Deebo & Joe - REACTION to Eagles SURVIVING vs. Cowboys + Jalen Carter SPITTING on Dak Prescott

23:20I come in Tuesday for treatment and I saw almost every guy in the locker room. This is the first time I've seen this. He said, he goes on and say, that just shows how much these guys want to be here. They just want to be around. They just want to be around each other.

23:38James Harrison:What's up, fam? I'm sports journalist Ari Chambers. Hey, what's up, y 'all? It's your girl, Sam Jay.

And the conversations that start during the game and somehow keep going all week.

24:38James Harrison:Hey, Portlandia fans. Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen here. You know us, or rather, you know them. Tony and Candice, Nina and Lance, Spike, and yes, the chicken.

Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Kreisel, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more. Kyle is going for it here.

25:46James Harrison:This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea. Every week, the news gets worse, the world gets crazier, and Yamanika is here to tell whoever's responsible, you're the problem. If you come over here to play games, I'ma check you, okay? If you do some s*** in the news that don't sound good, I'ma play you. Join Yamanika Saunders as she breaks down the week's most problematic stories on her new podcast, You're the Problem, with Yamanika. Do you know I just found out who Sidney Sweeney was? New episodes weekly every Wednesday as part of my new network, the Dear Chelsea Network. If he got a bunch of women, then I should have a bunch of men.

26:24James Harrison:Do better or do less so I don't have to do so much. So join Yamanika each episode as she answers one question. Who's the problem? I'm Yamanika and I'm out. Listen to You're the Problem with Yamanika on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

26:46each other and hang out. I think that's important. And when you're around guys like that, it makes it exciting to come to work. Do you think he was taking a dig at his former team or do you think he's just excited to have an opportunity to be on a team?

27:03James Harrison:That man, Debo, that man is in Wisconsin. There ain't nothing to do out there. Everybody's at the facility getting right, chilling, getting treatment for sure. Where are we going to be? What are we going to do? So understandably, I think that Micah got to understand. It's like Wisconsin is a little different than Dallas. But I understand when you come into a new spot, you're bringing that good energy. You're saying what you see. I think that it's dope that everybody's in the facility. You know, I think everybody's getting that treatment, getting that work in early. Dallas, Tuesday's the day off, Debo.

27:38James Harrison:We know this. What are people doing on Tuesdays? That's your time that you don't have to come to the facility, actually. you can chill you can do what you want to do so being that in he's saying wisconsin everybody's there they're getting treatment i was meeting people on a tuesday that's the day off so he's saying everybody's in the facility maybe in dallas finally the day off people aren't in there as much you know i'm saying you can come get your lifted you cannot but i think he's saying i'm i'm looking at like dude they're in the facility you're in wisconsin everybody's coming in the facility because you're getting treatment, getting their body rights a thousand percent.

28:12James Harrison:But I don't think it's that serious. I don't see it as a dig at the Cowboys. I see it as him being exposed to a different locker room, a different way of moving. So from the time I was in Pittsburgh from 2002 until probably 2012, that's what we had. We had a group of dudes that were in there. Everybody were in there together. We hung out on the off time. you know we'd go out hang out do whatever go out kick it and first thing in the morning you know 6 37 o 'clock you're in the gym at the latest working out getting it going and that's just the you know that's just the atmosphere that those players from that time to us passed down and it it just continued and to to be honest with you like as it went further and further in 2012 I ended up going to uh Cincinnati in 13 and you know I came back unretired and was back in 14 and it wasn't it wasn't the same you know what I'm saying you didn't have the same where it was a whole you know like team thing you had you had your little cut up groups you know what I mean like you had your groups like maybe it was offense defense where before it was just everybody you know I'm saying when Bussie and all them was there it was everybody now it was a little more offense defense and then it even got you know some things got cut down even more than that you know it was positionally you know it might be you know receivers and and and dvs and all that so i understand what he's saying he's not taking a knock he's being exposed to something else that he didn't think would happen because that's that's all he was exposed to this is something new and he likes it he's enjoying it and he'm not he's not taking a knock at somebody else.

29:58He's saying I'm seeing something else and it's good. I like it. I want more of it. I love that.

30:02James Harrison:I love that. No, for sure. Like you said too, in Cleveland, you just different. Like when I went from, in Cleveland on Tuesdays, like you said, this is a day off. You have, like you said, positional groups. We were really cool. Defenses get tight. But when I came to Pittsburgh, Will Gay and those dudes, they will always have some stuff like those defensive meetings. There was like mandatory kick-its. You know what I'm saying? Like not really mandatory, but dudes wanted to hang out. Like, we're going to watch this film, and we're going to get some good food, like, and just really bond and be able to talk and really be able to get this camaraderie.

30:35James Harrison:So there's different, and that's what I was trying to do when I was in Cleveland at first, some OGs, Abe Elam. Dudes that do it, you kind of, like I said, you just fall into it because the OG going to tell you kind of where we going, where we meeting at, and that's what you're going to do. And then when you become an OG, you want to set that thing up too with the food, making sure everybody's good. So they feel a part. Everybody knows we in this together. End of the day, we grinded. We figuring it out. But meeting and us doing these little out of the, off the team of coaches is not here. This is what makes me know your family.

31:05James Harrison:What makes me feel like we are actually bonding, you know what I'm saying, getting along that camaraderie. So I understand exactly what you're saying from that perspective because that's a real thing. Maybe they weren't doing as much in Dallas. Like you said, the OGs probably didn't bring them in as much, didn't like take them out to dinners or show them the way, you know what I'm saying, people want to get led. And now he goes there, it's a whole different vibe. Dang, I got somebody really like, oh, dang, that's what's good. Like, boom, so this is what we're doing. And everybody's just kicking it, cooling that.

31:30James Harrison:He's like, man, these dudes are some good-ass dudes. Right, right, right. Speaking of people that was doing things the way he just found out they're doing them, I guess Stefan Diggs' decision to not speak to the Boston media rubbed the local reporters the wrong way. It says Diggs apologized, I guess, for coming off Rube. He said, obviously, I don't want to come across as that. Well, they said he was a pain in the posterior. Yeah. Dude, my braces be locking me up, bro. Posterior, posterior. Yeah. He was a pain in the ass. Obviously, they said posterior. So it wasn't one of us. But he said, obviously, I don't want to come across as that.

32:20I'm going to say this I want to be very clear I'm an adult, I apologize I'm not up here to ego trip I'm not up here to rub anybody the wrong way or say anything that's clickbait if I rubbed anyone wrong I really want to apologize so like, you know, the man said he's up there, he's trying to lock in, he's making sure he takes care of his body, he takes care of his mind you know it's camp he didn't want to get you know into the whole rigmarole yet you know and right now I guess you know you're at the point where it's mandatory now you know so he's doing what it is that he has to do right now but you know at that point in camp he was saying he wanted to lock in and I guess the the two uh individuals they actually uh I guess had a little apology too Do you think that that's something that you would do or that – do you think he was actually just locking in or do you think he was just being an a-hole, as they say?

33:27A pain to – I can't even say the word, bro.

33:30James Harrison:I don't think – I know Diggs personally. That's my other man. He's from the DMV. We're from the same area. Like, I know him. I know his brother, all of them. And Diggs is a really, really good dude. I would say that, you know, he had a lot of off the field stuff really going on. You know what I'm saying? He was in a situation. So he just wanted to keep it football. He's in a new team, knows what they're trying to talk about. And he really wants to keep the man thing the man thing. Coming off an injury, he knows he got some stuff to prove. And I think he's going to do it. So I don't think he was trying to be an asshole.

34:00James Harrison:He just knows that people are trying to make the story not what it is. And he just wants to keep it on football. And the only way is to stay away from the media, just stay off of it right now. really lock in, try to be the Patriot way of, oh, like, don't really worry about that. You know what I'm saying? You're locked in. You got, you're trying to do football. You know what I'm saying? So I understand where he's coming from. And now just getting back to the media, you're going to have to respond. You're going to talk. So I think he really, really genuinely does want to apologize, really did do that genuinely from his heart because he's a good dude.

34:30James Harrison:He doesn't mean any harm, but he knows how the media is and they can tie things up and try to make him look crazy. So staying away from him is a way like you're not going to be able to confuse nothing if I don't say nothing, if I don't talk to y 'all. You know what I'm saying? I think that was great. You can't mix up my words. If I don't say nothing to you, then it ain't nothing that you confuse. All you can say is that I'm going to ask him because I don't want to talk to you. You know what I'm saying? So that's the most you can say. That's what they were saying. He's not talking to us, so fuck him.

34:56James Harrison:But basically, he's like, you're not going to be able to say nothing because I'm really locked in. I'm on my football. You haven't seen nothing about Diggs. I love that man. So I'm rooting for him. I hope the best, nothing but the best for Diggs. So I think that that's what he was on. Like, nah, don't get this confused. I really got, I'm on a new team. I'm coming off injury. I'm trying to ball out. That's what it is. Yeah, so let's get over here to the NFLPA. I guess the NFLPA interim director, David White, says an 18-game schedule is not inevitable. What do you think of that comment, bro? Man, they tripping.

35:28They just trying to get more and more back. As far as him saying that it's not inevitable for me, that's an absolute lie. That is inevitable. That is going to be one of the things that the NFL is going to want when it comes time for them to renegotiate this new collective bargaining agreement. with that being said him not saying it's not inevitable it is inevitable it's it's it's going to happen and if you're saying that it's not I don't believe you're you you've got yourself into a situation that you understand he's lying to you what is going on obviously and you haven't been through the history of how this whole thing has went down I don't know if you were playing when Gene Upshaw was the, in the position that he's in now as the executive director.

36:27So when Gene was in there, he had told us, dude, this was like 2007, 2008. He was like, yo, the NFL is going to lock you out. You guys need to save up money and you need to save up 100 % of what it is that you make over the course of the next, I believe he said, two or three years at that time, to make sure you can make it through a 12-month lockout. Because he said, come 2011, they're going to lock us out. He ended up not making it to that. He ended up passing, I believe it was 2008. And then we got the worst commissioner to ever, I mean, we got the worst executive director to ever have, and that was D.

37:14Smith. D. Smith did everything possible to just increase the power that he had. As the NFLPA, you know, executive director for the players, it wasn't anything. You know what I'm saying? He made it to where he took a lot of the power away from the players, being able to make the decisions of who could actually even be voted in as a executive director. He put a whole executive committee together that actually voted on who would run against him. The committee he put together voted on who would run against him and took that vote away from the players, where before the players actually made the vote of, you know, who it is they wanted to run.

38:13And then from there, they voted on, you know, who would do it. I don't believe David White has a good understanding. Prime example, I went down to the facility yesterday, the Steelers facility yesterday, and he was supposed to be down there. I believe it was him, Don Davis, who is the chief player officer, and uh Jalen Maven I believe is his name I really don't know he's supposed to be the president of uh active players he's not even an active player right now himself he's not even on a roster but they were supposed to be there and this is supposed to be his very first trip to Pittsburgh and he doesn't even show up no bruh he he doesn't even he doesn't even show up for it Right.

39:01So now, like even D. Smith, as bad as he was, came when he was supposed to show up. So you're telling me that's the interim executive director for his first trip introduction to the group of guys he's supposed to be, you know, out here working for and defending doesn't even show up. your chief uh officer your what is it your chief player officer he doesn't he doesn't show up all three of these dudes don't show up and on top of that did they did they did they send a message did they send an email no no no i knew of nothing why they weren't showing up you had a couple other um nfl pa reps that showed up that assumed that they were already there and I'm like, no, they're not there.

39:55They're not on the field. So, you know, the NFLPA leadership, dude, is weak at every level. We need strong leadership. We need competent leadership.

40:07James Harrison:You're not going to show up. Here's the crazy thing, bro. That just doesn't make any sense. Before the last one, I went and was like, yo, I want to run for executive director. I told Don Davis this. he never dropped my name in a hat. I know this for a fact because I talked to a person that is now executive committee and you know why that happened? Because he was trying to get it. Debo, what was it? I was currently trying to get it now. But again, man, I'm running for executive director. My name will be in a hat. It will be there. So, So the leadership that we need is a guy that is like Gene Upshaw was.

40:54He was a guy that played the game. He understands what we go through. He understands what happens. Like, I'm a guy. I was a practice squad guy. I was a guy that was a minimum guy. I was a guy that actually made money. And I'm a guy that's retired right now. So I know all the things that we go through, that we've been through. and you're going to go through when that time comes that you're, you know, done with football or football is done with you, you know, and it's just, you know, the difficulty. I'll just bring up one little thing, like your HRA, you know, you got all that money in your HRA, right?

41:30And that's for your, that's for, you know, when you get done, you got your health reimbursement stuff, so you can get your insurance paid and all that stuff, right? Well, for you to get that reimbursement, the money's here, right? The money's here, but the money is there. But what you got to do to get to it, you don't know it's a field of broken glass you got to crawl through. Dude, it took me almost two hours and 34 minutes just to get back 50 bucks of reimbursement of a credit thing. And that was only because I got lucky and got a hold of a signal person that sat down there with me and actually called the other insurance company.

42:06It's things like that that guys are running into. So when you have guys that are retired and they're like, you know, I can't get this, I can't get that. And you know, you tell him, get your HRA. Well, yeah, it's there. He just can't get to it because he got to crawl across this glass that he can't get to. And if you're a guy that has a regular nine to five, they're only open regular hours. So you don't have the time to sit there and do all that to actually, you know, go through if you learn it. I actually talked to four different people before I got one guy that actually sat down there with me on the phone for, like I said, two hours and 34 minutes and went through the process to show me how it was done.

42:41With that being said, I'm just concerned that as interim, I hope it's just the interim because we need somebody in there that knows exactly what we go through, what we're going to go through, that can go in there and actually speak for the players, that's trying to make it better for the players and not trying to make it better for them to keep power, position, and money. That's all I would say.

43:07James Harrison:No, I ain't going to lie to you, D-Bo. You're speaking facts, brother. You are. Because at the end of the day, you're not coming to – you're not looking for any – you don't want to gain anything. You want to help people out. Like, you've been in a situation, like you said, you were undrafted. You ended up being minimum. You had a contract, and now you're retired, grown, kids, everything. The whole situation. So you've seen it on so many different levels that you're not trying to act a certain way. You just know that it's hard once you get retired and trying to figure some stuff out of the situations, like just how to how to how to continue to keep going.

43:40James Harrison:And you just want to look out for the dudes that are in the league that know this your time is going to come. You know what I'm saying? Like you is sweet once it is. But once you get out, you really need to have people that are trying to protect you and not looking for a game, not looking for their self to literally date. You don't want it for yourself. You're looking out for the next generation. So I think that's exactly I can't get nothing from it now. I'm done. It's about the future of the guys. I'm with you. What's the position that we're looking for you to get, D-Bo? We want you to be president.

44:09We want me to be the executive director of the NFLPA. Executive director. That's what we're shooting for.

44:16James Harrison:That is what we're going for, dude. I'm done. Okay? Look, it's done. Executive director of the NFLPA. D-Bo, because I ain't going to lie to you, though. I love when it matches. It's not like we're trying to do something that doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense. You deserve to be the NFL executive director or the NFLPA because you're going to do what needs to be done for the players. You're not trying to get over. You're trying to look out, and that's what the NFLPA is supposed to do. Look out for the players. Look out for the guys. I think when Gene passed and it was passed over or they voted for D.

44:55Smith, it it didn't become that like no longer did we hear a stave up is going to be a locked out and all that other stuff like he was telling us that like in 2007 gene was telling us that in 2007 yo they're gonna lock us out you need you guys need to save up and make sure you can make it through a year he got in there and all of a sudden it was like yeah you know what happened to what you know gene was saying you know oh and then come the last hour they're like oh yeah um they're gonna to lock you out we're going to try and help guys with this and that dude if guys had listened from the very beginning and you continue to push that as you should have instead of it being a oh we could they could lock us out so make sure you save something then guys wouldn't have been able to hold out but at the end of the day even though the guys that you know were able to do it or wasn't able to do it the the message should have been the same yeah and when it came down to it you should have the guy as the executive director to do the hard thing and make it to where guys would get exactly what they wanted some people got to learn hard lessons the hard way everybody was told the same thing yeah so just because you know he told me well you know james we had a certain percentage of guys that just you know they wanted to go back they couldn't i'm like dude you're not there for a certain percentage of guys you're there for everybody you're there for the nflp the nflpa that's all players not the ones that just didn't listen like you're trying to make it better i'm not gonna let my son do something that i know is not going to benefit him in his future just because he's he wants to do it right now short or he he right he wants something for the short term you know like it just it just it just didn't make sense man and you know you go that long just to come out with a deal that you know it wasn't even worth going through the fight of it like it wasn't even a fight when it came down to it yeah so I guess uh I guess Devontae Adams, when he was dealt to the Jets last year, he asked the rookie receiver, Malachi, I guess, for his 17.

47:21He offered him$17 ,000 in exchange for number 17. According to Devontae, man, he told him he need a million.

47:33James Harrison:God! A million?

47:40You said, hey, man, it's good to have you. Happy to have you on the squad, but I need a million. I'm going to need a whole meal ticket for that one. But I'm going to need a million. Who is that? Corley, Malachi Corley, who is that? I don't know.

47:58James Harrison:I'm trying to think. I got a little bruh up, but I don't. Acting for a million is wild. That's out of control. Acting for a million is crazy. I had to pay when I was in the Browns, when I first got there, it threw me in the craziest, stankiest number you could ever imagine. I was in number 40. And then I had to get that thing off to Peyton Hillis. And I bought number 23 for 20 bands. As a rookie, I bought that joint for 20 bands. And then when I came to Pittsburgh, my man Mike Mitchell, shout out Mike Mitchell. I tried to buy 23 off Mike Mitchell. right what do you say what do you say oh do you want to know oh i gotta oh yeah so first i tried to pop off boom i got 20 bands for you mike not rocking laughed at that laughed at the 20 all right back i got 50 for you mike laughed at that i got 75 for you mike laughed at that last thing mike because he know he got to buy another number we got rob g there 21 i say I got 200 bands for you, Mike.

49:09James Harrison:He was like, no, I got my foundation and everything under my jersey, under 2-3. I said, oh, man, well, I can't do nothing for you then. So then Mike kept the 23. That's what my rookie year, I had 21. Ended up buying it off Rob G for the 20 bands. Rob G was Geechee. No question. You know what I'm saying? He went to 20. No question. Like nothing happened. Oh, he was ecstatic. Took that 20 so fast. Rob G, great man. Love Rob G. So now I was in the 21, and then next year, they ended up letting go of my man, Mike Mitchell, and then I got 23 for free. That was the crazy part. Yeah, I ain't going to lie.

49:45I might have... Somebody offered me a hundred bucks. Bro, I tried to start up at 22, and Mike laughed at me so hard.

49:52James Harrison:So then I just tried to go. 50, 70. I ain't going to lie, I ought to laugh too. But once you got to that hundred bucks, I would have been like... I said, man, look, Mike. I don't look. Because he was like, man, I might have... It's just a number. I don't have nothing. Mike, I'm going to give you this$100 ,000 and you're going to give me number 23. Cash. Ah, cash. In your hand. $100 ,000 American currency. Cash in your hand. Buy. Dollars. And he said, ah, no. No, after that, I'm going number 21. Yeah, so I went to... What's up, fam? I'm sports journalist Ari Chambers. Hey, what's up, y 'all? It's your girl, Sam Jay.

53:35Uh, what was it, New England? And it was a dude that had 92. And I'm like, yo, let me, you know, let me get 92, what you want for it? Dude. Hey, I don't even remember what his name was, but he blessed your boy. You know what he said? What he said? Three grand.

53:55James Harrison:Oh, you need to send him a Christmas card. I can't remember his name, bro. Man, we got to find whoever was 92 when you went there. We can find him because I love him. I ain't going to lie. I ain't going to lie to you. I wasn't going to pay much. No, no, no. For sure. For sure. He said right around the number. You was like this. That three was cool, though. That three bands. He was like this. Hey, he said, dude, if it depends on what's up, I wasn't going to be like, no, man. What? I'm here for like two months, bro. He was like, yeah. He's like, three. I'm like, say less. Here, cash out my. Oh, for sure.

54:30Cash out you three, man. Dang. No question, dude. Yeah, but I ain't going to lie. That's crazy. He showed up. I thought he was going to do something, you know, something out of control. Oh, my goodness.

54:42James Harrison:No, Devo, I'm happy for your story. Yeah. Oh, no. Yes. I'm out 40 for two numbers. Here's the crazy thing. So when I unretired, I came back and it was a guy that I believe he had 92, but he hadn't made like like active or whatever it was. So they basically just, you know, just got it from him. However, however it went, if he was actually active, I wouldn't have been able to switch into the number like when I came in. So because of the timing of the season when it started. so if he had actually got active and onto the field he would have been holding on to the number yeah oh that actually worked out perfectly oh yeah dude that worked out to no end bro yeah so my guy rc says that uh tom brady was not a generational talent at quarterback this is this can't be right is this real he said i think i think john elway was a generational talent.

55:43I think Patrick Mahomes is a generational talent. I don't think Tom Brady. I don't think Drew Brees. I don't think Peyton Manning are generational talents.

55:55I didn't hear this. He said this on TV? I didn't. That's what it's saying that was said. I don't. Huh?

56:11James Harrison:I think, does he say I can see Drew Brees, but not like, huh? I think, was he saying like, does he have to see athleticism to be a generational? I don't know, man. I'm not going to run with this one right here, to be honest with you, because I just absolutely do not understand the whole concept of it. I'm trying to find out what he said, she said to me. Yeah, I'm trying to find out how. It can only be athletically. Athletically? Dude, if I'm talking about the position of quarterback and I'm like all the intangibles of what I need as a quarterback. And I have a line to protect him. I have a running game to assist him.

56:56My quarterback, I'm not going to lie to you, is going to be Tom Brady. He's going to walk you down the field and win. Yeah, like he's going to see it, get to it. you know

57:07James Harrison:and he did it again in Tampa oh 40 I just I don't know I don't know why he would say that about Tom I have no clue brother yep I'm not going to let that one go Amari Cooper he told I can relate to this I ain't going to lie to you I can relate to this so Amari Cooper informed the team that he no longer has a desire to play and intends to retire, right? Mm-hmm. But what do you think of that? Didn't he just sign like a week ago, right? I don't. Did he just sign? And he just retired? With the Raiders, right? I believe it was. Went back to, yeah, I want to say it was a week ago. So he had to be there.

57:55James Harrison:So like, yeah. I mean, you know what it is, Debo? If he just signed a week ago, that means he didn't do training camp, didn't do none of that. So he went back, got into the grind, and really was like, ah, you know, like I don't love it. It's about to be a whole season of this, you know? And, I mean, he's played 10 years. Amari Cooper, at the end of the day, I mean, he made some money, you know? At the end of the day, they're not getting any slower. They're not getting any weaker out there. These dudes are out there trying to get it. Everybody, every year, new NFL season. The NFL is not a game.

58:31James Harrison:It's not nowhere you just, oh, yeah, I'm just jumping on there and just go play with these. No, you're going to get hurt. You're going to get smacked out there. They're not playing. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not a game. They're playing no games. No, you don't just go play football, NFL football. No, that's a business decision when you go out there and join it that you're making with your body and your life. It's a 100 % business decision. But it's also, well, for me, when I came back and unretired, I was done. I was good, bro. and I had, you know, I had Kiesel call me. It's like, you know, 4.30 in the morning.

59:08I'm getting up to get ready to go work out. I get a call. Kiesel's like, hey, you ready to come back? I'm like, no. What you talking about? Man, we got this down. We got that down. I'm like, I don't, hey, brother, I don't know what you're talking about. I ain't coming back. You know, I'm done bunt. And then, you know, I got a call from Troy and Troy's like, yo, we're going to need you to come back and da da da da da da da. I'm like Troy listen brother I'm not coming back. I'm good bro. I'm happy I'm out here living life you know what I'm saying. I'm feeling good bro and then Ike called me. He fresh out of surgery.

59:43He just broke his forearm and he like bro we need you. I said alright hold up I tell y 'all what I do. It's a good feeling to be wanted brother. You got the homies hitting you Well you know I played so long with them dudes. That's my brothers. You know my kids call them uncles. That's uncles. Them uncles. That's Uncle Troy. That's Uncle Keith. Those are their uncles. So I'm like, you know what? I don't want to feel like I'm letting my brothers down. I said, but if my kids say no, bro, that's going to be it. I'm not doing it. So I'm like, I'm going to call my kids. I'm going to see what they say.

1:00:18And I'm like, if they say no, that's it. If they say yeah, then I do it. And that was after I'd already you know, spent that year in Cincinnati and I really, you know, I really just didn't want to be away. So I called my kids. I'm like, yo, Hey, I actually, uh, had them on FaceTime, made sure, uh, it was recorded. I had, I had to show proof when they said no, which I just knew they was going to say no. Right. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, Hey, you know, daddy got a chance to, uh, you know, come back and play football. Um, so you guys, you would have to wait you know to get into your contact football you still be doing you're doing flag all that whatever it was like okay um but uh where where you know where it's gonna be i'm like it's in pittsburgh it's like all right cool yeah yeah you could do that i'm like damn they hyped they did not do it so get into fast forward into that first week where amari is that right now that first week i was supposed to get like 15 snaps so i'm preparing myself but as i'm going through that week of practice, bro.

1:01:24The second day, I come in, you know, the soreness setting in for the next day, but it don't really set in until that Thursday. Dude, if it wasn't for the fact that my daddy told me, you start, you finish what you start, I was going to give them whatever they wanted to let me get up out of there. My body was hurting so bad, dude, and I was only out of it for like an off season and like maybe the first two, three weeks of the season, dude. Bruh, you talking about taking anything I could to try and kill the pain, try and knock down the inflammation, the swelling, laying in, like I was cold plunging before cold plunging was cool, bruh.

1:02:11I was to my neck up in that thing, bruh. Like I'm just, and I'm sitting there, I'm sitting at my locker. And so we go through the week. We end up playing Tampa. And Coach T comes through the locker room. So now, you know, I'm into the second week. I'm feeling better. I'm feeling good. And he's like, how you feeling? I'm like, oh, I'm good. No, he said, yeah. He said, I was going to come over and talk to you on Thursday. He said, but it looked like you was making decisions in your head. And I didn't want to give you an opportunity to step out of this.

1:02:46James Harrison:It was all over your eyes. It was all over my face, man. I guess he, man. Yeah. So when you get into that, especially with him being out of it, just signing that week, I totally understand what he's talking about. I could see how it could happen because, like I said, I was in that position. And that is not an easy position to be in, especially as you get older, man. You're like, I got this sitting in the bank, man. Do I really want to do this? you know and for me i i continued because you know your body hardened back up to it and then i like he said i fell back in you know in love with the process the game and all that ended up signing a you know a couple more years and even when i went to um new england dude i could have went back to new england and bill was like uh i want to bring you back but i want to wait till after the draft so that i don't tell you something that's not true i want to i'm gonna be able to tell you exactly what your role is going to be.

1:03:42So, you know, I want to sign you after the draft. And that way, you know, I won't tell you anything that's not true. We can go from there. I'm like, all right, cool. And the more I sat back, I'm like, dude, I just don't want to be away from home again. And it's just not something I want to do. And I was like, you know what? I got to retire because if he offers it to me, I know I'm going to take it because I love the game. I want to play the game. And I was like, yeah, I got to retire before that happens. Because once I started, I got to finish it. No, for sure.

1:04:11James Harrison:So, man, that's good, though, Devo, that you can even do that. Your body, the way that you work out, the way that you maintain yourself, though, is a true testament. I ain't going to lie. Because once I stopped and I retired, I stopped, like, the treatment, just taking care of my body to be able to stay elite. Like, there's no off-season when you're in the NFL. So, when you stop for real and, like, stop working out, stop getting that massage and stop getting that treatment, then I did it for a year. And then once that happened, then my body was kind of – I was out of the way. I can tell you still lifting up the whole gym.

1:04:43James Harrison:So I can tell you still stay in the shape. Yeah, I ain't lifting up the whole gym. I'm just I'm still taking care of my body, though. I'm just not doing it, you know, to the level that I was when I was playing. I'm not, you know, I'm not seeing a chiropractor twice a week. I'm not seeing, you know, my docs and, you know, for IVs and all that stuff twice a week. I'm doing, you know, acupuncture, dry needling every week, all that. You know, I'm doing normal massage maybe once a week, some acupuncture once a week, and I'll see my chiro. You know, maybe. It depends on how I feel, to be honest with you.

1:05:19You know, it may be every, you know, month, every couple months. It just really depends on how I feel. How often are you working out, Debo? That's what I need to know. Five to six days a week. Well, five to seven days a week. Okay. Okay. Yeah, it just depends. Is it certain days they call it? Actual weightlifting, though, is only five days a week. I cut that down. It used to be six. So I'm Monday through Friday with weights and, you know, cardio, whatever it may be, you know, through the six day.

1:05:52James Harrison:I got to get you in the gym with my dad. My dad was like, I would love to get in the gym with Debo. They watch. You probably watch. Oh, yeah. Shout out Pops with that one. Pops, Debo, definitely get y 'all in the gym together and I'm going to film the workout. It's going to be amazing. Let's get it. I know you got one right there. I know you got a gym there. Speaking of Jim, man, hey, they say that boxing legend Mike Tyson, Floyd, they about to get it on. Exhibition, I believe it's 2026 next year. Not a date set, but it's supposed to be Floyd and Mike Tyson. What you think of that, man? They going to get my money.

1:06:25James Harrison:I'm going to watch. You know what I'm saying? But what we got going on here, man? I just seen Mike and Adrian. I'm glad my man didn't try to knock. Buddy, Jake Paul could have knocked out Mike Tyson, and they fight. Like, that dream was not – it was a little bit sad to see. I don't want to see Mike. See, I'm trying to – I don't want to see Mike in a situation. I think Floyd might just – I don't know. I don't know if he – you know, the contract was kind of set up, so he needed to make it go a while. You know what I'm saying? So, I don't know if that was really – you know, I just can't – I ain't sure, bro.

1:07:00Bro. Like, if that – because I seen him training. I seen him doing this here. Bro.

1:07:05James Harrison:He could give you – a minute of that. He's getting older, D-Bo. I'm just saying. He ain't even give him a minute, though. He was in the Jones. If he gave him a minute. I ain't see none of this training, George. He ain't give me no purys. He ain't give me no purys. I needed to see him. Let him fly. Let him fly, Mike. He was doing all that. I ain't see none of that. I ain't see none of that. I don't know. I just want to see Hazel. I'm with you. I don't even know if I want to. I would want to see this. Little on Floyd too, though. But I'm telling you, Floyd don't play. I like Floyd's... Floyd got actual hands.

1:07:45James Harrison:So I'm just saying... Floyd is not going to stand there. He's going to sit there... Floyd ain't going to stand there. He's going to sit there and tag... He's going to sit there and tag Mike's ass. But it's going to be like, you know... Like a little bumble... Like a little sting? Right. It's going to be like little sting. You know, it ain't even that. I need to know how many rounds I need to know how many rounds the length of the rounds come on listen man why your boy Chad up here talking crazy last night about fighting me man take a listen to this bro oh please let me hear you know who I might spit on I'm gonna spit on Debo oh I'm gonna make him fight me I'm gonna make him fight He gonna fight you, all right?

1:08:34James Harrison:You gotta do that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because I want him extremely mad. I want him angry. I want him to exert so much energy trying to hurt me where I use it against him. Because I'm gonna be nice and calm and relaxed. I don't know. Not no MMA. You ain't gonna be nice, calm, and relaxed.

I guarantee you tell you man he don't got no combat sports background like me. Hell oh hey man he like to hear himself talk man that man spit on me it ain't no rule in this world that's gonna stop me from trying to kill his ass.

1:09:28James Harrison:I saw it for my own eyes. I wouldn't believe that he said it if I didn't see it. Bruh. Bruh. You beyond you beyond fight rules. I am going to try and take your life. Oh no, Debo. Oh yes. Hands. But you are you when you say you hands. I'm beyond hands and feet, bruh. Oh no. You spit on me. I am going to try and take your life.
