Of the guys that's in the Hall of Fame At the receiver position And the guys that have the potential To be in this building that's all I ask I don't say hey Just do that the next time you go in That room Think about Sterling Sharp's number for Seven years that's all I ask [Music] [Applause] Ed Managing expectations So for me here's how I see this Uh we had Curt chilling here two months Ago okay you're seeing him give this Speech if you watch the whole speech When he gives and you're seeing Sterling Is just like you know the the Terrell Davis one time was crying and the Broncos were playing like 13 years ago And his tears were dropping do you Remember the running back of course and You're like I've never seen anybody cry Like this before during the Super Bowl It's an emotional moment somebody in Freaking Baseball Hall of Fame needs to Give a speech like this and say there's There's a bunch of guys now you hear the Criticism saying you know the Major League Baseball doesn't allow Republicans in the Hall of Fame because It's become political and you can't make Comments like that or this and this and
That you're you went to a trump rally How dare you go to Trump rally and You're doing this and you're doing that Court chilling you've been saying all This stuff there's a list of names that You can talk about the bagwells the Reigns The Hoffman the Shilling to you The bonds the Martinez musina Trammell Smith McGriff Kent Walker Maguire Sheffield Wagner salsa there's a lot of Names right these are guys that crush it I wasn't I was in the army 1998. And Major League Baseball had just come off The uh uh either strike I think they had Whatever the year was 96 or 95 97 I Don't know what the year was nobody was Watching baseball nobody was watching Baseball nobody was interested in the Product it was boring it was dying Stadiums were empty then all of a sudden These two guys come up And one's name is Mark McGuire the other Guy's name is Sammy Sosa and every night When we would come back to the barracks Dude we would stay up till God knows Once we just wanted to see the you know We just want to it's like it was a Freaking you know rock and roll they Revived baseball Oh's Sammy and Mark McGuire billions of dollars MLB you owe Those two guys revived the flipping game So here's where I take it I watch football and I look at some of
These guys what they look like you know I'm a guy that's uh tried primobolin I Did uh the trt for like five or six Weeks and uh clembuterol some of the Stuff that you know because I wanted to Be bodybuilder and you're kind of like I gotta get into Center you you Really find out what the bodybuilders You're like oh I can't do all that Stuff but trt you know you got these HGH Some of the stuff that Hollywood's doing It football they don't really get tested As much as some of the other leagues These guys playing football by the way If you're not on something and you're Getting hit by 350 I'm worried about Your neck I'm worried about your body I'm worried about what you're doing so To me it's not even about the Conversation about that there are guys That gave their lives to this game that Entertained the hell out of fans like Myself and increased the product of MLB That belong there but I feel like some Of the existing guys are playing Politics and some of them need to grab Their you know what and make a speech And say hey man what are we gonna do Make an exception for these guys to get In I played against these guys so I know You can't say anything about it yourself Because you've already gave your message And I'm not looking for you to have a Reaction to it all I'm saying is this is
My opinion these are my thoughts uh I Think uh the game if we were to look at Baseball in a 20-year period and we said Okay during that 20-year period no Problem take moguire out takes us out Take bonds out take Clemens out take These guys out what the hell is baseball Take those products out who the hell is Coming to watch the game who's trying to See the the temperament the mindset the Travel the sacrifice the nine months out Of there you're on the road you're Having kids you're going through all This stuff take all that stuff out Nobody's coming to watch the Commissioner play they're coming to Watch you play right Michael made a Comment about this in the last dance When they were talking about you know They don't come to watch the GM play They don't come to watch the owner play They come to watch us play right he gave A representation for the guys and Michael wasn't the guy that made a lot Of money in the NBA when as in his Contract yes last year he made 33 Million or whatever the number is but he Was never the highest paid guy he set The tone for everybody else afterwards Absolutely but it was also getting some Perspective to say these writers are Voting you in who the hell are you to Vote a player in and you ain't played What what opinion so to me it's a little
Bit uh confusing I watched I watch what They say the speeches this guy's not and He doesn't deserve this he doesn't Deserve that uh Hey writers you don't Have a job without these players if These guys weren't playing putting their Bodies through what they're putting Through you don't have anybody to talk About you have a job because they play So anyways that's my uh that's my rant I Had your ring with it I appreciate your Passion I can hear it in your voice Excuse me uh you know like Greg Maddox Told me he was voting for me mad dog no Knows me as a person and knows the Person and I said I appreciate your vote Doggie but again it's not going to Change me as a person uh either way uh I Heard what I heard from you Entertainment I know we're entertainers But this was still my uh like like you Alluded to earlier my first couple years Has changed the generational difference For my family Um you know pay off my mom's bills you Know get her a car and then it was about Winning championships Um the guys that know me you know I hear Some asinine comments from guys that Have no clue like I said if you could Read past the third grade you would you Would understand what what went down and How it went down I'm never going to play The victim but I am going to stop people
From using my name and and spreading Lies about me when they say it I do that When people on one of my teammates And said hold up you you got him on a Bad day see like being you know signing Autographs I signed 50 the 50 First and I'm you know I'm an ass and so you can't Please everybody all the time so true I'm not going to come off phony because I'm trying to get you to like me and uh You know this is who I am this is how I Was brought up and I let the people uh You know like I said I I did some inner City work in Baltimore this this Baltimore Congressman made a couple uh He made him after I was in his office Took 25 photos with his staff and Interns signed all these autographs and He and he he was one that brought up you Silver silver spoon athlete I go hold up A second you know I gave him the quick Rundown Barry Stern about my background I said you're reading a piece of paper You're coming out here in front of the World and you're getting stats on me Five minutes from an intern And that's what you go off of you didn't You didn't take the time to learn about Me who I am as a person where I came From or what what this might be or you Got some other dude spreading lies just Because he's trying to get my pocket so That's what I should have done when I Went I should have just got my wallet
And laid it on the table I mean that's What that's all it was about so Um I I have some great great friends Like Reggie Jackson that are in the hall And they say stuff all the time uh again I don't think it makes you uh for me Personally I don't think it makes you Hit a ball further I don't think it Makes you throw strikes being a control Pitcher I think it breaks you down and Hurts you a lot of these guys I think it Broke them down a little bit but uh you Know like I said I I'm not going to get Bitter over we just quit worrying about It to come up day after day after day And like you said I remember calling Jim Rice my my former Red Sox and Jimmy got In on his 10th try So you either have the numbers to get in Or you don't they made him wait 10 years Because he pissed off a lot of reporters I caught him and said hey Jim Ed I said Congratulations and everything I said But let me ask them how did you get Better in 10 years did you go play semi Profile and hit another 100 homers I Didn't I didn't see you to read about it But so you know so you're either you're Either in uh the first one or you're not So and I appreciate your perspective Because you're the player but I'll give You the perspective from the players I'm Sorry the fans perspective the fans Perspective I'm a voter you know we're
