I got y'all here, you know, to talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Fashion King of the Fits.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I feel like for me twenty twelve, when I came
in the league, it was different, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It was a lot different.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Something that was like once like frowned upon is now
like accepted to a point where it's like a competition.
You feel me like amongst teams, amongst one another, and
how we show up every single week, and so you know,
with that, man, I feel like over the past few years,
like Browns have had like held a high rep high
regard in the fashion space, and I personally, you know,
(00:57):
thought of you guys, you know, were a good reporsentitation of.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
That of of just like man.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Style every single week you got your own. And so
last year j LK had the crown. And so we
you know, we're trying to figure out man.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Who who who?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
They can't get a fits for this twenty twenty four, twenty.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Five year the crown. What do you mean by that?
I mean the crown is like who's stepping every week?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I mean I feel like he just I mean it's
a different it is the category different, the category different.
But he came the most extravagant, like as far as
like just expanding the culture wise, like.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, uniqueness, he was the most very unique. Yeah, so
we're saying, Josh, yeah, yeah, that's what we're talking about. Joy.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
He explained the culture to a lot of people that
really didn't understand.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It's very it's storytelling.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, especially when he been on his story he like
you swiped through and you're like, I see what you did.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, it's modern form of what you know existed in
this past.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So I mean for y'all, like what even like sparks
your interest in fashion, Like why you choose to where
the fits you do?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Like what's your inspiration like all of that.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Shoot, I think for me it comes back to like
how I was raised, the people I was raised around,
like my friend groups, being on the West Coast, Like
I was big in the skinny jeans and like all
those different type of trends and eras and now like
that I'm on the East coast. I'm around different guys
with different styles and trends, Like I kind of just
(02:42):
pick and choose, uh, like who's stuff that I'm looking
at in terms of getting inspiration and just like overall,
just like uniqueness is just pulling stuff from everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I feel like I ain't gonna lie for me. I ain't.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I just I always had that feeling, like you know
that first day back to school when you done got
a new fit, Like I don't know, it just ain't
it ain't nothing like having on.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
New clothes, bro like just being fresh.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So that's the only reason night Vialely you used to
want to go to school like I can get up,
get fresh everybody like, but you got no new jade
like you got this.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So that was always like how it started, just seeing.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
People reaction to what you got on, especially when you
got stuff that people ain't got or they might got it,
but they don't wear how you wear, the colors, how
you put it, because you know the color palette is
everybody don't know the color palette when it comes to fashion,
So just I don't know if yeah, yeah yeah, color
talk to the color palette.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Really, it's just like educate educated yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So you know a lot of people will say, just
for example, if you have on a blue T shirt.
You know what I'm saying, A lot of people will
go white shoes or they go blue shoes when you
can go something that matches that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So that's just the palette of type of color, yeah,
type of color, like you can go blues, go with
yellow and stuff like exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You know you're doing a lot of color palette stuff too.
So I guess you want something every day, you know,
you know, but you know, look just so cunaturally yeah, naturally.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
You know, some people ain't got that gift.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That's why you're sitting on these seats.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Talent put me on games. Yeah, what you got, g D.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I feel like I don't know that might be different.
I know I used to wear some bs.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Okay irs I was.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I wasn't always like this. Yeah, I don't know what changed.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I would say what sparked probably, you know, I think
music has a lot to do with it, probably, you know,
artists and stuff looking at what they were, you know,
like you know, even growing up in New Orleans, two
always kind of happened that we always way cash money
(05:00):
that was fitted.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh yeah, so hm, I don't know, man, just music
has a lot to do with it.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I don't know, but not just I feel like it's
natural now, like like a life sentence.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
But now you want to think about it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
How we even dressed going to like away games, Like
when I came in, it was strictly like suiting. You
feel me like, that's all it was. It was you're
gonna go. You're gonna get your your suit him Taylor,
it's gonna be to the NW you go. You gotta
have a tie. That's mandatory. Now when we step on
away games, it's it's fair game. Like all of that
(05:36):
has like changed drastically, like from skinnies to now overflow baggie,
where like everything just comes back in time. We've now
just modernized it, put a different silhouette on it, and
you know what I'm saying, made it now normal. But
if we look at everything our parents wore, it's coming back.
We were in the sand, like sang right. It's crazy
(05:59):
how it worked. So for you guys, like what makes
a good fit like for you like or maybe even
a better question like how do you how did you
come up with your own style? Because I feel like
y'all all walk kind of a different path. So like
how did you figure out your style? And like how
(06:21):
like what made you identify? Like, yeah, that's me.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I went through like a lot of trials and tribulations
trying to I'm still trying to figure out my style,
but like I got such a specific I feel like
body type because I'm not like a big muscular guy,
but I'm also not like too lengthy, and I feel
like a lot of clothes fit me good, but like
certain stuff just don't look right. It did to make
me look too short or made me look too long.
(06:48):
So that was kind of the thing. Like it just
trial and error running through certain stuff and like having
to just like give out clothes because I don't want
to wear them no more. You have to buying them
because I'm like it just don't look right on it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
H What's like what's your go to piece? Like like
if I had to make I had to you had
to select like one piece and you couldn't go without it.
Like what's that that's a hoodie?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's a half It's definitely a good pair of pants. Pants.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I can make a good pair of pants shake for
a while. Yeah, with different accessories and different tops and botty,
I can make a shake.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I don't think mine would be a clothing item. It's
probably gonna be clone. I can't go without. Like, you
know what I'm saying, Enhance the fit. Okay, my fi, My.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Fit could be mid.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
But when I walked past and you smell me, you
feel me, it kind of made my fit.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
You know what I'm saying, make it. You know what
I'm saying. So I never heard that one before hearing that.
I never I swear to guy, I never heard that real. Yeah,
not that's gonna be not bad.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
But I'm saying, like, say, if you got on something simple,
if I can put on a plain.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
White tea to who what audience? You must be talking
any audience.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Really, you can go plaining white tea, bag of jeans,
g phase, but you smell good.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You ain't the freshest in the room.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
But once you walk past it like like his fit
ain't bad, but the way he smells just enhanced.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
The What do you look like?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
That's interesting if it's an all white fit and then
just to smell, Yeah, you gotta be in the writing
body for that.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I don't know, hey, but yeah you did.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You know, you know better than me? It worked. What's
your cologne now, Ken Cole Black? One of my favorites
right now?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
All right, what y'all think though, y'all think NBA or NFL,
Like who got the better better style?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Because I feel like for so long NFL was non existent,
Like when you thought of fashion, it was strictly NBA players,
like even I mean, that's where Alan iverson. That's why
I think of like as a kid. You feel me
like instantaneous like thinking AI.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
But I'm saying yeah, and the air shoe don't look good.
No sick team, That's what I'm saying. Like the body type, yeah,
they too long and it make I think.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
We get out.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I think it's unfair because we only have eighteen weeks
games or you feel me.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
They got to put on plenty of fits. Some of
them stylists be rolling through them.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, like nobody here has a stylist, right, yeah, let's
talk about that.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Let's talk about that stylish.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Of course, don't currently have a stylist. Have I had
a stylist over my career? Yes, before started with started
with a stylist like way like two thousand and fourteen, like.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
One of my best friends to this DA school.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah yeah, shout out desk Todd Patrick got a brand
of her own. But we really just grew together. But
I had a whole different idea on what style of meant.
Like when I spoke to her, I said, like, I
don't necessarily need you to just pick our clothes and
just say you're wearing that, Like, I need you more
for the pieces I can the pieces I can't get
(10:03):
the relationships, like those things matter the most to me.
And so that's where I kind of just had a
whole different outlook on how I viewed stylists because I
feel like I always dressed myself. I always been fashionable,
but there's just certain things I can't get my hands
on or do I have the time.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
So it was very.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Conversational for us, always like what you want, what you're thinking,
what's your inspode this week and then float from there,
but yeah to this today, nothing you know, you.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Just it's just I got it. I can do it,
got it now? Yeah I got. I got a few
few relationships people I know, so yeah, I got like
Marquise last year.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, he had every fit of every day played out
keys here.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I've never seen that fact, the definition of no days off.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, every day, like please white all the Yeah, you
got it, you got.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
It, Like I would love to see his closet though
he is a collector, like he's truly a collector.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
So you got a stylist, No, No, I've worked with
a couple.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, no, I can't do it. Yeah, no stylist.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I ain't never even worked with a stylist before, So
I ain't gonna lie. I think my pit b B
when the stylist d M me and I go to
their page and they can't dress themselves, that kind.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Of yeah you can't. I can't dress at work, but
you can't dress yourself. You know. Everybody looking for a
way in. That's it.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I'll just be like, I don't know, never worked one,
but yeah, I'm looking looking forward to doing probably something stylogy.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
No I had.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I had a stylist my first year in the league.
But no, I don't have a style and had a
stylist for a long time. Yeah, but I do have
you know, personal shoppers. Yeah, I do have a lot
of friends in the industry, you know, from store to
store who will point stuff out me. You know, people
send me stuff all the time. So and I do
(12:02):
feel like stylists are good for a certain you know,
Asian occasions right defens fashion, you know, stuff like that,
stuff like that. But you know, for as far as
the season goes, you go either way. Like I'm not
you know, I have more.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Respect for if you do your own personal opinion on stuff.
You know, they.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Don't you send me the shirt, the jacket depends and everything.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's no. Nah, yeah, I can't go like that.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
You and you do want to dress for yourself, not yourself,
but you don't want to dress and sometimes stylist will
wi address you for the audience because not you, yea,
not you.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, you know you want to be yourself. You want to.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Even with selling clothes like it's a it's a it's
a status value and it's a of you know, face
value or the clothes like you don't want to you
know what I'm saying. You don't want to dress for
the audience. You don't dress for the stats to look
like you have. Yeah, it looks like you're a certain
level of person.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I get it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I respect you more if you do what you do
how your own style, and you can rotate off of that,
but don't dress a certain way because somebody else wants
you to dress this way and because other people a
dressing like this, you want to be like them. True,
you know that's something you know. I catch myself doing
it sometimes, like damn, this was fire, Like I gotta
do this, but yeah, you gotta remember that's when who
(13:36):
you are. Yeah, that just made me think the last
fit when I had the mask and the glasses on,
and then one of my homeboys back home, he's like, well,
I know that fit. I'm like what I bought most
of all this from Amazon, Like like I'm like, this
ain't don't cost that much.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Depend on how you got to get paid more bands.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
For I went on glasses, the mask, the fitted shirt,
the jackie.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I'm big on brand discovery, like finding brands that you
don't necessarily know about, you know, emerging overseas, whatever it
might be. It's not like your your high tier, like
it's that everybody knows, but it's how you put it
together that I I think that's the true essence of like, yeah,
that's the art. That's the art of it. Since y'all
(14:27):
don't have sylads? Right, how did like how long does
it take you? Or like when you're thinking about the season,
how far in advance.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Are you looking for your fishes? Right? Like? Are you
week to week? Are you mid?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I'm doing shopping like for weeks one through eight and
I'm gonna come back and a dress eight through whatever, Like.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
How y'all how y'all handle that?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I usually do, like right after camp, I'll go and
get you know, probably half the season here and there,
and you know, get some pickups here and trying to
do a front load. Yeah by week you know, yeah,
don't do the same thing, but you know, financial right.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Getting on me a little bit, but.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Try to get out the way facts though, like this
one dedicated to the season, like this the budget for
for the fit.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I ain't a lot Most of the mine would be
week the week, week the week. Yeah, I'll be week
the week. Sometimes a lot of yeah you you didn't
say Amazon for some stuff that problem?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
But god have you Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Like I just like, I don't know a lot of time.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We sometimes be the day of wow, drive home that
morning and just think of something.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
All right, but I think this is gonna look right
with this hold on if your applies deep deep for
you gotta have some pieces.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, I'm kind of like honestly like fifty to fifty
year two trying to figure it out. So, uh, last year,
having a real off season, like full off season, I
was able to go to like Paris Fashion Week and
and travel a little bit and like shop overseas, So
I did buy a majority of my stuff, like at
(16:13):
the beginning of the year while I was out there
or had it shift over. But now that we've gotten
after by week kind of like what Grant said, like
and basically what Deepel said, like, I'm like more like
a day to day, week to week just trying to
put it together. On the flight, I'm more so focused
on the game and the job and the fit at
that point.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So I just want to shut something together.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Sure, I know a couple of yard done fashion Week,
You're doing Fast Week this year.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You're gonna make your You're gonna make your your debut.
I've done it.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
But like, talk about your experience what that was like,
because I know you was you was on that tour
last year.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
D TR he was out there a little bit.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, Yeah, I mean I've been like four times. I
think here full time. So honestly, it's a good opportunity
to meet a lot of these brands, a lot of
these people build relationships with them. Have you seen them stuff?
Have them sending you stuff in season? You could be,
(17:16):
you know, the first to kind of get a look
at their new stuff and like stuff like that. But man,
it's a frenzy out there. It's like a I don't know,
to be honest, like a big old clout race. Like
everybody's trying to get to the same place, the same
shows and.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
This, this that. So I gotta take a little months,
a couple of.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Breaks from that. I ain't going to January, but I might.
You know you're going to the summer. Yeah, I might
pop up. I really want to go to Tokyot. I've
been to Paris passed like three times, and I'm trying
trying to change it a little.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I'm gonna I'm gonna take that trick. You're a runway
guy or you or you or.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
You front row. You just see it to watch the shows.
You know, some dudes walk now.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And I'm an opportunitist. Opportunists man makes use Yeah you
heard yeah, get that way walking? Come on?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, I went to Paris this past off season for
the first time, got to hang out with all the guys.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
That was honestly an eye opening experience because the fashion
world is like way different than anything else in.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
The US, especially like that week.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
So just being able to meet all the different people,
then see like how the shows are ran, how different
like stylists know each other from just being all over
the world.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And then just like the PR.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Connects, getting behind the scenes, get the free stuff because
who don't love that? And then like I said earlier,
just like trying to build my like collection of clothes
for when I come back. So like, okay, they sent
me this whole fit that I put together custom made,
so I know I got a fit for that that
might be week one, and just kind of talking with
(18:58):
my my PR people about that. Uh, I think that
was really cool.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Uh this year.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Last year, I didn't do any runways. I had the
opportunity to, didn't do any. There was like some small
shows that was like you think you want to do this,
and I was like, I don't think I keep a
straight face for real, So that was kind of why
I didn't do it. But I think I might try
this year and venture out and go outside the box.
I did miss like the Louis Vuitton show running around
doing some other stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Shout out for real, And I definitely need to check
that out this year too.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, you definitely got to. You can't pass that one up. Yeah,
all right, man, a couple more questions for y'all. I'm

moment in their life career.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
It could be.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Field on the field, could be not football related, but
like just that moment in time where you had to
like really uh channel that inner dog that kind of
lives inside of all of us and you kind of
felt yourself at that crossroads, but you prevailed.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
And I feel like we are we either got one
or we got several, But uh, what's that?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
What's that moment for y'all that stands out the most?
I ain't gotta be along with me on the off
the Yeah, It could be. It could be obviously injury,
something you went through, whether it was league, collegiate, or
something personal in your life that that you haven't gone
through and you're made.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
On the other side, we rejoiced in our suffering. Could
suffering produces character? Mm hmmm, character.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Produces hope, you know what I'm saying. So I think
it's way more than one in my opinion for me
for sure. I don't know if I could point out
just one. Okay, football wise, I do a funny one
like I got ran over l s U like my
first my spring like spring practice.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Who is it back? Uh guys? Yeah, yeah Washington, that
boy with the Commanders seven put me on my ass.
I said, never again again? What you do to think that.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
More?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
It was really just like you know now seventh practice,
like oh yeah we thunning up? Yeah yeah, it was yeah, yeah,
the mentality change. So yeah, you always gotta be locked
for sure from the moments and this year game as well.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Shout out p oh Man practice. Yeah that's about the temple.
Temple and practice. Yeah yeah. Off the field, mm hmm.
We got injury. I go injury.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
I told my achilles my rookie year, but I kind
of knew injuries come up the game, so the facts
ain't too much we do about that. The field, I
don't know, y'all do y'all football, y'all do y'all football
on first football.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It could be either or though, it's just you know
what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, it's cool. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
My football one was probably it was my sophomore year
high school. Had a guy in front of me, big
time recruit, number one quarterback. I had the option to
move actually out here to Ohio, come live with my uncle,
go to Saint Xavier, which is a big school out here,
just trying to get some more more looks. Ended up
playing receiver that year, and I had a hard conversation
(26:33):
with my mom. I just like, now I'm gonna stay
here with my boys, was said, and kind of figured
this thing out, and they ended up working out for
the better.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
End up going to u C. L A.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Now I'm in the league with y'all, and the guy
that was playing over me doesn't play football no more.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
So it all worked out for the better. But yeah,
that was kind of a moment for me. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Sure, shout out bro shout out broh. Yeah for me,
I probably was I mean I got a lot of them.
You know, I went to a couple of different schools,
but probably twenty seventeen when I ain't had no school,
I was at no school, like I was at home
working with my pops. So just seeing everybody else on
TV playing ball, I'm like, well, I got to get
back right So once I got the opportunity to play again, then,
(27:14):
like you said that mentality, like you know what I'm saying,
every time I get out there, everybody got to see me.
Somebody got to get it. Come on, so come on,
that's just where it came. Anybody can get them came
in Man Love Man, your dog moment. Dog moment for me,
(27:35):
it was.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I talk about this on a couple of episodes ago
because nobody really asked me, you know what I'm saying,
So it kind of like h I was like, dang,
And I have several to be honest, but like one
that stands out to me the most, like twenty twenty
second time turn my ACL three games left in the season,
COVID year, Like we're not having a good year at all,
(27:57):
but we still got a chance at the playoffs. That
it ain't happened. I told myself like that after the
first time, I'm like, bro, if I tear my knee again,
like I'm done, bro. Like it just took like so
much out of me to like get back to like myself.
And I was late in my career. I think I
was a year nine ten at that time, and you
(28:18):
just you know, you know how the game worked, and
I felt like just everything came crashing down when I
got in the locker room and I found out, you know,
I told myself, called my wife, like just broke down
in tears, like immediately, you know, like man, I told me, say,
I think it's over.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I think I'm done.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
And I really felt that way strongly, like for a
couple of days, and it was like, really, you know,
my wife and my mom just reminded me that you know,
your situation is not just meant for you, you know
what I'm saying, It's meant for somebody else to see
you know, how you persevere, how you respond, And that
really just challenged my character, like everything I stood before
(28:56):
before that, everything I told a little kid or whomever that.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I can't I can't let that be. Yeah, you feel
me like I can't.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
So I had to check myself and man made that commitment,
you know, to get back put that work in.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, I am brother. One more question, how did you
laughing at bro? This is a serious question, serious question.
Thirteen years right, blood, sweat, tears, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Two knees, two knees, should more than that, shoulders, fingers toes, yeah,
fingers everything for this game of football.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Yeah? Was it worth it? Was it worth it? That's
what you're gonna ask. No, definitely, Oh was it worth absolutely? First?
Absolutely was it worth it? It was your first vacation,
retirement gonna be But was it worth it?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Is the main I really I really want to go.
I really I haven't been to Africa. Yeah, so like
going to the motherland for me probably would be will
beds like a workwhile trip, both for like pleasure and
like community like service work.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I feel like you go out there, you got to
Uh So I think I think that that's in there,
it's in in their future.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
For that's a great trip. Mm hm. Last year right
six text me about going.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
He did text me, he did text me like, it's
just it might be tough for me trying to get
out there right now. But we're gonna see what a
little one. I might need just a little more time
for that happened. One more question, get the other answer
the other what's up?
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
What was it worth? Main? The main part was the
game worth it? Was it worth it? That's a loaded question.
It is loaded. So the quick answer was like absolutely,
absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
But no, but I mean honestly, like like we've been
saying for like the past couple of weeks, Man, with
our circumstances, like we pray for this.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
You feel me Like, Man, I came in undrafted. I
was pissed. You feel me.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I was hot, but like that was that was what
my steps you know what I'm saying. My steps were ordered,
and uh man, it's like you get to this level.
I told myself, I said, I can't go back home
once I get in that door, I can't go back home.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Bro, you feel me?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
And I didn't know thirteen years later I would have
been able to accomplish everything I have. Uh you know,
Super Bowl ring, endless, endless, you know, endless stats.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
The numbers are there, They solid, they solid, you know
what I'm just saying, Like it's just like I don't
know them, but they like there you feel me? Then
started ten out of thirteen years, whatever it is, eleventh
out of thirteen.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
You know what it is.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
But it's another reason I asked that, because you know,
when you're younger, you dreaming about you know, praying to
get here, dream you don't think about them A cls.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
And went six years without missing the game. My first
six I had to call all my injuries on the
back end. Yeah, I said, it's just it's just part
of the game. I meant to pay part of the game,
bro and how it's meant to play out. That's it again,
It's just part.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Of my story. Put it on to high. My scars,
you feel me? We all got them, all got them
me respect. Man. That's a good question, y'all boys.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I'm looking forward to watching y'all seeing y'all have long,
prosperous careers. Man, our boys keep doing it, trying know
and more important to keep stepping you feel me?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, dream can't get it fits life sentence. I like that.
I like that. We're gon we're gonna end on that
one right there. That's whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
That was the end of another episode of Dolls Only Podcasts.
I guess we'll never get gd's top five lists and
this is og rod signing out until next time.
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:00):
This is O g Rode back for another episode of
Dogs Only Podcasts, and today we're talking fashion, more specifically
King of the Fits.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
We got D Belled, DTR and my guy GD. So
stay tuned, obviously, I got.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I got y'all here, you know, to talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Fashion King of the Fits.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I feel like for me twenty twelve, when I came
in the league, it was different, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It was a lot different.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Something that was like once like frowned upon is now
like accepted to a point where it's like a competition.
You feel me like amongst teams, amongst one another, and
how we show up every single week, and so you know,
with that, man, I feel like over the past few years,
like Browns have had like held a high rep high
regard in the fashion space, and I personally, you know,
(00:57):
thought of you guys, you know, were a good reporsentitation of.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
That of of just like man.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Style every single week you got your own. And so
last year j LK had the crown. And so we
you know, we're trying to figure out man.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Who who who?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
They can't get a fits for this twenty twenty four, twenty.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Five year the crown. What do you mean by that?
I mean the crown is like who's stepping every week?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I mean I feel like he just I mean it's
a different it is the category different, the category different.
But he came the most extravagant, like as far as
like just expanding the culture wise, like.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, uniqueness, he was the most very unique. Yeah, so
we're saying, Josh, yeah, yeah, that's what we're talking about. Joy.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
He explained the culture to a lot of people that
really didn't understand.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It's very it's storytelling.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, especially when he been on his story he like
you swiped through and you're like, I see what you did.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, it's modern form of what you know existed in
this past.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So I mean for y'all, like what even like sparks
your interest in fashion, Like why you choose to where
the fits you do?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Like what's your inspiration like all of that.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Shoot, I think for me it comes back to like
how I was raised, the people I was raised around,
like my friend groups, being on the West Coast, Like
I was big in the skinny jeans and like all
those different type of trends and eras and now like
that I'm on the East coast. I'm around different guys
with different styles and trends, Like I kind of just
(02:42):
pick and choose, uh, like who's stuff that I'm looking
at in terms of getting inspiration and just like overall,
just like uniqueness is just pulling stuff from everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I feel like I ain't gonna lie for me. I ain't.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I just I always had that feeling, like you know
that first day back to school when you done got
a new fit, Like I don't know, it just ain't
it ain't nothing like having on.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
New clothes, bro like just being fresh.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So that's the only reason night Vialely you used to
want to go to school like I can get up,
get fresh everybody like, but you got no new jade
like you got this.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So that was always like how it started, just seeing.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
People reaction to what you got on, especially when you
got stuff that people ain't got or they might got it,
but they don't wear how you wear, the colors, how
you put it, because you know the color palette is
everybody don't know the color palette when it comes to fashion,
So just I don't know if yeah, yeah yeah, color
talk to the color palette.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Really, it's just like educate educated yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So you know a lot of people will say, just
for example, if you have on a blue T shirt.
You know what I'm saying, A lot of people will
go white shoes or they go blue shoes when you
can go something that matches that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So that's just the palette of type of color, yeah,
type of color, like you can go blues, go with
yellow and stuff like exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You know you're doing a lot of color palette stuff too.
So I guess you want something every day, you know,
you know, but you know, look just so cunaturally yeah, naturally.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
You know, some people ain't got that gift.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That's why you're sitting on these seats.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Talent put me on games. Yeah, what you got, g D.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I feel like I don't know that might be different.
I know I used to wear some bs.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Okay irs I was.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I wasn't always like this. Yeah, I don't know what changed.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I would say what sparked probably, you know, I think
music has a lot to do with it, probably, you know,
artists and stuff looking at what they were, you know,
like you know, even growing up in New Orleans, two
always kind of happened that we always way cash money
(05:00):
that was fitted.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh yeah, so hm, I don't know, man, just music
has a lot to do with it.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I don't know, but not just I feel like it's
natural now, like like a life sentence.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
But now you want to think about it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
How we even dressed going to like away games, Like
when I came in, it was strictly like suiting. You
feel me like, that's all it was. It was you're
gonna go. You're gonna get your your suit him Taylor,
it's gonna be to the NW you go. You gotta
have a tie. That's mandatory. Now when we step on
away games, it's it's fair game. Like all of that
(05:36):
has like changed drastically, like from skinnies to now overflow baggie,
where like everything just comes back in time. We've now
just modernized it, put a different silhouette on it, and
you know what I'm saying, made it now normal. But
if we look at everything our parents wore, it's coming back.
We were in the sand, like sang right. It's crazy
(05:59):
how it worked. So for you guys, like what makes
a good fit like for you like or maybe even
a better question like how do you how did you
come up with your own style? Because I feel like
y'all all walk kind of a different path. So like
how did you figure out your style? And like how
(06:21):
like what made you identify? Like, yeah, that's me.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I went through like a lot of trials and tribulations
trying to I'm still trying to figure out my style,
but like I got such a specific I feel like
body type because I'm not like a big muscular guy,
but I'm also not like too lengthy, and I feel
like a lot of clothes fit me good, but like
certain stuff just don't look right. It did to make
me look too short or made me look too long.
(06:48):
So that was kind of the thing. Like it just
trial and error running through certain stuff and like having
to just like give out clothes because I don't want
to wear them no more. You have to buying them
because I'm like it just don't look right on it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
H What's like what's your go to piece? Like like
if I had to make I had to you had
to select like one piece and you couldn't go without it.
Like what's that that's a hoodie?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's a half It's definitely a good pair of pants. Pants.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I can make a good pair of pants shake for
a while. Yeah, with different accessories and different tops and botty,
I can make a shake.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I don't think mine would be a clothing item. It's
probably gonna be clone. I can't go without. Like, you
know what I'm saying, Enhance the fit. Okay, my fi, My.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Fit could be mid.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
But when I walked past and you smell me, you
feel me, it kind of made my fit.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
You know what I'm saying, make it. You know what
I'm saying. So I never heard that one before hearing that.
I never I swear to guy, I never heard that real. Yeah,
not that's gonna be not bad.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
But I'm saying, like, say, if you got on something simple,
if I can put on a plain.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
White tea to who what audience? You must be talking
any audience.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Really, you can go plaining white tea, bag of jeans,
g phase, but you smell good.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You ain't the freshest in the room.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
But once you walk past it like like his fit
ain't bad, but the way he smells just enhanced.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
The What do you look like?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
That's interesting if it's an all white fit and then
just to smell, Yeah, you gotta be in the writing
body for that.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I don't know, hey, but yeah you did.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You know, you know better than me? It worked. What's
your cologne now, Ken Cole Black? One of my favorites
right now?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
All right, what y'all think though, y'all think NBA or NFL,
Like who got the better better style?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Because I feel like for so long NFL was non existent,
Like when you thought of fashion, it was strictly NBA players,
like even I mean, that's where Alan iverson. That's why
I think of like as a kid. You feel me
like instantaneous like thinking AI.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
But I'm saying yeah, and the air shoe don't look good.
No sick team, That's what I'm saying. Like the body type, yeah,
they too long and it make I think.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
We get out.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I think it's unfair because we only have eighteen weeks
games or you feel me.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
They got to put on plenty of fits. Some of
them stylists be rolling through them.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, like nobody here has a stylist, right, yeah, let's
talk about that.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Let's talk about that stylish.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Of course, don't currently have a stylist. Have I had
a stylist over my career? Yes, before started with started
with a stylist like way like two thousand and fourteen, like.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
One of my best friends to this DA school.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah yeah, shout out desk Todd Patrick got a brand
of her own. But we really just grew together. But
I had a whole different idea on what style of meant.
Like when I spoke to her, I said, like, I
don't necessarily need you to just pick our clothes and
just say you're wearing that, Like, I need you more
for the pieces I can the pieces I can't get
(10:03):
the relationships, like those things matter the most to me.
And so that's where I kind of just had a
whole different outlook on how I viewed stylists because I
feel like I always dressed myself. I always been fashionable,
but there's just certain things I can't get my hands
on or do I have the time.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
So it was very.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Conversational for us, always like what you want, what you're thinking,
what's your inspode this week and then float from there,
but yeah to this today, nothing you know, you.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Just it's just I got it. I can do it,
got it now? Yeah I got. I got a few
few relationships people I know, so yeah, I got like
Marquise last year.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, he had every fit of every day played out
keys here.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I've never seen that fact, the definition of no days off.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, every day, like please white all the Yeah, you
got it, you got.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
It, Like I would love to see his closet though
he is a collector, like he's truly a collector.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
So you got a stylist, No, No, I've worked with
a couple.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, no, I can't do it. Yeah, no stylist.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I ain't never even worked with a stylist before, So
I ain't gonna lie. I think my pit b B
when the stylist d M me and I go to
their page and they can't dress themselves, that kind.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Of yeah you can't. I can't dress at work, but
you can't dress yourself. You know. Everybody looking for a
way in. That's it.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I'll just be like, I don't know, never worked one,
but yeah, I'm looking looking forward to doing probably something stylogy.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
No I had.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I had a stylist my first year in the league.
But no, I don't have a style and had a
stylist for a long time. Yeah, but I do have
you know, personal shoppers. Yeah, I do have a lot
of friends in the industry, you know, from store to
store who will point stuff out me. You know, people
send me stuff all the time. So and I do
(12:02):
feel like stylists are good for a certain you know,
Asian occasions right defens fashion, you know, stuff like that,
stuff like that. But you know, for as far as
the season goes, you go either way. Like I'm not
you know, I have more.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Respect for if you do your own personal opinion on stuff.
You know, they.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Don't you send me the shirt, the jacket depends and everything.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's no. Nah, yeah, I can't go like that.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
You and you do want to dress for yourself, not yourself,
but you don't want to dress and sometimes stylist will
wi address you for the audience because not you, yea,
not you.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, you know you want to be yourself. You want to.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Even with selling clothes like it's a it's a it's
a status value and it's a of you know, face
value or the clothes like you don't want to you
know what I'm saying. You don't want to dress for
the audience. You don't dress for the stats to look
like you have. Yeah, it looks like you're a certain
level of person.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I get it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I respect you more if you do what you do
how your own style, and you can rotate off of that,
but don't dress a certain way because somebody else wants
you to dress this way and because other people a
dressing like this, you want to be like them. True,
you know that's something you know. I catch myself doing
it sometimes, like damn, this was fire, Like I gotta
do this, but yeah, you gotta remember that's when who
(13:36):
you are. Yeah, that just made me think the last
fit when I had the mask and the glasses on,
and then one of my homeboys back home, he's like, well,
I know that fit. I'm like what I bought most
of all this from Amazon, Like like I'm like, this
ain't don't cost that much.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Depend on how you got to get paid more bands.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
For I went on glasses, the mask, the fitted shirt,
the jackie.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I'm big on brand discovery, like finding brands that you
don't necessarily know about, you know, emerging overseas, whatever it
might be. It's not like your your high tier, like
it's that everybody knows, but it's how you put it
together that I I think that's the true essence of like, yeah,
that's the art. That's the art of it. Since y'all
(14:27):
don't have sylads? Right, how did like how long does
it take you? Or like when you're thinking about the season,
how far in advance.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Are you looking for your fishes? Right? Like? Are you
week to week? Are you mid?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I'm doing shopping like for weeks one through eight and
I'm gonna come back and a dress eight through whatever, Like.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
How y'all how y'all handle that?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I usually do, like right after camp, I'll go and
get you know, probably half the season here and there,
and you know, get some pickups here and trying to
do a front load. Yeah by week you know, yeah,
don't do the same thing, but you know, financial right.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Getting on me a little bit, but.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Try to get out the way facts though, like this
one dedicated to the season, like this the budget for
for the fit.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I ain't a lot Most of the mine would be
week the week, week the week. Yeah, I'll be week
the week. Sometimes a lot of yeah you you didn't
say Amazon for some stuff that problem?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
But god have you Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Like I just like, I don't know a lot of time.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We sometimes be the day of wow, drive home that
morning and just think of something.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
All right, but I think this is gonna look right
with this hold on if your applies deep deep for
you gotta have some pieces.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, I'm kind of like honestly like fifty to fifty
year two trying to figure it out. So, uh, last year,
having a real off season, like full off season, I
was able to go to like Paris Fashion Week and
and travel a little bit and like shop overseas, So
I did buy a majority of my stuff, like at
(16:13):
the beginning of the year while I was out there
or had it shift over. But now that we've gotten
after by week kind of like what Grant said, like
and basically what Deepel said, like, I'm like more like
a day to day, week to week just trying to
put it together. On the flight, I'm more so focused
on the game and the job and the fit at
that point.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So I just want to shut something together.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Sure, I know a couple of yard done fashion Week,
You're doing Fast Week this year.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You're gonna make your You're gonna make your your debut.
I've done it.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
But like, talk about your experience what that was like,
because I know you was you was on that tour
last year.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
D TR he was out there a little bit.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, Yeah, I mean I've been like four times. I
think here full time. So honestly, it's a good opportunity
to meet a lot of these brands, a lot of
these people build relationships with them. Have you seen them stuff?
Have them sending you stuff in season? You could be,
(17:16):
you know, the first to kind of get a look
at their new stuff and like stuff like that. But man,
it's a frenzy out there. It's like a I don't know,
to be honest, like a big old clout race. Like
everybody's trying to get to the same place, the same
shows and.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
This, this that. So I gotta take a little months,
a couple of.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Breaks from that. I ain't going to January, but I might.
You know you're going to the summer. Yeah, I might
pop up. I really want to go to Tokyot. I've
been to Paris passed like three times, and I'm trying
trying to change it a little.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I'm gonna I'm gonna take that trick. You're a runway
guy or you or you or.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
You front row. You just see it to watch the shows.
You know, some dudes walk now.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And I'm an opportunitist. Opportunists man makes use Yeah you
heard yeah, get that way walking? Come on?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, I went to Paris this past off season for
the first time, got to hang out with all the guys.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
That was honestly an eye opening experience because the fashion
world is like way different than anything else in.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
The US, especially like that week.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
So just being able to meet all the different people,
then see like how the shows are ran, how different
like stylists know each other from just being all over
the world.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And then just like the PR.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Connects, getting behind the scenes, get the free stuff because
who don't love that? And then like I said earlier,
just like trying to build my like collection of clothes
for when I come back. So like, okay, they sent
me this whole fit that I put together custom made,
so I know I got a fit for that that
might be week one, and just kind of talking with
(18:58):
my my PR people about that. Uh, I think that
was really cool.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Uh this year.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Last year, I didn't do any runways. I had the
opportunity to, didn't do any. There was like some small
shows that was like you think you want to do this,
and I was like, I don't think I keep a
straight face for real, So that was kind of why
I didn't do it. But I think I might try
this year and venture out and go outside the box.
I did miss like the Louis Vuitton show running around
doing some other stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Shout out for real, And I definitely need to check
that out this year too.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, you definitely got to. You can't pass that one up. Yeah,
all right, man, a couple more questions for y'all. I'm
gonna let y'all slide man. Top five, Top five for y'all.
Speaker 2 (19:44):

I've been multiple times. Bro the beil Is he's awesome.
Like why in yeah run away you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
(22:53):
it was two different he merged together West Coast Vibes

about the Florida sway. Juw got it, Elijah got uh,
you know, Martin got that?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Who am I missing DB's true linebackers? They just run
a hit Jordan Jordan, Yeah, you got It's more like casual.
We're going to big, We're going to big boys down. Yeah, yeah,
(23:36):
that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I like that breakdown, bro, that was your baldy breakdown
in the fashion world. Like that was tough, all right, man,
before before I get your boys out of here. I
always ask everybody like their dog moment, like that one
moment in their life career.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
It could be.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Field on the field, could be not football related, but
like just that moment in time where you had to
like really uh channel that inner dog that kind of
lives inside of all of us and you kind of
felt yourself at that crossroads, but you prevailed.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
And I feel like we are we either got one
or we got several, But uh, what's that?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
What's that moment for y'all that stands out the most?
I ain't gotta be along with me on the off
the Yeah, It could be. It could be obviously injury,
something you went through, whether it was league, collegiate, or
something personal in your life that that you haven't gone
through and you're made.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
On the other side, we rejoiced in our suffering. Could
suffering produces character? Mm hmmm, character.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Produces hope, you know what I'm saying. So I think
it's way more than one in my opinion for me
for sure. I don't know if I could point out
just one. Okay, football wise, I do a funny one
like I got ran over l s U like my
first my spring like spring practice.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Who is it back? Uh guys? Yeah, yeah Washington, that
boy with the Commanders seven put me on my ass.
I said, never again again? What you do to think that.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
More?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
It was really just like you know now seventh practice,
like oh yeah we thunning up? Yeah yeah, it was yeah, yeah,
the mentality change. So yeah, you always gotta be locked
for sure from the moments and this year game as well.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Shout out p oh Man practice. Yeah that's about the temple.
Temple and practice. Yeah yeah. Off the field, mm hmm.
We got injury. I go injury.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
I told my achilles my rookie year, but I kind
of knew injuries come up the game, so the facts
ain't too much we do about that. The field, I
don't know, y'all do y'all football, y'all do y'all football
on first football.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It could be either or though, it's just you know
what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, it's cool. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
My football one was probably it was my sophomore year
high school. Had a guy in front of me, big
time recruit, number one quarterback. I had the option to
move actually out here to Ohio, come live with my uncle,
go to Saint Xavier, which is a big school out here,
just trying to get some more more looks. Ended up
playing receiver that year, and I had a hard conversation
(26:33):
with my mom. I just like, now I'm gonna stay
here with my boys, was said, and kind of figured
this thing out, and they ended up working out for
the better.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
End up going to u C. L A.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Now I'm in the league with y'all, and the guy
that was playing over me doesn't play football no more.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
So it all worked out for the better. But yeah,
that was kind of a moment for me. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Sure, shout out bro shout out broh. Yeah for me,
I probably was I mean I got a lot of them.
You know, I went to a couple of different schools,
but probably twenty seventeen when I ain't had no school,
I was at no school, like I was at home
working with my pops. So just seeing everybody else on
TV playing ball, I'm like, well, I got to get
back right So once I got the opportunity to play again, then,
(27:14):
like you said that mentality, like you know what I'm saying,
every time I get out there, everybody got to see me.
Somebody got to get it. Come on, so come on,
that's just where it came. Anybody can get them came
in Man Love Man, your dog moment. Dog moment for me,
(27:35):
it was.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I talk about this on a couple of episodes ago
because nobody really asked me, you know what I'm saying,
So it kind of like h I was like, dang,
And I have several to be honest, but like one
that stands out to me the most, like twenty twenty
second time turn my ACL three games left in the season,
COVID year, Like we're not having a good year at all,
(27:57):
but we still got a chance at the playoffs. That
it ain't happened. I told myself like that after the
first time, I'm like, bro, if I tear my knee again,
like I'm done, bro. Like it just took like so
much out of me to like get back to like myself.
And I was late in my career. I think I
was a year nine ten at that time, and you
(28:18):
just you know, you know how the game worked, and
I felt like just everything came crashing down when I
got in the locker room and I found out, you know,
I told myself, called my wife, like just broke down
in tears, like immediately, you know, like man, I told me, say,
I think it's over.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I think I'm done.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
And I really felt that way strongly, like for a
couple of days, and it was like, really, you know,
my wife and my mom just reminded me that you know,
your situation is not just meant for you, you know
what I'm saying, It's meant for somebody else to see
you know, how you persevere, how you respond, And that
really just challenged my character, like everything I stood before
(28:56):
before that, everything I told a little kid or whomever that.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I can't I can't let that be. Yeah, you feel
me like I can't.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
So I had to check myself and man made that commitment,
you know, to get back put that work in.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, I am brother. One more question, how did you
laughing at bro? This is a serious question, serious question.
Thirteen years right, blood, sweat, tears, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Two knees, two knees, should more than that, shoulders, fingers toes, yeah,
fingers everything for this game of football.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Yeah? Was it worth it? Was it worth it? That's
what you're gonna ask. No, definitely, Oh was it worth absolutely? First?
Absolutely was it worth it? It was your first vacation,
retirement gonna be But was it worth it?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Is the main I really I really want to go.
I really I haven't been to Africa. Yeah, so like
going to the motherland for me probably would be will
beds like a workwhile trip, both for like pleasure and
like community like service work.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I feel like you go out there, you got to
Uh So I think I think that that's in there,
it's in in their future.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
For that's a great trip. Mm hm. Last year right
six text me about going.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
He did text me, he did text me like, it's
just it might be tough for me trying to get
out there right now. But we're gonna see what a
little one. I might need just a little more time
for that happened. One more question, get the other answer
the other what's up?
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
What was it worth? Main? The main part was the
game worth it? Was it worth it? That's a loaded question.
It is loaded. So the quick answer was like absolutely,
absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
But no, but I mean honestly, like like we've been
saying for like the past couple of weeks, Man, with
our circumstances, like we pray for this.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
You feel me Like, Man, I came in undrafted. I
was pissed. You feel me.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I was hot, but like that was that was what
my steps you know what I'm saying. My steps were ordered,
and uh man, it's like you get to this level.
I told myself, I said, I can't go back home
once I get in that door, I can't go back home.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Bro, you feel me?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
And I didn't know thirteen years later I would have
been able to accomplish everything I have. Uh you know,
Super Bowl ring, endless, endless, you know, endless stats.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
The numbers are there, They solid, they solid, you know
what I'm just saying, Like it's just like I don't
know them, but they like there you feel me? Then
started ten out of thirteen years, whatever it is, eleventh
out of thirteen.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
You know what it is.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
But it's another reason I asked that, because you know,
when you're younger, you dreaming about you know, praying to
get here, dream you don't think about them A cls.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
And went six years without missing the game. My first
six I had to call all my injuries on the
back end. Yeah, I said, it's just it's just part
of the game. I meant to pay part of the game,
bro and how it's meant to play out. That's it again,
It's just part.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Of my story. Put it on to high. My scars,
you feel me? We all got them, all got them
me respect. Man. That's a good question, y'all boys.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I'm looking forward to watching y'all seeing y'all have long,
prosperous careers. Man, our boys keep doing it, trying know
and more important to keep stepping you feel me?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, dream can't get it fits life sentence. I like that.
I like that. We're gon we're gonna end on that
one right there. That's whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
That was the end of another episode of Dolls Only Podcasts.
