Pork rinds and what they do, they’ve got collaborate with Mike Ditka in his gridiron grapes, trying to assist the pioneers of the game that played before me and many others who were they didn’t make the money that make today and assisting them in some of the medical treatments that they require. That’s required. And Lana still I still live here in Atlanta. I still live here in Atlanta.

Nestor Aparicio  04:01

This is where it all ended for me. I last saw you here and you coach here you. You’ve been a member of the community here for a long time.

for you with the Euler background and I’m such an oiler fan back in the day and love you blue. And I see John McClane. You know from time to time there were friends. And I saw Oliver luck earlier. So I think those were that I guess 40 years later, right? You look back and say Man, that was

04:34

that was that was a special that was a special time, especially in my life and maybe my whole life or Thank you. It was fun time. I think people enjoy football a lot more. You know, we didn’t have the things they had today. But we had guys who played and more importantly, they weren’t a community. They were in the game though. They didn’t try and buy a house to get away from the community. They didn’t you know, disassociate themselves, but they were involved with it and I think that’s what makes it men. A the game meant a lot fun. A lot of fun

Nestor Aparicio  05:02

being an alum and representing the League doing all the stuff you do. And I’m talking about gridiron greats. I want to give you a chance to talk about the assistants fun because it’s one thing for me to grow up being a kid admiring you guys and I get to see once a year, whatever trouble but year after year, we see people on a struggle and now that Baltimore’s that team for 23 years, yeah, we’re starting to see some of the, you know, physical, psychological issues and all that stuff. And I know that’s what the gridiron greats are all trying to do to help your peers that are struggling later in life

05:29

does especially those that went before us, man, I’m telling you, these guys, sometimes they need assistance, and then not

8

Nestor Aparicio  05:35

that you made a little money. They didn’t make any money. Yes, exactly. They didn’t make

05:39

any money. And sometimes it’s tough for them to make ends meet. So what Rudolph does, I mean, yeah, we would all food company does, they donate all those packages, all those pork rinds that have been bought, up until the day of the Super Bowl, a portion of what they have bought is donated to my dick is great on grace. And it’s been 10s of 1000s of dollars over the years, it’s been a substantial amount of money to help for these guys, you know, sometimes they may need a ride to the doctor, they may need some type of medical assistants and they’re there for them. You know, they may ask a psychological evaluation. So that’s what my mic is doing a great job. And by the way, in doing that, matter of fact, they get together with the people at Rudolph foods to go over with CTE and physicals and all these kinds of things to help these guys to improve their lifestyle.
