00:00 I saw you going barefoot this week.
00:02 Thank you, thank you very much.
00:04 What was that?
00:06 One asked you to stop going barefoot this week at Kristen Works.
00:09 Was that something that Kristen got to...
00:11 No, it wasn't planned.
00:13 Big guys just like to have their feet out.
00:15 Shoes usually don't fit great.
00:17 I love my sandals.
00:19 And I like being able to walk barefoot on grass.
00:24 There's something about grass, I think, to a football player
00:29 that is almost like...
00:33 Oh my gosh, what's the word I'm looking for?
00:36 It's like...
00:38 A garden?
00:40 I'm kind of looking for the word "garden."
00:42 It's like a... It's our sanctuary, right?
00:44 And I think, even in the dizzy world that I soar in,
00:50 they have a part where it imbues with the smell of grass.
00:54 And every time I smell grass and feel grass,
00:56 I think of football and spend that way my entire life.
00:59 From the moment I did a nutcracker drill,
01:01 and lying on the grass,
01:03 you develop a really, really close relationship with it.
01:06 Andro being barefoot up there.
01:08 I'm not sure if you have a relationship with him,
01:11 but Ryan Jensen recently retired.
01:15 Yeah, thoughts on him?
01:17 In his tenure in the NFL,
01:19 he was one of the best centers in the league.
01:21 Not only was he imposing physically,
01:24 but he was an imposing personality.
01:26 He was a very tough, physical guy.
01:29 He was a guy that set the tone for whatever team he was.
01:33 Baltimore, Tampa Bay.
01:35 He had an incredible career.
01:37 Unfortunately, he had some injuries,
01:39 but he was one of my favorite players to watch
01:41 because he was going to bring it day in, day out.
01:43 Every game, you love watching Ryan Jensen play.
01:47 He can look back on that with a lot of pride.
01:52 I speak for a lot of guys in the NFL
01:55 when they say that Ryan played the game
01:57 the way you would want to set a game
01:59 for any offensive lineman to play.
02:01 You saw Baker Maitland twice this season.
02:04 What can you say about the year that Baker had in Tampa Bay?
02:07 I've always had tremendous respect for Baker.
02:10 He's a fighter.
02:12 He's a guy that wears his heart on his sleeve.
02:15 He's a guy that motivates people.
02:17 You can tell that just by any team he's been on.
02:19 You can tell guys rally around him
02:21 and enjoy playing with him.
02:23 I think that he's a guy that--
02:27 We all have ups and downs in our career,
02:29 are faced with adversity,
02:31 and that's how you handle that and how you keep pushing forward.
02:33 He's clearly a fighter,
02:35 and he's showing the world what he can do.
02:37 I absolutely loved watching.
02:39 Unfortunately, we had to be on the tail end of it,
02:42 the end of the year,
02:44 but I definitely loved watching Baker play this year.
