Yeah, this is a confirmed story. Every year before the first – Uh, preseason game and, you know, a lot of these years, you know, kind of the starters aren't playing much and they're really going over a little bit that first game, what the routine is before the first preseason game.

Like all the, you know, patent goes. So we're kind of doing those things. And, you know, I'm kind of sitting on the sideline a long time, and I always kind of walk up to a few of the rookies, and I'm kind of holding my mouth, and I'm going, man, I've got to get my mouth, my teeth been bothering me. I've got to get my wisdom teeth pulled after the game. And they're kind of asking questions.

I ask them if they have or have their wisdom teeth pulled. Whether they say yes or no, I say, you know, can I see? Can I either see? You still have holes in your mouth. And so when they kind of open up and look up and open their mouth, I got a big chunk or clump of grass and dirt in my hand. And I just throw it in there. And, you know, I've gotten like three or four guys on that first practice.

I've gotten a few coaches. So good, dude. Sean O'Hara and I were trying to get a rookie, and Amani Toomer came over. Amani is like in his ninth year, and he just jumped in the conversation. We're not talking to him. And he opened up, and O'Hara put a couple of grass in his mouth. That's so bad. We weren't trying to get you. You offered up this information. I couldn't resist.

And you played a whole season. You played playoff games. You played the NFC Championship. All of a sudden, it's like a Super Bowl. Just all the lights and the national anthem and everything going on.
