Welcome to Dudes on Dudes. I'm Julian Edelman. Rob Gronkowski somewhere in the hemisphere doing something somewhere. Who knows what, but we'll be back next week to do the All Dudes Defense Team. But we do have another special episode coming at you this week. Bronx somewhere. We want them here, so we put together all the tight ends we've done so far and conveniently put them all in one place right here in the Nuthouse, in the hemisphere. And then we wrap up the show by naming the chillest dude of the week, presented by Coors Light. They're blue, you know what that means.

All right, guys, get ready for a whole lot of tight end talk. Let's go. Dudes on dudes is a production of a heart radio. Let's move on to our first guest. Who's that? Who catches a hundred balls every fucking year. Travis fucking Kelsey. This guy's a production machine.

What does AI have to say about Travis, Michael, Kelsey? Start the clock now. Travis Kelsey is widely regarded as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. Oh yeah. Known for his exceptional receiving skills and athleticism. So far I agree. I agree. I agree. Off the field he is seen as a charismatic and dedicated individual. He often prays for his leadership and community involvement. Kelsey has made a significant impact on the Kansas City Chiefs, helping them secure multiple playoff appearances and a Super Bowl victory. And AI, not, you know, right here, Super Bowl victories.

You got to make it plural. He got you got you got three. Yeah, he's got three. He's in the category. Yeah, he's got three AI. I mean, what they say just Super Bowl victory. I knew we were smarter than AI. They're not.

They're not there yet. Yeah. Yeah. Super Bowl and a Super Bowl victory. It says, all right. He holds several notable records, including the most consecutive in overall seasons with a thousand receiving yards by a tight end recently Kelsey has been in the spotlight for dating Taylor Swift co-hosting the popular podcast new heights with his brother Jason Kelsey killer and becoming the chiefs all-time leader in receptions surpassing the legendary Tony Gonzalez. Oh wow. And there's still a myth

about Tony Gonzalez that has not been solved. The urban legend. The urban legend. We're not going to talk about it. We're just going to let that be. This is about Travis. I mean, this is about Travis. Tony, we know that no matter what you are the number one Titan in the world because of that myth. Good things coming through with you. Yes. Good thing coming through with Tony guns off. Oh, man. Killer Trav, man. Killer, killer, killer, killer, Trav. He's so slippery.

He is slippery. That's a good way to put it. Slippery, smooth, smooth, flexible, functional. He's got like a very reliable. He's got a very I remember us talking about it. He's just has that basketball body where like he doesn't get hurt. He's always, he's elegantly running when he runs. He's faster than what you think

and he's stronger than what you think. And he's always in the right position. Always in the right position. Always in the right position. He knows how to find an open hole better than any tight end I have ever seen. Finding an open hole? Yeah, in the defense, Julian. The defense, okay?

If it's zone, he can find, you know. The soft spot. Yeah, that's soft spot. The soft spot of the zone. And just sit in it. What about man? Man coverage? Oh, man.

He's got great bow routes. You see him, he got the top of his route. He does. He's so like, like, like savvy. Yeah, savvy. Savvy. Savvy, savvy, savvy at the top of the route. Like he can go to boom, boom, boom,

like a basketball player dribbling when they're at the top, one-on-one, crossing over. Like he's got to boom, boom, boom, like a basketball player dribbling when they're when they're at the top one-on-one crossing over. Like he's got that. And that's what truly gets them open as well. And that's what makes him a great player is because of his knowledge in the zone game, the ability to find the open hole,

to find the where the grass is so he can sit there and Patrick Mahomes can just dump it right to him. And then also the ability to just be so savvy at top of the route and have that crossover type of skills and then make the DB confused or the safety or the linebacker, that's rare, a linebacker on him, to make them confused what way he's going and boom, he breaks out and he has that separation.

He can get that separation because of it. And when he hears that separation, you have a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes, he's gonna find you every single time and put that ball on the money. Can you keep him separated? What's that from? That's a song. Can you keep him separated? Is that uh, ooh, um, dang. Who sings that again? I know who that is. I don't know. I'm getting a tattoo now, I'm getting inked done. That's the same artist, right? I asked for a 13, but they drew a 30 with offspring. Yes.

You gotta keep them separated. I think that's the same song too, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, it is the offspring. Travis Kelsey is like an offspring. He's different from every tight end. He's one of the best ever to play. That's being an offspring right there. Not a traditional guy. I gotta ask you something. Yeah, ask me Jules. Ask me and I'll answer. I'm not scared. You ever get sick of people comparing them to you? You know, it's really like not a comparison. I mean you can compare us but we're two totally different players to tell you the truth. And like, it all depends on what type of scheme

you're in as well. You know, like what they ask him to do with the Kansas City Chiefs, I could not replicate what he's doing with the Chiefs. If you ask him to do what I was doing with the New England Patriots, I don't think he could replicate, he could do it. Like I could do what he's doing,

but I wouldn't have been able to replicate what he's doing with the Chiefs Patriots. I don't think he could replicate. He could do it like I could do what he's doing, but I wouldn't have been able to replicate what he's doing with the Chiefs at that level. And they know how to use a skillset. We have two totally different skillsets by far, like by far, like he's savvy at top of the route. I was, I'm gonna run and I'm just gonna go to the corner and I'm gonna outrun the guy. I'm gonna use my body.

I'm gonna be physical and Tom just throw the ball up. And if the guy's on me, I'm bigger than him. I'm going to use my body, box them out and just go up and catch the freaking ball. All right. Just throw me the ball. There was nothing more to it. This guy has like eight moves.

He's like a wide receiver out there. So we're two totally different players. You can compare us cause we both wear to number 87. So that's, that's in comparison right there. But if he fit, you know, if you brought him to the New England pitch, I don't think he would be able to do what I was doing. He would be able to do it, but not to the capable level that I was be able to do it at. So we're different players, man. Totally different players. He has mastered his skillset as well,

just like I mastered my skillset and what I brought to the table. But I mean, I'm not, you know, sick of it. I mean, he's, he's the table. But I mean, I'm not, you know, sick of it. I mean, he's a great player. I mean, he definitely belongs as the best tight end in the NFL or debatable as being the best tight end in the NFL due to his stats and what he has done for the position. But, you know, it's just an honor, I guess. It's an honor to be in the same category. Now, what if you guys were both on the same team? I think we would be perfect to be both on the same team. I mean, I feel like we kind of counter each other.

There's no doubt about it. Just the way, you know, like I was saying, how we were different players, his aspect of the game, how he, you know, can line up anywhere, how he can motion to any point on the field at any given time. I was kind of the guy like, Tom, do I really got motion across the line of scrimmage?

Like, sometimes I was in the huddle, like, I'm Tom, I know I got emotion here, but I'm just gonna line up over there, man. I'm like too big to be motioning. Travis is lighter, you can motion him around, set him up. Yeah. I had that happen before.

I remember. Yeah. I got a lot of mass. So we would compliment each other, unbelievable. And I would you know, I got a lot of mass. So we would complement each other, unbelievable. And I would say that we would have been the best duel. I would say one of the best duels to play if we play with each other. Don't you think so? Without a doubt. Yeah. It, I mean, we kind of had that. Yeah, we did. I was actually, I was actually going to say that, that we would, we would have broke the records of me and the other guy about, uh,

I won't mention names. We broke basically every record in the book when, uh, when it was him and I number 85. Um, it was, I think he had like two numbers. I think he was 81 at first. And then number 85. So we broke every record in the book for being dual tight ends. Like we had like,? 26 touchdowns a year and like, I don't know, 2,400 yards just between tight ends. Travis Kelsey and I together would have definitely matched those numbers or produced even more.

The new at slot receiver, then Randy Moss out wide. Just, wow. There's so much collectionist going on in that. Who would be our quarterback there? Mahomes or Brady? Or would we have them both and one would play one half? I gotta go Brady. We gotta go Brady.

I know. I agree. Because we don't know how to play with, we don't know how to play that scramble drill, second play within a play. That was not like our forte. So those guys learn that. That scramble drill, like Travis is always open

when there's that second play within the play that Patrick Mahomes creates and they've got on such a wavelength where he's always in the open position And he knows where to go He reads and scans the field better than anyone and he always finds open and and ma homes always delivers it to him So it's it'd be different. It'd be very different. Yeah, the second phase of a play. He's got that down to a science on how to get open. I mean, that's due to Patrick Mahomes being able to scramble like that. But Travis is also one of the most clutch players in the history.

History. There's no doubt about it when it comes to playoff performances or a tough got all the numbers game. He has all the numbers. He has all the catches when it's when it's that time to make a play. And he's swaggy as fuck. He is swaggy. He's smooth. But I swear it's due to the fact that he has that like basketball mentality, the basketball body like, yeah, like he's not Jack.

He has another dad by like Patrick Mahomes in a way, but a little bit skinnier, a little bit more proportion dad bod I would say. But those guys, man, I'm telling you, they don't get hurt. They don't pull muscles. And it's because they're not tight and he's not tight at all. And I swear that's what makes him the player that he is. He's yeah, fluid is a word that I'm looking for. He's fluid and pliable.

Dude, he's, and people are worried about him right now. I'm not worried because his production's a little down. Yeah, he had a good game. But I'm not worried until like, Travis is gonna show up when the team needs him in December or January. That's when you need him. Okay, he's 34 years old now.

He's chilling until that point and he'll turn it on and these jokers will probably go out and win again because he's chilling until that point and he'll turn it on and these jokers will probably go out and win again because he's part of that formula. Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Travis Kelsey, Spags and Chris Jones. And on top of it, he kind of is a complete tight end. He doesn't get the job done in the trenches. You're not gonna put him one on one

with a freaking 280 pound defensive end like, you know, Coach Balachuk love to do for with me in practice and just, you know, get my brains, you know, just mushed every day versus Rob Ninkovic and all the other guys. He just loved putting me verse every single practice and just loved watching me just bang my head every day and then go out and do it in games, but it was fun. I loved it. That's that's why I did it and never complained.

But he gets the job done. You want to know how I describe blocking James Harrison? That's kind of what he does. He's kind of got it down to a science. He gets in the way. He gets in the way. And he knows where the play has to hit. And he knows.

That's all you need to do. That's all you need to do. If you got that down to a science, which he does, and I've seen him do it, it springs to running back still. The guy does not make the play. So he's got it down and Tell you the truth. He's a superstar. You're super superstar. He's Dane Taylor fucking Swift and they might They should have a kid. They should that would be a great kid It'd be a what would what could be? Performing like, you know having eight

catches a game and then like halftime he's doing the halftime show and like 15 and now in like 24 years. Probably sooner yeah. Taylor was on the scene when she was like 13. Alright so it would be like the new Ryan Williams you know how he's 17 years old at Alabama so their kid would be like 14 in college they just surpassed like middle school because he's so smart. And then he would go like do a duet with like he would go do something with Quavo right after. Yeah. So and then he'll be in the league at 18 and then singing

and perform like half time top 10 hits and a tick tock song. Dang, they need to have a kid if that's the case. They got to have a guy. And we will be crazy not to talk about last year's AFC Championship game when all year, all year we kept on hearing people, not me, not me. Chiefs are done. They look old.

They look slow. Where's Travis Kelsey? What are they doing? Red Hot Baltimore. What are they doing? Red Hot Baltimore. What are they doing in Red Hot Baltimore? He goes 11 catches on 11 targets in the AFC championship when everyone knows they're throwing him the ball. That's a fucking, that's a killer.

That's why they call him Kill Trav. Clutch, one of the most clutch players of all time. I said that already. How about when I first met him? My really first time of truly meeting him. I'm like truly, truly meeting him. He came to Gronk Beach, man. It was really cool.

He was in Vegas. He was in Vegas. The draft was in Vegas. And he came up to Gronk Beach. You were there. I was hammered, man. I was hammered, actually. It was one of the few times in the last few years

where I was pretty hammed up. And I was, I'm awesome when I'm hammed up, actually. You jumped on my back. I didn't even feel it. Didn't even care who was on my back. I just started running around on stage, Jules, and you jumped on my back and all of a sudden, Killa Trav shows up and we're having a dance off on the stage. He can dance. And Rob could dance. I can dance like kind of like they're my own dancers, but he can for real dance because like we said, he's fluid. He's fluid. I got too muscular, man. I just never worked out like the way I worked out like in high school and college.

Like I should have been doing like more pliability stuff. Yeah, right. Yeah, because that was kind of my motto. Like that was kind of my persona being jacked up. Rob, you look like you were a senior in high school playing against fourth graders when you were playing. But imagine if I was still playing. Imagine like if I was looser and I could dance better and still were playing. But imagine if I was still playing. You just fucking. Imagine like if I was looser

and I could dance better and still be playing football. You could dance, you dance your own style, you're good. You're right. I'm the best at dancing my style. Ain't no one can match me. Ain't nobody matching. Mm-hmm. All right, time.

Let's drop in. What kind of dude is Travis Kelce? I mean, like. You kind of just said it already. You hit it right off the bat without even thinking about it, without even going over the categories. I mean, we got freak. I don't really think he's a freak. He's not a freak. Maybe somewhere else. He's freaking the sheets. Freaking the sheets. Because, you know, but I, I, I, that's all, that's all I'm going to say. That's how far I'm only going to go. But but on the football field, like his physical attributes.

No, not not really a freak like we said, Dad, but fluid. So like a freak is like DK Metcalf, like that dude's freaky. Yeah. He eats Cheetos for breakfast and he's got a 19 pack. Yeah, exactly. This guy, a dog. He's definitely a dog. He's definitely motivated. Trav is a dog. I think he's a dog. He is. He's a dude's dude too, I bet. I bet you he's so cool and in the locker room guy. He's a stud. Drink some beers with you. He's a whiz. He is. He is. That's because he knows how to get open. I wouldn't say he's like a true whiz, but he's a whiz at his

position. Kind of just like myself. Titans don't know that we know the whole playbook, but we're not like the smartest. We know what we just need to know. Rob, you didn't mess up much. Yeah, but like I said, we know what we need to know. Hey, so is he a stud? Is he a stud?

He is a stud. He is a stud. He's definitely a stud. But is he a dog? I think a stud. He is a stud. He's a stud. Oh, he's definitely a stud. But is he a dog? I think it's between stud and dog. I think because he went to Cincinnati and he was a fifth round draft pick or third round draft pick,

he had the troubles in college with the marijuana bullshit. That's why he dropped to the third. I think that's like- Kind of being more of a dog. That's a dog. Because if you're getting in trouble for that stuff and you're still going out and performing Studs don't get in trouble for that. Studs don't get in trouble studs can get out of it Studs gotta be a stud on the field and off the field in order to be labeled a stud. Yeah and like getting in trouble for that

That's it's kind of a weak thing in trouble, but it's also a dog It's a dog you get in trouble a dog goes in his cage and it comes back out That's a dog. That's a dog. He's a dog dog dog We'll be right back after this quick break. It's Julie Stewart. Thanks I'm doing a new podcast from I heart podcasts and the National Hockey League and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players the always Quotable Nate Thompson I wore nine NHL sweaters and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say and not just about hockey.

Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's going to be, well, it's going to be quite the ride. We're officially line mates, Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, Hall of Famers, and wait to see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex.

Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what Energy Lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll Listen to energy line with Nate and JSB on the I heart radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts Let's move on to our next guest so I'm just gonna check my No Instagram live here. Oh, well, hold on. Let me check mine. Are you off? I have a text message though

This starts with dicks and inertia wave What Yeah, Dicks in inertia wave. Yeah, what is that? That's the first four words So hey, oh Dicks and inertia wave are collaborating with Rob What is that? Am I accepting this collaboration? Oh Dick's Sporting Good. Yeah Dick's Sporting Good. Jesus. It says Dick's and inertia wave like this is getting raunchy but it kind of goes with Shannon Sharper. It's Instagram live so make sure those Instagram lives are turned off right now ladies and gentlemen Because we don't know what may happen

Start the clock. What's AI gotta say about Oh Shannon. Oh Shannon sharp Shannon sharp is renowned as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history known for his exceptional athleticism and competitive spirit Off the field he is admired for his care Get off the field. he is admired for his charismatic personality and dedication to community service. That was community service on the Instagram Live. Made a lot of people happy. A lot of people happy. A lot of people got happy.

Yeah, they sure did. And entertainment too. Entertainment, hey, that's community service. That's Char- Serving the community. Yes, it sure is. All service. That's serving the community. Yes, it sure is. All right. We're getting a little out of hand now.

Chart made a significant impact on the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens, winning three Super Bowl titles and becoming a key player in their offenses. He was the first tight end to surpass 10,000 receiving yards. I don't even have 10,000 receiving yards. He's a monster. And this was back in the day. Back in the day. That's beastly.

And held the records for most receptions receiving yards in touchdowns by a tight end at the time of his retirement. Sharp's post-retirement career as a sports analyst has further solidified his influence in the football world. And he's not just an analyst in the football world either. He's an analyst in all of sports, which he is like, he has broadened his fan base big time by, you know, breaking down basketball, breaking down,

what, badminton if he had to. Like this guy can do it all in the broadcasting world. When he went up with Skip, him and Skip, like he could battle him. He could talk. Hit when he went up with skip him and skip it's good like He could battle him. He could talk. Mm-hmm. I mean, there's no that's he's famous for a reason Not just as his podcast uncle Shae Shae And and everything that he's got going this guy's like he you could tell he's a fucking smart guy He looks like he could still play. Mm-hmm. He sure does

He looks like a linebacker now as well. He looks like he's jacked. He can go out there and just level fools and just get right back up. He is jacked. And I think he posted an Instagram within the year of him benching still. And I think it was like 385. It was around there. Don't quote me the exact way, but it was right around there. And he put it up like five times as well. Jesus. He's huge jack. He I watched a lot of the films and the mic'd up and stuff. Yeah. He could talk some shit to these ones.

Shannon Sharpe could talk some. He is the biggest shit talking tight end in NFL history. Without a doubt about it. No doubt about that. How about when he when he came to Foxborough, one of the old stadium back in the day, obviously he was playing in the 90s and he picked up the phone, the red phone. No one picks up the red phone. No one picks up the phone. You get your ass busted if you pick up that phone. Hey, hey, someone call the president.

Where? What did he say exactly? We just, we just, someone call the president. We're, what did he say exactly? We just, we just. Yeah, someone call the president. We're killing the Patriots, sending the troops. Man, he. Something like that. It was right along those lines, right? Right? Yeah, we are killing the Patriots.

Send it, someone call the president. We are killing the Patriots. And this is back before like talking to the cam. Like now we see players always talking to the camera on the sideline or before a game, pregame, postgame. Shane Sharp was an innovator of a lot of that. When you'd see the guys warming up and the warmups and stuff, he'd always engage the camera

and let you know he's about to run up all of your ass in the game that week and start talking to the fans. He's fucking crazy. He is crazy. I mean, he has wide receiver bill because I think he was drafted as a wide receiver as well. Yeah, he was. And then he put on some weight. Obviously, you got to put on weight if you're drafted as a wide receiver. Went to the tight end position. But that kind of explains why he was such a great route runner because he was a receiver coming into the NFL.

And that kind of explains why he's so jacked as well, because he was a receiver coming into the NFL. And that kind of explains why he's so jacked as well, because he had that skinny frame, and then he had to hit the weights hard. There's no doubt about it. He has like this downhill speed. Like when he gets going, he catches that ball, he's gone. Like right when he catches, he's gone, man.

He was athletic as hell. He's a freak. Run by, yeah, he is a freak. There's no doubt about that. He's low-key kind of a freak. I don't even think we got to debate at the end. I think he's a freak, no matter what. Well, we know he is a freak. There's no doubt about that. He's low key kind of a freak. I don't even think we got a debate at the end. I think he's a freak no matter what. Well, we know he's a freak in them sheets.

Yeah, he is. I mean, that Instagram Live. Back to the Instagram Live real quick. You think it was set up. I mean, to get into Instagram Live, you have to open up your phone, your face has to be recognized, or you gotta put your password in,

then you gotta hit Instagram, then you gotta hit the story button. Then you gotta move over to the right and hit Instagram Live. And then when you hit that, it says, Are you sure you wanna go live? And then you gotta hit yes. I mean, I still think it's an accident. Is it an inside job?

Was it the girl? It was an accident. Was it a girl? Or was he live before? I don't know the story that well. Was he live before and accidentally put his phone down? I'm not sure. But I mean, it was entertainment but I mean it was entertainment I mean I didn't listen he was getting the job done I didn't listen either what a hell of a career one what

do you want three Super Bowls two at the Broncos and John Elway and that that late Bronco surge of John's career and then he went to the Ravens and was part of that founding block of foundation for that organization. Him and Ray Lewis, like Ray was the guy that had the team and it was like always, they always had like quarterbacks that weren't necessarily like big name quarterbacks. It was more of playing to the defense. And you know, the guy in the offense that was always represented was Shannon Sharp.

That's what I remember as a kid, when you watch the Ravens, it was Shannon Sharp's team on the offense. And that's crazy The crazy thing about Shannon is his brother Sterling and in the amount of respect he had for his brother who? He had like a Woody he played how many years he played seven years in the league got cut with the neck injury Got cut short with the neck injury was like Tearing up everything was all pro five times, led the NFL in receptions a few, three years, and it was really cool to hear

when Shannon got inducted to the Hall of Fame that he would be the only guy up there in the Hall of Fame that had a brother that was better than him. He said something along those lines, I'm paraphrasing. So you have to give a shout out to Sterling. And he was really good on TV back in the day too. I remember. Well, shout out to Sterling as well,

because actually I didn't know any of this has ever occurred. I didn't know that Shannon had a brother. He was a monster of Packers. That played in the NFL. Thank you for the factuals. Thank you for the knowledge. We're always here to learn. That was pretty cool that you know more about a tight end

than I know about a tight end. So that was cool. It's pretty cool to hear the brother brother. It is. You had an older brother. Like, do you have any of those stories where your older brother, like, punked you into? Of course. That's why I also think it was really cool that you shared that story, because I got three older brothers and one younger brother played on their teams growing up, played same football teams in high school and college and didn't remember Dan was on our team with the New England Patriots

for a little bit, yeah, big piece. He does have a big piece and it's dark as well. Yeah, so it's like a double whammy big piece. Double whammy big piece. Yeah, it's tan, I guess. I don't know, that's what I've heard. That's what his wife told me. When you're his brother, you've definitely seen his dick.

No, he's never shown me. I was making fun of him one time and then his wife came in like, well, he has a bigger and darker dick than you. And I was like, well, I know that, but I'm gonna keep making fun of him. Like, I already know that. That's why I am making fun of him

so I can make myself feel better. Okay, back to Shannon Sharp, who has a sharp piece. Cool, why are we always, Jules, why are we talking about this stuff? I don't know. Yeah, I mean, this is dude talk though. This is dudes on dudes. Like, this is so great,

because whenever we get off, you know, subject and topic and everything, we can always just blame it on the name of the show. It's dudes just being dudes. Ravbles. And no lie, that's what dudes do, man. Dudes talk about, it's weird. Why do dudes talk about pea sizes so much,

like when it's just the dudes on the couch watching the game? I don't think I'll- Why is that? I don't know. It always comes back to that. It's weird. Mono y mono.

Fourth leg. The greatest trash talker of y mono. Mm hmm. Fourth leg. The greatest trash talker of all time. There's, I was watching him on the whatever when I fell, when it was NFL shows, top 100 shows, wherever I had the NFL channel on. And, uh, someone told Shannon sharp before, don't quote me exactly. It's just along these lines. They said, Hey, Shannon, you want to be famous? You want to be well known?

Then don't block. And Shannon sharp took want to be famous, you want to be well known, then don't block. And Shannon Sharp took that to heart. And he went out there and goes, I'm going to go out there and catch passes. I'm going to go out there and I'm going to be well known. I'm going to be famous and I'm going to catch passes, score touchdowns and get first downs. And that's sure what he did. But he wasn't that bad of a blocker either. He went out there, he got it done.

He's kind of one of the first tight ends revolutionized the tight end position as well and To open up an offense at the tight end position and he's kind of more of an H back tight end as well kind of shorter More stock here. He got the job done. He could run. He runs like a deer. He's he was I mean He didn't have all those stats for not being great. I mean, he's a monster Did you ever watch that cat Williams interview? No, I haven't I I didn't have all those stats for not being great. I mean, he's a monster. Did you ever watch that Cat Williams interview? No, I haven't. But I didn't either. But I just remember the hype of that whole thing.

That's what that's what happened with Cat Williams. Went on like a three hour rant. I feel like Shannon would be a great time to hang out with. I bet you back in the day when he was your teammate and you went out to the club with him, he would be a freaking great. He would go up and talk to any girl I bet. He just talks trash 24 seven. He would go up, he would be in the club

talking to like eight girls at once, talking garbage about his teammates or hyping you up like, he'd probably hype you up. Hyping you up like no other actually. He'd be hyping you up. Hyping you up, yo you see my boy over there? Cause he got mouthpiece.

Yo you see my boy over there? You see that touchdown he had? You see that, he needs a girl like you now, he needs a back massage. She needs some relaxation We need him ready for next week. Can you please go over there and just sit on his lap? I'm telling you good-looking guy. I see I seen him. He seen him in the shower too before I'm telling he's looking Yeah, ultimate hype guy, but I bet you'd be like that But he he probably you probably hate playing against him like we never played against him

You probably hate playing against Shannon Sharp just we never played against him. You probably hate playing against Shannon Sharp. Just because of A, his production, how good he was, and B, he let you know how good he was. Most ripped tight end of all time too. He's got, he's up there. Up there, he is the most ripped. Look at him, he's fucking jacked. Jacked, biceps freaking sticking out.

He loved that Hennessy. He a good type. I've seen him drinking Hennessy Is it a bunch right? There's always pictures. I swear he He'll be working out. I don't know what it is. But this guy I don't know how he can drink that alcohol and look that great God touched him Because he He's fucking a monster in a great way.

Who are some of the best trash talkers you you played against? Oh, Charles Suggs. He was great. T. Sizzle. Yeah. T. Sizzle. Same route. Yeah, he does. Yeah, he does. T. Sizzle was great, man. He was a scary player as well. He was massive. T. Sizzle loved the talk. Talk. Talk garbage.

What do you say to you? I mean, it was so long ago. Yeah. massive. He says he loved to talk garbage. What did he say to you? I mean, it was so long ago. Yeah. Yeah, it was so long ago. He was like, fuck you, girl. Yeah, like just shit like that. I'm gonna kill you, girl. No, no, he loved to talk like over the line and over me and just direct it right to Brady.

Did he? Always, always, man. He was just directing it right to Tom every single game. And then I would be in front of him like, you ain't touching Tom. I'm here. I'm chipping your ass. You ain't getting to him. Yeah. But I would never talk garbage back really to him

because he was scary too. Yeah, he was scary. Yeah. He sizzled. I don't know. Bart Scott said, fuck you to Billy. I was like, remember that in the playoff game? Bart Scott.

Bart Scott. I remember when Bart Scott went up, right? He was three inches from Billy O'Brien's face and said fuck you white boy and Billy Oh's tea kettle he goes I love them. Billy. Oh, yeah. I was excited. I was going. Oh, they beat our ass that game. That was when we were 14 and two. Yeah, they did.

They beat our ass in that division. Yeah, they did. Jets. We should have never lost that. What was it? What was Bart Scott's thing? Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait to lose the next game. Ten minutes is up.

All right. What kind of dude is Shannon Sharp? I mean, freak, absolute freak. He's in the waiting room. Freak on the field. Freak in. He's a freak on the field, freak in the sheets, just freak on the undisputed show, freak on serious radio when he was on. He's been a freak his whole life. He's freaky.

He's freaky, freaky, freaky. He's also he could be dog. Oh, a little bit, but he's more of a freak. He's a freak. He's Freaky Friday. Stamp. He's a Freaky Friday. Freaky Friday. Let's stamp. He's a Freaky Friday. Freaky Friday. Let's get on George Kittle. Rob, what do you got? What's AI saying? Let's see what AI has today for me. George Kittle. Here we go. AI. George Kittle is known for being an exceptional tight end with

a combination of dynamic receiving skills and strong blocking ability. He excels in both the passing game and the run game, using his athleticism, speed, and physicality to make plays and create opportunities. Kittle is also recognized for his toughness and versatility, making him a key weapon in the San Francisco 49ers offense. I agree. His ability to gain yards after the catch and his effectiveness as a blocker make him one of the most well rounded and impactful tight ends in the NFL.

Let's start the clock. We already should have. We're two minutes in. Yeah, dude. Kittle. He's like the first of this whole Iowa fucking craze tight ends. Well, the most was in there. Not necessarily. I'm going to kind of throw myself into that category.

You want to know why you went to Iowa? No, I didn't go to Iowa, but you want to know why? Why my first two years in the NFL? Yeah. My tight end coach. Who was Brian Farrin? Brian Farrin's offensive coordinator for the Iowa Hawkeyes. I remember Brian Farrin. So he always put you up on that board.

He was a fun coach. I love Brian Farrin. So I always put you up on that board. He was a fun coach. I love Brian Farrin. I'll still remember to this day some of the lessons he taught me. And first off, he taught me how to block. He's the one who helped make me the blocker of who I was in the NFL, which is very much what it is exactly. And that's why Kill is an all around tight end because they emphasize blocking first, no doubt about it.

And on top of it, Brian Farrance, many times, always told me, just keep being you, man. You're an awesome guy, keep being you. It's gonna get you to places that you would never imagine. So thank you, Coach Farrance. I'll still remember that to this day. What I loved about Coach Farrance, he says, when you're nervous, you're ready.

And I was nervous coming into this podcast world, and I thought about him again. I thought about him every single game I had, and I was if you're nervous you're ready. Thank you coach Farrance Do you know what and it's crazy what coach Farrance basically said to you is Probably everything that like kiddle is kind of shoots out on the field, you know selfless guy be yourself Which he's a very charismatic dude when you think of like he's a funny, dude He's the guy who started tight end you which is this huge event which you get to go to all the time Like he's he's a character not just off the field

But he's got that fun like little kid like Rob kind of energy like Gronk energy When he's playing because you guys both like when you guys both play, it looks like you guys are having the funnest time ever. You know like you guys like blocking. He loves blocking. Kittle gets open a lot because of how hard he blocks. It's the truth man and if you're a good blocker in the NFL at the tight end position, you're going to be able to get those easy passes thrown your way like that's the reward for blocking in the NFL is a play action passes.

When the linebackers step up, the quarterback just dumps it to you after the fake handoff to the running back and boom, you catch it, you know, eight yards down the field and boom, then you just make the safety miss. You can have a 20 yard gain off of a little play action pass and just keep the chains moving. But here's the question.

Miami university was tight on you back in the day when I was high school. His Iowa, who they had the fricking Greg Olson, Jeremy Shockey, uh, Kellan Winslow, Winslow Jr. Yeah. Winslow Jr. What did he say? I'm a soldier. Yeah. I'm a soul. And he's like that because you want to know why he said it? Cause he absolutely leveled like five guys on one play. And then they asked him about that play. And then he goes, I'm a soldier. He's not taking any shit. He's in war. But they had a couple other guys as well that was going to league that they were sending the backups or getting drafted. Greg Olsen, Greg Olsen. Fucking team. I said Greg Olsen. You know what? They never forget Greg Olsen. You can't. But that was the tight end

you when we were growing up. That was tight end you now Really has to be Iowa and it's because the start of this this whole thing with Kettle I mean kettle fifth round draft pick which is makes it even more impressive. He's a fifth round guy He wasn't the biggest dude. He wasn't the strongest dude, but he always fucking blocks his nuts off He's willing to give his body up He makes big- time plays for his team when they need it on a crucial third down. He makes red area blocks where he's taking his fucking defensive end and driving him in the end zone.

Like he's the guy that you always want to play with. He's that, that's the kind of, and he's always fun. You could tell he's positive. And he comes from like a Laura family from Iowa. Like what do you mean, Jules, you can tell he is positive. Like that's just a well-known fact that he is a positive guy. Whenever you're around George Kittle, like your aura just lifts up. He's just always looking for the best thing out of anything that happens. You know? Yeah.

He's very optimistic. He's like optimistic, positive thinker. You know, and honestly, that's the kind of vibes that you use. You gave off when we were in the locker room. It's there's guys that are hard. Oh, there's guys that are asshole. Like I was a guy that was like, I had to be in a certain mindset to asshole. Yeah, I had to be an asshole, not an asshole, but like I, but you weren't, you weren't an asshole, but you were like, okay.

I made it. I made guys a hard. Oh, I was hard. Oh, but you weren't that, you know, just a tad bit because you were, like you said, I made guys a hard. Oh, I was hard. I know you, but you weren't that just a tad bit because you're like you said, you're making them accountable. And that's what the technique you use to make them. And that's because I worked so hard and it took me a long place to get to where I got. So like, that's what I was like. Then there was guys like Kittle and yourself that like you guys work insanely hard.

You do great in the classroom, but you do it with like a smile on your face and you're always happy. Like there's different guys in the locker room and you and that's what I feel when I think of like George Kittle. That guy is just like a positive great dude to have around, especially with you know their locker room. They got so many different Charismatic's characters there. Like it's just a great piece. I think he's a freaking baller. And going back to Iowa and about being tight end you, they also had TJ Hockinson come out of Iowa, one of the highest paid tight ends in the game. Noah Fant, how do you say his last name? Faint? I don't know. Funt. Funt. Noah Funt. Seattle. He's boss. Yes. Yes. He's a great player.

He's huge, man. That dude's huge hole. You got Sam La Porta, the best rookie last year, went to the Pro Bowl over 800 yards. I'm sure he's going to have over a thousand yards and 10 plus TDs this year as well. Give the University of Iowa for this decade, you know, to be known as tight end. You are sure for sure. The story about his dad writing letters before every game. that's pretty hard hitting. Did your pops ever write you anything? No, my pops never wrote me anything like that, but he always motivated me, especially growing up. He always told me, hey, if you want to be better than everyone else, if you want to get to the next level,

you got to outwork everyone else. My dad's been selling fitness equipment for over 30 years now, so he put a weight room in the basement and said, hey, Hey, you want to make it to the pros, buddy? You want to make it? You want to be able to dunk? You want to be able to block? You want to be able to toss guys around? Well, get your ass in the weight room and get stronger now. You know, he wasn't a hard ass about it, but he always led us that way. Hey, get in the basement now. You want to be strong? Get in the basement. You want to whoop some ass? Get in the basement now. You wanna be strong? Get in the basement. You wanna whoop some ass? Get in the basement.

That you gotta have that, he's got that same, you know, it may be different because he's getting letters and you're eating weights. You know, it's still that dad kind of love. Like I had mine in a different way. You always know and hear about him

and his relationship with his family. He seems like just a fun dude off the field too. He is a fun dude. Have you ever hung out with him? I've only hung out with him at Titan. You and I just met him a couple of times just really quick. And he's always fun, just so positive. And what I love about him, though, is that we are very similar.

That's for sure. We have similar game. He's an all around tight end, and he's the best all around tight end in the game right now. Blocker. Yes, blocker. Yes. Blocker. Yes. Uh, in the receiving game, what I really love about him is he's a WWE fan, bro. And he's an ultimate WWE fan. Pretty sure he'd done a couple of things with WWE.

I think with WrestleMania, I think his favorite wrestler is like Luca. Hannah, Luca, Hannah, he has that vibe to go into wrestling after he's done playing. He can always be cutting WWE promos. He's always upbeat. I mean, he's got great energy. I mean, in order to start national tight end day, he started tight end U while playing.

He's got a lot of juice and that's why people love him. That's why his teammates love him. I mean, I'm sure how many guys do you think he has picked up on his team that are down, don't feel like playing, but there he is. He's there every day. Hey guys, let's go, let's go. Let's have fun.

Let's go make some plays. Let's go catch some balls. Let's go do this. Let's go do that. You know, he's just aura is to pick guys up around him. That's a guy you want in your locker room. That's a guy you want on your team, especially at the tight end position,

the best position in the game. I mean, not biased, you know? I mean, he was a standout on the TV show, Receiver. I mean, that's how big of an aura he has for a tight end. Like he went under Receiver and pretty much dominated that show. Not saying like statistically this, that, but like his story was like so fun

watching on that him and his family and he's got a crazy sneaker collection. He's a monster. He is a monster. And it's just he's like a guy that you want to work out with when you're working out. Sometimes you go into the workout and you're like, I got to work out. He's like a James Devlin in the weight room. Yeah, he is. But then you just start working out with him and boom, automatically

the switch is switch and just like turning the weight room. Yeah, he is. But then you just start working out with him and boom, automatically the switch is switch and just like turning the lights on. You just when you're around him, you hit that switch up and boom, the lights are on. I bet you he hasn't come out to the weight room song when he goes into the weight room. Like he probably puts on one song, like a wrestling song, like a like a stone cold. They're not, they're not. And like that's how I bet he he starts his fucking workout because he's so like that. What I don't like about him, though, is he broke my receiving record. Well, Travis Kelsey did too that year, but George Kittle broke my receive.

He broke your silver. Yeah, I had thirteen hundred twenty seven yards that one year. And yeah, he broke that. And plus he had a 200 plus yard game, which I remember as a tight end. Two hundred plus yards. But that's 10 minutes. We got to determine. Oh, my gosh. Absol plus yards. But that's 10 minutes. We gotta determine. Oh my gosh.

Absolute monster. So where do we put him then? What kind of dude is he? What kind of dude is he? Is he a stud, a freak, a dog, a whiz, or a dude's dude? I mean, he's kind of a dude's dude. I think so. He's a stud, but like, he's so positive.

Like people don't. Bro, you don't understand either. He's a freak, bro. This guy is so strong pound for pound. I'll wait for him. He might be the strongest guy on the team. He's got that weird leverage. I think he does like that lifts like 500 plus pounds. From what I hear, I never worked out with him, but he's mentally. He's got dog, you know, but I'm leaning towards dudes, dude.

He is a dude, dude. I got to go with that because he's a locker room guy. Locker room guy. Positive energy. Calm cool collect always. I've never seen a bad miked up on him. No, I never have man. Never have.

Like I've yelled at referees and I've swore like, he's just like always like. I actually envy his energy. I want his energy. Oh wait, time out. Wow. We forgot his pitcher as well. J Jules I blame that on you. I blame that on you Jules because you were the veteran with the pictures on the very first show.

That's my bad. And that was my first time I needed to be reminded. The picture is so kid. You forgot but there he is everyone. There he is. That picture just exemplifies him. That explains him totally. Tongue out, having a good old time, smiling with his tongue out. You know how hard that is to do it? Wrestling hair. It's all greasy, hasn't showered in a week, just has dudes all over him from the last practice. Swaggy sneaker.

Yeah. I mean that- Oh man. George Kittle. He's a dude's dude. He's a dude's dude. He is on the field, off the field. We'll be right back after this quick break. He's a dude. He is. I'm just on the field off the field. We'll be right back after this quick break.

It's Julie Stewart Banks. I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League, and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say and not just about hockey. Believe me he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's gonna be well it's gonna be quite the ride. We're officially line mates Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, hall of

famers and wait to see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll.

Listen to Energy Line with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our last guy is someone that played before us. We never played with him. Legend, tall, handsome, crazy stories about him. You know, urban legends about like, he would only have.

El dubles. El dubles. What does that? We're not saying what the el dubles mean. I don't even know what that means. What type of el dubles they were. But I heard the word in the street was el dubles only or nothing.

What does El Dublés mean? Not just one, but two, Jules. El Dublés. He was so good looking, he wouldn't allow just one. El Dublés it is. He would allow two only. I mean, that's just the word on the street. That's the word on the street.

That's the urban myth. And let me tell you, it was my rookie year when I heard that urban myth and man Did I think it was one of the coolest things I've ever heard? I wanted to be like this guy more than anyone else man. Oh, do blade Tony Gonzalez I mean, I already kind of know already from the beginning what category he fits in but well, it's Our co-pilot say Rob. Let's What's our co-pilot say, Rob? Let's see what our co-pilot says about Tony. Good old Tony Gonzalez.

He basically has every record in the record book at number one for a tight end. Played a long time. For a tight end position. Keep it for the time limit. We'll keep it for the time limit. They're talking about, oh, keep it for the time limit. All right.

Hit the time limit now. We're going to start the time limit when the co-pilot starts. That makes sense. We'll keep it for the time limit. They're talking about, oh, keep it for the time limit. All right. Hit the time limit now. We're going to start the time limit when the co-pilot starts. Yeah. That makes sense. Better. We're taking off. Co-pilot, check your engines. Check.

Engines on. Tony Gonzalez was a highly skilled and versatile tight end in American football. Known for his exceptional receiving abilities, he was renowned, right? That was the right word again? Renowned, hey, they use this word twice now. I mean, you know. That's not good English skills by the way.

That's not good. We're smarter than co-pilot. For his precise route running, reliable hands and athleticism. Over his career, Gonzalez became one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, earning 14 Pro Bowl selections. Let me put this stat into perspective. I've only played 11 football

seasons in my career. 14 Pro Bowl selections. Jesus, timeless. Latin don't crack, baby. They don't. And numerous records for receptions and receiving yards at his position, including the tight end touchdown record as well. I think he has like a hundred, like 26 touchdowns. Actually, no, Antonio Gates hold that holds that record. Yeah, he does my bad. But Tony Gonzalez holds every other record. All right. His ability to contribute both as a receiver and a blocker made him a key asset to any offense. And that's the truth. He played for two teams. He was an absolute legend with the Kansas city chiefs. And then he went to like the Atlanta Falcons at like what? 33, 34 years old and still bald and still bald at that age.

I remember coach Belchuk. We played the Falcons a couple of times when I was a rookie, a second year, third year player, and all he did was circle Tony Gonzalez and said, we have to stop this guy. Have we want to win? If we want to have, you said, we have to stop this guy. We want to win. If we want to have, you know, the ability to have a chance. If the defense wants to perform well, we have to stop Tony Gonzalez. We got to jam him off the line.

He makes contested catches. So you got to follow through with the play, you know, make sure he doesn't get up and jump over you, make sure he doesn't turn and get that ball. You got to follow every movie makes from the start of the play to the end of the play. And you got to double cover him. You got to. You got him. I loved him though, cause he, I remember at Berkeley, he was playing basketball, dunking on dudes. Like he was a fucking athlete.

He's he's one of the first like athletic tight ends, like pure athlete tight ends that the game has seen. He was so smooth and he was one of the first ever to start that tradition of, hey, a basketball player, a power forward can play in the NFL at the tight end position. And he played basketball at Cal, so shout out to the Pac-10. He played in the Pac-10. RIP, RIP.

I played in the Pac-10. Yes, rest in peace to the whole Pac-12 conference, to the whole Pac. I didn't get to play in the Pac-10. RIP, RIP, RIP. I played in the Pac-10. Yes, rest in peace to the whole Pac-12 conference. I didn't get to play in the Pac-10, but keep going, RP. Yeah. He made it to the Sweet 16 at the University of California. And in 2002, he played in the NBA Summer League as well for the Miami Heat. That's just the type of athlete Tony Gonzalez was.

And I feel like that's kind of why he was the player He was and why he was so durable too because he had that basketball background I feel like basketball players sustain their athleticism and skill set way longer than the football players They're way more fluid. They're way more flexible Flexibility so much more smooth. I feel like muscle sometimes better for that It is and I feel like it's just- Less muscle sometimes better for that. It is. And I feel like football players trained well. No, I mean, trained the wrong way.

We trained too hard. We trained too hard, made us too stiff. And that's what made him the player that he was because he trained like a basketball player. He always just, oh, he just was smooth always. He always looked smooth. Apparently the urban religion is that he's smooth off the field as well.

But whenever you saw him go up and catch a ball, like in slow motion, it almost looked like he was a dancer. Like with how effortless and light he was on his feet for such a big dude. And then him always dunking the football on the goalpost is something that I remember through my childhood and early on in my career when he was at the later part of his career that he did all the time.

And kind of like that football, you know, I mean the basketball transition to the NFL. I feel like the guy was so durable as well. He missed like what, two games in his career? Yeah. Played what, how many seasons? You only missed two games? 18 seasons? How many seasons did he play? 18, 19, 20? How many games? It career. Yeah. Played what? How many seasons? You only missed two games. 18 seasons?

How many seasons did he play? 18, 19, 20? How many games? It was something ridiculous. That's insane. It was just nuts. He was just an absolute animal. So smooth, so athletic,

and he was great off the field too. One of the best looking guys I've ever seen. Still. Still to this day. Still handsome. He still looks like he can play. I was watching him on Thursday night football last night, but he's a he's a great analyst as well.

You know, he just speaks the truth. He gives his insight. He's great for Amazon. And he was just looking so he was looking tan, shiny, handsome. He had that white outfit on with like he had like that French kind of thing going. Hair do was on point. Hair has always been on point.

Tony Gonzalez has had spectacular, it seems like it hasn't colored. I bet this guy would walk into a club or bar in middle of his hay days and he wouldn't even have to say a word and the fricking janitors would have to come out and put those signs that say, caution, wet. Don't slip.

He is that good looking. He got all the girls panties going. There's no doubt. He didn't even have to say a word. He would just walk in. That's the type of swag Tony Gonzalez has. He was that good looking and swaggy aura. And it translated to the field as well.

His play was just like a good looking. Rob, what are some of the things that you tried to emulate from Tony's game? Just overall, he was a complete tight end as well. It wasn't the greatest blocker of all time, but he did it. He exemplified what being a tight end was, you know? He went pancake guys, but he would get in the way He would move guys. He was willing to block

That's kind of what made him so great. Just as a kid. Tony Gonzalez was one of my heroes growing up I remember in Buffalo When I was there growing up I was in high school, you know The bills weren't that good, but there was a chance that Tony Gonzalez was about to get traded to the Buffalo Bills because he eventually did get traded to the land of Falcons. And there was always talk because he was always on such crappy teams in Kansas city and he always performed, he always produced. And that's what made him so great.

But, uh, there was always trade talks as well at end of his career with Kansas city for like five years, because he wanted to go win. And I remember our whole entire high school was talking about Tony Gonzalez going to the Buffalo Bills. Just how excited we all were because Tony Gonzalez was gonna possibly get traded. It just never happened. Could you imagine high school version of Rob

and his boys in Buffalo like, Tony Gonzalez is here, we're back to the Super Bowl. Exactly, that was exactly how it went. Oh my God. It is true. You know, he really did evolve. I think he's one of the huge figures or guys that help evolve the tight end position

in that 90s window. Now there was great tight ends, the Winslows and the Dickas in the back of the day. Like those were really great tight ends, but it was kind of like those guys put their hand in the dirt and they were just kind of like an extension of the run game that sometimes went out to catch a pass.

Tony Gonzalez, he came, like he became, I remember watching him, which we used to do a lot with you, putting him outside the formation in the red area and saying, hey, we're just gonna play jump ball with our tight end. Like, I don't remember that before, Tony Gonzalez, and I'm sure people are gonna hit us in the comment sections with a bunch of guys that did.

But like, for my era of football that I grew up with, that's what I remember. Tony Gonzales just always having the ball in his hand, always doubled, finding a way like super savvy route runner like space guy because of basketball. It's very similar to basketball in space. He was great at the space. And then, you know, the guy was just freaking good looking.

He was good looking. That was a great way to end that, you know, the guy was just freaking good looking. He was good looking. That was a great way to end that, you know, that phrase of just everything you said about him. Could you imagine, he'd probably be considered one of the best, because they say one of the best with Tony Gonzalez. If he had a Super Bowl, would he be the best? I feel like that not winning a Superbowl

is definitely hindering him. Yeah. It kind of sucks because he did everything possible and then more every single year. Every year. It was like- For a long time. It wasn't like he had, he had,

I think he led the league in receptions one year in 2004, 102 catches. Like when was the last time a tight end led the league in receptions? And like the next year he would have 95 receptions one year in 2004, 102 catches. Like when was the last time a tight end led the league in receptions and like the next year he would have 95 receptions the next year he would edit 85. Next year he would have whatever 90 more again. Like he was so fricking consistent and he never won a

championship. Like that's a tough situation to be in. That's sad. That kind of sucks as a player to play that long and be that consistent and just never been on the right team. Yeah. You know he kind of almost won one with Atlanta I think they went you know to the playoffs a couple times yeah but that was when we were in our era you weren't gonna you weren't gonna beat us Patriots. No. But that just sucks having little team success and always just giving it your all and always showing up and it's hindering him I would say in the tight end rankings, you know people say all Gronk which myself

Kelsey You know, I mean Tony Gonzalez is always up there But I see people not put him in their top five before like you know, there's Antonio Gates And that's Mike Dicka they say Like, you know, there's Antonio Gates. Well, it's Mike Dicker, they say. You know, and- Winslow. Yeah, Winslow.

But Tony Gonzalez exemplified what being a tight end is. He's the one- Especially nowadays. He's the one that made being a tight end cool to younger kids like myself. I mean, he was such a bad-ass in Kansas City. His rookie year, he had a flu game, a Jordan type flu game where he balled the fuck out Managed to catch a touchdown pass and he credited the performance to eating some chicken soup like

How smooth is this guy? Well what food gives you superpower Jules chicken soup was was Tony Gonzalez's superpower I would say tomato soup. I'm more of a tomato soup guy. I feel like you were the English muffin with sausage, egg cheese, sausage, English muffin. I remember every single day you ate that and it was like giving you your superpower. I'd have a smoothie at five

and then I'd have my right before team meeting, sausage, egg and cheese. Yeah, that's what it is. That was your superpower. Love a sausage and cheese. Tomato soup? I've never seen you have tomato soup, buddy. I love tomato soup.

Yeah, I've never seen you eat it. But I was just trying to reference it because of soup. Yeah, but you never eat tomato soup. Did you have a favorite pregame soup superpower? Yeah, I did. I always had my chocolate milk with a peanut butter and jelly and the jelly was my mom's homemade jelly. What's a homemade jelly?

What kind of fruit? Strawberry, strawberry jam. Your mom made homemade jam? Yeah, it's the best strawberry jelly ever. I remember she came over with that chicken buffalo dip or whatever. Yeah, that was good too. With rich crackers and that's what you dip it in.

She made that as well. Stop talking about my mom. Let's get on to, let's get on to. That's what dudes do though. Dudes do talk about moms though. I mean, so I guess so. I mean, you're giving her props. So I guess you can keep talking about my mom. I ain't saying anything sideways about mom McGraw.

I know where you go. Anything I've got. I know where you go. Get out of here. Mrs. Ellerman, I love her. I just saw her. You remember at the live show? Yeah. That was cool. But your dad was there, so I couldn't get a of here. Mrs. Elman, I love her. I just saw her. You remember at the live show? Yeah.

That was cool. But your dad was there, so I couldn't get a little inappropriate. 10 minutes. So 10 minutes is up. And what kind of dude is Tony Gonzalez? This one was easy, I mean. He's like I said, he's a dude's dude.

He's a dog. He's a freak. But the most characteristic that Tony Gonzalez exemplifies is definitely on and off the field, big time, like no doubt about it, he's a fricking stud. Stud. He's a stud. Stud at everything he does, basketball, football, analyst.

Breaking every record. Bar settings, he's probably a stud. Yeah, super stud. Super stud. He's like that horse that you like, you know, you go out and you made it. Yeah, you get that stud come. Yeah, he's a stud.

He's the stud horse. I wonder if he has a thing as big as a horse too. Yeah. Because, yeah, he's a stud. I'm not kind of trying to imagine that, but I would probably say so. But you just imagined it. Yeah, I would probably say so.

That's just Tony. He's such a stud muffin. He's like every muffin too, stud muffin. He's a blueberry muffin. He's a cinnamon muffin. He's the regular muffin. What other muffins are there? I like a lemon poppy seed. Yeah, lemon poppy seed. He's a cinnamon muffin. He's the regular muffin. What other muffins are there? I like a lemon poppy seed.

Banana muffin, yeah, lemon poppy. He's a poppy seed. He makes those girls feel like they're numb. Yeah, because that's what poppy seeds do, don't they? They give you a high, like morphine high, if you eat enough poppy seeds. I think that's where they make heroin from, but I don't think that's from the muffin though. No, it's from the poppy seeds. Yeah, but I think there's where they make heroin from. But I don't think that's from the muffin, though.

No, it's from the poppy seeds. Yeah. But like, I think there's like a real extensive. That's why he's a extraction poppy seed. Yeah. But he is the extraction. All right. Let's get on to our next. Let's our next bar. Bar bar bar. Put up the headshot. Ladies and gentlemen, our next tight end here at National tight ends day, who also started

Tight End U at Vanderbilt University every year that I went one time because I failed after I went, because it's the Harvard of the South. Hard place. Yeah, it's a hard place. Very beautiful, I heard. Never been. It is.

Greg Olson. Greg Olson. Greg Olson Greg Olson Greg Olson What is the what does AI say about Greg Olson? All right, Greg. Oh start the clock Greg Olson. Oh Ocean I like that. Yeah. Well his hair looks like an ocean. It's all over the place. It kind of looks like a hurricane Alright, alright, great ocean. It's all over the place. It kind of looks like a hurricane. All right. All right. Greg. Greg Olson is celebrated as one of the top tight ends in NFL

history. Known for his reliable hands. We were talking about that earlier. The most reliable hands in the NFL. This guy had hands. Yes, he does. And route running skills. Off the field, he has admired for his dedication to family and philanthropy, particularly through his Heart Test Yard Initiative. Heart Test Yard Initiative. Heart Test. That's a, that's a. That's a handful.

That's a hard test. That's a heart, heart test? Heart test, yeah. Oh, heart. All right. Particularly through his Heart Test Yard Initiative. I like that. Which supports families of children with congenital.

Like we said, everyone, we don't have the best vocabulary. This is dudes on dudes. We're learning as we go. We're not perfect here, but we get numbers right, okay? We get numbers right. What AI is saying, he's for the kids. Yeah, we're for the kids. Yes. Olson made a significant impact on the Carolina Panthers helping them reach

Super Bowl 50 and becoming the first tight end in history to have three consecutive a thousand yard receiving seasons from 2014 to 2016. Wow. He holds the Panthers franchise records for most receiving yards. He's lucky I got hurt because I would have held that three 1000 yard seasons in a row. But it's not about me. It's not about why am I making about me? Titans don't make it about yourself. I just made it about me. Yeah, slot receivers do. It's our little diva in us because we're not full diva, but we got a little diva. It's about Greg Olson here. He holds the Panthers franchise records for most receiving yards, receptions, and 100 yard receiving games by a tight end.

After retiring, Olson transitioned to a successful career in sports broadcasting. He's one of our teammates right now with the Fox team. He's really good. Further showcasing his football acumen. He does have a lot of football acumen, I can tell you that. What is that like? Like knowledge?

Knowledge. Another word for knowledge. Cinnamon for knowledge. Not a cin- Right? Synonymous. Synonymous, yeah. Cinnamon.

Freaking cinnamon, right? Cinnamon. Yeah, cinnamon. I like cinnamon. He's tasty. He's tasty. Yeah, okay. No, wow, this is bad, Joel.

This is bad. This dude's just being dudes, though. This is what it's all about. Dudes just being dudes and just showing you who you are. We're not perfect cinnamon, bro Yes, cinnamon that same now for now. Yeah, so now on is a the English dictionary better change that word to cinnamon cinnamon and cinnamon now Well, you want to know what acumen means? I kind of know that from back in my head.

I was reading a book the other day, had the word. It's stability to make good judgments and quick decisions. And that actually explains Greg Olson and his game. And that's why he had over a thousand yards in three seasons in a row because of his quick decisions. And when you're really quick at top of the route, when you have a two way goal like Greg Olson, his favorite route of all time,

he kind of runs kind of like diagonally that to like the 10 yard mark where he has to go and then the linebacker is sitting there to safety and you got to either split right like a bow or split in. What's the split in route where you like a middle read? No, no, not a middle read like kind of like a cross. No, no, you go and it's like a angle, an angle route. But it's at between a 10 yards and 12 yards you You can either bow it or angle it, like an angle at 10. Middle read. No, because it's not a middle read, because a middle read is when it's post double safety high

and you can go in the middle. So he was so good at making that decision and being decisive of should he go out on the guy on the defender or should he go in? And that's where he made his bread and money. Bread and money. Bread and money. Bread and money. You just went full Will Ferrell in old school right there. Yes. Did you guys see that?

That's his acumen. Did you guys see that? That's his acumen. He literally just went. That's Greg Olson's acumen, ladies and gentlemen. Will Ferrell in old school at the fucking last thing where he competes in the debate. And he did you black out right there? I did blackout and like old-school Welfare always blacked out many times Frank the fucking tank. No Greg Olsen I mean we threw on that film and he's a lot more athletic than you remember

He wasn't like a guy that was gonna kill you with his athleticism But he had such great hands. Like he would go up and make those one-handers. He did a lot of one-hander catches. He had great ball skills. And he was a very savvy guy as well. And he wasn't like he was a small guy. He's 6'5", 255, out of the U.

What's up with the U and the tight ends? I mean. Tight end U, man. Is that? They were called tight end you man. When I was a kid, Miami Miami was probably who's tight end. You know, Iowa, Iowa is tight end you now, but the university of Miami. Oh my gosh. You're producing tight ends left and right, man.

Shocking. I love Miami. Olson, Bubba Franks, Winslow. Oh my gosh. And the joke is like the new, new school version school version of Titan U at the University of Miami. But man, who were they producing tight ends, man? University of Miami was, they were on point. And he was a track star in high school.

Yeah, he was. Javelin. Javelin? Maybe that's why he was so good with his hands because he was always using his hands in track. Throwing it? Yeah, just throwing, like holding, you know, that javelin stick.

I've never met a javeliner. I guess I have. Like, what do you do? No, it's- How do you throw it? That's called a shake weight. Oh, shake weight. Oh, that's a shake weight.

Never threw a javelin before, you know? It's just like the spear. They throw. All right. It's like a football throw. I bet you can throw, can you throw a football for him? It's like being a glad they throw. It's like a football throw. Can you throw a football for him? It's like being a gladiator and throwing that spear

and just boom toss it 40 yards. Exactly. So he did javelin. I mean, the first thing you think of Greg Olson, look at that. Oh, look at that. That's good technique. Looks good.

He's young. Look at that face. He's beautiful. He got that. Oh, look at that. That's good technique. He's young. Look at that face. He's beautiful. He was defined in high school. I don't know what happened. He's like one of those tight ends with a dad body again. That's what made him last long. He lasted long.

He lasted long, but he was jacked in high school. He hit me up during that 3,000 yard, or the 3,000 yard seasons. He broke his foot, and I broke my foot, and I remember us communicating over the Jones Fracture. That was the first time I ever got a call from him. And to watch him on TV, he's killing in the TV. He's really knowledgeable about the game.

He's fun. He's got that little dorkiness in him. He does. He's got that little dork like that. He plays it off really well. He plays. He's a fun guy to be around. And he is who he is. Like he expresses who he is. It doesn't matter, man. That's why you love him, man. That's what you love about people. He's not hiding himself at all. Never. No, never. And I trained with him, actually. I remember what was really cool is that I was coming out of the University of Arizona and we had the same agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

And Drew Rosenhaus had me call Greg Olson. He was the only player I called to ask about Drew Rosenhaus and also ask about the training process of training for the combine and all that. And I remember Greg Olson did give me some great advice, man. He said, Hey, you're going to think all the little details are stupid, but make sure you do them all. Cause those are actually the biggest things in the end. And I still remember that to this day that he goes do all the warmups,

all the recovery things that you got to do after you trained all day. He says, just do all the details of the little things and you will be fine. So thank you Greg for the advice man. I remember talking to you on the phone and just the advice of going through the NFL process. He was the only player I talked to through that through that time. So good dude man, good dude. Wasn't you know looking out for himself but he was looking out for me on that phone call which was cool. You think he called Bledsoe after Brady replaced him? I'm in roast mode, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Hey, hey, Julian. I'm in roast mode. Did he call Bledsoe? Oh, because Bledsoe got replaced by Todd. There you go. Sorry. I'm a tight end. We're a little slow, okay? Tight ends are sometimes a little bit slower,

but we're personalities are just fricking awesome. We are the coolest players on the field. They were, I mean, he- We really are. Name a tight end that isn't cool. Hmm. Exactly, you can't, you're thinking about it. That means there is not-

They really are, they really are. You wanna know about it. That means they really are. They really are. You know who's really cool? Dallas Goddard. I was hanging out with him at Titan U when I was actually smart enough to go because it's the hybrid of the South. We were talking about and like I was just hanging out and I didn't even know who he was. I like I know who Dallas Goddard was, but I had no clue what Dallas Goddard ever looked like. And like this dude had the hair flow and everything. I was talking to him. I had no clue what Dallas got it ever looked like and like this dude had the hair flowing everything I was talking about my dude cool shit

And then like two days later I saw a picture of us online and it says like Dallas got her and Rob Grancovsky You got I was like, oh my freaking god. I didn't even know that was Dallas guys running 70 yard touchdown I just thought he was cool as shit And that's what tight ends are and Greg Olson's the epitome of that. Just cool as shit. Yeah, he is cool as shit. Just cool as shit. Athletic, he had kind of that basketball stuff. He wasn't a burner.

He had great hands. He made big plays for his team. He went to a Super Bowl. He's got crazy stats. You know, he had the 3,000 yard seasons. What attribute, the best attribute or characteristic that Greg Olson contained in his pocket, his secret weapon was his route running skills.

His route running. His route running skills, one of the best in the game at the tight end position. He'd like lull you. I always see him hitting that bow route. He'd marry his routes together. Remember he was really him hitting that bow route. He'd marry his routes together. Remember, he was really good at that bow route. Remember that cover four, I always see him hit it

in like the fringe shot, where you're right outside the red area, the 20. And they'd always run that, they'd get cover four and they'd run that post and he'd run that bow route and they'd hit him on that. I remember seeing that one. Installed something. We stole it from them because we were copying it. We liked the way they ran it and he'd run that bow route and he caught it right on that one yard line. He's really, I mean,

he's just, he's a, he's a, he's an awesome guy. Did you, he doesn't care about his looks. He doesn't care about like what's going on out there. He just cares about being a good dude, being a family man. And that's why I love him, man. I love being around him. He's always so positive and he can also, by the way, when I, when I train with him, when I was young to the guy, just never stopped talking, never stopped talking. And it was always the best. It was always, that's why he's on TV. And literally from the first day I met him, I was like, this guy is going to be a commentator one day. He's going to be an announcer.

And then he actually landed perfectly in that spot after his football career. And when he signed with Fox too, and I think it was like the first year he signed with Fox was like the first year I did when I first retired. I did a couple of games as well. And I was literally just thinking in my mind, just talking to him,

this guy has landed in the perfect field for him Hey, he's so good. I'm sorry tell her intelligent. Yeah, great storyteller great. He looks like grizzly Adams a little bit He's got an under he's got a under under under under What he's got an underrated chin if grizzly Adams Did have a beard. Yeah Happy Gilmore. Coming out. Number two's coming out soon. Little Matt at Sandler for not hitting this up.

I know. Isn't he a New England guy? Adam Sandler, New England guy. He's from New Hampshire. New England players. But his family grew up in... Like, I don't get it. New York. And that's my favorite movie of all time.

Kelsey's in it. Yeah, he is in it. But... We didn't get hit up. We didn't get hit up. I mean, I can't hate on Travis being in it. I can't either. Travis is freaking Travis. I mean I can't hate on Travis being I can't either Frickin Travis. I mean he's top of his game on the field off the field like I'm just

Disappointed and happy to go more productions. I guess or what is it? Billy Madison Billy Madison happy Madison happy medicine. Well now we're giving him shout outs and he didn't want us in We got no hate jewels. No, we still love him and we're still going to watch Happy Gilmore too. Oh, without a doubt. No doubt about it. And Happy Gilmore is still my favorite movie. I actually watched it about three weeks ago. It was on TV and I never turned it off.

This is what I loved about Greg Olson too. You said he talked a lot. He does talk a lot and that kind of explains why he came out with a rap song. And it was good. It was really good. It was really awesome and explained a lot of details on how they lived life at the University of Miami, which was really cool. I was a big fan, no doubt about it. You were probably a big fan as well. I never listened to it. I lied right there fully, but it was called the seventh floor crew rap. Yes, and it was a legendary rap

song by some of the Miami players in 2003. And they were just doing it, I think, as a joke, from what I've heard Greg Olson say before, like just to have fun, and it just blew up out of nowhere. But it kind of made the universe of Miami even more prominent in my mind, especially at the tight end position. One of his, I think, what was his? His name was Third Leg leg Greg was his name. Third, third leg Greg.

Well, scary weather was in it. Yeah. Scary weather. Third leg Greg is in John Beeson. Oh, he was a beast, man. He was a beast. That's fun. We got to listen to that.
