00:00Why don't you tell us who you are and what's going on today?
00:02Yeah, I'm John Tuggle and I play football.
00:07The final pick of the final round, the New York Giants select John Tuggle.
00:11This year's Mr. Irrelevant.
00:15Hey, little man. You sure you're in the wrong place?
00:18I'm John. I'm your roommate.
00:20I thought you were a high school intern or something.
00:22You were an all-born 6'5 and 300 pounds.
00:24I didn't come out that way. That would've killed my mama.
00:34You okay?
00:35I ran about 10 miles to get here.
00:37You really ran here?
00:38Yep. I had to have time to come up with an opening line.
00:40Something like, uh, I'd regret it the rest of my life if I didn't do everything I could to know
00:44who you are.
00:46That's horrible.
00:47It's pretty good, though.
00:55That's Parcells over there.
00:56I'm gonna go say hi quick.
00:57Sorry to interrupt everybody. I'm Mr. Irrelevant.
01:00Think you have a shot?
01:01Hey, you don't talk to him. He doesn't get to talk.
01:03Get your ass on the field.
01:06He's a nice guy.
01:13LT, knock this asshole back to California.
01:16Hey!
01:21One more time, Coach.
01:22What'd I tell you?
01:23Tough of the train, Smoke.
01:26Hey!
01:29One in three of you
01:30are not gonna be a New York Giant.
01:32What are you worried about?
01:33You're not getting cut.
01:34I'm not worried about me.
01:47I've felt love.
01:49I've tasted victory.
01:53And I've been brought to my knees.
01:55So, we found something.
01:57And it needs treatment quickly.
01:59Hey, it's gonna be fine.
02:00Well, the seeds have no land.
02:04If I'm not the guy who keeps on fighting,
02:07let them know who I am.
02:12I arranged for you to be presented with the
02:15John Puggle fiancé award.
02:23If he can keep running,
02:24we can keep running.
02:29We love you, son.
02:32You're gonna put your life on hold for me.
02:37This is exactly where I want to be, John.
02:47I have never learned as much from a player
02:49as I learned from you.
