00:00 Tailgate ready? Let's go!
00:02 What's up playmakers?
00:04 This is BMW's tailgate tour. For fans of football, Sunday is way more than a game.
00:10 It's an experience to come out, have fun, and that's what we're about to do.
00:14 We're about to check out what your favorite fans are doing in their tailgate, and as always,
00:19 I'm riding up in the BMW X5 Hybrid.
00:22 [Music]
00:31 I think the hybrid just no noise. The ride is so smooth just riding in.
00:37 It's just been a great ride. I think BMW did an awesome job.
00:41 Let's go check it out.
00:42 What is it like being here traveling in New Jersey at MetLife,
00:47 but bringing this Commander's energy? What are you expecting today?
00:51 We're expecting a W, that's for sure. First and foremost.
00:54 But I mean, I'm from Jersey, so this is home anyway.
00:56 So we're coming over to take over our home anyway.
00:59 Commander's all day.
01:00 You worry about the Jets fans as you go in there?
01:02 Oh man, you always got to worry about the Jets fans.
01:04 They're a little loose. They're a little loose, but we ready.
01:06 We ready, yeah. We can hold our own. We can hold our own.
01:10 I know a little bit about Hudson County. I got my money on y'all.
01:13 Come on up. Come on up, man.
01:14 I live in D.C. I travel up here from D.C.
01:16 Okay, came from D.C.
01:18 Why'd you choose to go with the Sean Taylor legendary safety?
01:21 What made you pick that today?
01:23 It's a hard hitter.
01:24 Yeah.
01:24 If he track passing, we'll be the best of all time.
01:28 But you know, we got to live through him. That's all we can do.
01:31 Let's get that W on Christmas so I can drive home safe back to D.C.
01:35 What is the belief? How do we feel about Sam Howell and his future going forward?
01:43 I like Sam. I think he just needs some big fat guys at front that can block.
01:48 I like that.
01:49 Because you've seen the games, he can pick you apart.
01:51 I mean, he do hold the ball too long, but you know, there's growing pains.
01:54 He's going to learn. We got to get the front linemen.
01:56 We got to get those fat guys. He can block.
01:58 He can tear you apart all day. That's how I feel about him.
02:01 All right, I need to know.
02:02 Top two things that you would love to have at every tailgate?
02:05 Liquor and music.
02:08 I don't know. This is my first time.
02:11 This is your first tailgate? All right.
02:13 What was the expectation?
02:14 What was the one thing that you knew you wanted to have at the tailgate?
02:18 I don't know. Just come with my son and my husband.
02:20 Christmas time and it's all about the family.
02:23 Where would you go? What do you need?
02:24 Beautiful women at the tailgate.
02:26 We always find them and that's what we're looking for.
02:27 A gorgeous, beautiful woman.
02:28 We out here looking. We out here looking. Let's go.
02:31 Hey, Commanders got the tailgate going on.
02:33 It might not be many of them, but the energy is here and they're ready to see a double against the Jets.
02:38 Hey, look out, Jets fans. Let's go.
02:40 All right, it's not many Commanders fans, but we're searching.
02:45 And look, we found two young Commanders fans.
02:48 Who's your favorite player on the team?
02:50 Terry McLaurin.
02:52 Terry McLaurin. How about you?
02:53 Sam Howell.
02:54 Sam Howell. There we go.
02:55 So are you more of the quarterback and you throw to... How does it work?
02:59 I used to play running back and quarterback.
03:03 And what position do you play?
03:04 A wide receiver.
03:05 There we go.
03:06 Hey, Washington, you got two future players right here.
03:10 Gearing up, coming out here. It's cold.
03:11 Christmas Eve, ready to watch the team get a win.
03:14 Let's go. Give me some.
03:16 Here we go. Have fun today.
03:18 What has it been like having that passion?
03:21 And now you see your young kids and they have the same passion.
03:26 Sam Howell, Terry McLaurin. How cool is that?
03:28 I mean, it is really cool.
03:30 It's painful, but it's cool.
03:32 We're more of future stars, right?
03:35 Yeah, and we're looking towards the future.
03:37 We got Sam Howell.
03:38 We're going to get ourselves a good O-line.
03:40 Hopefully, hopefully, Marvin Harrison Jr. comes to us, right?
03:43 Or all... We're going to be good. We're going to be good.
03:46 And now we got these guys. We got the new generation.
03:48 And we're going to pump it up for them.
03:50 Do you have a favorite tailgate memory growing up as a kid
03:55 or even as an adult where you had just a time of your life at a tailgate?
03:58 The greatest tailgate memory I have was hanging out with Clinton Portis
04:02 back in the stadium in D.C.
04:05 What are you expecting today from your Washington team?
04:08 What are you hopeful for today?
04:12 Jacoby Brissett, he wants to see.
04:13 Yeah, Jacoby Brissett.
04:15 I'm on the Brissett train now.
04:16 Jacoby Brissett is my guy.
04:19 I've known him since he was a young pup.
04:22 But you want to see him... You're done with Sam Howell?
04:25 I don't know, man.
04:26 I just think you're at a spot where you got to draft a guy next year,
04:29 go a different direction, new coach maybe.
04:32 It's a weird spot. It's the same thing.
04:34 You're in, you're out. That's it.
04:36 What is it like tailgating, being out here
04:40 surrounded by a lot of green?
04:41 There's a lot of Jets fans out here, but you still came and rocked your gear.
04:45 What's it like being in enemy territory?
04:47 I love it, man. I love it.
04:49 Used to be a Jet fan growing up, so nothing better.
04:52 Friends, family, football. Christmas, baby.
04:54 Man, he's been over here looking at you crazy.
04:57 He's like, "Oh, you used to be a Jet."
04:58 What made you make the switch?
05:00 Too many diehard fans like these guys, man.
05:04 They kicked me out. They kicked me out early.
05:07 He said, he said, they said he was a Jets fan.
05:10 He got tired of losing, so he went and lost more.
05:13 I don't understand, man. What is he doing?
05:15 What is he doing?
05:17 This is the key thing about today, though.
05:20 Rutgers, he got on the Rutgers gear.
05:22 Red team, upstream.
05:26 Rah, rah, Rutgers rah.
05:28 We are all Rutgers.
05:29 If you don't know, I got my red on for a reason.
05:32 When I'm in Jersey, I'm rocking red for Rutgers.
05:34 There we go, selfies.
05:35 There we go.
05:40 How do you leave the Jets and go to Washington, man?
05:43 I don't know. That's my plan.
05:44 He's confused. He's confused.
05:46 Best part of today, to me, was just the family atmosphere.
05:50 To see some of these fans, some of these men and women who
05:54 come into the game and they talk about coming as kids,
05:56 and now they're here with their sons and daughters,
05:59 talking about the experience of being a fan,
06:02 and now bringing your kids and watching them.
06:04 That's something that I want to do someday,
06:06 of going back to games with my kids and being fans
06:09 and tailgating and having fun, doing it on Christmas Eve.
06:13 This is kind of like the ultimate gift, I think,
06:15 for a lot of families, being out there,
06:17 celebrating and spending time together.
06:20 Big shout out to New York and Washington.
06:22 Their fans definitely brought the energy
06:24 and showed us why tailgating and why sports and football
06:28 is so much fun, is because the fans love it
06:31 and they come ready to go every week, cheering on their team.
06:35 All right, that's it for me here at the New York Tailgate,
06:39 but we'll see you at the next stop on the BMW Tailgate Tour.
06:43 You don't want to miss this. Let's go.
06:45 (upbeat music)
