00:00No, I just wanted Matt to be able to have a special night, you know, and be able to kind of enjoy all that he's earned and worked for, you know, he's just so consistent for so long, it's probably above all, just I know how hard it is to keep showing up week in and week out, year in and year out, stay healthy and be productive and be consistent.
00:19And that's who Matt was and you talk about character, grit, resolve, I mean he had all that in spades and I remember being a rookie and watching him play and I was just a backup and just trying to almost, you know, study him from the sideline because I admired his game and wanted my game to look like his and so I saw him, he was walking out as I was walking in at halftime and I just said, hey Matt, you know, kind of grabbed his attention and said congrats, you know, it's something that's pretty special, you know, I don't know that I'll have an opportunity to be in a ring of honor.
00:48So, you know, it's a special deal for him to be able to do that.
00:51And for you tonight to hit 500, does that mean anything to you specifically and have you hit 500?
00:58I had, you know, Fitzy asked me on the field, he said you hit 500 in Pop Warner, I said no, I, you know, I didn't hit 400 until the NFL and then this is the first time doing that, but honestly, I mean, needed an extra quarter to get there with overtime.
