Transcript

00:00Second one he's come to.

00:02And he gave me a Duran Duran guitar pick last night.

00:06Oh, very nice.

00:08So we should, before we get out of here, do what they do at reunions.

00:12Ashley, do you have extra trucker hats over there?

00:16I'm sweating.

00:17Okay, maybe we'll do a couple of those for longest traveled.

00:21But traveling from, I assume, Rhode Island.

00:24Yeah, Rhode Island.

00:25I came from Rhode Island. It took me two damn hours.

00:28The great tie-laws.

00:30How you doing, man? Good to see y'all, man. Back with the fam.

00:32Yeah, we missed you.

00:34Oh, yeah, definitely, man. Sorry I couldn't make more, man, but I'm glad to be here.

00:37We appreciate that you weren't here leading Wiggy astray last night.

00:41No, I was looking for Ty last night, man. You know, shot o'clock, brother.

00:44Yeah, it's always time.

00:46Always time. We're going to take some shots later on, too, so don't y'all leave when it's over.

00:51Yeah, Greg is going to dip out real slick like he always do.

00:55We ain't going to see him, but I'll be here. We're going to take a shot with everybody.

00:57Look, I have a tooth thing. I think you went through the same thing.

01:03Root canal?

01:03Yeah. Well, no, I had a wisdom tooth. A molar pulled because of wisdom tooth.

01:09Yeah, I had the same thing.

01:09Weren't you dealing with tooth issues?

01:11Yeah, same thing, man. I mean, it ain't no joke, so you probably will take a shot and enjoy it before you go.

01:15Please tell Curtis. He minimizes it.

01:18I have heard more about this effing tooth than the Devers trade this week.

01:24No, real talk, I would rather run into a guy full speed, 300 pounds, than deal with that toothache.

01:30So you've got to be, hey, you've got a right to be afraid.

01:33Have you ever had dry socket?

01:34Huh?

01:36That's in your mouth.

01:37You know what? Damn right.

01:39Yeah. Yeah. I mean, because I had the root canals and stuff.

01:42Yeah, I mean, that's some different type of pain right there.

01:44I'm a wuss, man. I was damn near crying.

01:47Yeah.

01:47Ty had to think about how to answer the dry socket.

01:50Yeah, because you know, you got to say, hold on, let me see what the hell you're talking about, Coco.

01:54All right. Well, it's been a while since we were able to talk Patriots with you,

02:00but offseason-wise, what do you give them for a grade?

02:05I mean, I ain't going to give them no A-plus, you know what I mean?

02:10I ain't going to do that, but I think it's a good draft, much needed,

02:13because you've got your quarterback, so when you take an offensive lineman in the first round,

02:17somebody that can protect them for the long haul, you know, I would give them a good B-B-plus, you know what I mean?

02:25Okay. What would you give grade-wise to Steph Diggs for not having a cousin around to blame the drugs on him?

02:35Oh, man.

02:36Well, he failed because you got caught on tape.

02:43Don't you know his cameras, camera phones around and all that crazy stuff?

02:46Man, I don't know what he was thinking about on that one, but...

02:49It wasn't drugs.

02:50They say it's Altoids.

02:51Yeah.

02:51Yeah, I mean, that's what you're supposed to say.

02:54That's what you're supposed to say, but you know what?

02:56Do you care? You don't care about me.

02:58No, I mean, you know what?

02:59No one got hurt, and the thing is, we're not going to talk about it.

03:02It's going to be all forgot about, but you got to ball.

03:05Yeah.

03:05If you don't ball and you don't show out and come and do Diggs, Stephon Diggs type of things,

03:11it's going to always come back up.

03:13So, you know, the only way to silence that is to go out there and play good football and help this team win.

03:18Or make sure Cotty B's at every game to take out.

03:20Right.

03:21Turn off his play.

03:21Ty, what do you think about Vrabel?

03:23You play with him, obviously.

03:24What do you think about him as the coach of this team?

03:28You couldn't get a better guy, in my opinion.

03:29I still think, you know, Gerard got the short end of the stick, but when you're going to bring somebody in,

03:34you're going to replace them anyway.

03:35I am so glad they did it with Mike Vrabel.

03:37You know, I had the opportunity to play a lot of years when I went a lot of Super Bowls,

03:41a lot of champions, and he's going to have instant credibility as soon as he walks in.

03:45There's one thing about a coach coming in, and you might have respect, but it's somebody that played the game at that level,

03:52and he's responsible for three of those banners.

03:55He was a big part of three of those banners there.

03:57That is the respect that he's going to have that most others can't.

04:01And the other thing is the fact that he did a really good job in Tennessee as a coach,

04:05so you also got to give him his respect as a head coach out there.

04:08Yeah, much respect, and thank you, Tennessee Titans, for firing him.

04:14We appreciate it.

04:15We welcome him home back here.

04:16I know he don't – nobody wants to get fired, but I got fired three times, so we can talk about it.

04:22And we'd like to send a shout-out to the Tennessee Titans.

04:25Did you like the Will Campbell pick?

04:27Huh?

04:28No, I did.

04:29I mean, because you got to – we got our quarterback for the future, so, I mean,

04:33I do like that they have somebody that can protect him, you know what I mean?

04:36Because I don't know what you would say our offensive line was when, you know,

04:41we had the whole – we thought we had our quarterback in Mack Jones.

04:44Right.

04:44But I think May is special, and you have to protect him.

04:48Do you worry about a sophomore slump from him?

04:51You know what?

04:52You got to worry about the sophomore slump with everybody.

04:54Okay.

04:54Because when you play decent ball as a rookie, it's always, oh, he's good, he's good.

05:01If you don't play good ball, oh, he's a rookie.

05:04If you play good ball, he's a rookie.

05:05Let's see what you do next year.

05:06So, this is going to tell the tale because now people saying that, you know,

05:10defensive coordinators are going to be like, oh, this guy can play.

05:12Let's see what he's going to do now when we throw this at him, when we throw that at him.

05:15So, this is going to be very, very important for him to go out there and play well.

05:19And if he doesn't, guess what?

05:21We're going to have quarterback conversations again.

05:23We're going to say, we're picking that in the draft.

05:26You should have picked – you had a chance to pick Shador, anything.

05:29You know what I mean?

05:29Yeah.

05:29That's going to be the narrative.

05:31I was talking last night at our event at Wally's with a Steelers fan who says he believes that everybody

05:39is underestimating the season that we are going to get from Aaron Rodgers this year.

05:49He's done.

05:50He's done?

05:51Yeah, he's cooked.

05:52He was awful.

05:53Done?

05:54He was awful with the Jets.

05:55He looked like he was 100 years old.

05:57He is.

05:58He won't make it through the entire season.

06:00The argument from the – is the Steelers fan here?

06:02The argument was that there is way less media pressure in Pittsburgh than there was in New York.

06:08What?

06:08I don't know about that.

06:09Yeah, Pittsburgh's a hard market.

06:11That was his argument.

06:13All right.

06:13And that he has better personnel.

06:15I agree with the better personnel.

06:16And he has a way better coach.

06:18Yeah.

06:19Way, way better coach.

06:20And Ty just talked about respecting the coach as a player.

06:23Right.

06:23You're going to go into an environment where it's Mike Tomlin.

06:27And Ty, you can kind of talk about that a little bit because when you left New England,

06:31you were established, right?

06:33Right.

06:34And then you went to an organization where it's about the head coach and how he runs his team

06:40and what that coach is like.

06:42Right.

06:42Our culture is everything.

06:44And the one thing that the culture is not going to have to adjust to Aaron Rodgers.

06:49Aaron Rodgers is going into a situation where he's going to have to adjust to the Pittsburgh Steelers,

06:55Mike Tomlin's culture.

06:55So that's a totally different dynamic.

06:58When I went to New York, when I played with Brett Favre, it was a little bit that it was

07:04adjusting to Brett instead of Brett adjusting, you know, to the Jets organization.

07:10You know, when you came in here to the Patriots, we didn't give a damn who you were, how much

07:13you were getting paid.

07:14You had to adjust to the culture what we built in that locker room and coach Belichick.

07:18So you had to make the adjustment.

07:20So he's going into something that he never had to do before.

07:23He created the culture in Green Bay.

07:24Hey, you go to New York, they pay you all that money and all these expectations.

07:28So he doesn't have to, they have to adjust to him.

07:30They had to adjust to him.

07:31Yeah.

07:31Not the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Tomlin.

07:33Not Mike Tomlin.

07:34Hell no.

07:34Yeah, and he has too many guys.

07:35And then we talk about guys in that locker room.

07:37You got guys like Cam Hayward.

07:39You got guys like, you know, I know TJ Watt wants more money, but you have guys in that

07:44locker room.

07:44And he don't get more money.

07:45Right.

07:45You got guys in that locker room that can easily say, hey, Aaron, this is how we do things.

07:50Similar to, you always talk about when Rodney Harrison got here.

07:53Yeah.

07:53And like, hey, this is how we do things.

07:54Yeah, exactly.

07:55And that's a great example.

07:57But that was also somebody willing to come in and say, you know what?

08:01I'm a part of y'all team.

08:03I was established when I went to New York.

08:04I was one of the Indians.

08:05But guess what?

08:06I got to adapt to you guys.

08:08You guys got to adapt to me.

08:09When I went to Kansas City, it was a little different.

08:12But I have to ingrain myself into your organization.

08:15I can't come in here thinking I'm high and mighty just because I came from the Patriots

08:19and we winning and we whooped your ass all these years.

08:22I mean, I got to sit there and be humble and say, I got to adjust to those guys.

08:26So Aaron Rodgers, he's going to get humbled by Mike Tomlin.

08:29Even if he did go in, Mike Tomlin has a way of sophisticated humbleness.

08:35Yeah.

08:35Ooh.

08:35I like that.

08:36I love it.

08:37I have a question.

08:38Someone that is always humble and seems to be adapting well to his new environment,

08:42Bill Belichick, North Carolina.

08:45What do you think of Bill's life?

08:48And what do you think about North Carolina this year?

08:51Well, Bill's life right now, that's a damn good reality show right now.

08:58Oh, yeah.

08:58That's a good one.

08:59I mean, more power to him.

09:01But I think how all the guys, every former player says, oh, yeah.

09:06There's always the pause.

09:07More power to him.

09:08Yeah.

09:09No, I think more power to him.

09:11It's my daughter.

09:12We have different goddamn conversations.

09:15You're not invited to the cookout.

09:17Hell no.

09:18But, you know, I'm going to stay out of that one.

09:21Wait, wait, wait.

09:22Your daughter.

09:23Is the same age.

09:24And she brought, she's the same age.

09:26Yeah.

09:27And if she brought Bill Belichick to a family cookout, you would.

09:30His ass better be coming to see me.

09:32He better be coming to see his whole thing.

09:38You can't control her life, her whole life.

09:41Oh, we got a problem.

09:41Yeah, you can.

09:42No, I can't control her, but I'm going to damn sure try.

09:46In my house, in my roof, in my rules.

09:49And Ty, pull that mic back up.

09:52Oh, yeah.

09:52In my rules, my house.

09:54Your house.

09:54And, hey, no, and she, hey, I'm going to hold my daughter hostage.

09:59She ain't going.

09:59She's 25.

10:00No, hell no.

10:02Bill's 70.

10:03Bill going to get his ass whipped.

10:05All right.

10:07Ty, I have a quick question.

10:09Oh, you want to do the thing next, the 25-year team?
