So 16 paychecks, which that's how many you get per season?
It is, usually, unless you get playoff checks, which
I didn't get a whole lot until last year.
I played eight years on a really bad team.
All right.
[LAUGHING]
What team were you on last year?
The Rams, who are good now.
Oh, yes.
[LAUGHING]
No coincidence.
Yeah, I was going to say what does
that feel like when you leave a team and they get better?
That's not good.
I'm happy for my guys.
Yeah.
I still talk to a lot of them, so I'm happy for them.
But you're on the Eagles, now.
Yeah, and I was on the Patriots last year.
Yeah.
Got little jewelry.
Yeah, you did.
You have many, many rings, don't you?
Haven't you won a few times?
I just one once.
Oh,
I thought you won a few times.
No.
But we can go with that.
All right, let's do that.
[LAUGHING]
All right, so 16 checks.
How much is 16 checks to you?
Just shy of a million, yeah.
OK.
[APPLAUSE]
So all of those are going to charity?
Yeah.
All of those?
Yeah, absolutely.
And what charity is it going to?
All of those are going to scholarships,
and then the last 10 are going to an initiative
we started called Pledge 10.
And what we're doing is giving back
to the communities I played in, Philadelphia, Boston, and St.
Louis.
So they're going to various great organizations that
encourage educational equity.
[APPLAUSE]
And it's amazing that you're doing this.
So you're really just playing and you're not
getting paid this year.
And who inspired you to do this?
You know, I have a great platform.
My dad played in the league for 13 years.
He didn't have the opportunities I had growing up.
And he gave me that through football.
So I've always tried to give back.
My mom is an awesome example.
She's worked with the Boys and Girls Club for a long time.
So football, for me, while it's fun,
I don't get the fulfillment out of that, alone.
So, selfishly, the charity stuff makes
me feel good, makes me feel like I'm doing--
I'm not just playing ball.
I'm doing something bigger than that.
Yeah, that's--
[APPLAUSE]
--that's what we should do.
That's what we should feel.
That's amazing.
So there's a lot of controversy right now
in the NFL with all these--
the players kneeling and everything.
And you support-- well, I'm not going
to put words in your mouth.
What's your stance?
Well, my stance has always been, since day one,
that I support players rights to protest peacefully.
With my foundation, we work with veterans a lot.
But they tell you a lot that the first thing they fight for
is our right to peacefully protest.
And, you know, our players are bringing up very valid points.
So I think, as Americans, we can all listen.
And I would never kneel because of my relationship
with veterans.
But, certainly, I think these players are bringing up
great points, and they're trying to improve their communities,
and America, subsequently.
[APPLAUSE]
So as you said, you got a little bit of jewelry.
You were invited to go to the White House last year,
and you did not go.
I didn't.
Why not?
[APPLAUSE]
Well, for me, it was a personal choice.
I mean, when I realized, hey, we're pretty good.
We might have a shot to win.
And subsequently, what I heard is,
you get to go to the White House.
I'm probably going to skip that one.
And my man kind of lost me with his campaign.
And I just made the decision that I
don't think I would feel like a real guy
if I didn't follow my heart and say that's just not for me.
I think people going is fine.
I'm not-- that's an indictment on them for showing up.
But for me, it didn't jive with my personal ideologies
and opinions.
Good for you.
[APPLAUSE]
If I won the Super Bowl, I wouldn't have gone, either.
So--
[LAUGHING]
We would have had a White House viewing party or something.
So the Eagles are doing great, right?
And there's a video of you dancing that I have not seen,
but people think that I should see it.
So let's watch it together.
It's you dancing.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
[LAUGHING]
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
[CHEERING]
Well--
You were happy.
It's a happy dance.
You make a play, you got to dance.
My D linemen, they really get a kick out of my dancing.
I think it's an art form, but they think it's actually--
[LAUGHING]
--they think it's laughable.
All dance-- well, all dance form--
dance is art form.
And it doesn't matter.
Who are they to judge you?
Exactly.
How dare they.
Yeah, you--
I'm to keep dancing.
--you keep dancing.
Not here today.
I pulled my hamstring this morning.
I can't dance with you guys.
Whatever.
[DISAPPOINTED LAUGHING]
That's-- to lie to get out of dancing is just wrong.
It's--
It's unethical.
All right, what you're doing is amazing.
My friends at Cheerios and I are trying
to reach our goal of one million acts of good.
So we're going to give you $30,000 towards Pledge 10
for Tomorrow.
Are you kidding?
That's $10,000 for each city--
[CHEERING]
Thank you so much.
Are you kidding me?
--that you're raising money for.
My god.
Thank you for doing what you're doing.
Thank you.
