What if the thrill of victory could actually lead to exhaustion? Join us as we explore the paradox of "the fatigue of winning," examining how sustained success can sometimes drain an athlete's enthusiasm and focus. We tap into the stories of sports icons like Travis Kelce and the Golden State Warriors to uncover the complexities of balancing personal life and professional achievements. This episode sheds light on the hidden challenges faced by those at the top, offering insights into how they can maintain peak performance amidst external distractions and high-profile relationships.
Ever wondered what keeps champions motivated after they've reached the pinnacle? We discuss how mentorship and relentless work ethic play crucial roles in reigniting the competitive spirit. Drawing inspiration from legends like Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather, and Steph Curry, we delve into the benefits of returning to the basics and learning from those who have mastered their craft. The stories of rising stars such as Jalen Hurts and CJ Stroud underscore the immeasurable value of guidance from seasoned professionals, often outweighing the thrill of winning itself.
Preparation is key, and history has shown that chance favors the well-prepared. This idea is brought to life through the career of Tom Brady and the anticipation around emerging talent like Cam Ward. We dive into the drama of sports fandom, addressing frustrations with perceived biases in accolades and the pressures faced by athletes to prove themselves continuously. With a focus on the legacy of sports icons like Carmelo Anthony and Tom Brady, this episode is a heartfelt exploration of how preparation, discipline, and the relentless pursuit of excellence shape enduring legacies in the world of sports.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's you versus you.
A lot of people get confused onthat.
That's why you can't really payattention to who you're
competing with, becausesometimes God may give you a
gift where, if you get toocaught up competing with other
people, yeah, you'll go down asa legend, but you don't maximize
your legend.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
If you actually took time to learn about how
incredible you were, nothingwould ever stop you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
This isn't the Kelsey I'm used to Like.
Something just looks.
It don't look like the angerand the fire is there.
It almost looked like to me.
It looked like the Golden StateWarriors when they had Kevin
Durant there last year and theylost to the Raptors.
Golden State just looked likethey was this team that was so
(00:50):
good for so long and they'vebeen winning so long.
Their off seasons are shorterthan everyone because they're
playing the last game, all ofthese things.
It just looked like they weretired.
We're like the fatigue ofwinning setting it.
So I feel like for Travis Imean Travis, kelsey the fatigue
of winning setting it.
So I feel like for travis, Imean kelsey, the fatigue of
winning.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Looked like it said anything and that's a quotable,
that's, you got to write thatdown.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The fatigue of winning remind me, I put in.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Let me put in my notes, that's but then those
other people who say like to goall the way back to where we
started with that quote, withthat text message the fatigue of
watching winners.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah it's the fatigue .
So it's fatigue both ways.
Right Gets fatigued fromwatching winners, and then you
have some winners that getfatigued from doing it.
So long I've never had thefatigue of winning.
But I understand from when Iused to train to basketball.
I'm out in Florida with CoachTroy and to wake up every
(02:00):
morning knowing I had to gothrough this pain.
But I knew I was like man, thisis how you do this, this is how
you do that.
So now imagine somebody who'sbeen doing it for so long.
That's when they say thisphrase right here just ain't in
me, no more.
When they say that that's whatthat means traditionally.
It is a fatigue of winning,like you're tired of the grind,
(02:22):
you just want to kind of relax.
He has Paris Hilton now.
That's going to open up I'm notParis Hilton.
Taylor Swift, taylor Swift,that's going to open up all
types of different it alreadyhas.
So before you didn't have any ofthat, you probably just focused
on football.
You played football.
Your brother was in the NFL atthe same time, so it was just
(02:43):
football.
Now you would have I don't evenknow what.
Do you call her megastar world?
You know, pop star, whateveryou would, that's a whole
different category.
That's the big one.
Yeah, that's being a hip likehip-hop.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Ain't pop like pop is a different dynamic you talking
about right she people, Rightshe's a billionaire.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, so you're dealing with that.
Now You're going to dinners youdidn't go to before.
You're going to red carpet, allof these different things where
you probably would have been inthe gym.
So now you're trying to jugglethat and your face is more out
there than it was before.
You're trying to juggle allthat and then it's not like
you're 21.
(03:27):
You already haven't played inthe league a long time.
You've got your league money.
She has a good amount of money.
It isn't like he's pressing tocontinue to play.
So when all that happens, thefatigue of winning sometimes
people just it's like man, Idon't want to do this, no more.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I don't know if I can do this anymore.
I remember listening to DanaWhite talk about Conor McGregor
after the Mayweather fight andhe made whatever amount of money
right and he's like it's reallyhard to train when you're
getting out of silk sheets yeah,yeah, you ever watch Creed, I
(04:08):
don't how many, I don't knowwhat creed.
They're on now.
I think they're on like creed.
You know it's funny, I've neverseen any of the creeds okay so
watch them.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I think this was creed too.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, I watched it big right, or something like
that.
Huh like he made it big and hemade all this money.
And is that the one withJonathan Major?
Nah, it's the one before that.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's the one before that.
So I was watching it on a planebecause Inky was talking about
it.
Inky John shout out to Inky.
He was talking about it and hehad took something from the
movie.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So this is the first time I'm watching.
I'm watching it on a plane.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I can't remember where I was going, but I saw
something different that waspowerful.
So when he got Rocky back inhis corner to train him for this
fight, by this time I thinkhe's in LA, he's at like a nice
gym in LA, and so he had WoodHarris was the other trainer.
(05:01):
So they were going to, you know, train him together.
And so he was like, essentially, when does training camp start?
And just like, oh, we're goingto go here, we're going to go
here.
And, paraphrasing Rock Dessentially said what you said.
But just like, oh, no, we gotto get you uncomfortable again.
That's what he said.
(05:22):
So he was training him in.
Like it was weird, it was likea boxing ring in the middle of
the desert with like a bunch ofstreet fighter dudes, and the
moment broke him.
But it prepared him for thefight because you got these
people you about to spar against, who don't care anything about
any of this stuff they, they'renot doing this, getting paid
millions.
So when he was out there, hewas getting beat up at first,
(05:42):
where he had to get that dogback, that hunger back.
So it's the same kind of thingyou're talking about.
So if anybody go watch Creed,whichever one it is.
Again you'll see the scene thatI'm talking about and the
knowledge I'm talking about.
He literally told him, like wesaid on the last one, got to get
back to the basics becauseyou're so used to doing it here.
It's hard, you're not as hungryanymore.
(06:06):
You probably gonna stay in thegym as long you.
You're not gonna be as focusedbecause you know you're going
back to silk sheets, you'regoing back to a top chef, you're
going back to all thesedifferent things.
It's only one person that Iknow well, probably more than
one, but one person I know ofthat could do that, and that was
floyd mayweather.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Floyd mayweather yes, and that's so.
You actually just jumped intomy head.
By the way, rocky 3 with Apollois when he talks about.
You lost Eye of the Tiger, andso I think Creed played on it,
but that's what makes peoplelike Ronaldo Messi.
Mayweather you know, kobe, mjLeBron, the fact, curry Durant,
(06:52):
the fact.
I mean you have to realize whatthese guys are sitting on and
to have the will, like you know,let's say, 70 years from now 70
years from now there's ahandful of names that are going
to be talked about, handful ofnames.
The fact that these guys canhave already done what they've
(07:16):
done and still maintain thatthing like they have nothing.
Like LeBron's doing this stuffat 40 years old, I mean it's
crazy.
He's a billionaire.
He's the way he's playing at 40years old, I mean he could.
(07:38):
I mean you know, it's just I'mamazed, man, by people like this
, because, you know, sometimes aperson gets to one of the
toughest things that I one ofthe toughest things, man, is
when people like get like alittle bit of success and you
just can't tell them anything.
And then you have people thathave literally achieved icon
status and they still talk aboutwhat Steph Curry's workouts are
(08:01):
like at the gym and how crazyhe goes.
And to be that unicorn and toplay with that unicorn, like to
play with that Tom Brady, that'sa special.
I think that's more important.
I think playing with thosepeople is more important if you
(08:23):
learn from them what you shouldlearn.
In some ways it's moreimportant than a championship.
I know that you can get achampionship, I know there are
people who land on amazing teamsand get a championship, but in
whatever field you're in, if youhave the ability to play with
an icon.
That's why, when Akobe passed asearly as that, he was like that
(08:49):
next icon that was going to goand mentor the.
You know what I mean, like thatwhole situation.
I think that was one of thethings that made that
conversation so difficult,because you think about all the
things that could have beengained from the insane amount of
wisdom that he had.
You know, you talk about givingyour people their flowers now,
and I think we're so critical ofthese people sometimes we just
(09:13):
don't stop and just give themtheir flowers.
Yeah, that's why I give JalenHurst his flowers.
He's a good quarterback.
Yeah, okay, so he had a reallygood season.
Yeah, do you think it'spremature to give him his
flowers?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Nah, he's a winner.
It's not premature, he's awinner.
He's a winner.
You got to give him notpremature, he's a winner.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
He's a winner.
You gotta give him his spot.
He's a winner.
So CJ Stroud had an incrediblefirst year.
You give him his flowers forthat.
Okay, Second year a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You can give him his flowers.
He had one of the best rookieseasons of all time, but Jalen
Hurts is a champion, so you haveto address him as such.
He's a champion.
Okay, you.
So you have to address him assuch.
He's a champion.
Okay, you got to address him asa champion.
You got to address him as achampion.
He's a champion.
He's a championship quarterback, he is.
He is a champion, he is achampion.
He is a champion, he's afootball MVP.
(10:05):
Yeah, oh, you said somethingtoo.
It hit me.
You was talking about and thisis kind of switching back to
basketball you were talkingabout Kobe.
Yeah, Do you know?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Kobe taught LeBron how to win From the Redeem team.
I remember there's that, yeah,because he was out hanging out
or something like that and KobeKobe taught him how to win.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Kobe taught LeBron how to go from a great player
who can win games to that.
What they Pat the Rock used tosay like outwork, where you go
to this whole different level,which is the irony in it is that
(10:50):
the difference between thatnext, next level is so small,
but it's a consistent thing.
It's like doing somethingconsistently that's small, just
repetitive, and then you getyour compound interest.
So in the redeem team, what wasso crazy about that is when
(11:13):
they was coming back into thehotel.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They seen Kobe gonna work out.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
They didn't know what this was mind you.
Before this, they had lost inthe old fall Olympics, but the
young dudes didn't play thatmuch, and then they had lost in
the FIBAs, right.
And so here they are, they'regoing out.
They just I think they justcame back in from partying Kobe.
They see Kobe in like his wholeworkout or something.
Where you going?
Oh, he's about to go to the gym, he's about to work out.
(11:37):
They haven't saw that before.
So what he did was he taughtthem.
This is how you become what.
You see me and the only personwho didn't go to work out was
Carmelo Anthony.
He was like man, that's tooearly for me Now I'm going to
paint this picture for you.
If you look at the other threepeople that went.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
LeBron D-Wade.
And who?
Chris Bosh?
Bosh, I think it was Bosh.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
LeBron four rings.
D-wade three rings.
Bosh two rings.
Melo has no ring, so it's thesmallest thing Like Carmelo,
even though it was videos backwhen he was working out.
When he was Denver, carmelo waslike man, I'm only in the gym
an hour a day, pretty muchsaying like you don't need to be
(12:25):
in the gym longer than that.
Right, and no offense toCarmelo, but that's why you
didn't get a ring.
That's what you were all timegreat because God gave you the
talent and you did work on yourtalent.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
But if you would have had that extra, the extra, you
will know You're one of the bestin the world.
But that next level is youversus you?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, a lot of people get confused on that.
That's why you can't really payattention to who you're
competing with, becausesometimes God may give you a
gift where, if you get toocaught up competing with other
people, yeah, you'll go down asa legend, but you don't maximize
your legend.
I liken it to you ever seenTroy, the movie Troy?
(13:19):
Yeah, okay, do you rememberwhat Achilles' mom told?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
him no, uh-uh, remind me.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So, essentially, achilles didn't want to go to
the war.
He didn't want to go.
But his mom pretty much toldhim like hey, if you don't want
to go to the war, he didn't wantto go, but his mom pretty much
told him, like hey, if you don'tgo to war, your name will ring
back for a couple generations,right?
And so in that moment if weparallel this here in that
moment he doesn't go to war, hisdestiny of what it could have
(13:52):
been never gets captured.
We wouldn't even know of thename Achilles.
I don't know if it's true ornot, but we wouldn't even know
of Achilles.
He would have probably been agood dude in the community or
whatever.
People would have known himAbout four generations later.
They probably would have saidwho's my great-great-granddad,
or whatever.
They wouldn't know him.
But if you go over there, yourdestiny is set and you reach
(14:19):
your legend.
You're not competing againstnobody.
You're competing against yourlegend, you're competing against
your gift, you're competingagainst your story, you're
competing against what Godordained you to do.
If you go compete against that,then the sky's the limit.
So I feel like bringing it backto Carmelo.
Carmelo had more in the tank,in my opinion, because he was
that nice.
Yeah, he was unbelievable.
(14:39):
He was that good.
Carmelo was that good.
When he was in New York, carmeloreally wasn't even in shape
like that, yeah.
So just imagine, we never seenLeBron out of shape.
The most we seen LeBron waswhen he got too strong and it
started to hurt his back so hehad to come down and wait.
We've never seen Kobe out ofshape, Right.
We've never seen Jordan out ofshape.
(15:00):
Melo was out of shape.
Luka Doncic right now is out ofshape.
That's why Luka Doncic isn't inDallas anymore, because even
though, as the fans, we'relooking at how great Luka is,
how great of a player Luka is,which he's all world yeah, luka,
you all world but you'reprobably looking too much to
your left and right.
Do you know what you could beif you took this thing serious,
(15:26):
if you stopped drinking beersafter the game, if you really
tapped in and focused?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Like they say I'm not this.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I don't know if it's true, but they say Luka is one
of those players who play to getin shape, come in out of shape
and you play once you startplaying.
What would it be like if youcame into the season in shape,
you got to the finals and youain't even really tapped in to
who you could be yet?
You know what I mean.
So that's another person.
If Luka Luka could either go toCarmelo route no offense to
(15:54):
Melo, he still had a hell of acareer in Hall of Fame, but he
could either go to Carmelo routeor you could go Bron Kobe
Jordan route.
It's your choice.
Either way, you're going to bea legend.
But you'll know, at the end ofthe day I didn't leave nothing
on the table You'll feel alittle bit different.
You'll feel a little bitdifferent.
(16:16):
You'll be received a little bitdifferent Like LeBron when he
done with this basketball thing,and Carmelo's already done with
this basketball thing.
They're not.
It's not the same.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
There's a man named Jim Rome.
You know Jim Rome and you knowyou like him.
Anyway, you have to watch out,that is right you have to live
within.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
If it's not in, then it won't come out you have to
listen up.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
You're a rosy master, you know you love them.
He says your life will eitherbe an example or a cautionary
tale.
And that's so deep becausethat's exactly what you just
described.
Let's say, you were my agentand you said to me look, you
(17:13):
made, congratulations, you madeit to the NBA.
Look, you made, congratulations, you made it to the NBA.
Yeah, welcome to the table.
So now here's the thing.
I just want to just hip you tothis right Based on what you do
with these decisions and yourwork ethic, you're either going
to have a Carmelo legacy or aKobe LeBron legacy.
(17:36):
That's a powerful question.
Now, and look, if Carmelo eversees this, you know like he'd be
, like what?
But you can't argue withanything.
You just said you can't arguewith anything.
You just said argue withanything.
You just said you can't arguewith anything.
You just said.
And I think deep inside of himthere is that question mark of
(17:58):
man what if I would have?
But that time that clock keptmoving.
And now you gotta do what yougotta do, and I think that's
everybody I mean, we talk aboutCarmelo man, but you just gave
me perspective on justeverything, because the compound
of the additional work works inyour favor and the compound of
(18:21):
the lack of work also has itsoutcome, because either way,
three to five years is cominganyway.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, remember One of my favorite quotes saying this
and um, well, I'm not gonna saywell, it's just one.
I remember um shout out toninth wonder.
So at um, north carolinacentral, they used to do
something this before I got tocollege and coach uh, lavelle
moten used to bring, I guess,speakers and he bought ninth
(18:54):
wonder and it's a video onYouTube and he said this quote.
Can't remember the author, buthe was like chance favors the
well-prepared.
So if you think about that justfrom a legacy standpoint,
there's no guarantee that LeBronwould be who he is.
There's no guarantee that KobeJordan or whoever would be who
(19:15):
they are, but Chance favors thewell-prepared.
And if you look to LeBron, he'swell-prepared, he gives himself
every opportunity to be what weknow him to be, and so I think
people should take that in LikeChance really favors the
well-prepared.
You can't necessarily controlthe outcome as much as people
(19:37):
say you can.
You really can't, but chancesare.
If you do the work, if you dothe things, it's either going to
go your way, because it wasmeant to go your way, but it's
going to go.
Let me, let me, let me pause it.
It's going to go your way andthen, based upon the work you're
going to hit this other level.
Or if it really wasn't meantfor you, there will be lessons
(20:01):
extracted from it and you'll beable to take that to something
else, and then it kind ofrestarts and then Chance Favors
the World Prepared.
If you're doing the correctingthere, so it's one of the two.
So if Chance Favors the WorldPrepared, you might as well be
prepared Either way it goesbecause it's going to work.
Either it's going to workbecause you're where you're
supposed to be or you're notwhere you're supposed to be, and
(20:24):
there's going to be somelessons that you get for where
you're supposed to be.
So either way, transphobia.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
There's this mathematical equation, well
theorem, called Prisoner'sDilemma, and it says two people
are arrested and you're bothtaken in separate rooms and the
question is should you cooperateor not cooperate with the
police during the interrogation?
(20:51):
And it's like the answer isyou're supposed to always
cooperate 100% of the time,because if you don't cooperate
and the other person cooperates,you're screwed, so you always
cooperate.
If you don't cooperate and theother person cooperates, you're
screwed, so you always cooperate.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I don't know where this is going, but hey, james,
I'm just saying that's a theorem.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So what you're talking about with chance favors
and well-prepared is like, nomatter what, you have to be
prepared.
Like you may never get in thegame or there is one, whatever
the game is business, sports,whatever but it is also possible
(21:40):
that the people ahead of youcould get hurt.
You have to remember, like,look at what Tom Brady did with
his, his opportunity.
You remember Started quiet.
Qb got hurt.
He was ready, there was andthat that was it.
Never look, never look back,never look back.
And what you chance favors?
The world prepared, that's aword.
(22:00):
That is a word right there,because in any industry in the
world that isprepared, that's aword.
That is a word right there,because in any industry in the
world, that is a word.
There's nowhere in your lifewhere that's not a powerful
statement.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I think the entire quote is chance favors the
well-prepared mind.
Hmm, I think that's the entirequote Chance favors the
well-prepared mind.
You know, most people take aword off of a quote, but it's
still, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
That was the message for the night Chance favors the
well-prepared, Chance favors thewell-prepared.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
So be prepared.
I'm prepared for when Cam Wardget drafted.
You know, number one getdrafted.
Number one my nephew.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
We're going to be so excited to see the family photos
.
That's my nephew.
We're going to be so excited tosee the family photos.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
That's my nephew.
When I was in Miami I seen,matter of fact, my sister, tamir
, seen him in Miami.
Then, when I went out there andthey played, I went to the
Virginia Tech game.
People don't know.
That game happened on mybirthday.
It was crazy.
It was crazy.
That's the game.
Remember they caught thetouchdown at the end but they
said it was no touchdown.
That was the game.
Remember they caught thetouchdown at the end but they
said it was no touchdown.
(23:06):
Yeah, yeah, I was there in theflesh, james.
It was crazy.
You know I'm real superstitious.
Marquise had to go sit overthere.
I don't know what was going on.
He had to sit a row down, sit arow over.
Don't look this way too much,brother.
I don't know what's going onwith your energy right now.
So I, virginia Tech fans theyover here talking oh yeah, yeah,
y'all about to kill us, y'allabout to do this and that Y'all
about to beat us.
Bad, cam Ward fumbled the firsttime.
(23:28):
I was like all right.
Then we took the lead and wewas about to put it on them and
they called a penalty on us andCam Ward threw the pick.
I'm in there stressing I'm likeall right, we're't think you
understand when that last playhappened.
Dude from Miami or Zay Hall,come out with the ball, the
(23:48):
crowd going crazy.
Next thing you know the wholeMiami team running on the field
to celebrate it.
Next thing you know the wholeVirginia Tech team running on
the field to celebrate it.
Everybody like this.
What's going on?
Do you know?
When they went to the boothreview I'm so used to them doing
Miami dirty I'm like man, thesedudes done lost on my birthday
(24:10):
I was like I know this is goingon, I know this.
I flew out here in a hurricaneand this is how y'all going to
do me.
I said this is crazy.
I was so nervous, james, Ididn't even you know how people
would take their camera out andrecord for the moment.
You think I recorded the moment.
I recorded after the moment.
Once they said no touchdown.
(24:30):
Then I pulled my camera out.
It was oh.
I was like man, I'm about toget me on camera looking sad.
But I seen my nephew.
He went crazy.
That's my nephew, cam Ward, andthey robbed him.
On the Heisman Award too, theyrobbed him.
I know they gave it to TravisHunter.
I don't care about that.
They robbed Cam Ward.
(24:51):
They saw what Cam Ward did theentire year against each and
every team that stood his way.
A couple games wasn't too goodGeorgia Tech, eh, and then I
think it was maybe the only onethat he just was like, ah, but
outside of that, they didn'twant to give Cam Ward the award
the whole season.
They didn't want to give it tohim.
(25:11):
It don't matter what he did.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
He was never even really in any major media
conversations.
I mean, he was, but it alwaysgoes back to.
Travis.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Every game he played, like.
So when we came back fromVirginia Tech, people thought,
oh, this was his Heisman moment.
Then when we came back from Cal, oh, that was his Heisman
moment.
Then I think we had another.
Then we played Georgia Tech.
Oh, louisville, this is hisHeisman moment.
Then we played Georgia Tech.
I remember before that drivewhere he f the announcer's like,
(25:41):
oh yeah, if Cam Ward wants towin the Heisman, this is his
moment.
I was like I be the only personthat gotta have a moment every
game.
Everybody else get one, twomoments, one moment.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
He gotta prove himself.
Isn't that crazy?
That game goes back all the wayback to what we said before.
It's all subjective, but he wasnot getting the Heisman.
He was not getting the Heisman.
He was not getting the Heisman,he was not getting the Heisman.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
He was not getting it .
It was nothing he could.
He had to go.
Miami had to go undefeated,Undefeated, which is crazy,
because the Heisman doesn'tnecessarily have to go to the
undefeated, which is crazy.
He had to go undefeated and heliterally had to play flawless
Travis Hunter was doing, whichis crazy.
He had to go undefeated and heliterally had to play flawless.
Correct, Travis Hunter wasdoing this and they was losing
(26:28):
games.
Right, he scored two touchdowns, did this?
They down 21.
Come on, Come on.
Miami lost two games on theseason.
Well, I'm going to call it aregular season.
Play that Pop Toss Bowl.
Cam Warden plays a second halfIn a regular season.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I think Miami lost by a total two games by a total of
like eight or nine points, but,like you said, it's two
takeaways.
Well, there's a bunch oftakeaways, but on the biggest
things, everything's subjective.
That's true, there's a bunch oftakeaways, but on the biggest
things, everything's subjective.
That's true.
(27:08):
That's a big takeaway, that'strue.
And regardless Heisman or noHeisman, you know Chance Favre's
well prepared.
Yeah, he prepared for thisdraft.
I mean, he did everything hewas supposed to do the moment
happened.
He did everything he wassupposed to do the moment
happened.
He didn't get it.
But you never know what thenext opportunity is going to be,
(27:31):
bigger than all that.
Yeah, yeah, nfl, I might get a.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Ken Ward jersey and he's not even coming to the
commandant I probably will neverwear it.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Yeah, but being that you're family, you should.
Yeah, it's my nephew.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I got to show my nephew some love.
You got to support him.
Yeah, if you go to the Miamipost on Instagram, I'm always
under nephew.
I see you, man, you're doingyour thing.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
My nephew man.
He's going to.
You'll get some tickets orsomething.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, for sure.
You know we throw up the canes,you know how we do them.
And look if y'all looking forme, august 31st, Miami versus
Notre Dame in Miami, hard RockStadium, chances of me being
there.
Chance favor to well-prepared.
I'm going to be well-preparedto be there.
So if you want to go, you don'tgot to let me know, just go to
(28:22):
Miami, I'm going to be there,you know.
Hall Rock, august 31st we playNotre Dame.
They just lost the nationalchampionship, but they coming to
Miami and my boys they workingright now in the offseason.
I'm looking at the videos.
I'll be giving themmotivational quotes under the
page and they'll be retweetingit because they know, you know,
be proud of them.
So my nephews, they doing theirthing.
(28:43):
So you know it's always goCanes too, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You actually took time to learn about how
incredible you were.
Nothing would ever stop, youSee.
The definition of sight is thefaculty or power of seeing.
It's you versus you.
A lot of people get confused onthat.
That's why you can't really payattention to who you're
competing with, becausesometimes God may give you a
gift where, if you get toocaught up competing with other
people, yeah, you'll go down asa legend, but you don't maximize
your legend.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
If you actually took time to learn about how
incredible you were, nothingwould ever stop you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
This isn't the Kelsey I'm used to Like.
Something just looks.
It don't look like the angerand the fire is there.
It almost looked like to me.
It looked like the Golden StateWarriors when they had Kevin
Durant there last year and theylost to the Raptors.
Golden State just looked likethey was this team that was so
(00:50):
good for so long and they'vebeen winning so long.
Their off seasons are shorterthan everyone because they're
playing the last game, all ofthese things.
It just looked like they weretired.
We're like the fatigue ofwinning setting it.
So I feel like for Travis Imean Travis, kelsey the fatigue
of winning setting it.
So I feel like for travis, Imean kelsey, the fatigue of
winning.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Looked like it said anything and that's a quotable,
that's, you got to write thatdown.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The fatigue of winning remind me, I put in.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Let me put in my notes, that's but then those
other people who say like to goall the way back to where we
started with that quote, withthat text message the fatigue of
watching winners.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah it's the fatigue .
So it's fatigue both ways.
Right Gets fatigued fromwatching winners, and then you
have some winners that getfatigued from doing it.
So long I've never had thefatigue of winning.
But I understand from when Iused to train to basketball.
I'm out in Florida with CoachTroy and to wake up every
(02:00):
morning knowing I had to gothrough this pain.
But I knew I was like man, thisis how you do this, this is how
you do that.
So now imagine somebody who'sbeen doing it for so long.
That's when they say thisphrase right here just ain't in
me, no more.
When they say that that's whatthat means traditionally.
It is a fatigue of winning,like you're tired of the grind,
(02:22):
you just want to kind of relax.
He has Paris Hilton now.
That's going to open up I'm notParis Hilton.
Taylor Swift, taylor Swift,that's going to open up all
types of different it alreadyhas.
So before you didn't have any ofthat, you probably just focused
on football.
You played football.
Your brother was in the NFL atthe same time, so it was just
(02:43):
football.
Now you would have I don't evenknow what.
Do you call her megastar world?
You know, pop star, whateveryou would, that's a whole
different category.
That's the big one.
Yeah, that's being a hip likehip-hop.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Ain't pop like pop is a different dynamic you talking
about right she people, Rightshe's a billionaire.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, so you're dealing with that.
Now You're going to dinners youdidn't go to before.
You're going to red carpet, allof these different things where
you probably would have been inthe gym.
So now you're trying to jugglethat and your face is more out
there than it was before.
You're trying to juggle allthat and then it's not like
you're 21.
(03:27):
You already haven't played inthe league a long time.
You've got your league money.
She has a good amount of money.
It isn't like he's pressing tocontinue to play.
So when all that happens, thefatigue of winning sometimes
people just it's like man, Idon't want to do this, no more.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I don't know if I can do this anymore.
I remember listening to DanaWhite talk about Conor McGregor
after the Mayweather fight andhe made whatever amount of money
right and he's like it's reallyhard to train when you're
getting out of silk sheets yeah,yeah, you ever watch Creed, I
(04:08):
don't how many, I don't knowwhat creed.
They're on now.
I think they're on like creed.
You know it's funny, I've neverseen any of the creeds okay so
watch them.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I think this was creed too.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, I watched it big right, or something like
that.
Huh like he made it big and hemade all this money.
And is that the one withJonathan Major?
Nah, it's the one before that.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's the one before that.
So I was watching it on a planebecause Inky was talking about
it.
Inky John shout out to Inky.
He was talking about it and hehad took something from the
movie.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So this is the first time I'm watching.
I'm watching it on a plane.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I can't remember where I was going, but I saw
something different that waspowerful.
So when he got Rocky back inhis corner to train him for this
fight, by this time I thinkhe's in LA, he's at like a nice
gym in LA, and so he had WoodHarris was the other trainer.
(05:01):
So they were going to, you know, train him together.
And so he was like, essentially, when does training camp start?
And just like, oh, we're goingto go here, we're going to go
here.
And, paraphrasing Rock Dessentially said what you said.
But just like, oh, no, we gotto get you uncomfortable again.
That's what he said.
(05:22):
So he was training him in.
Like it was weird, it was likea boxing ring in the middle of
the desert with like a bunch ofstreet fighter dudes, and the
moment broke him.
But it prepared him for thefight because you got these
people you about to spar against, who don't care anything about
any of this stuff they, they'renot doing this, getting paid
millions.
So when he was out there, hewas getting beat up at first,
(05:42):
where he had to get that dogback, that hunger back.
So it's the same kind of thingyou're talking about.
So if anybody go watch Creed,whichever one it is.
Again you'll see the scene thatI'm talking about and the
knowledge I'm talking about.
He literally told him, like wesaid on the last one, got to get
back to the basics becauseyou're so used to doing it here.
It's hard, you're not as hungryanymore.
(06:06):
You probably gonna stay in thegym as long you.
You're not gonna be as focusedbecause you know you're going
back to silk sheets, you'regoing back to a top chef, you're
going back to all thesedifferent things.
It's only one person that Iknow well, probably more than
one, but one person I know ofthat could do that, and that was
floyd mayweather.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Floyd mayweather yes, and that's so.
You actually just jumped intomy head.
By the way, rocky 3 with Apollois when he talks about.
You lost Eye of the Tiger, andso I think Creed played on it,
but that's what makes peoplelike Ronaldo Messi.
Mayweather you know, kobe, mjLeBron, the fact, curry Durant,
(06:52):
the fact.
I mean you have to realize whatthese guys are sitting on and
to have the will, like you know,let's say, 70 years from now 70
years from now there's ahandful of names that are going
to be talked about, handful ofnames.
The fact that these guys canhave already done what they've
(07:16):
done and still maintain thatthing like they have nothing.
Like LeBron's doing this stuffat 40 years old, I mean it's
crazy.
He's a billionaire.
He's the way he's playing at 40years old, I mean he could.
(07:38):
I mean you know, it's just I'mamazed, man, by people like this
, because, you know, sometimes aperson gets to one of the
toughest things that I one ofthe toughest things, man, is
when people like get like alittle bit of success and you
just can't tell them anything.
And then you have people thathave literally achieved icon
status and they still talk aboutwhat Steph Curry's workouts are
(08:01):
like at the gym and how crazyhe goes.
And to be that unicorn and toplay with that unicorn, like to
play with that Tom Brady, that'sa special.
I think that's more important.
I think playing with thosepeople is more important if you
(08:23):
learn from them what you shouldlearn.
In some ways it's moreimportant than a championship.
I know that you can get achampionship, I know there are
people who land on amazing teamsand get a championship, but in
whatever field you're in, if youhave the ability to play with
an icon.
That's why, when Akobe passed asearly as that, he was like that
(08:49):
next icon that was going to goand mentor the.
You know what I mean, like thatwhole situation.
I think that was one of thethings that made that
conversation so difficult,because you think about all the
things that could have beengained from the insane amount of
wisdom that he had.
You know, you talk about givingyour people their flowers now,
and I think we're so critical ofthese people sometimes we just
(09:13):
don't stop and just give themtheir flowers.
Yeah, that's why I give JalenHurst his flowers.
He's a good quarterback.
Yeah, okay, so he had a reallygood season.
Yeah, do you think it'spremature to give him his
flowers?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Nah, he's a winner.
It's not premature, he's awinner.
He's a winner.
You got to give him notpremature, he's a winner.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
He's a winner.
You gotta give him his spot.
He's a winner.
So CJ Stroud had an incrediblefirst year.
You give him his flowers forthat.
Okay, Second year a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You can give him his flowers.
He had one of the best rookieseasons of all time, but Jalen
Hurts is a champion, so you haveto address him as such.
He's a champion.
Okay, you.
So you have to address him assuch.
He's a champion.
Okay, you got to address him asa champion.
You got to address him as achampion.
He's a champion.
He's a championship quarterback, he is.
He is a champion, he is achampion.
He is a champion, he's afootball MVP.
(10:05):
Yeah, oh, you said somethingtoo.
It hit me.
You was talking about and thisis kind of switching back to
basketball you were talkingabout Kobe.
Yeah, Do you know?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Kobe taught LeBron how to win From the Redeem team.
I remember there's that, yeah,because he was out hanging out
or something like that and KobeKobe taught him how to win.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Kobe taught LeBron how to go from a great player
who can win games to that.
What they Pat the Rock used tosay like outwork, where you go
to this whole different level,which is the irony in it is that
(10:50):
the difference between thatnext, next level is so small,
but it's a consistent thing.
It's like doing somethingconsistently that's small, just
repetitive, and then you getyour compound interest.
So in the redeem team, what wasso crazy about that is when
(11:13):
they was coming back into thehotel.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They seen Kobe gonna work out.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
They didn't know what this was mind you.
Before this, they had lost inthe old fall Olympics, but the
young dudes didn't play thatmuch, and then they had lost in
the FIBAs, right.
And so here they are, they'regoing out.
They just I think they justcame back in from partying Kobe.
They see Kobe in like his wholeworkout or something.
Where you going?
Oh, he's about to go to the gym, he's about to work out.
(11:37):
They haven't saw that before.
So what he did was he taughtthem.
This is how you become what.
You see me and the only personwho didn't go to work out was
Carmelo Anthony.
He was like man, that's tooearly for me Now I'm going to
paint this picture for you.
If you look at the other threepeople that went.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
LeBron D-Wade.
And who?
Chris Bosh?
Bosh, I think it was Bosh.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
LeBron four rings.
D-wade three rings.
Bosh two rings.
Melo has no ring, so it's thesmallest thing Like Carmelo,
even though it was videos backwhen he was working out.
When he was Denver, carmelo waslike man, I'm only in the gym
an hour a day, pretty muchsaying like you don't need to be
(12:25):
in the gym longer than that.
Right, and no offense toCarmelo, but that's why you
didn't get a ring.
That's what you were all timegreat because God gave you the
talent and you did work on yourtalent.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
But if you would have had that extra, the extra, you
will know You're one of the bestin the world.
But that next level is youversus you?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, a lot of people get confused on that.
That's why you can't really payattention to who you're
competing with, becausesometimes God may give you a
gift where, if you get toocaught up competing with other
people, yeah, you'll go down asa legend, but you don't maximize
your legend.
I liken it to you ever seenTroy, the movie Troy?
(13:19):
Yeah, okay, do you rememberwhat Achilles' mom told?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
him no, uh-uh, remind me.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So, essentially, achilles didn't want to go to
the war.
He didn't want to go.
But his mom pretty much toldhim like hey, if you don't want
to go to the war, he didn't wantto go, but his mom pretty much
told him, like hey, if you don'tgo to war, your name will ring
back for a couple generations,right?
And so in that moment if weparallel this here in that
moment he doesn't go to war, hisdestiny of what it could have
(13:52):
been never gets captured.
We wouldn't even know of thename Achilles.
I don't know if it's true ornot, but we wouldn't even know
of Achilles.
He would have probably been agood dude in the community or
whatever.
People would have known himAbout four generations later.
They probably would have saidwho's my great-great-granddad,
or whatever.
They wouldn't know him.
But if you go over there, yourdestiny is set and you reach
(14:19):
your legend.
You're not competing againstnobody.
You're competing against yourlegend, you're competing against
your gift, you're competingagainst your story, you're
competing against what Godordained you to do.
If you go compete against that,then the sky's the limit.
So I feel like bringing it backto Carmelo.
Carmelo had more in the tank,in my opinion, because he was
that nice.
Yeah, he was unbelievable.
(14:39):
He was that good.
Carmelo was that good.
When he was in New York, carmeloreally wasn't even in shape
like that, yeah.
So just imagine, we never seenLeBron out of shape.
The most we seen LeBron waswhen he got too strong and it
started to hurt his back so hehad to come down and wait.
We've never seen Kobe out ofshape, Right.
We've never seen Jordan out ofshape.
(15:00):
Melo was out of shape.
Luka Doncic right now is out ofshape.
That's why Luka Doncic isn't inDallas anymore, because even
though, as the fans, we'relooking at how great Luka is,
how great of a player Luka is,which he's all world yeah, luka,
you all world but you'reprobably looking too much to
your left and right.
Do you know what you could beif you took this thing serious,
(15:26):
if you stopped drinking beersafter the game, if you really
tapped in and focused?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Like they say I'm not this.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I don't know if it's true, but they say Luka is one
of those players who play to getin shape, come in out of shape
and you play once you startplaying.
What would it be like if youcame into the season in shape,
you got to the finals and youain't even really tapped in to
who you could be yet?
You know what I mean.
So that's another person.
If Luka Luka could either go toCarmelo route no offense to
(15:54):
Melo, he still had a hell of acareer in Hall of Fame, but he
could either go to Carmelo routeor you could go Bron Kobe
Jordan route.
It's your choice.
Either way, you're going to bea legend.
But you'll know, at the end ofthe day I didn't leave nothing
on the table You'll feel alittle bit different.
You'll feel a little bitdifferent.
(16:16):
You'll be received a little bitdifferent Like LeBron when he
done with this basketball thing,and Carmelo's already done with
this basketball thing.
They're not.
It's not the same.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
There's a man named Jim Rome.
You know Jim Rome and you knowyou like him.
Anyway, you have to watch out,that is right you have to live
within.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
If it's not in, then it won't come out you have to
listen up.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
You're a rosy master, you know you love them.
He says your life will eitherbe an example or a cautionary
tale.
And that's so deep becausethat's exactly what you just
described.
Let's say, you were my agentand you said to me look, you
(17:13):
made, congratulations, you madeit to the NBA.
Look, you made, congratulations, you made it to the NBA.
Yeah, welcome to the table.
So now here's the thing.
I just want to just hip you tothis right Based on what you do
with these decisions and yourwork ethic, you're either going
to have a Carmelo legacy or aKobe LeBron legacy.
(17:36):
That's a powerful question.
Now, and look, if Carmelo eversees this, you know like he'd be
, like what?
But you can't argue withanything.
You just said you can't arguewith anything.
You just said argue withanything.
You just said you can't arguewith anything.
You just said.
And I think deep inside of himthere is that question mark of
(17:58):
man what if I would have?
But that time that clock keptmoving.
And now you gotta do what yougotta do, and I think that's
everybody I mean, we talk aboutCarmelo man, but you just gave
me perspective on justeverything, because the compound
of the additional work works inyour favor and the compound of
(18:21):
the lack of work also has itsoutcome, because either way,
three to five years is cominganyway.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, remember One of my favorite quotes saying this
and um, well, I'm not gonna saywell, it's just one.
I remember um shout out toninth wonder.
So at um, north carolinacentral, they used to do
something this before I got tocollege and coach uh, lavelle
moten used to bring, I guess,speakers and he bought ninth
(18:54):
wonder and it's a video onYouTube and he said this quote.
Can't remember the author, buthe was like chance favors the
well-prepared.
So if you think about that justfrom a legacy standpoint,
there's no guarantee that LeBronwould be who he is.
There's no guarantee that KobeJordan or whoever would be who
(19:15):
they are, but Chance favors thewell-prepared.
And if you look to LeBron, he'swell-prepared, he gives himself
every opportunity to be what weknow him to be, and so I think
people should take that in LikeChance really favors the
well-prepared.
You can't necessarily controlthe outcome as much as people
(19:37):
say you can.
You really can't, but chancesare.
If you do the work, if you dothe things, it's either going to
go your way, because it wasmeant to go your way, but it's
going to go.
Let me, let me, let me pause it.
It's going to go your way andthen, based upon the work you're
going to hit this other level.
Or if it really wasn't meantfor you, there will be lessons
(20:01):
extracted from it and you'll beable to take that to something
else, and then it kind ofrestarts and then Chance Favors
the World Prepared.
If you're doing the correctingthere, so it's one of the two.
So if Chance Favors the WorldPrepared, you might as well be
prepared Either way it goesbecause it's going to work.
Either it's going to workbecause you're where you're
supposed to be or you're notwhere you're supposed to be, and
(20:24):
there's going to be somelessons that you get for where
you're supposed to be.
So either way, transphobia.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
There's this mathematical equation, well
theorem, called Prisoner'sDilemma, and it says two people
are arrested and you're bothtaken in separate rooms and the
question is should you cooperateor not cooperate with the
police during the interrogation?
(20:51):
And it's like the answer isyou're supposed to always
cooperate 100% of the time,because if you don't cooperate
and the other person cooperates,you're screwed, so you always
cooperate.
If you don't cooperate and theother person cooperates, you're
screwed, so you always cooperate.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I don't know where this is going, but hey, james,
I'm just saying that's a theorem.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So what you're talking about with chance favors
and well-prepared is like, nomatter what, you have to be
prepared.
Like you may never get in thegame or there is one, whatever
the game is business, sports,whatever but it is also possible
(21:40):
that the people ahead of youcould get hurt.
You have to remember, like,look at what Tom Brady did with
his, his opportunity.
You remember Started quiet.
Qb got hurt.
He was ready, there was andthat that was it.
Never look, never look back,never look back.
And what you chance favors?
The world prepared, that's aword.
(22:00):
That is a word right there,because in any industry in the
world that isprepared, that's aword.
That is a word right there,because in any industry in the
world, that is a word.
There's nowhere in your lifewhere that's not a powerful
statement.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I think the entire quote is chance favors the
well-prepared mind.
Hmm, I think that's the entirequote Chance favors the
well-prepared mind.
You know, most people take aword off of a quote, but it's
still, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
That was the message for the night Chance favors the
well-prepared, Chance favors thewell-prepared.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
So be prepared.
I'm prepared for when Cam Wardget drafted.
You know, number one getdrafted.
Number one my nephew.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
We're going to be so excited to see the family photos
.
That's my nephew.
We're going to be so excited tosee the family photos.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
That's my nephew.
When I was in Miami I seen,matter of fact, my sister, tamir
, seen him in Miami.
Then, when I went out there andthey played, I went to the
Virginia Tech game.
People don't know.
That game happened on mybirthday.
It was crazy.
It was crazy.
That's the game.
Remember they caught thetouchdown at the end but they
said it was no touchdown.
That was the game.
Remember they caught thetouchdown at the end but they
said it was no touchdown.
(23:06):
Yeah, yeah, I was there in theflesh, james.
It was crazy.
You know I'm real superstitious.
Marquise had to go sit overthere.
I don't know what was going on.
He had to sit a row down, sit arow over.
Don't look this way too much,brother.
I don't know what's going onwith your energy right now.
So I, virginia Tech fans theyover here talking oh yeah, yeah,
y'all about to kill us, y'allabout to do this and that Y'all
about to beat us.
Bad, cam Ward fumbled the firsttime.
(23:28):
I was like all right.
Then we took the lead and wewas about to put it on them and
they called a penalty on us andCam Ward threw the pick.
I'm in there stressing I'm likeall right, we're't think you
understand when that last playhappened.
Dude from Miami or Zay Hall,come out with the ball, the
(23:48):
crowd going crazy.
Next thing you know the wholeMiami team running on the field
to celebrate it.
Next thing you know the wholeVirginia Tech team running on
the field to celebrate it.
Everybody like this.
What's going on?
Do you know?
When they went to the boothreview I'm so used to them doing
Miami dirty I'm like man, thesedudes done lost on my birthday
(24:10):
I was like I know this is goingon, I know this.
I flew out here in a hurricaneand this is how y'all going to
do me.
I said this is crazy.
I was so nervous, james, Ididn't even you know how people
would take their camera out andrecord for the moment.
You think I recorded the moment.
I recorded after the moment.
Once they said no touchdown.
(24:30):
Then I pulled my camera out.
It was oh.
I was like man, I'm about toget me on camera looking sad.
But I seen my nephew.
He went crazy.
That's my nephew, cam Ward, andthey robbed him.
On the Heisman Award too, theyrobbed him.
I know they gave it to TravisHunter.
I don't care about that.
They robbed Cam Ward.
(24:51):
They saw what Cam Ward did theentire year against each and
every team that stood his way.
A couple games wasn't too goodGeorgia Tech, eh, and then I
think it was maybe the only onethat he just was like, ah, but
outside of that, they didn'twant to give Cam Ward the award
the whole season.
They didn't want to give it tohim.
(25:11):
It don't matter what he did.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
He was never even really in any major media
conversations.
I mean, he was, but it alwaysgoes back to.
Travis.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Every game he played, like.
So when we came back fromVirginia Tech, people thought,
oh, this was his Heisman moment.
Then when we came back from Cal, oh, that was his Heisman
moment.
Then I think we had another.
Then we played Georgia Tech.
Oh, louisville, this is hisHeisman moment.
Then we played Georgia Tech.
I remember before that drivewhere he f the announcer's like,
(25:41):
oh yeah, if Cam Ward wants towin the Heisman, this is his
moment.
I was like I be the only personthat gotta have a moment every
game.
Everybody else get one, twomoments, one moment.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
He gotta prove himself.
Isn't that crazy?
That game goes back all the wayback to what we said before.
It's all subjective, but he wasnot getting the Heisman.
He was not getting the Heisman.
He was not getting the Heisman,he was not getting the Heisman.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
He was not getting it .
It was nothing he could.
He had to go.
Miami had to go undefeated,Undefeated, which is crazy,
because the Heisman doesn'tnecessarily have to go to the
undefeated, which is crazy.
He had to go undefeated and heliterally had to play flawless
Travis Hunter was doing, whichis crazy.
He had to go undefeated and heliterally had to play flawless.
Correct, Travis Hunter wasdoing this and they was losing
(26:28):
games.
Right, he scored two touchdowns, did this?
They down 21.
Come on, Come on.
Miami lost two games on theseason.
Well, I'm going to call it aregular season.
Play that Pop Toss Bowl.
Cam Warden plays a second halfIn a regular season.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I think Miami lost by a total two games by a total of
like eight or nine points, but,like you said, it's two
takeaways.
Well, there's a bunch oftakeaways, but on the biggest
things, everything's subjective.
That's true, there's a bunch oftakeaways, but on the biggest
things, everything's subjective.
That's true.
(27:08):
That's a big takeaway, that'strue.
And regardless Heisman or noHeisman, you know Chance Favre's
well prepared.
Yeah, he prepared for thisdraft.
I mean, he did everything hewas supposed to do the moment
happened.
He did everything he wassupposed to do the moment
happened.
He didn't get it.
But you never know what thenext opportunity is going to be,
(27:31):
bigger than all that.
Yeah, yeah, nfl, I might get a.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Ken Ward jersey and he's not even coming to the
commandant I probably will neverwear it.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Yeah, but being that you're family, you should.
Yeah, it's my nephew.
