No, no. You don't? No, my guy, O.J. Simpson. Really? O.J. Wow. Greatest of all time to me. That's why I played the position. Right, because of OJ. Because of OJ, yeah.

GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
That's exactly it. I want to play position. They had me at a slot receiver and all that, slot back. I'm like, I don't like this. I'm like, I'm going to get running back. Oh, you're too tall.

GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
He played. I could play.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Yes. Great player for the Eagles. Great player. Great player. So, you know, that's kind of the time I thought I had a shot to play. What did they get? A lot of money. It wasn't a lot of money, but it was a lot of money to me back then. Back then it was a lot of money, though. You see the money now, you're like, oh, Jesus. But you know what? I'm not envious of those guys. I'm happy for them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
They deserve it. I know how tough that game is and what it does to you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
I talked to him after he got to 2,000 yards. I got his number from a guy that I know that works for the Eagles. And so I gave him a call. I called him. I talked to him. I told him I was a man. I said, you had a great season. I told him my AP story. I said, I talked to AP. He had 2,000 yards. I called him the next day, and I said, AP, a great season. He said, thanks, Eric.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
I said, man, let me ask you a question. Don't you have a game where you got the most yards in the game? He said, yeah, 295. I said, oh, yeah. I said, you want anybody to break that record?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
So, man, you know, I told him great season. And, you know, my thing is that I saw what Shady McCoy said that I said that it should be an asterisk by that. That's bullshit. I never said that. I mean, I would never say that because I know how hard it is to get 2,000 yards. Oh, because there's 17 games and all that? Yeah, I don't believe that. I mean, O.J. did it in 14.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
I did it in 15, one extra game. So, I mean, I don't play that game. I mean, 2,000 yards is 2,000 yards. I don't care if it's 19 games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
But did I want him to break it? No.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
I'm not saying he's going to play pro football, but, man, he is some kind of athlete. I mean... I saw that when he was four years old. He was some kind of athlete. And he told his mom last year, she was in the car with him. She said, I got to tell you what Dallas said. She said, my dad has a record, doesn't he? She said, yeah, what is it? He said, 2,000 yards. He said, 2,000 yards?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
She said, I'm going to break that record. I said, okay, now that would be what I would want. You'd be okay with that? Oh, my gosh. I mean, I'd be as big a cheerleader. That'd be perfect. Perfect.

GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
He does.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
Really? No, I let him play flags 7-on-7, but I don't let him play tackle. I just don't think he's not. He's not ready? He's ready, but I don't want him to play. I think 9th grade, 8th and 9th grade, he's in 6th grade right now. I think ninth grade would be a good time from the start.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
In general, I don't even want him to play, to be honest with you. I mean, but if he wants to play – because his mom and I got into a little argument – about it. She wanted him to play like now, like right now. I'm like, no. And she's like, well, so-and-so says. I'm like, well, who the hell is so-and-so? Well, you know, he played in college. I'm like, I played in college too. I said, listen to me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
I'm arguing with her. I said, he's not going to be behind. He's a good athlete. So then I said, okay, let me break it down to you. I said, you know how you panic. I mean, she's a panic mom. I said, imagine him getting hurt. I said, When I turned to you and said, Dallas, I said, you'd be on the field, over the fence. Yeah. And she said, yeah, you're right. Yeah. I said, no, he's not bad.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
GBF- Super Week: Funny Marco, Simms, Annie Agar, Dolphins, Stellato
I don't want that for him yet. Now, he talked to me about it. I said, son, let me explain. I said, Dallas, you're 12. I said, okay, you're going to play football at 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. Okay, that's grade school to high school. I said, now you play college. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
