 I don't ever want to lose. A pocket flips it over the middle, caught by Kyle Pitts 40. Down the bar, sideline 50. When I can control me competing and me getting in his head, me saying certain things to know that when I say this to you, you might mess up. It's just like that, but it's all fun at the end of the day. So you're a little too serious out here. Right. So like it's not a game, you know what? Right. That's all I'm trying to explain to them. Yeah, but you're not keeping us going today, Captain. Yeah, I am. Yesterday I shot 98. Today I went to shoot a 96. Just, you know, just always trying to be better than, you know, my previous self or previous score or previous game. I am kind of quiet, but that's because I'm just, you know, locked in on, you know, whatever's going on. But off the field, I'm kind of easy going. I don't say out here, I'm definitely talking my most strength. You know, if you catch me out here, then that's when you, you know, get my real personality. Make that thing. You don't even want to shoot him this way. Why would y'all shoot him this way? Go, get in, Carl. What you mean? Get in and go, just drive around them. Yeah, I'm feeling a faint right now. Look, I'm telling you, they be attacking them folks. Ha ha ha! This is raw TV. I think he likes some nice sugar. People be feeding it, and I'm telling you they expecting some bread. Carl, get in. You want me to drive? Come on, come on, let's go, let's go, come on. Come on, everybody go, everybody go. Press the gas. You sitting there laughing like it's faint. I'm not playing. And you come out here like five o'clock? That's feeding time. You good, you good, it's going, you and they house. You ain't thinking about me football right now. That's good though. When you come out here, you don't... Right. That's the whole point of it. That's the object of, well, you know, today is a little different. But normally, that's how I tell me to come out here to decompress, but you come out here, you're trying to win. I mean, I get it. Why would I not? So it's a therapeutic thing. All you hear is birds chirping. Occasionally, a car ride by, but for the most part, it's just silence. It's just peacefulness. It's just away from everybody, everything. You know, nobody's bothering you. Phone's turned off, it's on silent. It's listening to jazz and blues and just relaxing. Golf, oddly enough, even though he's competitive at it, I can see it kind of cools him off. It's done him good. So what do you do to relax him? Because you're not relaxing when you play this. I mean, you go on all in. I mean, you can still compete and relax. So you're just comfortable with, you're comfortable with competing while relaxing at the same time. You can see the same thing about football. I mean, I hope he just stays at this level. I don't want him to, if he goes pro, so be it. But I mean, this is well enough for him he has something to decompress with. Every swing, a lot goes into it. The mental part of it is golf is about just worrying about the next shot. In the front. I'm in the front, Kyle. Oh, I see what you do. Now open your legs up. Now just, there you go. Swing slow and sweep the ground. Now I'm swinging too high. Swing slow. Those are swing slow, it ain't gonna go too far, right? Swing slow and hit the ball. That's all you gotta do. Slow. Zero patience you have. I'm telling you swing slow and you just swing as hard as you could. That's irrelevant. That didn't make sense right there, brother. Did you not start it one time? Yeah, that was great when I first started it. You suck when you, same way you, listen. The apple doesn't fall far. It was, I mean, it was up and down. You know, I'm a critic. I want him to be great, just like he wanted me to be great, so. That didn't look slow to me. Cause I can hit it a little faster. Give me back his instructions, man. I'm just trying to give his, oh you gonna give me, oh you gotta learn by example. You gonna give me your best game, but give me zero instruction. How's that work? This is not my best game, but I'm just gonna show you how to, come on, prove you, see I see this. So it feel good, beat your dad, real talk. It feels amazing. It feels amazing. Amazing. So eventually you're going to have to come, get on the water on the boat and then we're gonna even it up. That's unpredictable. I can be predictable with that. You can't make the fish run the bank hub. I can. I'm just saying, you win in here. You don't win in the ocean. Let's make the, don't let that rock trip for you. You gonna listen to me one day, my guy. But today, just like I told you. But we're on the land right now. Let's talk about golf. Let's talk about me working on you right now. That's a easy win. Easy win. You right. So I'm gonna keep doing it. What are we here for? We here to, you built me to be competitive. That's a fact. So you should wanna, you should wanna, me to stop talking so much trash. I can't, I gotta eat that. I gotta eat that. When you're on the back end, you gotta eat that. All you gotta do is keep your head there. You gonna get tired of walking. Here you go. That'll play. Now you can take a happy walk to the cart. Not a sad walk. This way. Now look. See, this is what golf will do to you. Hey, you mad on the hole. You didn't, you got yourself out of par's distance. Now you wanna walk the whole hole. I was pretty humbling. I never got beat by my son like this before in any other sport, but clearly he's doing great with this now. So I gotta pick my game up. So when you come back next year, hopefully in due part two, it'll be a different result. For me anyway. Golf game you got. Patience with me. I see you running thin. But you're doing better than I thought. You ain't start screaming at me. Nah. I'll break every club you got. And keep your head down. Do not look at the flag. Keep your head down. Boom. See? Second time again. Keep your head down. Now you're on the green. Keep your head down. Not up, down. God, don't get tired of me saying it. No. Yeah, you are. That's repetition. I'll be all right. We just flipped roles today. He was the first straighter one. I was the hard-headed one. Kinda like the day when I said keep your head down and he keep picking it up. That was me. He'd tell me keep cleaning my room and I wouldn't, but it'll click after a while and then you'll realize that, you know, he's telling you that for a reason. You don't. Now I see how you feel. You don't listen. That's a fact. Just your normal average 10-year-old that didn't want to take the trash out, make his bed up. Nothing different than nobody else's experience. It's just that he gravitated towards, that's the only thing he really listened to was football. So do you remember when we was at Abington and you were in middle school and I told you, don't pick the ball up. They throw it at nobody else's. They see you throw the ball, they're gonna make you a quarterback. And you kind of did it the day that I wasn't there, but make a long story short, they turn you to a quarterback. At that point, how comfortable were you with being a quarterback? I just wanted to be the star of the team. Yeah, but just, you need to start. I know I couldn't be no quarterback. I did too. The quarterback was, I knew I wasn't gonna get far with that. And the switch was everything because I wasn't comfortable with a quarterback. So when I got too tight in, it was, you know, a dream come true, I could score. When I scored, the whole crowd go crazy. So that was something in high school I wanted to do. You remember the game when y'all played prep on TV? And I got busy with the slam. That was absolutely. That was my debut. But I knew your hands was good. Not why I received the hands, but the tight end knees. But all right, but what did I tell you about? I said, who you gonna make your money at? Catching the ball. But what position though? Tight end. Facts. So actually I'm kind of lightweight genius though. Genius is a stretch. Okay, call what you want. Intuitive? Yeah, maybe. Swing hard and keep your knees down. Y'all's on the ball. Stop playing. What? Oh my jit. Say it ain't so. Thank you. Stop playing. Sit down. We right now. Which game while you was at Florida, you think was the one that made your name ring bells? I would say sophomore year was a good, sophomore year against LSU. I had a good game. That was when they were in the natural championship. And then first game of my junior year, but I came out the game. Going to the end zone. Pitts has got it. Touchdown. Kyle Pitts scores it. Into the end zone. Did he hold on? Oh, what a grab. Trask. In to Pitts. Hands again. Kyle to Kyle. And Pitts goes rolling. Touchdown. Kyle Pitts. That was a kickstart to that junior year. I feel like that's when I was like, okay, I'm coming into the player that I need to be in order to get to the next level. And that kind of gave me a little confidence booster as the first game. And then just snowballing in the right way. They trying to heat up track and what a catch by Pitts. Wow, he went stretch mode on that. I learned a different way of lifestyle down there, like a different culture. Being mentally ready and knowing, you know, to be able to play in front of a big crowd. Trask ends on shot. And Pitts got it. Pitts able to rip it out of the air for the score. They got it ready. That's what Coach Bullen promised from the beginning. I said, how do you make a good player? Great. He said, I got it. I had to let him do what he did. And sure enough, it all worked out. Before you start. I found him in the front. See the way, all right. That's what I seem to say. Swing slow and just get it over the bridge. Hey, get through there. Hey, hey, roll up on the hill. All right then, buddy. Not too bad. At what point did you notice that you, outside of me seeing that I knew you liked it, how did you know you liked football? I mean, when it just was, it wasn't in the hobby anymore. It just was something I loved to get up and go do. It wasn't just something that you forced me to go do, or something I felt like I had to do to shut my parents up. So do you think I pushed you into it when you were smaller? No. No. Okay. Cause you had a shot of basketball down. No, I didn't. Oh, that's true. No, I didn't. And that's, that's where you would have took my genius right there. With the fourth pick in the 2021 NFL draft, the Atlanta Falcons select, Kyle Pitts, tight end, Florida. This is a unique player. It's the highest grade I've ever given to a tight end. The word freak is thrown around. This is a freak. The draft, that was actually kind of, it was kind of unique, I would say. It just was like so fast. I feel like once it happened, it all didn't sink into like, I wouldn't sleep and woke up. And I knew I had that press conference. I was like, oh, it really did happen. Take it all now, bro. Take it all now. You earned this. And then it was just like, all right, now, now onto the next move. Now you're back at the bottom. Now reach back to the top. You take a slate, break you into a ham sandwich, a little turkey sandwich. Then go at it for another run. Yeah. You ain't do that the last time. I mean, yeah, we're not gonna get the full 18 in, but I'm saying that's how golf is. But you don't stop though. You keep going. No, and then on a day like today, you could play 36. Everything that we did to get here is what he's gonna have to do times two or more to keep on going for his longevity. When he came out the tunnel the first time, after he came out and he passed me, I was like, woo, and then after he got, then after that, it was, let's go to work. Then you don't get a little goosebumps. Like, wow, we're at all the time. Go, he was just this big. And now he's this big, and he's running out the tunnel. I was like, woo, that's serious. I would say I'm looking most for steady progression to just each week, each year, just keep getting better, but out doing myself, myself. What a catch, Pitz, and a stiff arm stays in bounds. Takes the shot for Pitz, pulls it in. He's not doing anything I'm not surprised with because that's the way he's been since he was small. The ceiling is his, that's his thing. Just like golf. I'm just now starting off, and he's concerned with kicking my, but he's doing a good job of making on a short short. He's teaching me oddly enough, like I was teaching him. So everything comes full circle. Pitz makes the catch first down Atlanta. Pitz in stride, midfield. Just beating everything that I wanted to get each year by, you know, a substantial amount. So that's just chasing greatness. Gonna gun it across. What a catch by Pitz, one-handed. Holy smokes. At the end, take your hat off when you say. Take my hat off. It was a pleasure playing with you. That's how you do it. That's golf etiquette. How did you learn that? That's golf etiquette. Great game, son. I'll be back in six months. Okay. Don't let the first game fool you. I will. It's not much to fool. Don't let the first round fool you.
