That was the lowest of lows last year when we lost, and then Kels retired. And everything got better.
I appreciate y'all having me, for real. This is an honor, man. I appreciate it.
You know what? I'm living good. In the facility every day, working out. I know. Getting that rehab and figuring out next steps for real.
Man, thank you. Man, it's definitely going to be different, but I'm excited for what's to come because, as you know, I can figure out a way to trash talk in this area too.
Man, you know what? Baby girl's doing good. Gymnastics is the queen for her life. Yes, nice. And right now, baby boy is all over. He got baseball. Just started opening day yesterday. That's what I'm talking. Yeah.
Yeah, it's cool. And he love it. You know, he got some lacrosse. He's playing with second graders now. He's in kindergarten. What? But he don't like lacrosse, but he is really good at it. But he just don't, like he just, I love that I know what he do and don't like, but you never know it changes.
But to see him, even though I didn't grow up on lacrosse, seeing how it's played, the rules and stuff like that, it's kind of cool to see him do his thing. And then, of course, flag football is one that he liked because he's been around football.
So my wife, she used to get on me like, hey, make sure you write down little bullet points for that day when it do come, if it's this year or next year, whatever year. But just make sure you just write down things. So you can remember who's been a real big impact in your life and all this stuff. So I had notes that I was just writing. It helped. And man, it hit me though.
Like how it hit you probably, man. It just, when I seen everybody looking back at me and I knew this was the moment where it was over. Woo. Been doing this a long time. And I was just thinking about it. Oh man. It's, it's, you put all this work in for these amount of years. And man, it's like, even from little league all the way up to now, it's like, man, this all I know this every off season.
It's like, man, I'm about to get ready. I got to get my body right. Get it right. And now it's more of now I'm trying to get it right to look good instead of that's my new motivation. I want to look good. I want to be on the beach where I can take my shirt off, you know, hairy and all, hairy and all, but looking ripped up. They don't want to see this.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. You already know. That was so cool. I wanted to do something so Philly, man. That was it. That was a Philly thing where I was like, man, where can I hang my cleats up somewhere in Philly? And I was like, ooh, the statue, Rocky Steps.
For sure. And, man, they did it. They did it for me. The Eagles brought their team down. We met out early that morning at 8 o'clock and be like, hey, we got an announcement at 12. Yeah. it just worked out so good, man. And that's how I know this was the right, it was the right choice. Cause of course I call Howie like, Hey, I can still cancel this thing, man. What's up?
I'm going to be totally honest with you. I wanted to give it another run because I got hurt. And I was like, man, I got a, I got a whole bunch left that I can still do. And I was going really this year would have been the real last year for sure. If he would have kind of granted that, but he was like, man, it's such a storybook ending. And man, that's what I said in my prayer.
When I walked in, I prayed before I had went in the day before I was like, okay, Lord, I'm going to just, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, you just leave me on this. And when I walked in, I was like, I'm going to put it in his hands. If we don't come to a conclusion that we can do it again, I ain't even going to fight it. So when I walk in, he's like, BG, what you want to do?
I say, man, what you want me to do? Because you know my heart. You know my heart. You know my heart. He was like, BG, this is such a fairytale ending, man. I can't let you. I can't let you, man. Like you got to go out on top. And when he said fairytale, I was like, all right, Lord, I'm done. I'm done. I didn't even fight it after that.
And so I just felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulder when it happened. And I was like, okay, I don't have to fight, fight no more. I ain't got to fight no more. Cause man, I had this chip on my shoulder for so long on like, just people like what you said, man, like I'm a bus and all that stuff. I carry that every year as motivation to go out there and make sure I'm working.
But my family for sure was, you know, my biggest motivation, but that was one that I always was like, man, how are we going to want to get rid of me? And you kind of play, play that game in your head. and that's why you train hard and you go hard and make them sacrifices that you know that's hard to make, like eating food and all that stuff because you want to look good, all that.
Well, stripping that ball on Brady, man, that helped me out a lot. Because I didn't like in Philly at first, man. I'm telling you. Like, Philly fans was so tough, man, and it just wasn't. It just... It just wasn't everything I wanted it to be. But like you say, coming from Detroit, being a fighter, not knowing that, hey, this your first real adversity is like, how are you going to fight back?
And so I think for me, having like guys like Trent and having guys like JP in my head, like, hey, man, like if Chip Kelly wants you to play special teams, go play special teams. Be the best at it, man. Like no sense of crying about it because I used to be like, man, I ain't never played special teams when Coach Reed was here. And now I got to do this, play all four. And it was an opportunity.
And so I even still use that story today for the guys because, man, once I really had my mindset of, man, I'm going to do it, it turned into something that I didn't even know that it would turn into where I'm on kickoff. And them boys putting two or three on me because I'm running through the wedge. And whoever was the one that I ran through, they needed two people. Yes, sir.
