown out of
practice if I didn't take off the tape. So should
I throw you out of here? If you don't take
off the tape?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
I mean that what tight ends do, just like how
you tight ends are good guys.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
So I'll let you have that to take your shirt,
all right. Yeah, and they could be say slot receiver.
You it's not about you. We're taking over your position today.
We're putting the tight ends in the slot position today.
We don't want you guys on the field. Okay.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
You know sloughtster humans too, slotster players too.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, they're slot machines.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Slotster players just used and abuse.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
You put a quarter in.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Y's been talking about the evolution of the tight end position,
right you guys. You know in these last twenty years, well,
you know, our position didn't even exist thirty years ago.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Shust it dead, didn't even exist.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, they just didn't call it a slot receiver. They
just put the receiver and they say number two.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
It's erroneous. You eat your eat those words, you eat
those words.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I know, Jeles, I'm so sorry. I take it back.
I was saying the tight ends didn't exist back in
the day. Yeah, but they did. Yeah, but they were
just blackers. It's like another offensive lineman. In the eighties
and nineties, it was basically another offensive lineman. There was
like three of them that actually went out and caught passes.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
I mean, Dicka was a damn tight end we talked
about he played eight hundred years ago.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
He was the one. He was the one of the three,
one of the three that you actually, you know, talked
about and actually went out and received passes. Other than that,
a tight end was just another offensive lineman on the team.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
You know what the slot receiver is?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
What's the slot slot receivers kind of like kind of
like Steth Seth Steth Curry, you know, like maybe back
in the day, all the guy's too small, he's in
between positions? What he can just shoot? And oh, oh
is he? Is he a receiver? Is he running back?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
What is he? Oh?

Speaker 3 (07:04):
He's sure he can't be a receiver, but he he
can't run through the tackles, so he can't be running back.
Should we put this good football player that can help
my damn team?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Maybe we throw in the slot.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I don't know that's a good point. I'm not arguing
with that. But who's the Steph Curry of the slot
receiver position? Then?

Speaker 4 (07:23):
I mean you're I mean, I started it well, Troy
Brown really did.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
GWayne Kerbak Hurry is so smooth. I mean you're kind
you're kind of like I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
No, no, no, you were. You're a different player. You're
slot Yeah you're Derek Rose. There you go.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Got hurt.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
You're a point guard, but playing slot receiver. I got
hurt though, Yeah you got hurt a couple of times.
But explosive. Wow, that's one good comparison right there. And
on top of it, how did how else did I celebrate?
I'll take Let's get back to the national Titan.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
It's about about me to it's about the tight Ends.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
It's about me. I don't care about you slot receivers today.
Once it's National Slot Receiver Day, I'll care about you.
We can talk about you. We can talk about your position,
all right, that they finally made a position for guys
under five ten.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
I'm five ten, all right? Back to one second.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
One second, I'm just texting Waining, Corbette, Wes Welker, Troy Brown,
the Branche.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, just made a slot slot receiver. You just made
Have you ever seen it? Accepted?

Speaker 3 (08:36):
You know that fake university, that movie about the fake university.
That's what I just did right now. It doesn't sound
original because the tight Ends just did it.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Let's get onto the show.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Ways we celebrated as well. Is that what's cool is
that NFL distributes thirty you know, to all thirty two teams.
They distribute tight end you know, National tight End Day
shirts to all two ends as well, and then they
go out the pregame where their national tight End. Sure,
you know everyone's celebrating. Fans are going crazy. The possibly
make a bobble head of the tight end if you know,

(09:09):
if he's well known, Yeah, you guys are studs. He's
known enough to that fan base, they make a bibble head.
So tight Ends are cool man.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Studs. Nah, you know who?

Speaker 2 (09:21):
You know?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Possibly you know who the guys are that you know,
no one really wants, no one really has a position for.
You know, they come in and get the job done.
Saw receivers, let's get.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Onto all right. They do get the job done. Slot
receivers catch a lot of balls. You guys love catching balls.
I love catching balls. It's like, what like one hundred
balls a year at least.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
And speaking of one hundred balls a year, let's move
on to our first. Guess who's that who catches a
hundred balls every fucking your Travis fucking Kelsey.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
This guy's a production machine.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
What is a I have to say about Travis Kelsey?
Start the clock now.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Travis Kelcey is widely regarded as one of the greatest
tight ends in NFL history, known for his exceptional receiving
skills and athleticism.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
So I agree, I agree, I agree.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Off the field, he is seen as a charismatic and
dedicated individual, often praise for his leadership and community involvement.
Kelsey has made a significant impact on the Kansas City Chiefs,
helping them secure multiple playoff appearances and a Super Bowl
victory and out AI not not you know right here?

(10:37):
Super Bowl victories. You gotta make it polario.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
He got, he got, he got three. Yeah, he's got
three in the category.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, he's got three AI.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
I mean, would they say just super Bowl victory?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I knew we were smarter than AI.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
They're not. Yeah, they're not there yet.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, super Bowl and a super Bowl victory says all right.
He holds several NOTABLELE records, including the most consecutive in
overall seasons with a thousand receiving yards by a tight end. Recently,
Kelsey has been in the spotlight for dating Taylor Swift,
co hosting the popular podcast New Heights with his brother
Jason Kelcey Killer and becoming the Chiefs all time leader

(11:16):
in receptions, surpassing the legendary Tony Gonzalez. Wow, and there's
still a myth about Tony Gonzalez has not so the
urban legend. We're not going to talk. We're just gonna
let that stresses about Travis. I mean, this is about Travis. Tony.
We know that we know no matter what you are

(11:38):
in the world because of that myth.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Good things coming through with you.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yes, good thing coming through with Tony. Guns up.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Oh man killer trave Man.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Killer killer killer, killer trave.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
He's so slippery.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
He is slippery. That's a good way to put it. Slippery, smooth, smooth, flexible, functionable.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
He's got like a very. He's got a very. I
remember us talking about it.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
He just has that basketball body where like he doesn't
get hurt. He's always he's elegantly running. When he runs,
he's faster than what you think, and he's stronger than
what you think. And he's always in the right position.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Always in the right position. He knows how to find
an open hole better than any tight end I have
ever seen.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I need an open hole.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah in the defense to him the defense. Okay, if
it's zone, he can find you know, the soft spot. Yeah,
that's soft spot, the soft spot of the just and
sit in it.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
What about man.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Man coverage, Oh man, he has.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
He's got great boat rounds. You see him.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
He at the top of the route, he's so like
uh like like savgy, Yeah, savvy, savvy, savvy, savage savvy
at the top of the route. Like he can go
to boom boom boom like a basketball player dribbling when
they're at the top, one on one, crossing over like
he's got that And that's what truly gets them open
as well. And that's what makes him a great player
is because of his knowledge in the zone game, the

(13:09):
ability to find the open hole, to find the where
the grass is so he can sit there and Patrick
Mahomes can just dump it right to him. And then
also the ability to just be so savvy a top
of the route and have that crossover type of skills
and then make the dB confused or the safety or
the linebacker that's rare, a linebacker on him, to make
them confuse what way he's going on Boom he breaks

(13:31):
out and he has that separation. He can get that
separation because of it. And when he hears that separation.
You have a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes, He's gonna find
you every single time and put that ball on the money.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Can you keep him separated? What's that from?

Speaker 2 (13:45):
That's a song?

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Can you keep him separated? Is that?

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Ooh dang? Who sings that again? I know who that is?
I'm getting a tattoo now I'm getting ain't done. It's
the same artist, right, I asked for thirteen, but they
drew thirty with the Offspring Offspring. Yes, yes, I think
that's the same song too, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, it is.
The Offspring. Travis Kelcey is like an offspring. He's different

(14:13):
from every tight end. He's one of the best ever
to play. That's being an offspring right there.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Now, do you get a traditional guy?

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah? Ask me, Jules, ask me and I'll answer.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I'm not scared seeking people comparing them to you.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Uh, you know, it's really like not a comparison. I mean,
you can compare us, but we're two totally different players,
to tell you the truth. And like it all depends
on what type of scheme you're in as well, you know,
like what they ask him to do with the Kansas

(14:49):
City Chiefs, I could not replicate what he's doing with
the Chiefs. If you ask him to do what I
was doing with the New England Patriots, I don't think
he could replicate. He could do it, like I could
do what he's doing, but I wouldn't have been able
to replicate what he's doing with the Chiefs at that level,
and they know how to use his skill set. We
have two totally different skill sets. By far like by far,

(15:10):
like he's savvy. At the top of the route, I was,
I'm gonna run and I'm just gonna go to the
corner and I'm gonna outrun the guy. I'm gonna use
my body. I'm gonna be physical, and Tom just throw
the ball up. And if the guy's on me, I'm
bigger than him, I'm gonna use my body box them
out and just go up and catch the freaking ball.
All right, Just throw me the ball. There was nothing
more to it. This guy has like eight moves. He's
like a wide receiver out there. So we're two totally

(15:31):
different players. You can compare us because we both wear
at number eighty seven. So that's in comparison right there.
But if he fit, you know, if you brought him
to doing a pitch, I don't think he would be
able to do what I was doing. He would be
able to do it, but not to the capable level
that I was being able to do it at. So
we're different players, man, way totally different players. He has

(15:52):
mastered his skill set as well, just like I mastered
my skill set and what I brought to the table.
But I mean, I'm not, you know, sick of it.
I mean, he's he's a great player. I mean, he
definitely belongs as the best tight end in the NFL,
or debate debatable as being the best tight end in
the NFL due to his stats and what he has
done for the position. But uh, you know, it's just

(16:13):
an honor. I guess it's an honor to be in
the same category.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Now, what if you guys were both in the same team.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
I think we would be perfect to be both on
the same team. I mean, I feel like we kind
of counter each other. Uh, there's no doubt about it,
just the way, you know, like I was saying, how
we were different players, his aspect of the game, how
he you know, can line up anywhere. How he can
motion to any any point on the field at any
given time. I was kind of a guy like Tom,
so I really got a motion across the line of scrimmage,

(16:40):
like like sometimes I was in the huddle like I'm Tom,
I know I got a motion here, but I'm just
gonna line up over there. Man, I'm like too big
to be motioning. Travis is lighter, you know, you can
motion him around, you know, set him up. Yeah, I
had that happen before. Yeah, you know, I you know,
I got all mass. So we would compliment each other unbelievable,

(17:03):
and I would say that we would have been the
best duel. I would say, one of the best duels
to play if we play with each other, don't you
think so.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
We've had a doubt, Yeah, I mean we kind of
had that.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah we did. I was actually I was actually going
to say that that we would we would have broke
the records of me and the other guy about I
won't mention names. We broke basically every record in the book.
When when it was him and I number eighty five,
yeah it was I think he had like two numbers.
I think he was eighty one at first eighty and
then number eighty five. So we broke every record in

(17:36):
the book for being dual tight ends. Like we had
like what twenty six touchdowns a year and like, I
don't know, twenty four hundred yards just between tight ends.
Travis Callacy and I together would have definitely matched those
numbers or produced even more then you at slat receiver
than Randy Moss out wide.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Just there's so much collection going on in that.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Would be our quarterback there home with Brady, or we
have them both and one would play one half. I
got the other.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
We gotta go Brat, I know, I agree, because.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
We don't know I don't know how to play with
We don't know how to play that that scramble drill,
second play within a play that was not like our
forte So those guys learn that it's that scrambled drill,
like Travis is always open when there's that second play
within the play that Patrick Mahomes creates. And they've got
on such a wavelength where he's always in the open

(18:28):
position and he knows where to go, He reads and
scans the field better than anyone and he always finds
open and Mahomes always delivered this to him, so it
it'd be different, it'd be very different.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, that second phase of a play, he's got that
down to a science on how to get open. I
mean that's due to Patrick Mahomes being able to scramble
like that. But Travis is also one of the most
clutch players in the history historyfl There's no doubt about it.
When it comes to playoff performances or a tough all
the numbers game, he has all the numbers, he has
all the catches when it's when it's that time to

(19:01):
make a.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Play, and he's swaggy as fuck.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
He is swaggy, he's smooth. But I swear it's due
to the fact that he has that like basketball mentality,
the basketball body, like yeah, like he's not Jackie has
another dad by like Patrick Mahomes in a way, but
a little bit skinnier, a little bit more proportioned dad Bot.
I would say. But those guys, man, I'm telling you,
they don't get hurt, they don't pull muscles, and it's

(19:27):
because they're not tight and he's not tight at all.
And I swear that's what makes him he's play that
he is. He's yeah, fluid, impliable and people are worried
about him right now.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Why I'm not.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Worried because his production is a little bit. Yeah, he
had a good game, But I'm not worried until, like
Travis is going to show up when the team needs
him in December January. That's like, that's when, that's when
you need him.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Okay, he got he's thirty four years old.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Now he's chilling until that point and he'll tur it
on and these jokers will probably go out and win
again because he's part of that formula. Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid,
Travis Kelcey, Spags and Christians.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
And on top of it, he kind of is a
complete tight end. He doesn't get the job done in
the trenches. You're not gonna put him one on one
with a freaking two hundred and eighty pounds defensive end.
Like you know, Coach Balichuk loved to do with me
in practice and just you know, get my brains, you know,
just mushed every day versus Rob Ninkovich and all the
other guys. He just loved putting me versus every single

(20:33):
practice and just loved watching me just bang my head
every day and then go out and do it in games.
But it was fun. I loved it. That's that's why
I did it and never complained. But he gets the
job done. You want to know how I describe blocking
James Harrison, That's kind of what he does. He's kind
of got it down to it. He gets in the
way and he knows where the play has to hit.
Any in the springboard. That's all you need to do.

(20:56):
That's all you need to do. If you got that
down those signs, which he does and I've seen him
do it. Springs the running back stale. The guy does
not make the play. So he's got it down and
tell you the truth.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
He's a superstar, a super superstar. He's Dame Taylor fucking Swift.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
And they might kid, they should have a kid, they should.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
That would be a great kid.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
It would be a what would what kid be? Performing? Like,
you know, having eight catches a game and then like
halftime he's doing the halftime show in like fifteen, no,
in like twenty.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Four years probably sooner. Taylor was on the scene when
she was like thirteen.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
All right, So it would be like the new Ryan Williams.
You know how, he's seventeen years old at Alabama, So
their kid would be like fourteen in college. They're just
surpassed like middle school because he's so smart.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
And then he would go like do a duet with
like he would go do something with Quavo right after.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah so, and then he'll be in the league at
eighteen and then singing.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
And half top ten hits in a TikTok so on.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Dang, they need to have a kid. If that's the case,
they got it.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
I got it, And we would be crazy not to
talk about last year's AFC Championship game when all year,
all year, we kept on hearing people not me, not me.
Chiefs are done, they look old, they look slow. Where's
Travis Kelce? What are they doing? Red hot Baltimore? What

(22:21):
are they doing right hot Baltimore. He goes eleven catches
on eleven targets in the AFC Championship when everyone knows
they're throwing him the ball.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
That's a fucking that's a killer. That was why they
call him kill.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Traft clutch, one of the most clutch players of all time.
I loid that already. How about when I first met
him my very first time of truly meeting, I'm like,
truly truly meet him. He came to Gronk Beach. Man,
it was really cool. He was in Vegas. It was
in Vegas. The draft was in Vegas, and he came
up to Gronk Beach. You were there. I was hammered, man,
I was. I was hammered. Actually, it was one of
the few times in the last few years where I

(22:56):
was pretty hammed up, and I was I'm awesome when
I'm manned up. Actually, you jumped on my back. I
didn't feel it, didn't even car it was on my back.
I just started running around on stage jewels and you
jumped on my back. And all of a sudden kill
a Traps shows up and we're having a dance off
on the stage and he can rob could dance, but
I could dance like kind of like they're my own
dance was, but he can for real dance because like

(23:17):
we said, he's fluid, he's fluid. I got too muscular, man.
I just never worked out like the way I worked
out like in high school and college, like I should
have been doing like more pliability stuff. Yeah right, yeah,
because that was kind of my mottol, Like that was
kind of my persona being jacked.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
You were a senior in high school playing against fourth
graders when you were playing.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
But imagine, just fucking.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Imagine, like if I was looser and I could dance
better and you.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Could dance, you dance your own style. You're good, You're.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Right, I'm the best at dancing my style. Ain't no
one can match me.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Ain't nobody manchine Like, all right, time, let's drop in.
What kind of dude is Travis Kelce.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
I'm I mean, like you kind of just said it already.
You hit it right off the bat without even thinking
about it, without even going over the categories. I mean,
we got freak. I don't really think he's a freak.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
He's a freak. Maybe somewhere else he's freaking the sheets.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
May freaking the sheets because you know, but but hey,
that's all. That's all I'm gonna say. That's how far
I'm only going to go. But but on the football field,
like his physical attributes, no, not not really a freak
like we said, dad Bob, but fluid, so like a
freak is like DK Metcalf like that dude's freaky.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Eats like cheetos for breakfast, and he's got a nineteen pack.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, exactly, this guy. A dog. He's definitely a dog.
He's definitely motivated.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
He's a dog. I think he's a dog. Yes, he's
a dude's dude too. I bet he's so cool.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
In rate lock. He's a make some beers with you.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
He's a whiz.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
He's that's because he knows how to get open. I
wouldn't say he's like a true whiz, but he's a
whiz and at his position kind of just like myself,
tight ends. Don't know that we know the whole playbook.
But we're not like the smartest. You know, we know
what we just need to know.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Prob, you didn't miss up much.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, but like I said, we know what we need
to know.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Hey, so is he a stud?

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Is he a stud? He is a stud. He is
a stud. He's definitely a stud. But is he a dog?
I think it's between stud and dog.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
I think because he went to Cincinnati and what he
was a fifth round draft pick or fourth round draft,
third round draft pick. He had the troubles in college
with the marijuana bullshit. That's why he dropped to the third.
I think that's like.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Kind of being more of a dog. That's a dog,
because if you're getting in trouble for that stuff, and you're.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Saying you're still going out and performing. Studs don't get
in trouble for that.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Studs don't get in trouble. Studs can get out of it.
Stud's gotta be a start on the field and off
the field in order to be label a stud. Yeah,
and like getting in trouble.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
For that, that's it's kind of weak to get in trouble.
But it's also a dog.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
It's a dog. You get in trouble, dog goes in
its cage and it come back out.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
That's a dog.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
That's a dog.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
He's a dog.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Dog.

Speaker 3 (26:05):

as one of the top tight ends in NFL history,
known for his reliable hands. We were talking about that

(27:10):
early with the most reliable hands in the NFL. Yes,
he does, and route running skills Off the field. He
has admired for his dedication to family and philanthropy, particularly
through his Heart Test Yard Initiative, Heart Tests Yard Initiative.

not perfect here, but we get numbers, right, Okay, we
get numbers.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Saying he's for the kids.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, we're for the kids. Yes. Olsen made a significant
impact on the Carolina Panthers, helping them reach Super Bowl
fifty and becoming the first tight end in history to
have three consecutive one thousand yard receiving seasons. From twenty
fourteen to twenty sixteen, he holds the Panthers franchise records
for most receiving yards. He's lucky I got hurt because

(28:23):
I would have held that three one thousand yard seasons
in a row. But it's not about me. Why am
I making about me? Tight Ends, don't make it about yourself,
and I'm not about me. Yeah, slot receiving, it's.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Our little guy in us because we're not full diva.
We had a little diva.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
It's about Greg Olsen here. He olds the Panthers franchise
records for most receiving yards, receptions, and one hundred yard
receiving games by a tight end. After retiring, Olsen transitioned
to a successful career in sports broadcasting. He's one of
our teammates right when our team Fox team. He's really good,
further showcasing his football acumen. He does have a lot

(28:58):
of football acumen. I can tell you that what is
that like? Like knowledge?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Knowledge?

Speaker 2 (29:03):
The word for knowledge, cinnamon for knowledge, not a right
synonymous synonymous. Yeah, freaking cinnamon, right, cinnamon, Yeah, cinema, he's tasty,
He's tasty. Okay, No, Wow, this is bad, Joe, this
is bad. This is dude's just being dude though. This
is what it's all about, dudes, just being dudes and
just showing you who you are. We're not perfect.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Cinnamon, bro Yes, cinnamon, that's same now for now? Yeah,
now it is a.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
The English dictionary. Better change that word to this cinnamon
cinnamon cinnamon. No, oh, well, you want to know what
acumen means. I kind of know that from the back
of my head. I was reading a book. They had
the word. It's the ability to make good judgments and
quick decisions. And that actually explains Greg Olsen in his game,
and that's why he had over a thousand yards in

(29:53):
three seasons in a row because of his quick decisions.
And when you're really quick at top of the route,
when you have a two way go like greg Olsen
his favorite route of all time, he kind of runs
kind of like diagonally to like the ten yard mark
where he has to go, and then the linebackers sitting
there at a safety and you got to either split
right like a bow or split in what's the split
in route where you.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Like a middle reed.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
No no, no, not a middle read like kind of
like a cross. Oh no, no, you go and it's
like a angle an angle route, but it's at between
the ten yards and twelve yard. You can eat bow
it or angle it like an angle at ten Yeah, no,
because it's not a middle read, because you a middle
read is when it's post double safety and go in
the middle. So he was so good at making that
decision and being decisive of should he go out and

(30:35):
the guy and the defender should you go in?

Speaker 1 (30:37):
And that's where he made his bread and money, bread
and money, bread and money.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
You just went a little full Will Ferrell in Old
School right there?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Did you guys see that that's his act?

Speaker 2 (30:49):

blacked out many times.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Frank the fucking tank No, Greg Olsen, I mean we
threw on that film and he's a lot more athletic
than you remember. Uh, He wasn't like a guy that
was gonna kill you with his athleticism. But he had
such great hands like he he would go up and
make those one handers. He did a lot of one
hander catches. He had great ball skills. And he was

(31:31):
a very savvy guy as well. And he wasn't like
he a small guy. He's six ' five two fifty
five out of the u. What's up with the you
and the tight ends.

Speaker 2 (31:40):

University of Miami. Oh my gosh, you're producing tight ends

version of tighten you at the Universeity of Miami. But man,
oh were they producing tight ends man. University of Miami
was they were on point.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
And he was. He was a track star in high school.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah, he was javelin javelin. He you know, maybe that's
why he was so good with his hands, because he
was always using his hands and.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Track throwing it.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, just throwing like holding you know that javelin stick.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
I've never met a javeliner. Yeah, I guess I have.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Like what do you do? How do you throw it
like that?

Speaker 3 (32:33):
That's called a shakeway, that's away.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Never threw a javelin like the spear throw all right,
it's like a football. Can you throw football for like being.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
A gladiator and throwing that spear and just broom tossed
at four yards exactly.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
That's like, So he did javelin. I mean, he the
first thing you think of of Greg Olsen.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Look at that.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Oh, look at that.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
That's a good technique. He good, he's young.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Look at that face. It's beautiful. He got that. He
was defined in high school. I don't know what happened.
Like he's like one of those like tight ends with
a dad body. Again, that's what made him last long.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
He lasted long.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
He lasted long. But he hit me up in high school.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
He hit me up during that three thousand yard or
the three thousand yard seasons. He broke his foot and
I broke my foot, and I remember us communicating over
the Jones fracture. That was the first time I ever got,
you know, a call from him, and to watch him
on TV. He's killing in the TV. He's really knowledgeable
about the game. He uh, He's fun. He's got that

(33:43):
little dorkiness in him.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
He does.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
He's got that little door like that. He plays that joke.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
He's a dad, jokes off really well.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
He plays. He's a fun guy to be around.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
And and he is who he is like he expresses
who he is. He's matter man. That's why you love him, man,
that's what you love about. He's not hiding himself at all.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Never, no, never.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
And I trained with him. Actually, I remember what was
really cool is that I was coming out of the
University of Arizona and we had the same agent, Drew Rosenhaus,
and Drew Rosenhaus had me called Greg Olsen. He was
the only player I called to ask about Drew Rosenhaus
and also ask about the training process of training for
the combine and all that. And I remember Greg Olsen

(34:22):
did give me some great advice. Man. He said, Hey,
you're gonna think all the little details are stupid, but
make sure you do them all because those are actually
the biggest things in the end. And I still remember
that to this day, that he goes do all the
warm ups, all the recovery things that you got to
do after you trained all day. He says, just do
all the details of the little things and you will
be fine. So thank you Greg for the advice.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Man.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
I remember talking to you on the phone and just
the advice of going through the NFL process. He's the
only player I talked to through that through that time.
So good dude, Man, good dude. Wasn't you know, looking
out for himself, but he was looking out for me
on that phone call, which was cool.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
You think he called Bledsoe after Brady replaced him? Uh,
I'm I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Hey, hey, Julian.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
I'm in rose mode.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Did he called blood Sell? But oh because Bloodsoell got
replaced by time? There you go. I'm sorry. I'm a
tight end. We're a little slow. Okay, tight ends are
sometimes a little bit slower, but where personalities are just
freaking awesome. We are the coolest players on the field.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
I mean, we really are.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Name a tight end that isn't cool, m exactly? You can't.
You're thinking about it. That means they really are? They
really are? You? I know who's really cool?

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Dallas got it.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
I was hanging out with him at tight End you
when I was actually smart enough to go because it's
the high rid of the South, like we were talking about,
and like I was just hanging out with him. I
didn't even know who he was. I like, I know
who Dallas godd It was, but Helmets had no clue
what Dallas got it ever looked like and like this
dude had the hair flow and everything. I was talking
to him, like, dude, coolest shit. And then like two

(36:07):
days later, I saw a picture of us online and
it says like Dallas got her and Rob Gronkowski got
I was like, oh, my freaking guy. I didn't even
know that was Dallas.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Guy's running seventy yard touchdown.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
I just thought he was coolest shit.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
And that's what tight ends are.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
And Greg Olsen's the epitome of that just coolest ship.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, he has coolest shit, real shit athletic he had.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
He had kind of that basketball stuff.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
He wasn't a burner, he had great hands, he made
big plays for his team. He went to a super Bowl.
He's got crazy stats. You know, he had the three
thousand yard seasons.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
What what at tribute? The best attribute or characteristic that
Greg Olsen contained in his pocket. His secret weapon was
his route running skills.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
He's route running.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
His route running skills one of the best in the game.
At the tight end position.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
He'd like lull you.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
He I always see him hitting that boat route. He'd
marry his his routes together. Remember he was really good
at that boat route. Remember that cover four. I always
see him hitting in like the fringe shot where he's
right right outside the the red area the twenty.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
And they'd always run that.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
They'd get cover four and they'd run that post and
he'd run that bow route and they'd hit.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Him on that.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
I remember seeing that one. We installed something. We stole
it from them because we were copying it. We liked
there the way they ran it. And he'd run that
boat route and he caught it right on that one
yard line. He's really I mean, he's just he's a
he's a He's an awesome guy.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Didn't he doesn't care about his looks. He doesn't care
about like what's going on out there. He just cares
about being a good dude. He and a family man.
And that's why I love him, man. I love being
around him. He's always so positive and he can also
by the way when I when I trained with him
when I was young to the guy just never stopped talking,
never stopped talking, and it was always the best.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
It was always on TV.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
And literally from the first day I met him, I
was like, this guy is going to be a commentator
one day, He's going to be an announcer. And then
he actually landed perfectly in that spot after his football
career and when he signed with Fox two and I
think it was like the first year he signed with
Fox was like the first year I did when I
first retired. I did a couple of games as well,
and I was literally just thinking my mind just talking

(38:20):
to this guy has landed in the perfect field for him.
He's so good, great storytelling, so intelligent. Yeah, great storyteller.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Great and he looks like Grizzly Adams a little bit.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
He's got an under he's got an under under under
under what he's got an underrated chin.

it about three weeks ago. It was on TV and
I never turned it off. This is why I loved
about Greg Olsen.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
To City talked a lot.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
He does talk a lot, and that kind of explains
why he came out with a rap song. And it
was good. It was really good. It was really awesome
and explained a lot of details on how they live
life at the University of Miami, which was really cool.
I was a big fan, no doubt about it. You
were probably a big fan as well.

I never listened to him, I lied right there fully,
But it was called the Seventh Floor Crew.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Rap, Yes, and it was a legendary rap song by
some of the Miami players and three and they were
just doing it, I think as a joke from what
I've heard Greg Olsen say before, like just to have fun,
and it just blew up out of nowhere. But it
kind of made you know the universe of Miami even more,
you know, prominent in my mind, especially at the tight

(40:17):
end position.

And he was replaced by he was a first round
draft pick.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Yeah, he was a first round draft pick to the
Chicago Bears. Kind of a slow start they traded him

slow start when they gets to the NFL. Not everyone,
but a lot of guys do. But it's okay. He
picked it up in Carolina.

but it kind of goes with Shannon sharper Instagram Live.
So make sure those Instagram lives are turned off right now,
ladies and gentlemen, because we don't know what may happen.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Start the clock. What's a I gotta say about? Oh, Shannon?

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Oh, Shannon shop. Shannon Sharp is renowned as one of
the greatest tight ends in NFL history, known for his
exceptional athoughticism and competitive spirit off the field. He is
admired for his character off the field. He is admired
for his charismatic personality and dedication to the community service.
That was community service on the Instagram life. I made

(45:26):
a lot of people happy, a lot of people happy,
A lot of people get happy. Yeah, they sure did.
And entertainment too. Entertainment. Hey, that's community service.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
Shaving the community.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Yes, it sure is all right, We're getting a little
yeah Nowy Sharp made a significant impact on the Denver
Broncos and Baltimore Ravens, winning three Super Bowl titles and
becoming a key player in their offenses. He was the
first tight end to surpass ten thousand receiving yards. I
don't even have ten thousand receiving yards. And this was
back in the day in Beastly and how the records

(46:00):
for most receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns by a tight
end at the time of his retirement. Sharpe's post retirement
career as a sports analyst has farther solidified his influence
in the football world. And he's not just a analyst
in the football world either, he's an analyst in all
of sports, which he is like he's he has broad

(46:22):
in his his fan based big time by you know,
breaking down basketball, basketball, breaking down breaking what badminton? If
he had to, dude, this guy can do it all
in the broadcasting world.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
When he went up with Skip him and Skip like
he could battle him. He could talk.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
I mean there's no that's he's famous for a reason,
not just his his podcast, Uncle Shay Shay and and
everything that he's got going. This guy is like you
could tell he's a fucking smart guy. He looks like
he can still play.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
He sure does. He looks like a linebacker now as well.
He looks like he's jack. He can go out there
and just level fools and just get right back up.
He is jacked. And I think he posted an Instagram
within the year of him benching still and I think
it was like three eighty five. It was around there.
He don't quote me the exact way, but it was
right around there. And uh he put it up like

(47:17):
five times as well. Jesus, he's huge jacked.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
I watched a lot of the films and the miked
up and stuff. Yeah, he could talk some ship. He's
one of the Janet Shark could talk some shit.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
He is the biggest ship talking tight end in NFL history,
without doubt, no doubt about that. How about when he
when he came to uh Foxborough, one of the old
stadium back in the day, obviously he was playing in
the nineties, Uh, and he picked up the phone, the
red phone, and no one picks up the red phone.
No one picks the phone. You get your ass busted

(47:51):
if you pick up that phone. But hey, hey someone
called the president. Where what did he say exactly? Or
we just someone call the president. We're killing the patriots,
soning the troops then something like that. It was right
along that those lines, right right, yeah, we are killing
the patriots. Son, someone called the president. We are killing

(48:12):
the Patriots.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
And this is back before like talking to the cam
like now we see players always talking to the camera
on the sideline or before a game, pregame, post game,
like Sean Sharp was an innovator of a lot of that.
Like when you get you'd see the guys warming up
in the warm ups and stuff. He'd always engaged the
camera like and let you know he's about to run

(48:34):
up all of your ass in the game that week
and start talking to the fans.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
He's fucking crazy.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
He is crazy. I mean he has wide receiver bill
because I think he was drafted as a wide receiver
as well as he Yeah, he was, and then he
put on some weight. Obviously you got to put on
weight if you're drafted as a wide receiver went to
the tight end position. But That kind of explains why
he was such a great route runner because he was
a receiver coming into the NFL, And that kind of

(49:00):
explains why he's so jacked as well, because he had
that skinny frame and then he had to hit the
waits hard. There's no doubt about it. He has like
cis down hill speed. Like when he gets going he
catches that ball, he's gone. When he catches he's gone.
He's a freak run by. Yeah, he is a freak.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
There's no doubt. Little key kind of a freak.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
I don't I don't even think we got a debate
at the end. I think he's a freak no matter what,
Well we know he's a freaking Yeah it is. I
mean that Instagram Live. Back to the Instagram Live real quick.
You think it was set up? I mean, I mean
to get into Instagram Live, you have to open up
your phone, your face has to be recognized or you
got to put your password, and you gotta hit Instagram.

(49:37):
Then you gotta hit like the story but and then
you got to move over to the right and hit
Instagram Live. And then when you hit that, it says
are you sure you want to go live? And then
you got to hit. Yes, I mean, I still think
it's an accident. It's a girl. It was an accident.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Was it a girl or was he live before?

Speaker 2 (49:54):
I don't know the story live before and accidentally put
his phone down. I'm not sure, but I mean it
was entertainment.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
I mean I didn't listen.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
He was getting the job done. I didn't listen either.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
What a hell of a career one what do He
won three super Bowls, two with the Broncos and John
Elway and that late Broncos surge of John's career, and
then he went to the Ravens and was part of
that founding block of foundation for that organization, him and
Ray Lewis, Like Ray was the guy that had the team,
and it was like always they always had like quarterbacks

(50:24):
that weren't necessarily like big name quarterbacks. It was more
of playing to the defense. And you know the guy
on the offense that was always representable Shannon Sharp. That's
what I remember as a kid when you watch the Ravens,
it was Shannon Sharp's team on the offense. And that's
that's crazy. The crazy thing about Shannon is his brother
Sterling and the amount of respect he had for his
brother who he had like a what he played? How

(50:47):
many years he played? Seven years in the league? Got
cut with the neck injury, got cut short with the
neck injury.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Was like tearing up everything.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
Was all pro five times led the NFL in receptions
a few three years. And it was really cool to
hear when Shannon got induckted to the Hall of Fame
that he would be the only guy up there in
the Hall of Fame that had a brother that was
better than him. He said something along those legs I'm paraphrasing,
So you have to give a shout out to Sterling,
and he was.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
He was really good on TV back in the day too.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Well. Shout out to Sterling as well, because actually I
didn't know any of this as ever occurred. I didn't
know that Shannon had a brother.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
He was a muster I played in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
That Thank you for the fact, Jewels, thank you for
the knowledge. We're always here to learn. That was pretty
cool that you know more about a tight end, and
then you know, I know about a tight end. So
that was cool.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
It's pretty cool to hear the brother brother and he
had an older brother, Like do you have any of
those stories where your older brother like punked you into
m H.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Of course, that's why. I also think it was really
cool that you share that story because I got three
older brothers and one younger brother played on their teams
growing up, played same football teams in high school and college.
And then remember An was on our team. Yeah, the
New England Patriots for a little bit. Yeah, big piece.
He he does have a big piece. It's dark as well. Yeah,

(52:09):
so it's like like a double whammy big piece. Yeah,
double whammy, big piece. It's tan. I guess I don't know.
That's why I've heard. That's what his wife told me.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
Here his brother, you've definitely seen his now, No.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
He's never showed me. I was making fun of him
one time and then his wife came in like, wow,
he has a bigger and darker dick than you know.
I was like, well, I know that, but I'm gonna
keep making fun of him like I already know that.
That's why I am making fun of him so I
can make myself feel But okay, back to Shannon Sharp,
who has a sharp piece?

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Cool?

Speaker 2 (52:44):
Why are we always was? Why are we talking about
this stuff?

Speaker 1 (52:47):
I don't know?

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Yeah, I mean, this is dude talk. Though this is
dude's on dudes like this is so great because whenever
we get off you know, subject and topic and everything,
we can always just blame it on the name of
the show. It's dude's just dudes and no, lie, that's
what dudes do. Man dudes talk about. It's weird. Why
did dudes talk about peace sizes so much? Like when
it's just the dudes, like on the couch watching the game.

(53:10):
I don't why is that? I don't know. It always
comes back to that, it's weird.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
Manamano mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Fourth Legue, the greatest trash talker of all time. There's
I was watching him on the whatever NFL one of
those NFL shows Top one hundred shows wherever I had
the NFL channel line, and someone told Shannon Sharp before
don't quote me exactly, it's just along these lines. They said, Hey, Shannon,
you want to be famous, you want to be well known,
then don't block. And Shannon Sharp took that to heart

(53:40):
and he went out there and goes, I'm gonna go
out there and catch passes. I'm gonna go out there
and I'm gonna be well known. I'm gonna be famous,
and I'm gonna catch passes, score touchdowns, and get first downs.
And that's sure what he did. But he wasn't that
bad of a blocker either. He went out there, he
got it done. He's kind of one of the first
tight ends revolutionized the tight end position as well, and
uh to open up an offense at the tight end position.

(54:03):
And he's kind of more of an h back tight
end as well, kind of shorter, more stockier, and he
got the job done. He could run. He runs like
a deer.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
He I mean, he didn't have all those stats for
not being great.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
I mean he's a monster. Did you ever watch that
Kat Williams interview?

Speaker 3 (54:20):
Nah, I haven't, but I didn't either, But I just
remember the hype of that whole thing. That's what That's
what happened with. Kat Williams went on like a three
hour rant.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
I feel like Shannon would be a great time to
hang out with. Like I bet Shack in the day
when he was your teammate and you went out to
the club with him, he would be a freaking great.
He would go up and talk to any girl. I
bet he just talks trash twenty four to seven. He
would go up, he'd be in the club talking to
like eight girls I wants talking garbage about his teammates
are hyping you up, like piping you up, HIPing you up.

(54:50):
You see you know, you see my boy over there.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
You see that touchdown he had.

Speaker 2 (54:54):

needs a back massage, he needs some relaxation. We need
him right for next week. Can you please go over
there and just sit on his lap. I'm telling you
go looking guy, I see I seen him, seen him
in the shower too before. I'm telling you he's looking
at ultimate hype guy.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
Bet you would be like that, but he probably You
probably hate playing against him like we never played against him.
You probably hate playing against Shannon Sharp just because of
a his production, how good he was, and b he
let you know how good he was.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
Most ripped tight end of all time too. He's got
he's up there, up there, he is the most ripped.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
We'll be right back after this quick break and before
we wrap up our show. In honor of National tight
Ends Day, We're going to build the perfect tight end.
Categories football like Q, blocking, ability, the hands.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Personal, the personality, and the swagm Football like Q.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Who do you go? Sorry? Just really thirsty and hot
from just talking so much about tight ends night because
I love tight ends.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
It's a it's a it's at the position, you know,
it's probably makes me spend.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
It's the big guy gets spent, the big guys trying
to cool off.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Mhm, WHOA. I love tight end? All right, all right, back,
all right, we're back. We're back to building the perfect
tight end.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
The perfect tight end, all right.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
The categories are football IQ, blocking ability, hands, personality, and.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Swag football like you. Who's the smartest tight ends out
there in the game?

Speaker 1 (59:17):
Probably Greg Olsen. He's probably I.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Was thinking that. I was thinking the same thing. If
you're thinking that and I was thinking that, and you
said it right before I was going to say it,
then it's Greg Olsen. The smart guy, very smart guy.
And that's also why he's one of the best commentators
of all time. Just right away like that, because he's
that smart of a guy can break down the game
of football like that and make it easy for you
to understand it. Greg Olsen has the football IQ that
we want.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
In a tight end, blocking ability.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Blocking ability. You want to know who I'm going to
go with, Mark Bovaro. Mark, Mark Bovaro blocking ability was
the best blocking tight end out there. Coach Balichik still
talks about him to this day because he coached him
when he was, you know, with the Giants back in
the heyday. That's how which Belichick is and that's how
much experience he has in the game of football. But

(01:00:04):
Mark Bovaro, I have a friend who played against Mark Bavaro,
who who still swears to this day that he has
the strongest hands that he ever felt strong hand. I'm
talking this guy that's my friend is a psychopath. Like
he don't take shit. Help freaking who's.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Your friend, Donnie?

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Donnie? You met Donnie real quick and went to the
University of Arizona. He got me to the University of Arizona.
Played played like two years on the Falcons in the NFL.
But this guy would freaking walk up to a wall,
that concrete wall and just drill his forehead into the
wall until the freaking concrete wall breaks open and he
and he'll walk away totally fine. He's that freaking tough
and strong. And he said, Rob Mark Bovaro put his

(01:00:44):
hands on me. I never felt hands like that in
my life, and he threw me across the freaking field.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Well, I could we could put you in both of
those categories.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
Mark Bavaro hands, best hands, tight ended.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
All the best hands. Well, Greg Olsen has great hands,
and you know we put him as a football like
you can't have him twice. We're you know, talking about
each tight end. You know, Tony had great chance, Tony
Gonzalez did did have great hands.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
Ken Winslow the dad great hands as well.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
Who's who's the ghost mm Casper Caspa, the Raiders, the Raiders.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
That's yeah, he used to always.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Having great Wait a second, I seen, I seen he
made one of those greatest catches of all time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah like that. Yeah, the billion may cats. I know
exactly who you're talking about. Yes, you're in there. Yeah,
I'm in there. You can toss me in there for
some great.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
I think you got personality.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Yeah, I'll go with personality. You can put me okay,
we can put myself under personality.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
I like personality. And then you could be unblocking, you
could be in hand.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
But no, we're talking about the greatest player. Like we're
putting we're billing the greatest tight end ever. So who's
the good blocking ability in hands? But we're talking about
the best. I'll go with you. Never off the ball
though once in a while, but that's because my wrists retired.

(01:02:13):
My rest are tired.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
You see, you dropped the ball. I like it from
doing what.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
Just rice graps, you know, when you squeeze the rice
and you strengthen your hands, strengthen my hands. For some reason,
I got bored that morning before the game, and I
was doing it. Yeah, all right for.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
All you young kids, no rice, no rice hands before
a game.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Your rists might get tired.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
So should we go?

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
Who's the best hands? Who does AI say the best
tight end hands have?

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
But we're not here that get AI's answer.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
But I want to hear what they say.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
I'm gonna I'm going to mission to stump out the AI.
Remember Belichick. You see, I'm on a mission to stump
out bad football this week.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
You're off side to take a lot. You're holding, you're holding,
we're putting rackets on your arms.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Hey, I agree with me. It's Tony hands, Tony guns best. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
I thought so too. I mean we said it, swag.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Gotta go trapes Travis kelce Travis Kelcey.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Swag gotta go trap.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
So let's let's let's recap it the football i q's
Greg olts In. The blocking nobility is Mark Bavaro, the
hands is Tony Gonzalez, the personality is Rob Grenkowski, and
the swag is Travis Kelsey. What about like body shouldn't that?
That should be grunk too? You want your you want

(01:03:45):
your tight end to be fucking large?

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Ye, and in charge? Put me in there? What about
peace size? We'll go with my brother again, yeah, or
Shannon Sharp. We don't know, Yeah, we don't know. We
don't know, but we heard, we listened, and that's the
best tight end ever built. Well, what would that titan be?

(01:04:10):
A freak, a stud, a wizard.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
It's all of them, right, Oh, yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
All of them.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
