I'm good, bro.

Hey, man, welcome to New York.

Hey, I want to say this here, son.

I want to ask you this, man.

What Michael Vick are we gonna be getting?

You know, are we gonna get the old Michael Vick?

Because that's what we're looking for, you know.

I'm don't don't come down here to New York with that punk football.

I'm I'm what I mean is like this here.

You drop back, you look for two seconds, and you get your upfield.

We're talking about moving chains, baby.

We're talking about moving change.

That's a Michael Vick we looking for.

What kind of Michael Vick can we expect?

Yeah, well, I I I expect uh to give it everything I got.

I played the game with a lot of heart.

Uh I believe in myself and my teammates and it was on the primary goal, and that's what in the Super Bowl.

I mean, I'm just saying we we we looking for the, you know, the Michael Vick that you should, you know, hurdling over people, getting up field, because that that Michael Vick right there, that Michael Vick move, change.

That's what I'm talking about.

Mike, I'm sorry I'm sorry about that.

Yeah, we got let's keep it moving.

Come on, guys.

This is Paul Jefferson, Crazy Zone Sports Radio.

Who's this?

Hey, my man.

Hey, first of all, welcome to New York City, man.

Uh, people, I'm in bed style, a whole lot of folks talking about you and coming through or whatever.

Hey, man, we're glad to have you in New York.

But listen, I got something to ask you on a different tip.

Hey, when you was on lockdown, man, my cousin Big Kevin was in there.

He said he was on D block with you.

Said you were supposed to send him uh a jersey signed or whatever.

Did you say that to us?

Yeah, you supposed to send an autograph jersey to Big Kevin on on the D block.

Really?

Hey, can we get on to the next caller?

Hey, Mike, I I I want to apologize again, man.

Okay, hey, this is embarrassing.

We're talking sports.

This is sports radio, okay?

We got a future hall of fame here.

So if you call in, let's talk football, people.

Let's go to uh line seven, Rahim.

Hello, my brothers.

My brother Mike, how are you doing, my brother?

How you doing, my head?

Peace be on to you, my brother.

Here's what I would like to ask you, my brother.

Is it true that right now Geno Smith is the starting quarterback of the New York Jets?

Am I right, my brother?

Yeah, that's right.

Okay, my brother.

So is your accomplishment is to come into New York City and be the starting quarterback, my brother?

Yeah, that that's that's the primary focus.

Obviously, you when you come into a situation where uh you gotta compete with a guy, you know, i i it it ultimately brings out the best in you and uh you want to stay focused, you want to be the best that you can be on a day in uh weekend to week out basis, day in and day out.

And uh, you know, that's that's the primary focus.

There are no secondary goals and them.

That's what that's what my mindset is.

But but but hear me out, my brother.

Don't be a pawn in the man's chess game.

What?

That's all I want you to understand, my brother, because is this not a prime example of black on black quarterback crime?

Is that not what this is?

Is the man not putting one black man up against another black man as quarterbacks to define who he really is?

Is that not what's going on, my brother?

You have to see the big picture to know it all.

Bruh, you lost me with that, bro.

Right, right.

I mean, you this is nothing but the man putting our black man up against another black man and watching them tear each other down.

Is that not what's going on, my brother?

Do you not see the picture, my black brother?

Huh?

Do you not see what is going on between you and Geno Smith?

They are putting you up against one another.

That's what they do.

Do you not see it?

Yeah, yeah, I mean, I I see it.

I see it, but

I don't really understand all that.

Like, we talk about football, it's a radio show.

This is football, but here they are putting you in an arena and watching you tear one another down.

This is nothing but game of thrones in an arena of the football.

Don't you see?

You crazy, man.

You're crazy.

I'm gonna hang this phone.

I'm gonna get off this phone.

Hey Mike, I I I wanna apologize again, man.

I have right here on the line a future Hall of Famer, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

Come on, man.

Let's talk football, okay?

We got Manning out of the Bronx.

Manny.

Hey Mike.

What's up, man?

What's going on, brother?

Hey, welcome to New York City, man.

Glad you could be here.

Thank you, man.

Let me stop you for a minute, man.

Can you ask me a question that's strictly about football and not go going off the deep end like every other caller that came onto the show, man?

We're trying to have a nice quarter show here.

And you know, just kinda keep everything perspective.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Uh I mean, I'm I'm excited about you playing football, brother.

So I don't know what everybody else is going off on the tangent on.

I know you're gonna give New York what we're looking for.

I know you're gonna come out and do your thing, man.

I love your work, uh your work ethics, man.

I like what you do when you're out there on that field.

Here's a question I got a little sidebar for you though.

Fluffy and I can't make the game, okay?

Fluffy and I can't make the game.

But here's what I wanted to ask you, man.

Hold on, who is Fluffy?

I'm sorry, Fluffy.

Fluffy is is is uh um my poodle, my dog.

Fluffy is my is my poodle.

And I wanted to ask you this, man.

Fluffy is

do you know uh a a poodle ring that I can put Fluffy in and Fluffy might, you know, because Fluffy likes to fight, and I want to know if it's a ring out there I could get Fluffy involved in.

You gotta be kidding me.

I I I can I no comment.

But what about Fluffy though?

Hey, listen, man.

I think you need to educate yourself on animal welfare.

I I I

take the background on things that I have done uh with the Humane Society.

I I don't I'm condoning that.

And I think you should uh just more more so look into uh being an animal lover as as opposed to thinking negative thoughts about it, man.

It's uh it's a lot of good.

That you can do with that.

And really, you sound you sound extremely crazy, bro.

I think uh you probably should just get off the phone and anybody else uh with some some questions uh in that regard.

Uh you shouldn't even call up right now.

This is this is uh part of positive motivation in me being here in New York.

That's what I'm here to call it.

You know what?

You know what?

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

You know what I I I can't I can't allow this.

Mike, uh first of all, I apologize.

I can't allow these callers to continue to call in here with these idiotic statements, these zidigotic questions, uh, and I'm not going to allow it.

I I want to I want to first apologize to you.

Hey, Paul, hey Paul, let's let's let's pause for a minute and just backtrack for a second.

And let me be the first to say I want I want to thank you for allowing me to be on your show.

Um very appreciative, you know, and I was I was honored to get on your show today.

But let me just speak, let me just speak for a second from my perspective.

And no more phone calls.

I I I don't really boast on myself, but uh I do a great job in you know serving in the community.

I did a great job serving, you know, for my people, you know, the HSUS.

I've been doing all the right things since I came home from prison, man.

Obviously, you know, I feel like I got a lot to bring to New York, a lot of energy, still got some left in the tank.

And, you know, through all my diligent efforts, I've been trying to be the be the best person that I can be.

And and change for the better and help masses of people grow.

So look, man, that's some that's my piece.

Everybody out there who listening, man, take that away from this show.

Because obviously we got some crazy outway questions, and I tried to keep my composure and not get our rate, but I wanted to snap on a couple of those dudes, but I just kept my composure.

You know what I'm saying?

No, no, no.
