SET AN EXAMPLE.
NOW, WHAT'S THE FIRST TIME-- WHAT'S THE FIRST TIME YOU MET
THIS CAT?
>> THE FIRST TIME I MET HIM...
IS MY ROOKIE YEAR 2009.
WE JUST CAME IN AFTER ROOKIE MINI-CAMPS.
AND WHEN YOU'RE A ROOKIE, YOU'RE CARRYING AROUND, BACK IN THAT
DAY, 10 YEARS AGO, YOU WOULD HAVE A SIX-INCH BINDER.
NOW EVERYTHING IS ON iPADS.
YOU WOULD GET TO MEETINGS 10 MINUTES EARLY.
GUYS ARE STROLLING, IN THE VETERANS, 30 SECONDS BEFORE.
YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
BUT WHEN YOU'RE A ROOKIE YOU DON'T KNOW.
I'M GOING INTO A MEETING, AND RIGHT IN THE DOOR WAY, TOM
HITS-- RUNS INTO ME.
AND HE GOES, "HEY, I'M TOM."
AND I ALMOST DROPPED MY BOOK.
AND I'M LIKE, "HEY, NICE TO MEET YOU, TOM."
"I'M JULES."
HE SAID, "I'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU, EXCITED TO HAVE YOU ON THE
TEAM."
IT WAS-- IT WAS DEFINITELY A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
>> Stephen: HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN HE HAD HIS FIRST SEASON IN
THE N.F.L.?
>> I WAS-- UH, EIGHTH GRADE, PROBABLY SEVENTH GRADE.
>> Stephen: SO YOU SPENT YOUR TEENAGED YEARS LOOKING UP TO
THIS GUY, I'M GUESSING?
>> WE GREW UP EIGHT MILES FROM EACH OTHER.
HE ALWAYS HAD THE UNDERDOG STORY.
HE ALWAYS HAD TO SCRATCH FOR WHAT HE GOT.
AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS ALWAYS A HUGE FAN OF HIS.
I WAS ALWAYS PULLING FOR HIM.
I WAS A "TOM GUY."
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU HAVE AN INTERESTING WAY OF MOTIVATING
HIM.
WE HAVE A CLIP HERE, AND I WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS
MOTIVATING HIM.
GO.
>> NICE BALL!
NICE BALL!
>> THANKS, BABY.
>> YOU'RE TOO OLD!
YOU'RE TOO OLD!
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: WAS IT-- IT WAS YOUR IDEA OR HIS IDEA TO HAVE
YOU SCREAM, "YOU'RE TOO EFFING OLD" AT HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF A
GAME?
>> YOU KNOW, STEVE, I BLACK OUT SOMETIMES.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING OUT THERE.
>> Stephen: WELL, WE NEED SOME MOTIVATION AROUND HERE
SOMETIMES.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU YELL ON YOUR TEAM TO GET
EVERYBODY MOATED UP.
LIKE, WHAT WOULD YOU YELL AT ME?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE'RE IN THE "LET'S GO," ERA, Y,YOU KNOW.
AND IT CAN BE USED IN SO MANY DIFFERENT CONTEXT S.
>> Stephen: "LET'S GO."
>> "LET'S GO."
>> Stephen: WHEN DO YOU YELL "LET'S GO" ON THE FIELD.
>> AFTER A BAD PLAY THERE CAN BE A "LET'S GO!"
>> Stephen: AFTER A GOOD PLAY?
( QUIETER ) LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
>> Stephen: WHAT ABOUT THERE'S BEEN NO PLAY AND THE GAME HASN'T
EVEN STARTED.
>> YOU'RE SITTING THERE, SITTING NEXT TO YOUR GUY, AND YOU LOOK
AT EACH OTHER, LET'S GO.
LET'S GO.
>> Stephen: IT DOES IT ALL.
IT DOES IT ALL.
>> IT'S-- IT'S A GREAT WORD, TWO WORDS.
>> Stephen: LET'S TRY AN ACTING EXERCISE RIGHT NOW.
SAY "LET'S GO," LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, "I LOVE YOU."
>> "LET'S GO."
>> Stephen: WOW.
I'VE GOT TO SAY... "LET'S GO."
I'M NERVOUS.
I'M PUTTING THESE AWAY FOR FEAR-- NOW, A LOT OF PLAYERS--
THANK GOD-- AFTER WINNING A GAME OR SCORING A TOUCHDOWN, I KNOW
THAT YOU WERE RAISED JEWISH AND YOU-- YOU STILL-- YOU STILL ARE
JEWISH.
>> I WASN'T RAISED JEWISH.
I KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WENT BACK AND TRIED TO SEE WHERE MY
HERITAGE AND SEE WHERE MY FAMILY WAS FROM.
AND I DECIDED JUDAISM PROBABLY 14, 15, JUST KIND OF SEE WHERE
MY GRANDFATHER CAME FROM AND, YOU KNOW, LEARNED THE STORIES OF
THE JEWS, AND THE ADVERSITIES THEY HAD TO OVERCOME, AND THE
UNDERDOGS THAT THEY WERE.
AND IT RELATED TO MY STORY, MY WHOLE LIFE, UP TO THAT POINT,
AND CONTINUING.
AND IT CONNECTED ME WITH IT AND, YOU KNOW, I LIKE TO PRACTICE IT
A LITTLE BIT NOW.
( APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERS )
>> Stephen: DO YOU THINK-- DO YOU THINK GOD MAKES CHOICES IN
WHO WINS FOOTBALL GAMES?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> Stephen: HE SEEMS TO LIKE THE PATRIOTS.
>> I MEAN, I ALWAYS FAST FOR YOM KIPPUR.
>> Stephen: NOT ONLY, THAT NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THERE'S A LITTLE
SHOP ON YOUR-- ON YOUR WEBSITE.
AND THIS IS THE ONLY ITEM THAT'S SOLD OUT ON YOUR WEBSITE.
AND IT'S THE JE11 KIPPAH.
AND WE--, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T ACTUALLY SELL THEM ON OUR
WEBSITE.
BUT WE-- >> COMING TO A BAR MITZVAH NEAR
YOU.
>> Stephen: WE HAD A "LATE SHOW" KIPPAP MADE FOR YOU RIGHT
THERE.
AND I HOPE YOU WILL ACCEPT THIS.
>> I APPRECIATE IT.
>> Stephen: ACCEPT THIS ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE--
>> THANK YOU.
( APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERS )
NICELY DONE.
THAT'S A FIRST.
THAT'S A FIRST!
