I have known you since she was literally a baby
I cannot believe that Kennedy is six.
Six years old!
Growing rapidly.
Look how tall she is!
So big.
What a young lady.
Oh, bless her.
She's such a personality, such a character
What is she?
(laughter)
Get your, he's with his daughter stop it.
(crowd laughing)
Did you hear that whole section over there?
Oh.
(laughter)
His mother is right here.
Shame on you, girls.
I agree with you, but shame on you girls.
(laughter)
So what is Kennedy into?
Is she into sports, is she into art, is she into music,
is she into everything?
She's into it all, all the above.
Everything.
She loves music,
she's asking me to turn things up in the car.
Oh, cool.
She's like, "Daddy, turn that up."
Taylor Swift is like her favorite right now.
Oh, that's great.
So every time she hears that song she turns it up.
My favorite part is that she goes to a
language emergent school,
Oh, fabulous.
So I can speak to her in Spanish when she comes home
and she takes twice a week,
she's in a Mandarin class for two hours.
Shut up!
She's getting it all right now.
She's gonna be so much smarter than us.
Exactly.
(laughter)
Than all of us.
We'll be like, what did she just say?
I have no idea.
Just nod and agree.
Just say sure, yeah, I don't know.
So what's up with the Victor Cruz Foundation?
What's the good works going on over there?
Well first of all, the Victor Cruz Foundation's
good towards STEM education
and we partner with different organizations
across the U.S.
and just continue to provide hands-on experiences
for my kids, specifically at the Boys and Girls Club
to just learn science in a hands-on way.
To make it cool again.
Just make it cool.
The way I learned science and I'm sure most of you,
you just sit in a classroom
and you just hear a teacher regurgitate things
from a book and as soon as you walk out,
you forget everything she just told you.
Yup.
You're just trying to learn enough
to finish your homework or something like that.
This provides kids to build things with their hands
and build things with computers and things like that.
They don't even know it's technology,
they don't even know it's science,
they're just having fun.
Exactly.
So that's the best part is coordinating the two
and then later you tell them,
hey, you can get a job doing this.
And they're like, what?
That's being an engineer, and that's science.
Exactly.
So cool. And so necessary.
(clapping)
Now we're going to play a little game,
Call It Like You See It,
so because you're an analyst now,
I see this buzzer here, this is like a thing.
Oh yeah, we spared every expense.
(laughter)
The fake buzzer that's attached to nothing.
Okay.
Basically he's gonna hit the button,
we're gonna show some scenes,
right guys some sports headlines or something?
Sure.
Sports headlines and then you break it down for us.
Whatever, hit that whenever you want
Boom.
End Zone Celebrations, well obviously.
(laughter)
Hello, hi.
Hello.
I'm a fan of them,
I love the fact that the rules on end zone celebrations
have been loosened up a little bit more now,
so guys can use the pile-on and use the football as a prop.
Some guys saw, a couple of good ones
have been the bowling pins.
Oh yeah, yeah, I love that.
One guy scores and guys line up and you throw the ball.
Cute.
Those are all good.
That just helps the game, it helps the kids.
I remember being young and seeing those Wide Receivers
do those special celebrations
and now that they're getting the team involved
and making it a thing.
Yeah I think you gotta loosen up about it,
I think it's adorable actually.
Exactly
Unless somebody's literally making fun of the other team.
Exactly, yeah.
(clapping)
It's fun.
That was fun.
If I cross that line, I would be shaking everything I got.
(laughter)
Alright, hit it.
Alright, let's do it.
One more.
NFL Players Competing on Dancing With the Stars.
(laughter)
I think it's great.
I think obviously I've had a former teammate of mine,
Rashad Jennings perform on the show
and I think it's great,
I think it's a way for football players to show themselves,
I'm saying this like I've never done a show,
I should be on the show,
I would never do that show.
About the show.
Those costumes, no!
No.
That's what I'm scared of because I'm the salsa guy.
I know, right.
They're gonna have me in this full leotard.
Yes, sparkles everywhere and like wings.
(laughter)
They totally would, man.
They absolutely would,
but I think it's fun,
I think the guys that have won obviously,
I think the majority of the guys that have won
have been football players, right?
They have, we've had several.
We've had them on the show over the years, too.
It shows a fun side of people,
and they think of it as like a he-man sport
and they come out and they're sexy on the dance floor,
it's cool.
And the training for it is intense.
There's weeks of preparation.
I just saw a video of DeMarcus Ware on my socials
and he like, snapped his finger out of place
during rehearsals.
I'm like, how hard are you practicing?
(laughter)
It really is extremely athletic..
Exactly.
People don't appreciate the discipline it takes
Very true.
For dance.
We love you, Victor, you always make time for us.
