 People can't even stand on the sideline celebrities in the NFL because of us. We had all-star cast on the sideline. The distractions and everything else that Jerry Glamble has caused is he's bringing in MC Hammer. They're waiting his arrival now to surprise the team. He's going to lead them in the pregame prayer and also with a little bit of rap. You are in the locker room. What is the mood in there right now? Oh, it's the same as usual. They all fired up and ready to go. You're legit to quit. Ain't good to send you hammer. Alright, get your ticket at the door. It caught on. Until this day, all Atlanta wants, man, is a winner. Or someone with a winning characteristic, a winning traitor, a winning DNA. Atlanta is a city that's ready and willing to embrace and support you in a multiplicity of way. You gave me chills. I think MC Hammer was just, he was one of the biggest celebrities at the time in the country. To come to our sideline, he was going to kick out of that. Him and Deion had this thing going on where Deion was a primetime superstar and obviously MC Hammer was too. So they blend it right together. And then Deion came to me and said, MC Hammer wants to talk to the team before the game. He wants to talk to the team. He wants to give the team talk. You know me. Yeah, let him have it. The news, his talks were a whole lot better than he thought that was. And then we went out to San Francisco a month later or so. Y'all don't remember, we went to the airport and there was Evander Holyfield. And he got on the plane and nobody invited him. And he came to me and he said, I want to talk to the team. Let him go too. You can have my seat. I got to talk to the team this way over here. Not one word was said. I said, man, this could go on for hours. So I probably said, how about that? Daryl, you gotta think about this right here though. This is 1991. We got the world heavyweight champion right here in Atlanta. On our sidelines. On our bus. On our plane. How many teams, when you look around over the last 30 years, how many teams can say that? Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. That's what made that 91 team so special. You think about it. So, Hammer traveled with us. Evander traveled with us. We had Travis Trent show up all the time with James Brown coming show up. Hey, we're out in Sawani in the locker room, right? And I'm sitting down and James Brown is sitting right next to me in a locker. And he's got his assistant. James doesn't take off his own shoes, right? Right. So he raises his foot up, his guy takes his shoes off, puts a nice pair of turf shoes on, ties up his laces. We go out to the field and I'm sitting, I'm next to the Godfather of Soul. I'm from Eugene, Oregon, sitting next to the Godfather of Soul. I teach him how to take a snap from under center and run a toss, play the micro Jira Heisman trophy winner. That's what just didn't happen. Dennis Hopper, Dennis Hopper's hanging out with us. Jerry Jeff Walker, Travis Trent. Jerry Jeff Walker came down, married the Redskid and wrote a song about y'all. He was so talented, he wrote a song about y'all that makes you think, you know everybody wanted a piece of that song. Did you get to sing on that record? No, I didn't. Thank goodness. If I did, I would definitely do not play it right now. That was terrible voice. What were those, because I know the pregame locker room was madness, right? What was that, what was that like being in the pregame locker room that was similar to a nightclub, right? I wouldn't say this right here, hey, Chris. It was your soundtrack. It was your soundtrack. Chris, listen to this right here, man, seriously. In the NFL, everybody want to get serious. Right for a game, you can go out of 31 teams, how many teams there are now. You can go and listen and it's quiet. Our locker room was never quiet. Pregame, when you come in there, it was blasting. I mean anything from country music to rap music, rock and roll, everything. And everybody loved it, man. It motivated everybody. Cool thing you have folks dancing and doing their thing, getting comfortable, getting ready for the game and nobody's uptight. All the stars hanging out. All the stars hanging out, walking through locker room. Then you have folks like me who I put my headphones on and be sitting in the corner trying to get ready. And the music just going and going. And it was so much fun. I mean, you couldn't ask for a better scene. It wouldn't fly in today's NFL secure. And that's before the game. It wouldn't. Not before the game. Not before the game, it would work. And it's that times three. Chris, after the game reporters would come in and they're like, can someone turn on the music? We can't even ask the guys questions. It would be that loud. No one touched the music. And the music played the entire time. The music was sacred for sure, man. It was sacred. And you're awesome. We had big, big boom boxes. We're the only team when we got out of the airplane. We traveled. I know. Travel with them circles. And still to this day, people talk about this team as one of the teams in Falcons history that was most connected to the city in terms of the way you guys played, the way you were boastful and brash. And like I told you earlier, Deion had to, you know, look wet, but it's dry. It's very curvy. Why do y'all think y'all connected so much with the city of Atlanta? When I left the city, and I hadn't used the word, but you all know the word, people said that team started swag. And I never thought about that because I never thought about swag. I just thought we had, we wore black uniforms because black wouldn't the color was an attitude. Well, that attitude got to the swag. And I think Atlanta loved the swag of the way they played. You know, we didn't throw a frickin' four yard route. We didn't go three plays without a blitz. And so it wasn't what people watched today. Today it's like going to Baptist sermon. Nothing's happening, you know? We're on fire. All the time. I think he's right with the swag thing. I mean, the city was on the rise with the music industry starting to get big. The Braves had just won there. They had just started becoming the Braves that they are now. And, you know, everything was missing, but the football team. And then, like you said, when that swag started, it started hitting us in the media. And then it poured onto the field. And I mean, we had Dion Prime time. We had Showtime and Andre Ryzen with Jerry Glanver, who was a big character of himself. And I mean, it just poured into it. And then we were winning games. I mean, you win games, the media is going to follow, especially with all the other stuff that's going on around us. I think it was all inclusive, too, with all different walks of life. Everybody could identify with the Falcons, what we were doing. It was new. It was fresh, no matter if you were West Coast, redneck country person or whatever. I mean, everybody could identify with different walks of life and it made it so unique. And everybody had fun. You see on these videos, everybody's rockin', and you don't see that all the time at NFL, the games. And it wasn't just that we were the most exciting Falcons team. We were the most exciting team in the NFL. Yeah, exactly. For me, it was different because that's where we were in Houston. You know, we came here, for me, when I got here. First year, we lost a close game. Right. That next year, we won those games. So, the father we lost the year before, we won. Right. So now, we had his attitude and his spirit and just who he was leading the way. It opened up all that for when we got here because everything we did was a tack. We was having fun. We was working hard, you know what I mean? And like we had people from all genres of life, you know, from country-western to rap, to blues, to everything else, to where we were able to reach everybody within the community. Then you let us be ourselves, that was the good thing. We all can be ourselves and you encouraged it and it just came out. And that brought the swag on. What's interesting about being yourselves, offensive lineman comes up to me 20 years later at the Super Bowl. He goes, nobody had the fun that we had, but I now realize nobody worked as hard as we did or were more prepared than we were. He goes, when we didn't have you, we weren't prepared for all that stuff that was going to happen. So people thought we were having fun, which you were, but you all didn't know you were working harder than anybody. Who else played nine on seven lives? People don't know when you practice, you know, today you practice, you don't have the gear on. We've practiced the entire season with the gear, three full weeks, nine on seven weeks to run the real live. But that made me better because I was the NFL leading tackle that year. And Jared, thanks for that. No, thank you, thank you. But he brought a lot out of the city and brought a lot out of us because before, you know, our team was, you know, obviously the, you know, the Falcons color, you know, you got white, red and black and we wore no colors. You know, red was home and white was on the road, but we was back in black when Jared came. It was an attitude thing, not more or so a jersey and the helmet change. It was an attitude change. That's what it was. I think the attitude change brought us from the year before your first year, we went five and 11 to going 10 and six and eventually going to New Orleans and winning the first playoff game in 11 years. And I think that carried on to this day. You know, it helped change the culture of how the average fans in Atlanta viewed the Atlanta Falcons.
