00:00Well, of course, last year, like we say, a little bit of a cult hero type following for

00:08DeVito in the New York area.

00:11And basically when he won those couple games, his face was everywhere that you turned.

00:18You saw Tommy DeVito.

00:19He does not expect that to be the case this time.

00:23He just wants to stick to playing football.

00:25Yeah.

00:26I mean, like I said, like last year was a good story and all.

00:29That's kind of like how it happened, you know, all the fun and games like outside was

00:33it was fun.

00:34It was last year.

00:35I'm kind of over that.

00:36I'm sticking to football now.

00:37Not that I wasn't before, but really focused on that.

00:39The external stuff will be, you know, on pause.

00:41If I already had talks with everybody around me, like my inner circle, like it is going

00:46to stay very tight and make sure that everything is about production.

00:51It was way better when it was fun because the season's over.

00:56And if he wins a bunch of games, all it's going to do is hurt them.

01:01That is that is true.

01:03Do you think another reason maybe why they didn't make him the backup after last year

01:09and they signed Drew Locke is because he had so much popularity and he did so much stuff

01:15off the field that maybe the team was like, listen, we just that's not you say it all

01:20the time.

01:21The backup quarterback can't be more popular than your starting quarterback.

01:26I just can't be exact.

01:28But like that, maybe that was part of it.

01:30And now they've kind of given him another chance here.

01:31And they were probably like, listen, we want you to be a football player.

01:36Let's not do the fresh mozzarella hit with stew or go do the comedy club and go do all

01:42these other things.

01:43Like, let's just play football.

01:45We think he got some ability and show us that you can do that.

01:48I think maybe a little bit of that was was said here, too.

01:51Yeah, I believe it.

01:52I think there's, you know, it goes back to Sutru and everything like the guy.

02:00Precisely.

02:01Yeah.

02:02There's no man.

02:03They just weren't having it.

02:04We're not having the help showing up.

02:08Everyone else in the starting quarterback and the franchise can't have the image of

02:14some guy selling fresh mozzarella down at the stews.

02:18You can't have it.

02:22You can't have it.
