00:08 somebody else?

00:09 >> No, I wasn't worried about it.

00:11 It's not in my control.

00:13 What's in my control is what I can do for this team and

00:15 help this team win football games.

00:17 We got Texas and then after that, we got bigger things we're playing for right now.

00:22 So I really wasn't worried about it.

00:24 I was just super excited to be there and just blessed to be in the moment and

00:28 have the opportunity to be out in New York.

00:30 >> Where's that going?

00:58 Cuz it was a quick turnaround.

01:00 It's like announcement, but a week later, we had to be there.

01:03 So between that time, just talking with family, friends,

01:07 just trying to find a way that I can help show my appreciation for

01:13 everybody around me that helped me get to that point.

01:15 >> Yeah.
