But yeah, nothing that's stood out. Do you have any favorite football cliches? Favorite football cliches? Do it in the playoffs. Sheesh. I'll keep it. Never mind. It's for a different podcast.
I don't want that one to be clipped. It's like, well, Austin shares this. I was like, oh, God, come on, man.
That's all I'm saying, man. Hey, you're not wrong with saying that. You're not wrong with saying that. I think that's appropriate. Yeah, absolutely it would. But regardless, obviously, I don't want to hear the word. I'm sorry. However, yes, if that was the scenario looking back, that year would be a pretty dang good year.
Well, yeah, I'll definitely tell you this. Like it's definitely, it's definitely special. And you know, I, I definitely recognize this and I'm in year eight right now. So my career is, It's already been long if you look at the statistics. So as long as I continue to feel good and I'm able to contribute, this is exactly where I'll be and continue to live this life.
Because I understand it's definitely special being in this moment, especially on this new team. And when you're winning, it definitely changes your mindset. Because we're human too. We feel the emotional toll of going through the ups and downs of seasons. And it's it's just like really everything else out in life with your job is going through it up.
You're probably feeling great if you're going through down. Same thing for us. But I think it's a little bit more public. So it's even harder from that standpoint of making a decision, because I know like you'll see like some narratives are like, oh, if this person is going to continue to play.
I think it was like Cooper Cup is like coming up on his contract and some other guys is like, well, we got to decide if he's going to keep going or not. And those are real conversations because the ups and downs and just having those long careers, you got to decide, like, is my mind ready to go through a whole nother season?
Because I even tell my wife, it's like if I commit to a season, like our offseason is like structured around workouts, like vacations are cut because I have to be regimented. I know what I have to do to get myself back in shape. And, you know, I think make sure you're doing everything you can to make sure you continue to make an impact, because I always tell her it sucks to suck.
So you don't want to go out there and suck.
I'm not sure that way games. Yeah, I'm not sure because I know – even on the back end of that because she already has a few vacations she wants to go to that we have to decide if we can or not. And so if I'm like, hey, she finds out, actually wasn't playing. Now she's like, whoa, we didn't go to Europe because of that. Yeah, so I – I don't know.
I don't know if that one's going to make it through.
Yeah, I don't know about that one. Let me know how it works.
So she didn't watch football before she met me.
um and so like i was like the first game she like ever watched back like three four years ago and um she still doesn't know all the rules she knows most of uh kind of the rules and she really only likes it when i'm playing she's like it's not as fun when you're not playing like when i was out with my concussions and stuff like that and uh so i know you know who knows her football watching status after uh i retire and you know whenever you fake retire right yeah fake retire
That was definitely not making it.
It's hard to say. It's hard to say because as you mentioned, like... your life does change so much. Like you're in a structured environment, right? Go through the regimen every single year, go through the season every year, but then you go away from that while I'm in it and being like, man, like I want to break from this. It's easy to want to break because I'm in it still.
But if I step away, it might be a position where I'm like, you know what? I might want to be in some type of, you know, media position or, you you know, calling some games or doing some, you know, uh, analysis stuff or maybe coaching. Um, and so I don't think I can really answer that right now just because of kind of the situation that I'm in, like I'm in it.
And when I'm, I know when I'm ready to retire, it's like, I'm going to want to break. Um, and then who knows who knows how long that break will be. It might be a month, might be a year. And then I might have an itch, you know?
Well, you can, but I've been building up so much kind of just equity in this stuff, right? Of my knowledge of the game, of kind of my name that's out there. And so- you have a lot of value there. So it's easy to find opportunities in that space as opposed to going and starting to build equity in a new sector, which I mean, I am, you guys know how active I am.
So I like to at least have some options, but I know that being around football is definitely one of those that I'm keeping open that door open.
