like podcasting it's it's your views likes comments hey what are they like you kind of move in that direction of what you're comfortable doing right i'm not going to go be an only fans model that's just not what i want to do with my life you kind of dabble in it yeah the croissant picture i think the internet's gonna internet because the croissant picture they took that bad boy and ran with it's a very good meme
It is a solid meme. I was told today that I'm in the Internet Hall of Fame because of that meme. But the reception that I got after the news broke and I cracked the joke about Friday and then I posted the basically farewell from ESPN and, you know, I miss my colleagues and the people behind the camera and the teams that I got to work with. The reception from the fans let me know, hey –
They told me that, hey, you're going to be replacing Randy Moss. And I'm like, I don't know if I want to do that, guys. Like Randy Moss is a legend. Straight cash, homie. He Randy Moss was actually the person that got me on Monday Night Countdown in the first place. Oh, wow. I was going I was at ESPN my first year, 2021, and I was going there to read the Heisman finalists. That's it.
Hey, a Heisman finalist has to do it. We need you on the show. I read it. It's in Buffalo. It's the coldest game I've ever been to in my life. And I didn't have a jacket because in Buffalo, if it says it's, you know, 45 degrees, it's really not 45 degrees. OK, it's it more feels like it's 15 degrees. And Randy stopped me in the truck and said, do you want to do come on, man? No, it wasn't.
Come on, man. Do you want to do you got mossed? So then the producer's like, yeah, I mean, Randy, if you want him in there, we'll put him in there. And I'm like, yeah, sure, I'll do You Got Mossed. That was my first hit on Monday Night Countdown. Next thing I know, I'm on Monday Night Countdown the next year, and it was because Randy wanted to move to Sunday Countdown. Ah.
So it wasn't that I was replacing him there, it was he didn't wanna travel anymore. And now I know we see some of the health things that he's talked about, he's going through. I kinda understand why he wanted to make that transition. So when they bring me on, they're trying to find something. We need to liven up the show. I get on and it's the Seahawks game.
And I'm like, like, hey, what do you think we can do? I thought about it for a couple of weeks and I came back to the producer and his name was Greg Shapiro. And I said, why don't I just race the hawk? what do you mean race the Hawk? You can't beat a Hawk in a race. I'm like, I think I could beat him in a race. So I didn't tell anyone on the production side why I thought I could win the race.
But then when I ran, I beat the Hawk.
And Booger was like repping me saying I didn't win. So then we did it again the following year. And I blew him out even worse this time because I had football cleats on.
I did my research ahead of time. You're like, what kind of bird is it? It's an osprey? No, no. It's the fact that the type of hawk that it was, because seahawks don't exist, by the way. It's just a hawk. So they can fly up to 120 miles per hour when they're hunting. When they're going down. When they're going down into the water and they're hunting, they fly at 120 miles per hour.
But they don't fly that fast when they're just gliding. So they made me have to take off when the Hawk took off because I raced it first before they aired it and blew it out by like 25 yards. So I had to run again. And they made me take off when he did so he could actually have a chance to beat me. And I beat him the first time and then obviously blew him out the second time. But there's no...
I always tell people, don't be afraid to try new things. Just do your research. I knew he wasn't going to beat me in that race. They didn't. And the person at home certainly didn't know. It's just like, RG3 just beat a wild animal.
The hawk was embarrassed. And the handler was so mad because the first year when I beat it, he was like, We're going to race again, and he's going to be ready. In the second year, I said, I'm just going to throw on some football cleats so I can have a little bit more grip. Oh, that's awesome.
I didn't know how to slide.
There was a rumor that they did that, but that never happened.
And then made it seem like I turned it down.
It never happened.
Yeah, I mean, it's a lot. I will say in Trevor Lawrence's specific example, I've had two concussions from that same exact thing. In Washington, we were playing the Atlanta Falcons, and Sean Witherspoon did the same thing to me. I was sliding near the sideline, last second slide, even later than, because I don't think Trevor slid late. I think his was just the guy formed in the face.
But I did slide late. Witherspoon hit me, bounced my head off the ground. I was out for the rest of the game. In college, I was playing against Texas Tech in Jerry's World, running towards the sideline, slid, boom, got my head bounced off the ground. In college, that probably – that situation that Trevor just went through happened to me at least six times. And this is 2011, right?
Defenders are trying to get as many licks as they can on the quarterback. So when they see you slide – They're going to try to give you something. I'm not saying that they're trying to put you out the game, but they're trying to give you something to prevent you from thinking it's sweet. Right. They want you to know that it's sour.
