You know, some guys lose their mind. I had a friend of mine, his name, we called him Big G. He was from Oak Cliff in Dallas. And we called him Big G for a reason. He was like 6'5", about 300 pounds.

Because that would be, that's a normal reaction would be to go insane. Yeah, lose your damn mind that they're going to kill you. And that you're going to sit around for 10 or 15 years until they do it. And so sports for me, especially football, it takes me out of this place. When the game is on, I'm at the stadium. I'm not in this place. I'm not here. I'm not under that death sentence.

I'm not worried about, oh, man, are they going to set me in execution? Oh, man, are they going to deny my appeals? You know, because that's real. That's real there.

I think that we might have to wait until Patrick Mahomes goes to another team or something because can't nobody beat him. Do you have a prediction? Yeah, yeah, this is their year, no matter what. Every year is their year, and one of these years they're going to get it done.
