00:00you uh during your nfl career rob nikovich were you ever spit on no that's the ultimate insult

00:06right there that's that's disgusting that's fight because you know when you're playing football you

00:11don't have that it's like that sticky spit you know you're sweating and you're running and it's

00:16like that that's bad and that's why you see those reactions anytime you see someone get spit on it's

00:22a it's a fight it's more of a girl thing too i think really oh wow that's really like in the

00:27real world so suspension for jamar chase justified oh yeah when the spit flies of course and then you

00:37have the fight because you do that then you're getting you're always going to have a scuffle

00:40you're spitting i've never been spit on so thank you yeah for not doing that that's one i think

00:47i've had like two fights in my playing career i was never a fighter because you get so tired

00:51it's one of the most tiring things you get it's like wrestling right because you never really get

00:55a quality shot in unless you take the helmet off i've been in two ryan wendell and uh cannon

01:03marcus cannon did you win uh i won both of those yes cannon cannon grabbed you know i would always

01:10grab or uh grow my beard out during the season this was at the end of the year so he got you

01:14right on that beard and he had it in my jersey and i just that's like one of them pain reflexes you

01:20just go yeah on my fight i was like i'm not because i saw fred baxter i think it might have

01:27been my rookie year and i played with fred baxter at the jets in here and he played for new england

01:31punch a guy and broke his hand and and that was done for the year and do that and harcells was like

01:38you you know like what are you doing you more so when i did get into my fight um in minnesota i said

01:45all right all body shots or just open hand if you open hand palm strike a helmet i didn't even want

01:52to do that you're gonna it rattles it rattles the cage so i went straight body shots i hit him with

01:57like four or five body shots and then what about steve smith when you found him uh steve smith we

02:02never got into we never went came there was always something wrong with steve smith he would always

02:05want to fight i remember him catching a ball over the middle and i'd brush the guy and i hit him with

02:11the shoulder and he got up doing the whole like face smack thing and like you know like he played

02:15angry for this yeah yeah he played angry him and i almost came to blows at the patriots thing but

02:20you know since then i think we've kind of you know so window this was in otas we had this non-padded

02:26practice in otas and he was holding me or something and i was frustrated so i pushed him and then we

02:31started pushing each other and then we got in a fight and the rule was if you get in a fight you have

02:36to run a lap yep so me being a linebacker him being a chubby offensive lineman i'd take off on

02:43my lap and i cruise and i can't let this guy beat me or even come close to me so i'm i'm literally

02:48like sprinting this lap and i get back way too fast so bill looks at me he's like just go again

02:54so the second i run the second lap he's still trying to get me right he can't he can't catch me

02:59right get back for the second lap bill looks at me blows the whistle two minute getting no huddle

03:04that's it like oh that's the worst that is the absolute worst and generally the guy a little

03:09insight to this the guy who starts the fight generally is getting whooped during the play

03:16that's why they get mad and frustrated and they want to fight because they're you know they're

03:21getting their butt whipped at their time which it's kind of weird like you're actually getting

03:25your butt whipped between the whistles now when it's over you want to get mad and you want to fight

03:30but inner team fighting to me is always shocking because then you have to go to a locker room and

03:35happens all the time i mean there's been some crazy fights in the locker room yeah in the locker room

03:40i've seen guys get knocked out like ko'd in a fight really oh yeah college sleep sleepy time

03:49in the locker room are they in the locker room uh no naked

03:52that's the first time were they in the shower were they lathered up what was going on

04:00your head you're like how were they were they were they nude i mean everyone was thinking it

04:05how was before you go how was gronk day oh great great day uh you know that's just a

04:13reflection of gronk um you know one of his close friends unfortunately passes away and one of her

04:18last wishes wishes was for him to retire a patriot so instead of him waiting to get into the pats hall

04:24of fame which is probably coming very soon he decides uh to do that right now which that's just

04:30a reflection of gronk he's the best the one guy i can say from the start the first time i ever met

04:35the guy to now he is the same very humble great dude gives back to the community he did call you out

04:43though yeah he loves to but you know it's because he's average because he's just an average said that

04:47that was the easiest blocking in his life was blocking yeah i can't wait to do this fundraiser
