 It's so stupid. It's positively bruised How did you feel about Andy Reed winning the Super Bowl? I was honestly I was happy for me and for me like said playing in Philly and Obviously the way the things went down, you know me not being able to you know continue on I got suspended a sec My second year and then just the way our first year went like I like that's what they brought me to Philadelphia To the help get them beyond the four NFC championships that they had been to prior and As I mentioned to you earlier earlier some of the guys they can attach to Brian Westbrook and said it Brian Dawkins those guys know I brought an energy over there I brought swag over there and that and that that took them through the playoffs when I had gotten hurt You know being dragged down for that for the horsecaller and I was injured That energy that that I brought throughout the course of the season that propelled throughout the throughout the playoffs So for me like I felt like I let the city down, you know, because that's what I wanted You know, I mean I wanted to get get to the Super Bowl. We played in the Super Bowl I played with two screws and a plate in my ankle. I thought they said you had a broke leg Which I did I had a broken ankle. Wow. No, I had two screws and a plate in my ankle I severely sprained ankle and my fibula was broken. And so that the only thing that bothered me was the break So when I went out pregame or what have you they tried to take my ankle up That was the worst thing to do because it hurt really bad. So I went back inside Talked to Rick Burkard who's he's still with Andy won a Super Bowl. He's a head trainer for that for the chiefs as well And so I went in and I told him I said dude I said my I said up by my knee. I said it's the break is it is it's hurting really bad So what he did was he basically just took some tape because when you walk and you distribute your weight distribution your bones Naturally spread and so that's what was bothering me. So they basically just put some tape around it that kind of eliminated it eliminated some of the pain and so I was I was good to go and so again I tried to do everything within my power I knew that I wasn't a hundred percent, but I gave it all that I had knowing that Prior to getting to Philly when I got to Philly how the fans embrace me going to Lehigh University having 10,000 plus people that I practice every day That's what really made me want to really play in that Super Bowl even though like said I even had to sign a waiver just to play in the Super Bowl. Hmm. So the way was it? So they wouldn't be liable because the doctor that Performed my surgery. He didn't medically clear me. Hmm. So I couldn't just be on the football field Otherwise, somebody's gonna be liable. So I had to sign that waiver in order to play in the Super Bowl That important to you though because you had a future after that game So why was that so important if you realize that was the only Super Bowl I ever played in Yeah, you know, so again, you know, everybody if you're a lot unlike the Patriots You're not gonna get to the Super Bowl very often. I just felt like within my power Everything that I had done throughout the course of my career like I'm a man I'm a God fear man. I was raised in the church My grandmother always told me just put faith in him and you can do anything that you know You put your mind to and that was pretty much the premise of why I wanted to get back on the field It wasn't trying to outshine or anybody. I knew that if God gave me that ability and That the trainers put everything that they did behind me to get on that football field and I could play Then that's what I was gonna do Matthew master because I knew I wanted an objective opinion on this Does that help her to team right to hasn't played in a while? It comes back. He's not a hundred percent. It might have established a different type of chemistry. Yep Yep, did that help her at that time it helps because that's your superstar like and when Kevin Durant came back right for that game that energy that's in the building that's in the city It definitely helps it helps every player especially the role players because again, don't forget they won two playoff games So the role player is like I've done my portion I raised my level up, but I might not be able to do it this third game. Whoo. I'm glad I got my big brother back You know I'm saying so it definitely helps in all those scenarios I would have thought that's what that was the approach that Donovan would have taken with me being out You know those two playoff games, you know, he's been politically correct all his life You know me, but when it came to me for some odd reason, maybe he don't like you dog Like I said, that's what I took from it. What what is it against? What is it about me that you? Do you think it was if I don't know and if you're gonna get mad at anybody Why not get that get mad at the media for asking you that question, but you've been politically correct every other answer Why not be politically correct when it came to me about, you know, whether I was gonna play or not He could have found a number of ways to answer about me not, you know You know not being available to play in the Superbowl I Honestly, I don't know and so for me like said, I thought I thought it was dead. I thought it was it was done I had I've seen him a few times after that. We've played in Larry Fitzgerald softball Game on the team whatever I thought everything was cool, but at the end of the day, like I said, you know When you're trying to stay relevant for whatever reason and as I mentioned to you earlier I've never been in the off-the-field had any off-the-field problems any issues for somebody for him The league the team guys have put him in such high regard Who's had the most off-the-field field issues? How many do you guys have he had? How many how many not meet sexual That's what I'm saying you call me dudes. Yeah, he's on that list, bro. So again, really I always like I said Bro, I've always been accountable for what I've done and even when people have accused me of things that I haven't done I said, I'm always gonna defend my character Reputation the reputation is what people think of you and like for me and my character. I'm proud of who I am I'm proud of who my grandmother raised and so After all of that if I'm such the bad person that the media has portrayed me to be all the years You would think that it would translate a transfer to post football. So you and Donovan never had a meal together I never had any type of leave me cursing me out in the huddle, bro I I counseled all of that really it would be And I don't know I'm you're me. I'm I'm I'm done of it. You come to me like T I was open on this play. We don't want no fucking suit So we don't work on this play we plan I think it was the the Browns or the John I can't remember who it was, but we ran this particular play I'm number one in the progression the play worked to a T in practice We didn't even have to tell that sometimes they are scheme and tell the defense what to do But we didn't have to do that just because the play was so potent Did it in practice number of times did it in the game and worked to a T Everybody knew the play was coming up. I ran the route ran to the sideline to defend a bit. I'm up the sideline I'm wide open. He doesn't even throw the ball. So I before I even Before I even just judge anything I come back to the huddle because I didn't see what was going on So I'm thinking okay, maybe he got flushed out of the pocket or whatever the case may be I just when I said dude, I was wide open because when I came out of my route What was your tone when you said that? No first exactly and I'm glad you asked it my tone wasn't demonstrative. Nothing. It was no different than any other time I was like dude, I said I was wide open. It was just me talking to him No, no, dude, he looked at me and told me shut the fuck up I Dressed it in the holder during the game. I said no, I'm a chill out. We came out on that series I even asked my position coach. I'm like, yo, I'm like what happened on that My coach looked at me with the kind of like just bewildered. He's like, I don't know I said was he flushed out of pocket and he's like nothing. So I after the game. I went to my locker We're in the locker room. I Waited like said at this time like said, I know that the perception so I know people think oh, he's gonna, you know, he's Destroying the locker room. There's always something so I waited till the locker room cleared out it was a couple people in the lot in in the in the area where we were getting dressed and Before he left out of the area I just addressed him and I said look I said dude at the end of the day I said, I'm a man you a man I said I didn't come at you sideways or what have you all I said was I was open I said don't ever dress me like that again And so from that point on did he say something back to you right there though Did he respond to like when you said that did he respond I can't what a response was but he looked at me addressed it or whatever But at that point my I was like, bro, I I just Because if you look at it from a quarterback position, right when that happened if he would address it He should have been like well look something happened on that play Which he was frustrated and he took out his frustration on you during the moment, right? You would took that as an apology, but you're saying that never happened that never happened But anything yes, I already asked the coaches what happened. They had a bird's-eye view. Yeah I'm gonna say what happened though, right exactly there, but they're watching again I know my my coach is not gonna lie to me. I asked him I said well what happened on the rise like I don't know I say well the first that flushed out of the pocket. No, there was no reason for him not to throw the ball And I was number one in progression Position I think you were locked up like I would lock your Sound ridiculous
