APPRECIATION FOR WHAT WE DO
HAVE.
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING THAT I
AM IN A PERPETUAL STATE OF
THANKFULNESS FOR, FOOTBALL,
BRING IN BRETT FAVRE.
HOW ARE YOU, A PLEASURE TO
MAKE YOUR AWARE.
>> ACQUAINTENCE.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME,
I AM THANKFUL FOR FOOTBALL
AS WELL AND THE PACKERS JUST
GOT A BIG WIN.
TREY: AS A COWBOY’S FAN I AM
GOING THROUGH A ROUGH
STRETCH RIGHT NOW.
YOU PLAYED SPORTS AT THIS
ELITE HALL OF FAME LEVEL.
WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM
SPORTS IN TERMS OF GETTING
ALONG WITH ALL DIFFERENT
KINDS OF PEOPLE.
SEEMS THAT SPORTS HAS A
UNIFYING AFFECT ON US.
>> I WOULD AGREE 100%, FOR
ME AND MY TEAMMATES, WE
NEVER SAW COLOR.
OR ETHNIC BACKGROUND, WE WON
TOGETHER, WE LOST TOGETHER.
WE WE SPENT SO MUCH TIME
PROGRAM, YOU JUST -- TIME
TOGETHER, YOU JUST KNEW
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR
TEAMMATES.
I WOULD SAY ONLY PROBLEMS
THAT EVER ERUPTED JUST PETTY
ARGUMENTS OVER WHO WAS
SUPPOSED TO COVER THIS GUY
OR WHO IS TO RUN THAT ROUTE?
YOU KNOW, BUT, PETTY STUFF.
I HAVE SAID THIS SO MANY
TIMES THAT SPORTS SUCH A --
SPECIALLY FOOTBALL, SUCH A
GALVANIZING WAY OF BRINGING
PEOPLE TOGETHER.
AND YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU
ROUTEING FOR YOUR TEAM AND
-- ROOTING FOR YOUR TEAM,
YOU SAID DALLAS IS YOUR TEAM
THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER
PEOPLE OUT THERE ROOTING FOR
DALLAS, I WAS A DALLAS FAN
GROWING UP MYSELF.
YOU KNOW, AGAIN SPORTS IT IS
GALVANIZING.
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE
WOULD DO WITHOUT IT.
TREY: I DON’T KNOW.
YOU MENTIONED GROWING UP, IF
MY RESEARCH IS RIGHT, YOU
WERE NOT HEAVILY RECRUITED
OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AS A
QUARTERBACK, SOME PEOPLE
WANTED TO PLAY DEFENSE FOR
ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO MAY BE
FEEL UNDER APPRECIATED.
DID THAT MOTIVATE YOU HOW
THE RECRUITING COORDINATE
ORSORS GOT IT SO WRONG.
>> I DON’T THINK IF IT WAS
WRONG, THIS IS A TIME THERE
WAS NOT INSTANCE MEDIA, YOU
HAVE TO PHYSICALLY GO AND
SEE A PLAYER PLAY TO
RECRUIT.
YOU DONE HAVE YOUTUBES AND
HUDDLE APPS AND THINGS LIKE
THAT.
BUT MY FATHER WAS MY HEAD
COACH.
HE WAS STUBBORN AS ANY MULE
YOU WILL EVER COME ACROSS.
HE WAS DETERMINED TO RUN THE
FOOTBALL, THAT IS WHAT HE
DID, HE RAN THE WISH BONE
FOR OLDER GENERATION, THEY
KNOW THE WISH BONE.
NEWER GENERATION, IT WAS A
RUNNING FORMATION OFFENSE.
SO, I WAS TALENTED BUT, THE
BULK OF MY THROWS WERE ALL
IN PREGAME.
AND HE WOULD TELL RECRUITERS
WHEN THEY CAME, WE WANT TO
SEE TAPE ON YOUR SON, HE
WOULD SAY YOU WANT TO CATCH
HIM THROW YOU HAVE TO COME
TO PREGAME, I DON’T KNOW IF
THEY GOT IT WRONG.
I THINK SOUTHERN MISS GOT IT
RIGHT, THEY OFFERED MY AT
LAST SECOND.
AND SAW VALUE IN WHAT I
COULD DO.
MORE SO THAN PLAY
QUARTERBACK, I COULD PUNT
AND PLAY DEFENSE AND SPECIAL
TEAMS.
I WANTED TO PLAY
QUARTERBACK.
BUT I HAD TO START AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE TOTE TOTEM
POLE AND WORK MY WAY UP,
THAT IS WHAT I DID.
TREY: I’M SMILING THEY SAY
DEAN SMITH IS ONLY PERSON IN
WORLD THAT COULD HOLD
MICHAEL JORDAN UNDER 20
POINTS A GAME AS HIS HEAD
COACH, YOU COULD HAVE BRETT
FAVRE AS OUR QUARTERBACK AND
STILL WANT TO RUN THE WISH
BONE, BUT YOU CAN’T ARGUE
WITH DAD.
>> I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW MANY
TIMES ONCE I MADE IT IN PRO
FOOTBALL, MY DAD AND I WOULD
BE IN THE TRUCK, HE WOULD
START TRYING TO COACH ME.
ON THE PLAYS THAT I DID
WRONG DURING THE GAME.
YOU KNOW, SON YOU WERE 28
FOR 32, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN
YOU KNOW -- I WOULD SAY DAD,
WAIT.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT.
YOU RAN THE WISH BONE, YOU
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
PASSING THE FOOTBALL.
AND NOW YOU WILL TEACH ME OR
TRY TO TELL ME HOW TO PASS?
I’M NOT HAVING IT.
TREY: I TELL YOU THIS.
I WAS A DALLAS FAN, I PULLED
FOR YOU.
I WAS A BRIT BRETT FAVRE
