Gary Brecka

You were a kid one time too.

You know, I sat down with a two-time Super Bowl champion.

He was, his name is Billy Davis.

He was a wide receiver and very dominant during his career.

He took the Cowboys to the Super Bowl, if that tells you the era that he played in.

And I asked him the same question and he told me this story about how,

he would, cause I said, how did you fight like the fame and stardom and the notoriety?

And how did you not just go after all the pleasures of the flesh?

I mean, your boys are going to nightclubs and they're drinking and you went from being not someone who means, and then all of a sudden you're wealthy.

And so you're getting pulled in all these directions.

There's women, there's booze, there's all kinds of distractions.

And he said, there was a moment when I would,

I would break off the line and he said, I'd be running down the field full at 100%.

Like literally I did not have one ounce of effort left in my body.

And he said, I could be in a stadium with 70,000 people, but I could hear one voice, someone just saying, go Billy.

And I would look down the sideline and I would see that the trumpet player was too close to the sideline.

And I knew that I was gonna get knocked out right there.

And I was actually gonna collide with the trumpet player.

And he said, I could feel the ball snap.

Like the ball would just go up in the air.
