3:09
wake up everybody no more sleeping in
3:12

3:15
that song me and my little girl we rock
3:16
out and then I let her listen to a song
3:18
and I come back to you guys wow man
3:20
morning it's interesting how I greeted
3:21
Dante Heather when I went into the lobby
3:24
uh I just squared up on him like Lester
3:26
Hayes and told him he couldn't get by me
3:27
and and then what happened tell him what
3:29
happened sway I can tell you yeah he
3:32
okay Heather go ahead I I stood right
3:34
but I was like what are you doing like
3:36
why sway why would you when you see
3:39
athletes something happens to your body
3:41
and then something happens to your mind
3:43
and I watch it forms and like if it's a
3:46
hockey player you like it the basketball
3:50
players you saying I I could dunk on you
3:52
David Weber just walked in I told him
3:53
like a junk like a dunk on them yeah for
3:55
no reason and the football players you
3:57
just start with this thing foot because
4:01
you know all pro athletes you know we
4:03
all kind of have this thing it's called
4:05
the body buzz and when we see each other
4:08
we just kind of want to test each other
4:09
out for a moment you know and I tested
4:11
Dante to see if he still had it did I
4:13
still have it you you got you got it you
4:15
still got
4:17
it that fool did a quick jerk I was
4:22
like and my Tims too ra B I saw you okay
4:26
Dante pouring syrup on the P I hear how
4:28
you been hating on Chiefs in me lately
4:30
you don't have to I know what he said
4:31
earlier Billy talk I know what he said
4:34
but I would never fight my guy sway ever
4:37
yeah thank you brother so you heard him
4:39
say he's taking the 49ers in the Super
4:41
Bowl I did hear him say that I did say
4:43
that how did make you feel when you when
4:45
you heard that he know he gets it I I
4:47
think Al Davis is rolling over in his
4:49
grave right now well you
4:52
know there's no way I could root for the
4:55
Chiefs there is a way Al Davis would be
4:58
rolling over in his grave if I did but
5:00
Al Davis and my guy Lamar Hunt they
5:02
formed the NFL together okay speak on
5:05
that yeah so Al Davis and Lamar Hunt you
5:07
know they used to be um owners of the
5:09
AFL it would be no NFL if it wasn't for
5:12
my guy Lamar Hunt which is the AFC
5:15
trophy namesake and Al Davis coming
5:19
together so we got to come together s
5:21
Spirit of Al Davis and Lam more hunt
5:24
together and root for the Chiefs exactly
5:27
this guy is good give it up for
5:30
that was a great
5:32
campaign Al Davis but what what is it
5:35
that you admire about Al Davis you spoke
5:37
on that I mean the fact that you know
5:38
you go against this Corporation
5:41
Juggernaut being the NFL back in the day
5:44
you know he wanted to uh he wanted a
5:46
nice stadium for your Raiders yeah and
5:48
Pete Rosel would not give it to him and
5:50
he went to court went and fought the NFL
5:52
anytime you fight a corporation like the
5:55
NFL I can admire that because that's not
5:57
the easyest thing to do uhuh and you
5:59
usually come out on the bad end of that
6:01
but he came out on the good end wow that
6:03
you your Insight to the NFL is really
6:05
interesting two things I want to talk
6:06
about locker room C culture you know and
6:09
the fact that you're still attached to
6:11
the NFL you're still an ambassador for
6:13
the Chiefs and you do all of these
6:15
different things working with the NFL
6:17
what what is the culture like how do you
6:18
navigate when you first come in do you
6:20
got a kiss ass do you got it does it
6:22
click up what is the behavior so I
6:24
wouldn't say kiss ass but you definitely
6:26
have to play the game there is some
6:28
politics in sports
6:29
um you know you would think that these
6:32
coaches and these GMS are going to just
6:34
basically judge you off of talent no
6:36
they're going to judge you off pretty
6:38
much everything except Talent once you
6:39
get to the NFL you're in the NFL because
6:42
you have talent now how do you get on
6:44
the field how do you get in position to
6:45
succeed do the little things be on time
6:48
maybe sit at in the front row um go to
6:51
practice early stay at the practice late
6:54
they're watching all of these little
6:55
bitty things and it's guys that's not
6:57
even your head coach that you probably
6:59
have never seen watching your every move
7:02
what are you doing off the field are you
7:03
coming in smelling and wreaking like
7:05
alcohol the next day all of these little
7:07
bitty intangibles is what allows you
7:11
myself uh to get on the field now if you
7:14
you a generational Talent like you know
7:16
uh Tyreek Hill or what's my man T Terell
7:20
orens people like that you can get away
7:22
with a lot more but if you're a little
7:24
guy like myself and you're just trying
7:25
to find your way which is 98% of the
7:28
leag yeah play the bro don't be don't be
7:31
too cool don't be too cool Dante Hall is
7:33
here what is the locker room like I
7:35
remember watching the seasons where
7:36
Russell Wilson was just catching it you
7:38
know what I mean and you never been in
7:41
that particular locker room but catching
7:43
it on the field from the coach right
7:45
which seemed made us all uncomfortable
7:47
to see that regardless what what happens
7:50
in those sit situations when the team is
7:52
that far down you see that kind of
7:54
behavior and y'all go in the locker room
7:57
it depends on the guy okay see that
7:59
coach knows he can do that to Russell
8:01
okay I bet he wouldn't have did that to
8:02
Maron Lynch ah you know what I mean even
8:05
myself I had a situation my rookie year
8:09
five games into the season a coach kind
8:12
of got in my face like that yeah and
8:15
before I knew it my hands was around his
8:17
neck and I didn't play the rest of the
8:19
year thank thank the good man upstairs
8:23
he got fired and then dick rill came in
8:26
Saved My Career wowow so it just depends
8:28
on the guy depends on the guy depends on
8:30
the guy all right Dante Hall is here man
8:32
let me ask you about kick and punt
8:34
returning you know you did that yeah I
8:37
did
8:38
this I ran I ran a couple back too at
8:41
what level sway doesn't matter I played
8:43
football man what do you mean was level
8:46
Pop Warner you know what it is that's
8:48
that's where all football that's where
8:50
all football careers begin brother the
8:52
same level you played at I never played
8:54
pop
8:57
warning ain't that song
8:59
hey pull
9:02
out get out s go ahead Dante Hall let me
9:06
ask you this
9:08
man what what what what as a punt and
9:11
kick returner um it's one of the most
9:13
dangerous jobs on the field like
9:15
literally a ball is hanging in the air
9:17
for five seconds and people are running
9:19
full speed towards you that you can't
9:22
really look at because you got to keep
9:24
your eye on the ball that requires a
9:27
different kind of person can you speak
9:28
on
9:30
it actually does and I didn't realize it
9:32
you know when you're young you feel like
9:33
you're King Kong right yeah when I got
9:36
into my 30s and I looked back at what I
9:38
did as a career option like whoa like
9:42
something was wrong yeah but to your
9:44
point it's one of the most dangerous
9:46
positions and um with this concussion
9:48
thing uh these new rules you notice
9:50
they' pushed the kickoffs back they're
9:52
trying to limit how many kick returns
9:55
guys have the reason being when they did
9:57
um the research they found that I think
9:59
over 30% basically the majority of
10:02
concussions came from
10:05
kickoffs kickoffs not necessarily and
10:08
then the other majority is you know when
10:09
you're uh at practice there's a lot of
10:11
banging going on at practice inside
10:13
drill and stuff like that but as far as
10:15
game it's it's all about the kickoff
10:18
that's where majority of the headaches
10:21
come from but that's where like if
10:22
you're not a starters 53 guys on the
10:24
team so you do 111 it's 22 if you're not
10:26
one of those 22 you have to play special
10:29
team so guys would literally put their
10:32
lives on the line to make it make the
10:34
team um to make that money take care of
10:37
their families literally will put their
10:39
livelihoods on the line and that was on
10:42
special team what's the hardest hit you
10:43
received look with your eyes in in the
10:46
air looking for the ball um I've
10:49
actually never been hit that hard on
10:51
special teams to be honest the hardest
10:52
hit I've ever taken um the first one
10:55
that comes in my John Lynch dirty safety
10:58
that you used to play for the uh um de
11:01
Broncos not a GM for San Francisco 49ers
11:04
for the 49ers he yo I didn't he he hit
11:08
me across I didn't even know what a linx
11:10
was until he hit it and I couldn't talk
11:12
for like two weeks wow so that was he
11:14
declet me that's when you know going
11:15
across the middle they could actually
11:17
take your head off and it was just 15
11:19
uhhuh yeah 2002 I believe and then
11:22
another one um um what's my guy from
11:25
Miami Sean Sean uh I don't know Miami
11:28
players don't do
11:30
that terrible Dan
11:33
Marino the guy that got killeded Sean
11:36
Mar Sean Mar Sean the blank Sean Taylor
11:41
for he played for Washington man y Sean
11:44
Taylor um rest in peace rest in power as
11:46
you guys say um he hit me I had a hip
11:50
Horner you ever had a hip Horner swe
11:52
yeah I had that when I was younger you
11:54
know what I thought I was paralyzed okay
11:56
literally thought I was paralyzed so
11:57
those two hits or the first two hits
11:59
that come to mind yo man Dante Hall is
12:02
here man I didn't even know I was going
12:03
to like this guy cuz he's a Kansas City
12:05
chief
12:05
dude man me and this guy all right we
12:08
all right all right okay hether go ahead
12:10
go ahead I have a couple of questions
12:12
cuz you spoke about making a team for us
12:14
as fans sitting and watching we watch
12:17
you know the combine sometimes we watch
12:20
the draft day um take us through that
12:22
process and how competitive is it
12:24
because my understanding Dante is like
12:26
okay you you guys go to college and we
12:28
always talk here is like I don't ever
12:30
remember anybody going straight to high
12:33
school to the NFL it's always you have
12:35
to go through the college program in
12:37
order to go to the NFL um but take us
12:39
through that process is it that
12:41
competitive in the combine What It's
12:43
Like on draft day if your name is not
12:45
called and then trying to get into to
12:47
the league because I'm home crying like
12:49
I know these kids but I'm just so happy
12:51
for them because the reality is your
12:53
life changes like you said you're ready
12:54
to take care of your family yeah so
12:56
let's just start with the
12:56
competitiveness of the combine everyone
12:59
is not even invited only
13:01
225 uh 250 I believe uh players are
13:05
invited to the combine so just do the
13:07
math on that it's like what 90 guys per
13:10
college team 10 what 13 115 colleges do
13:15
the math so it's competitive just to
13:17
even get to the combine wow now once
13:19
you're at the combine um you know if you
13:23
like I said earlier it's levels to all
13:24
of this right depending on where you're
13:26
at um as far as draft
13:29
picks are concerned um you may not even
13:31
need to perform right your your work on
13:33
the field is done its work but the
13:35
majority of us it's definitely all about
13:38
the shuttle 40 yard bench press but I'm
13:42
going tell you what's more important
13:43
than anything they are checking out your
13:45
character they're peing you as a person
13:48
they already know you're fast they know
13:50
if you're strong they see they have tape
13:52
on you yeah they know the stats they
13:54
know the stats so they can confirm that
13:55
you know giving you these drills but
13:57
more than anything they checking you out
13:59
in person trying to get to know you as a
14:02
person because it's an investment if you
14:04
had a stock and you wanted to invest in
14:06
any stock you're going to do your due
14:08
diligence right yeah absolutely you are
14:09
a stock you are a commodity to these
14:12
people they're going to give you a
14:13
signing bonus they're going to give you
14:14
money if you a draft selection that is
14:16
an investment into their company so
14:20
they're trying to do their due diligence
14:22
on you not the player the person Dante
14:24
Hall Kansas City Chiefs let me take one

D what's up what's up in the morning
17:21
what up baby hey will go ahead will hey
17:24
I got a question for Dante um Dante Hall
17:27
let's go back
17:29
20 plus years the NFL Europe
17:33
days back when you played for the
17:35
Scottish claym
17:37
wow yeah yeah what you know about that
17:40
yeah let's talk about that landscape
17:42
because I know you we wrote all the
17:45
records for the Scottish Claymores talk
17:47
about that experience uh up in Edinburgh
17:50
well it was it was actually uh in Glasco
17:52
Scotland and um that experience
17:55
basically forget the football part that
17:57
changed me as as a human being because
17:59
the first time I'm from Texas originally
18:02
I played ball at Texas A&M so for the
18:04
first 21 years of my life I really
18:06
didn't leave Texas but maybe a handful
18:08
of times so here I am after my rookie
18:11
year mind you I've made it to the NFL
18:14
I've left Texas ANL now I got to go
18:17
overseas to try to switch positions to
18:20
make the team the following year I
18:22
honestly thought they were trying to cut
18:24
me to be honest I thought this is some
18:26
political business savvy way cut me but
18:29
they were legit wanting me to go over
18:31
switch from being a running back to
18:33
being a receiver that all worked out but
18:36
for me it BR my Horizon so much it made
18:39
me um um appreciate other cultures
18:42
because I had to adapt like well I come
18:44
from and all of a sudden I'm in Scotland
18:47
it's like you either going to have a
18:48
pity party every day because it's cold
18:51
it's rainy the people are different
18:53
don't look like you don't talk like you
18:55
or you can adapt and just Embrace a new
18:58
coach culture learn their culture learn
19:00
their ways embrace the people and that
19:02
kind of I took that with me when I left
19:04
Scotland and now I feel like I can tap
19:07
in with any culture and learn about you
19:10
know different walks of life wow great
19:12
question man hey Will you're a citizen
19:14

19:16

19:23

19:30
white boy that all the black kids fell
19:32
in love with because they strive for a
19:34
white supremist American Dream you know
19:37
what yeah that movie I saw it Michelle
19:39
go ahead I agree how I agree with you
19:42
that it is not a staple but anyway
19:45
anyway I'm calling again to agree with
19:48
you again that the 49ers are going to
19:51
win the Super Bowl give him Round of
19:52
Applause for somebody with some sense
19:54
man come
19:55
on yeah yeah yeah sound so you're
19:59
betting against Patrick Mahomes and
20:01
riding with Brock
20:03
pie sound funny riding with sweat that's
20:07
what it is all day I love y'all love you
20:10
too you can take the word with out of it
20:12
all right Michelle you a
20:16
[Music]
20:17
citizen get out y'all catch it y'all
20:20
catch we already caugh sports report be
20:23
friendly but let's talk about it though
20:24
let's talk about the Super Bowl Tracy go
20:26
ahead yeah Dante I'm happy that you're
20:28
here you know I I don't know much about
20:31
football admittedly but I am always
20:34
fascinated with human potential and so
20:36
hearing about the greats and the process
20:38
I'm always going to have um a listening
20:40
ear when you were talking about all of
20:42
the obvious wear and tear that comes
20:45
with being a professional football
20:47
player um it made me think about how
20:49
there's also wear and tear on the
20:52
mind is there like um when you are a
20:56
part of the NFL do they also sit set you
20:58
up with like a therapist what are the
21:01
different means of Rehabilitation that
21:05
are provided for you mentally that's a
21:07
great question so they definitely have
21:08
therapists and counselors and uh and uh
21:11
invest investment people but here's the
21:14
thing you're not in high school you're
21:15
not in college anymore you have to agree
21:18
to accept the help that they are trying
21:20
to give so like for instance um a lot of
21:24
athletes when they retire have Financial
21:26
issues or the NFL they had program where
21:28
you can invest they would just take it
21:30
from your check you never saw it Iris
21:33
annuities 401ks different type of little
21:35
thing but you had to accept it sign off
21:38
that they cond duct your money they
21:40
can't make you same with counseling same
21:42
with therapy it's all there for you but
21:44
they cannot force you to go into these
21:47
different um Rams for help unless you
21:50
sign up for it so I think a lot of times
21:52
when people are like or the NFL or why
21:54
aren't they doing more for the players
21:56
yep they can offer it they just can't
21:58
make you accept it what percentage of
22:01
NFL players do you think actually take
22:03
help 10% 10% 10% because here's what you
22:07
got to understand right when you're 2122
22:10
I know at 2122 I'm not accepting it you
22:13
have to make it to your second and third
22:15
contracts that's when you're a little
22:16
more mature you're able to realize what
22:18
the help is and as you get older what
22:22
happens is you know you realize okay
22:25
these is these are all good things for
22:27
me right but when you young you don't
22:29
accept it and what happens is most guys
22:30
don't make it past that first contract
22:32
so they never mature enough to get to
22:34
the level of thinking and realizing that
22:37
this is help for me it's not I'm trying
22:38
to take for me so it's all about if you
22:41
can make to that second and third
22:42
contract I think everything else falls
22:44
into place thank you Dante Hall Kansas
22:47
City Kansas City Chiefs alumni has
22:50
joined us this morning we're talking
22:52
about the Super Bowl Heather let's just
22:53
ask him the qu what so
22:55
you you have no doubt in your mind mind
22:58
who's going to
22:59
win that's for me uh I mean I'm not
23:02
going to J you know [ __ ] on the 49ers
23:05
like that like they are a legit team
23:08
legit organization they're always
23:09
knocking on on the door year in and year
23:12
out what I'm basing everything on is
23:15
Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes okay that
23:18
experience matters like I told people
23:21
going into that game last week as I love
23:23
Lamar Jackson he's my favorite
23:26
player my second favorite quarterback
23:28
second favorite player um I went into
23:31
that thinking the stages is going to be
23:34
too big for him I've seen it I've seen
23:37
it so many times right and um until
23:39
you've gone through that several times I
23:42
just don't think it's an easy thing to
23:44
get over because I was fortunate enough
23:46
to play in two playoff games it's so
23:48
different from the preseason regular
23:50
season say regular season Monday night
23:52
game Thursday night game and then the
23:54
playoffs you if you feel it as a fan
23:57
think about this if you feel nervous and
23:59
butterflies as a fan what do you think
24:01
the players are feeling for real and
24:03
it's guys like Patrick Mahomes turn
24:05
break these guys are different because
24:06
they could suppress that and find a way
24:08
to execute anyway and I just have not
24:10
seen that yet from Lamar when the chips
24:13
are on the table how do you react it's
24:16
always different as you're speaking I'm
24:17
thinking about CJ stra what do you think
24:19
it is with him this to me I know he's a
24:22
rookie it's only one season one he is so
24:25
poised and I don't know what how you get
24:28
do you do you develop that in these
24:29
different trainings or you just think
24:31
that's a natural gift I I think it's
24:33
natural definitely it's a natural thing
24:35
um the other thing plan at Ohio State
24:38
that definitely helps the program there
24:40
oh that program you know Ohio state is
24:42
for real because that particular program
24:44
you're in the state of uh you know
24:46
Michigan um like that is all football
24:51
right so you got these big city colleges
24:53
and so much more going on but when the
24:55
attention is totally football Michigan
24:57
Ohio all got yeah it makes a big
25:00
difference so that's number one I think
25:02
his coach Deo Ryan helps give him that
25:04
confidence and thirdly the system he's
25:07
in the system the system okay he's in so
25:10
when you're comfortable and you feel
25:12
confident you're able to go out and
25:14
perform and I think those three things
25:15
is why CJ has such a great first year
25:18
yeah who what is going to be the
25:20
score you doing anything to make him
25:23
seem
25:24
wrong you digging for scor now be the
25:28
score like what's going to be the spread
25:30
Mr Kansas City chief
25:32
alumni NFL player I think Chiefs win by
25:38
six I give you 33
25:42
27 3327 specific numbers right
