 Saw Tom Brady last night talked to him for a little bit. He retires this morning coincidence Let's dig in and Dion and Sean Payton a huge win for Colorado sports fans this morning and more importantly Mountain time the Mountain Time Zone, which is the least regarded and respected time zone of them all in true Tom Brady fashion Let's go Good morning guys, I'll get to the point right away. I'm retiring for good I know the process Was a pretty big deal last time so when I woke up this morning. I figured I just press record Let you guys know first so Won't be long-winded if you only get one super Emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year, so I really thank you guys so much to every single one of you For supporting me my family my friends teammates My competitors I could go on forever. There's too many Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream Wouldn't change the thing Love you all We appreciate Tom Brady so much I do I will be sad to not watch him play My entire adult life my entire NFL life is Tom Brady And I met this weird age where these guys like the Philip Rivers and the Ben Ralfelsberger and you know Eli Manning's and Peyton Manning's the guys that I got into the game watching are Going away at a pretty rapid clip and then there was this thing in Tom Brady That was still sticking around and he's still there and he doesn't go into parts I know never to be heard of Allah Philip Rivers or any of these other guys a Huge piece no matter who you are no matter who you root for if you hated him if you loved you if you Caused you pain he caused people God he caused so much pain and inflicted so much damage to fans over the years You can't not have a giant appreciation For Tom he is the greatest he is the greatest do we understand that I think we do I think we all Collectively and I'm seeing it all over Twitter this morning all over all of the shows everywhere a lot of reverence Which is necessary and so well-deserved for Tom Brady now that said and I Appreciate even more the self-awareness from Tom. They're saying I did this last year all this does is Create questions for me and probably for you and let me know how you feel You know the first question after watching this declaration of retirement take two is Will he stay retired? It's where my head goes. I hate that. It's true, but it's true today The story is not some and I'm seeing it places and go do as you want It is not some giant retrospective It is not Mariana waving or Eli the retirement tool tour again hand-to-frame photos of things It is not that it should be but it's not and that is just what happens when someone retires For the second time the question it's just this and there's a lot of questions But the main one is will he remain retired after a down season in all of ways personal Whatever or a season of adversity now this soon. I don't think so. I'm actually not falling for it fully once Mr. Goat mr. Rings on Rings on Rings full me once mr. That moment with Jim Gray on Let's go an excellent program That was like five seconds ago when he is snippy and doesn't say he says I don't know what I want you to Now he's done now. He's I love you. I love you everyone I faced I love you my everyone that I've ever been in contact with in the NFL He went from that Jim Gray sound bite to this resolute. Goodbye. Come on Am I the only one not buying this and am I to blame for not buying this? He can be retired today and maybe we should take and celebrate that as such But this will not stop teams from calling teams a call and he's saying he's done GMs will only love him even more We don't know anything about what any of the NFL teams are going to look like When anything is said and done August July September Will he be able to stay away? Does he have that in him is the prevailing question? Will he be at Fox next year? Does anybody actually see that happening and maybe am I a hundred percent convinced? No What do you guys think? The message coming this morning and it's so crazy It's great promotion for the movie 80 for Brady. They're at the premiere last night in LA so so fun Listen, I'm at Sally field couldn't have been nicer an absolute legend a goat in her own right And I've got to say I think it if she was thinking about retiring We had built enough for poor last night that she would tell me we both wore velvet We chopped it up she would disclose that information then I run into Tom Brady who I know and love and appreciate Tom you couldn't tell me this last night. We talked about Gronk were blah blah blah blah little chit chat I'm standing there. He asked how I'm doing we had a story you could have let up and Adams break this thing I just want to say if there's a sequel and there's like a 90 for Brady situation in a couple of years And you decide to unretire and then retire a third time and that is where the smart money is They don't know what the fan will sportsbook as are this morning. This has to go differently come to mama You got to help me out here But if it is true and and it is the end and at least it's the end for now It's the end today Congratulations to you Tom because that could not have been easy to do Gronk comes on our show every week. We couldn't get him today. We'll get him tomorrow. Hopefully. Oh He's coming out tomorrow great. He's coming out tomorrow and he said it so simply football makes him happy Well being around football on Fox in a booth will that make him as happy coaching in his future? Is he done like the concept of retirement has dynamically changed? Oh, it says does not a thing Nobody should say they're retiring. They should just say there's no financial finality to it anymore It's not an absolute concept anymore look at Gronk himself comes back leaves compared to say you're not playing this year Look at Sean Payton. Did Sean Payton not retire? Didn't he say I'm stepping away. I'm whatever like and it was basically taken as a retirement Nope. Now he's getting to Delta Denver and we'll get into that there You know, there's there's a lot ahead for Tom Brady. I can't wait to see what you do If you're listening if you're out there watching whoever's watching this And honestly I'll just say this and we'll get into it after watching this 80 for Brady thing I'm convinced he could be an actor. I really am there's one scene in this movie where I said Oh Okay, Stephen A Smith. You think that role is brick on General Hospital is safe and not so fast After you see Tom Brady with Billy Tomlin in this thing I don't know Brad Pickett's another role in this town with that chiseled cheek maniac Tom Brady taken over I don't know go see 80 for Brady especially the last scene And we'll dig into more of that later, but we've got this Sean Payton situation to get to here's what we know The Saints reportedly get this the Broncos 2023 first round pick number 29 overall and a 2024 second round pick for Payton And the Saints 2024 third round selection Mark Ingram will be here in a bit to go over this but What I know about Sean Payton is that he's been killing it on Fox on Sundays Enjoying that very much enjoying life and always looking for the right spot He was taking a little siesta a little rest and here is what he told us in fall About how he was feeling about not coaching and what it would take to get him back somewhere when you prep all week and you Win a game There's nothing like it like that that is like a drug. Mm-hmm. And so there's a It's it's that addiction to that feeling of winning Okay, so he has an addiction we get that now I asked him what his priorities are when he's looking for his next job and this was surprising again It's back in fall, but a priority was not a quarterback. Here's what is So that has to be addressed. Yes, but But what I'm talking about is beyond that what I'm talking about is the ownership group the front office group is That all in concert because in some places it's not and when it's not I don't care who the quarterback is like in other words Then you don't have a good job, right, you know, I mean then then despite How how good your game plan is despite the talent you bring into the building if if those things aren't all on The same page then you have dysfunction He doesn't want dysfunction he wants the right situation He's the bell of the ball. Isn't he so I look at this from Sean side the coach's side There's a lot of ifs here and with what he's saying there I don't think his mentality or his philosophy of what he believes as a functional successful Situation for a head coach has changed in the last couple of months. He must really believe in George Patton He must really believe in Kelly Klein shout out to her our national girl and women in sports day Ownership is important as well. If the ifs here are can you can you trust ownership? If you're talking about, you know, you got the Earth say family and the cold stuff You're looking at a job in Arizona the Beatles have been in charge generations. So there's at least some consistency This is a new ownership group. I imagine if I was a coaching candidate That would be a little bit scary Also, though if you're Sean a bit of an opportunity to go in there and say, I know how this should be done I know what's going on here, and it could be seen as an advantage Which I very much agree that he would see it as as so then you're looking at the other what ifs here The other things that might look at Denver and not say this is the most attractive job because we've been mulling this over for weeks I mean Broncos fans. I love you. I'm so happy you have an answer here And I think you should be excited about this But you guys have been waiting to find out what was gonna happen the AFC West if you're a coach like it's not so fun Right, you got a contend one with Herbert. You got to look at my homes It's it's a tough division and then there's the real thing the thing that Sean was saying that is not the most important And that's that Russell Wilson is there and he is about the biggest question mark And an unprecedented project. I mean if you really think about it That's what he is. He's coming off a career worst year. We don't know what it is This was a team that was projected to be top five on both sides of the ball. It couldn't happen And and I'll say this I was just bragging or name-dropping Tom Brady I recently ran into Russell Wilson and had a little chat with him And this is a person who very much I could tell dying to get back to greatness Did I see a Lombardi trophy on his phone? Sure. I might have and that's where he wants to be Did I see that and hear him speaking about football? It gets his passion? Absolutely, and he needs the coach And he needs a motivated coach. That's a winning and proven commodity and that's what he has so Broncos fans I'm hearing these like weird rumors that the Broncos wanted to meet the Ryan's of a pain I have no information on that but that is like the best thing to tell Sean Payton with what I know about coach Great you tell him if there was another candidate that they might have wanted over him. That is perfect This is a coach who is beloved by his players. He is brash. He's winning culture He's a complete character and now you have Russell Wilson who is you know Pious and who is quiet and who wants to do the right thing. They're so different much more different I think than a Drew Brees and Sean Payton situation and Sean Payton got the best out of Drew Brees He also got the best out of Teddy Bridgewater when he was out there when Drew Brees was hurt Tayson Hill went three in one when he was out there. That's what Sean Payton can do Sean Payton with James Winston got you know Rebs with him, you know There were some injuries and other adversity to face But right when James was turning a corner and you could really tell in his play that he was more in control What he was doing that's a testament to Sean Payton his ability to develop a quarterback He got injured and was knocked out. So if I'm a Broncos fan, I am so freaking excited about this you got yourself a home run this was the bell of the ball and He will turn things around Immediately I can only imagine and I don't know what the Fox obligations here for mr. Payton But he is probably running to Denver to try to fill out His coaching staff bring guys along make it happen I'm sure he was chomping at the bit that this decision and all these trade picks and all the stuff has to happen And I know Broncos fans are thinking man We are giving up a lot in a trade and we have this Stupid price tag over this quarterback and it might have been the worst trade in NFL history There is no better coach. There is no better person who I know inherently wants to say F you to everyone that might doubt him and it's had a year now to stew remove himself He's gonna get back in there and he's gonna see all those dead last dead less dead less dead less statistics the career Worst for Russell Wilson all of that reinvigorate it set a winning culture set some sort of consistency And get it done. I'm super excited about this and I think it'll actually be a bit of a match made in heaven different Different like dipping french fries into the frosty at Wendy's but it tastes good So you might not think it'll work, but I actually have a feeling that it'll be okay So I think they can return to a winning team. He'll bring guys with him And I can't wait. I can't wait to ask Mark Ingram about this. I asked Mark Ingram You know, what do you think about Sean Payton to Denver? We both like I don't really see it But if there's anybody to get Russell Wilson back on Trend it's a hair. Are you in Denver yet? Are you the Tavius? We're gonna join Devonte Williams with the story We use these like free tracks that we we have like a library of music that's got to be my favorite one Marissa's front I'm ready for war. I'm ready for war tonight. What is it? What is it called? Do we know? I don't know just some random light some random library check Mark I love your intro music Hey, y'all y'all snap with the music video in the intro song, you know, I look forward to that every week We look forward to talking to you and we got a lot to talk to you about this is great lots of headlines here What do you want to start with? Hey, listen you the boss you you you the you know you the head woman in charge So I'm just following your lead you tell me where we at Let's start with the go we deserve to give the great the greatest some love here I'm like, I don't believe you. I don't believe in retiring. You're probably gonna retire. Then you'll come back I'll see you two years later. So I'm like, I don't believe any of y'all anymore when it comes to retiring But what do you want to say you've battled Tom Brady over the years? What do you got today retired at the age of 45? Listen when I tell you I'm retired it's gonna be the it's gonna be the one so, you know I mean you ain't got to care about me with the fake pump fake retirements, but speaking of the goat himself, man what a legendary The greatest career ever Much respect to him the battles that I've been with him in the NFC South seeing him win championships with the Patriots So I'm no more with the Bucks. I mean he has more Super Bowls. He has more Lombardi trophies than anyone Franchise does that in itself tells you he's the greatest ever to play the game You talk about letting your accolades speak for you talk about letting your championships speak for you I mean he has done absolutely that and anyone has to who is a fan of this game Anyone who loves his game has to admire him appreciate him and respect him and wish him the best in his future because he truly is a legend What was it like being on the other side of the field? You know you had to put him down because if you gave him any life any life at all He was gonna come back and you know bring that team back to victory or give him a good chance to come back for victory So you always know when you play Tom Brady that you had to be on your peas and he had to be on your cues You get to be dying your eyes crossing your teeth making sure that you did everything possible to make sure you buried that team Because if you gave him any sort of life, you know Tom Brady at the end of the game was gonna do Tom Brady as type things and You know what he is a winner what he is is a winner So much respect Tom Brady and much Much hope love and blessings for his future endeavors. Whatever that may be. I Don't know what it'll be. He's got a new movie out. He's acting. He's producing He's doing he's got his partnership with Michael Strahan lots of things that he could do He's got the Fox deal too. He could be in the booth next year Only time will tell I guess we'll never know you know who has Tom's number is Sean Payton So tell me in those battles those wins for the Saints What what would Sean say about Tom Brady in preparation for those games that worked so well? We knew what he was. We knew he was a guy that was a good leader or fierce competitor We knew that he had the ability to beat you, you know, I mean so when we went out there It was just be doing what we do make sure that we took advantage of what we of our game plan And know what we had going on not being too worried about Tom Brady. We knew we had a defense We knew we had the corners. We knew we had the defense to frustrate him and get him angry You know, if you hit him kind of get him off his Office, you know rhythm kind of get it in his receiver's face kind of you know Take his tight ends away get pressure on him. He kind of gets frustrated a little bit So it was more about what we would do as opposed to you know focusing on time in the box, but um We always had much respect and love for him because it was just who he is and what he's done throughout his entire career And that's been a winner. So you can't you know, you can't sugarcoat that you can't like take that away from him He's always been a winner every step of the way every single place he's been so we had to just do what we needed to do focus on our game plan and Hopefully that would be enough And it was pretty much every time like that's one thing I actually I can't believe he's I can't believe I just don't I don't get why now why now Who knows Kay like that's a personal decision that you have to wake up with every single day like the grinds the training the the physical emotional Stress that you go through in a season even preparing for a season, you know, he's done it for what 22 years What is it like that's something that you have to you know, wake up and look yourself in the mirror Like do you have the desire? Do you have the passion? Do you have the ability? Do you have the world all to go through preparing for a season and and competing in another season? When you've done it 22 times you're one more than body trophies than any other team has in the nfl You know, you have that that you you could you could decide for yourself when or when you don't want to retire Yeah, it's so true. You know who else fake retired and lied about it and now now it's coming back Is your old head coach who lands with the Broncos which nobody saw coming And now he's got Russell Wilson. So how does he fix Russell Wilson knowing what you know about your coach? I mean Sean is Sean is Sean Payton and if there's one guy like I said if there's one guy who fix Russell Wilson's woes or whatever Everyone wants to call them his worst season statistically ever it is Sean Payton I mean look at Drew Brees when he came to the Saints in 06 like he was a cast away Everyone was writing them off for dead like his shoulder was bummed and um, look how that turned out You know, I mean, um like you you've seen the james. You've seen um You know taste some you've seen several other quarterbacks that he's kind of took under his wing and just you know Made a successful bit of confident in their abilities and went out there and made winners out of them So when you got Russell Wilson a guy who has been, you know, one of the better quarterbacks, you know In his early years, you know, winning a couple super bowls taking the seahawks to you know, back to prominence You think that Sean will be able to see that potential and see that Um see that experience as a positive and that he can do something positive with it. So, um, I think that You know Russell and Sean, you know, I think that they'll have a good little partnership going I think Sean has something in mind and obviously he feels like he can be successful with it because he did take Denver job So obviously seems like that's something that could be an asset to him Yeah, how how do you think those two will vibe together because I'm looking at it like a movie Like you should sell the screenplay to netflix because they could not be more different these two You got Sean who's rolling in rolling in cases of cash money and then you've got Russell Wilson He was just that the complete opposite of that one thing Sean's going to change that entire culture the against each other the Not supporting each other the going and speaking behind this person's back or the quarterback's back He's gonna like all that in the butt man. Like he's gonna he's gonna Make sure that the team is on one One string one accord. He's gonna change that culture and I think him and Russell will do a great job together I think Sean is a player's coach. I think Russell has played for players coaches like Pete Carroll He's known as a player's coach. So, um, obviously they're different in their own, you know, type of way their their styles and their approach, but Um, I think that it's gonna be a I think it's gonna be good for Russell. Um, Sean is a player's coach. He's gonna know Russell strange He's gonna speak to Russell about things that he likes and he's obviously gonna incorporate those things within Sean's system Which he runs, which he knows through on through being offensive genius and uh, they have weapons all over, you know, the receivers Javante Williams, I know the Tavis was toting the rock form last year. They have a great defense. Yeah, Tate Tate train Totenat Totenat Tater holding it down for the old GRB's, you know what it is um But nah, um, obviously he sees something and Russell he sees something in that situation at Denver where he can go in and Make a culture change and be able to be something positive for those guys. So You know, their defense was playing top of the line last year, you know, I mean, they just couldn't score too many points So once you get that offense rolling, you got Jerry, Judy, you got courtless Sutton, you got Javante Williams coming back. So you got playmakers all on offense So now it's just about getting Russell getting this confidence back seeing what he thrives doing and incorporating it in Sean systems You and T-Train Lot of fun with the Saints together both both free agents Hey, you know me. Hey, you can kick me up and drop me wherever you want. I'ma tote their rock. You know how I mean I'ma tote their rock. I'ma tote that tater. I'ma bring the juice all day long. So no matter where it's at You know, I'ma bring it I very pretty lethal backfield with the three of you and javante back there Quickly Bama gotta give Bama love Texans. They hire Niners DC What an amazing decision here former franchise icon and fellow Alabama alum D'Amico Ryan's your thoughts about him as a head coach First and foremost road time. We all over the place my dog D'Amico Getting his shot man, which is truly him Which is truly deserved. He's done his thing with the San Fran defense over the past few years He was a g he was a boss Out there being a linebacker for the Texans for the crimson tide over his career So what better choice for the Texans to bring one of their own one of their like you said one of their franchise icons Back to be a head coach Of the Houston Texans. I mean, I think this is a win-win. It's a win for d'Amico. It's a win for the Texans Um, and I'm excited to see what he's gonna do down there in the age because the age deserves good football Age deserves a good football coach and it deserves a good football team So I'm rooting for d'Amico and the Texans with this with this hire here And you listen, you know him, you know, Alabama, you know the Texans you had a short stick with them recently in 2021 So you know that those fans definitely deserve something They do have the second and the 12th overall pick five picks in the top 75 And they've got 40 million dollars in cap space those Texans. So that's a pretty nice spot for d'Amico Ryan All right to be in maybe you should have send him a little text like congrats Hey, when we when we play the same friend, I said, hey, man, wherever you go, don't forget your boy. You know what I mean? So it's already in his ear It's super fun. Well, because because he's in this line of guys like the Mike Rables and the Ron Rivera The Doug Peterson's the friend Greg's like it's a little different when it's a former player out there, right? That's coaching. It's just a little different yeah, I mean Those guys in his locker room should love him because He was one of them So he knows what it is to go out there the vigors of like I was talking about a preparing for a game Preparing for a season going into a game being able to go out there and play to your best your ability and play to your strengths He was that he is that and you can see what he did with San Fran and that defense over the past few years So I'm sure those guys are excited down there and uh, I know he's gonna do a great job, man D'Amico is a great player great person and he's been a great coach So I'm glad he gets his shot in a place. That's familiar a place to where he started his NFL career And man, I'm rooting for him roll tie brother all day, baby. So Um rooting for Houston Texans and D'Amico Ryzen is hired man. I hope uh, it all goes very well for now They got great. They got like you said, they got two picks in the first round You get one of these young quarterbacks to come in and you know, um, this it's it's it's on It's on the rise for for the Texans Yeah, you want Bryce young to hand you that ball next year mark Hey, man, if I had to suit up with one of them young boys, man, Bryce is the man You know, I mean Bryce is the man. I wouldn't mind taking handoffs from him. I wouldn't mind taking handoffs from Stroud You know what I mean? So You got two young guys coming in that's uh, some young beasts some young gunners, man So whoever's you know, whoever's they choose Who wouldn't want to you know, play with those young ballers, man. Who wouldn't it's true I would see and of course tom brady on retire. So you might have an option there as well I'm going to give myself a red card because we don't have time.

They're flying to cabo everybody in the nfl the chief's man. They were down Four receivers out of five the run game could not get anything going bangles defense credit to them a dj reader there Kelsey he was getting doubled all that was going on They were needing somebody to step up an mvs on the biggest stage rose to the occasion one of the best performances Of his entire career hauling in six for 119 and the touchdown Don't forget. This is his first year as a chief. This is his third taste though of conference championship action 2019 with green bay. He played in the uh the rahi moester game Remember the niners ran all over the packers then in 2020 against tampa bay Equally impressive performance like something happens to him in the playoffs He had over 100 yards in a touchdown and that also ended in heartbreak As brady and the bucks captured the lombardi So it was very cool to not only see him break through and earn a super bowl trip Finally, but to do it in such Spectacular fashion. He could not be stopped. He was the go-to guy from the homes was limping out there And we all just got to soak this in for him. We like good vibes here on the show We like pointing out good things people are doing and it is so hard to get here Look at the moment it all sunk in for him in this tweet too. Look at this He says serious question. Can I watch rihanna perform at halftime? I love this couldn't love this more It's a question I have are the players in the super bowl the only people on the entire planet that don't watch the halftime show Ever like do they go back and watch stoop? Do they go back and watch Lady gaga and rihanna. We should us gronk that tomorrow rob gronkowski on the show But all feels and all happiness for marquez valdez gantling and I cannot wait to see Listen, he does a little something something in these big games and we'll see what he has next sunday I literally cannot believe the super bowl is next week in arizona.

Everyone needs to go 80 for brady Not only because it's a beautiful story about four strong willed Incredible women in the friendship and the thing that bonds them together the most is their love for new England and tom brady. It's sort of fitting today with this retirement. Seriously. I mean, they couldn't have been planned any better I cannot believe that happened. I can't believe we saw him yesterday Saw the end of the movie. Yeah, no spoilers here And then he retires a mere six hours later because we got home so late Is it great promotion for the movie or did he really retire? I don't know. I don't know either He didn't give me retirement vibes last night. I'd be curious to pick apart all of the sound bites from him On the carpet. That was too. That was too good. That was too natural Yeah, I don't know. He see he really leaned into it. Yeah in the movie. I would say the other really cool And there's some cameos Gronk as you guys know Gronk and Jane Fonda Listen, we love we we were some chemistry. We love a camille caustic here, but watch out camille We are warning you as two women who love you like no no they were they were incredible There were some cameos from some patriot players some other very fun like new england characters Yeah, but the coolest part is that you forget 28 to 3 Yes, because so much has happened since then and they take the best angles the best footage you could tell the nfl Probably have some great synergy with them and giving the footage and the logos all of that So it was a very positive experience unless you're I mean if you're matt ryan don't watch this movie That was a jump scare beyond belief I mean How do you feel if you're him if you're anybody? Any falcon you got got and then you got jane fonda getting you got sally fuel for mrs. Doubtfire Is clowning on matt ryan in this movie not directly but indirectly and they show matt The nerve the nerve to show matt ryan and it's what you have you see julian edelman's catch and you see julio's catch And you just remember this is the best of the best like it does not get better than this He could have walked off after that and retired into the sunset when it would have been fine He had many chances to do that many chances. Are you believing he's retired or not? No, I don't think so. I mean, I I don't see someone as great as tom brady going out like this I think he tried to do it last year and that would have been great. Yeah, it got spoiled. Yeah, I just don't see him Doing this. I think he's got one more left in him. I think he's gonna ride out on the sunset just like Peyton did I think he deserves that you want him to come back and lose to the eagles again that's what I already know That's what this eagles fly here wants. We're gonna once it was a lot of fun. I don't know how we weaseled it I would not have gone if it Wasn't for this one over here who like somehow was my publicist for the evening. It was very fun at a great time See the movie. I think it's out now. Yes. I want to know everybody's thoughts everybody's thoughts, especially on the last scene See if you see if you feel my vibe with what I've been saying today Once you watch that so that was great for incredible leading ladies in this movie And we have to talk about the specialness of today It is national girls and women in football day and we are all about celebrating that we It is on our show. I can say very normal to have women in leading roles That's marisa mcbride right there. Of course our associate producer. That was amy. How can we go again? Wow, that was really how our ceo the ceo of fan duel is about the most badass woman That's hailey hekman and hailey hoff who worked the early hours. That's michae Of course, we love her michae bryant. She is our editor You saw amy how up there sirushi white our director who i'm half afraid of and half just reverence of in reverence of all time She's so brilliant. I always you know, I never wanted to disappoint her by having my foot up like this but uh From up in adam's and fan duel Give a little give a little love to the woman who are working in sports. It is not easy And we will have stem rapper fort joining us after this That's marisa We've got lots of women to celebrate today girls as well happy national girls and women in sports day No one better to have on i'm so excited Uh about our next guest right now. She's currently the nfl senior director of diversity Equity and inclusion. She has been part of the nfl family y'all Since as far as I can remember definitely since I've worked for the nfl back in 2013. I know so 2003 But when I started watching the nfl, um, she won a commissioner award for her work Um, and I can say that which is you know, not a small deal to win a commissioner's award She's a former quarterback as well for the montreal blitz and a trailblazer Uh, and I'm a little nervous and excited. I have sam raffer for it. I'm the show sam. How are you? Good k. I'm so excited to be here Um, tell me about I mean are you excited about super bowl? What are you working on right now? You're the senior i'm gonna get that right senior director of diversity equity and inclusion that can't be a small task That's not I you know, and I've been working for the league for 21 years and super bowl never gets old So i'm incredibly excited for the game But yeah under jonathan bean who is our chief diversity officer We're really working right now to operationalize diversity equity inclusion across the entire league all our clubs Our league offices. We really want it woven through absolutely everything that we're doing in the league office And that comes straight down from commissioner gadel Um, and how have you seen inclusivity like, you know, we talked last year I know, you know, jane worked on a brilliant documentary and I've talked to a lot of the owners There's there's more and more female owners We want to get into that more and more women taking those big roles on and and it's sort of shaping the league And it sort of has to start at the top. That's my opinion. Um, how have you seen that inclusivity sort of grow over the years? And how much more work do we have to do? It's been expedited substantially in the last six years if you look at the nfl six years ago to where we are today You know, we have three female presidents now at the beginning of training camp this at this season We had 15 women working in coaching positions You know, we have uh five female officials right now So if you look at where we were before which was a lot of zeros across the board to now where we're working Closer to normalization and ubiquity of women in these roles It's remarkable to see and i'm pumped to be along on the journey of it It's amazing sam and i talked to you about this a lot and i'm i follow you on twitter and i It's it's how i learn about a lot of the women that are doing incredible things and incredible work in the nfl I always have a bit of a confusing moment about it because of course i want to celebrate Women in these roles and in sports whenever i can because i know how hard it is in my little field In my little corner as a woman, but i also hate talking about it. I hate pointing it out I hate because i think it adds and perpetuates a storyline like that's weird She's a woman out there and we're seeing it less and less like i'm see You know, we have four women involved in the Super Bowl more than that i'm talking about, you know Too on each side as far as coaching and those sort of personnel roles And it's not the biggest story and i love that i'm so excited. So how do i balance? Or marry or reconcile this want for celebrating and need for celebrating it while also wanting to normalize the presence of us in the sports world Yeah, that's the million dollar question and something we've been working on since we started this program But I think we've gotten to a good place with this. So what we're trying to do is recognize it Don't fixate on it So recognize that yes, it is a big deal that autumn lockwood is the first black woman to coach in a Super Bowl We mentioned it now let her do her damn job And really that's what we're trying to do So it's important to recognize it because the more and more barriers we break down the more normal it gets So we don't want to ignore it But then after that and if you talk to any of the women in the league or any marginalized person in the league They just want to do their damn job. So don't add spotlights to them or rocks to their backpack or whatever analogy you want to use Just let them succeed and really that's what's going on in the league And I credit a lot of clubs for for putting women in a position to succeed in that in that realm We love seeing it I was just even saying kelly climb like shampaians go making this decision like this big coaching candidate to go To denver where there's newer ownership that can be scary Like what's that going to look like but you have george patten there But you also have kelly climb who's his right hand person they're making these decisions and it's just That seems normalized to me in a way that i'm really proud to be a part of and proud to work And cover an organization that treats it that way now you mentioned autumn lockwood But as we're we're just gonna give love and move on like you said We're not going to add to it But let's give some love to some of these women that are going to be on the sidelines and heavily involved in the Super Bowl Super Bowl 57 between the eagles and the chiefs you mentioned autumn, but there's also amina There's tiffani more and there's julie freymeyer. What what do we need to know about these women? Ah, they're all badasses and just like taking names in the nfl But julie freymeyer interestingly You know patrick mohomes recently tweeted about her that she was the reason that he was able to play last weekend So, you know it's these women are are absolutely incredible One thing I love about it is that I think there are 19 women on the football side that will be working Super Bowl this year with the eagles and the chiefs and so I can't even name them all right So we used to be able to say hey it was autumn. It's amina. It's julie, but it's tiffani But really now they're 19. I can't I can't name them all But there are so many women that are involved in moving this game forward and because it's not a huge story right now Which i'm super happy about That's the progress right there It is it's forward progress which you preach whenever I see or hear the words forward progress I think sam rappel for and all the brilliant work that you and everyone are doing there Over at the nfl now you were instrumental. I think it's fair to say you created the nfl women's careers in football forum back in 2017 Uh, how has it evolved? I know a little bit about how the idea was born But how has it grown over the years the list of coaches that are taking their time has made such an impact them It's really inspiring It's incredible. You know when we started the program there was one gm one head coach and one owner who raised their hand to be a part of it And at the last forum, which was the sixth annual nfl women's forum I had head coaches and gms texting me during the opening session Saying don't let anyone get her i'm bringing her into training camp and you know, they were getting competitive with each other They were naming their friends saying don't let him get her I want to hire her and they were hiring women on the spot And so really what we've done is we've taken it from an idea into something that's that's molded into nfl culture Now where our progressive coaches are amazing head coaches and general managers are saying if you're not part of this You are behind the eight ball and that's been said by commissioner gdell and several other people That's the tone of the league If you do not have if you're not trying to achieve gender equity from a number standpoint But also from an inclusion standpoint and equity you're behind the eight ball and clubs are recognizing that and really stepping up and making progress How if somebody wants to get involved or want to attend the nfl women's forum or somebody who's just thinking man I really hate my job. I've always wanted to work in football And i'm seeing it's a possibility for me now. How can we make help make that happen? Yeah, I mean the first thing that you need to do really is get involved in football in some way if you're not already I always say volunteer for your high school team or Go out to a semi pro tackle league and volunteer to coach or what have you We are working on live streaming parts of the nfl women's forum that are not confidential this year So i'll be posting that on my twitter. So if anyone wants to follow With our open sessions, we'd love to have you and if you'll be at the combine hit me up And we'd love to have you in our guest section Oh my god, you're the best. You're just the absolute best. What's coming up league agenda anything going on? You know with and obviously we're celebrating girls and women today, but I know inclusivity is Not just women. So I know at the super bowl. There's lots of events going on I have a partnership with smear not vodka and I was just with them in Dallas and they were talking about How they've sponsored an event Around inclusivity and it made me all the more proud to be partnered with them Yeah, I mean it's apropos that we're talking on the first day of black history month, right where we Celebrate our black and african-american trailblazers in this game Which is really the reason why it is the reason why we are successful So there is a lot of celebration and discussions around black history month right now at the league And you know, we're also working on our accelerator program Which is led by blenda gardener and venessa hutchinson And they're really trying to put our top talent our senior talent in positions to meet with our head coaches our owners To potentially get jobs in network and ran carthon is Was a participant in that program and he recently preached about how that helped him get to where he is And super proud of what they're doing and and overall the way that we're trying to weave dei and absolutely everything we do Is something that i'm incredibly proud of It'll happen because of you sam. So we appreciate you we celebrate you We're not going to talk about it too much because we everybody knows you're doing your thing So hopefully i really hope i get to run into you At super bowl and i was talking like i have i have an associate producer We have a very small team over here with my new little startup venture, but marissa mcbride my director Our amazing editor.
