That’s the new ring we got the uh the Comfort ring for almost champions that’s what we’re putting out there this we and uh almost Champions almost Champions yeah it’s me uh I’m I’m like almost almost Champion like I I didn’t get quite that close won a Super Bowl right yeah yeah

Yeah I did my team lost in a Super Bowl you’re in a commercial with lost too so but with Bruce Smith and uh Tio and then Scarlett Johansson so Scarlett Johansson was pretty cool surprise we know Scarlet Joe uh wife of Colin Joe that’s right Tai Schmidt over there had a

Conversation with 15 20 25 35 minutes uh just kind of at a bar a couple weeks ago in New York yeah wonderful lady most person friend of mine yeah had a good time yeah Ty kind of held her hostage the commercial was fun what did you you’re a great actor okay this right

Into this can I I have some questions yes sir Dan we love you yes you need to know that for what you did for like pittsburghers you’re a legend hilarious human I love that city did things your own way so speaking of acting the story is Ace vure a pet detective right you

Were offered an amount of money let’s say 15 bucks we don’t have to give us the actual amount of money but let’s say it’s 15 bucks or a percentage of what the film makes going forward that’s just how I’ve always seen it and you said to

Yourself give me the money what are we talking about and then it goes on to obviously have the success of it is that accurate and did you know that you were going to be so good at acting in that movie you almost stole the show in that

Thing well I actually made Jim Carrey A star cuz it wasn’t for me no one knew who the hell he was so I take full credit for his career but uh yeah the uh we were going to do the movie at first I didn’t I didn’t think I was going to do

It because I read the script and then I got to meet Jim Carrey and I’m like okay yeah this could be a lot of fun and it’s either going to do really well or it’s going to be nowhere and uh so they offer me a percentage of the gross and knowing

Me I didn’t take it I took the short end cash but that’s okay yeah it is absolutely okay I mean that movie made a lot of money it did I could even over 100 million so you found me people have told you done pretty people have said like

Hey just a little heads up this could have been what it is and you know that was about the Glorious times of the Miami Dolphins being on top of the world a dolphin is obviously kicking field goals everything dolphins are all the way back right now it feels like your

Uncle Dan in that building does it feel like it they’re they’re all the way back you know what I I I feel I feel like the we on the road to uh doing something special down the line I mean I felt really good about us you know this year

And as far as going into the season and then as the season went on and then not making excuses but we got kind of devastated with injuries and and uh really took its toll on us at the end of the year now still that’s not an excuse

Cuz everybody got to play you know you got to play everybody has hurt you know positions of are players and and uh I think we’re close it was awesome watching The Hard Knocks with you in there in the building with your relationship with Tua another pittsburger there tone digs say yeah I

Have to ask cuz it’s a regret uh of mine going going going back and uh looking at it um you ever uh call the Steelers and say hey you guys really messed up uh that I wasn’t a Pittsburgh stealer no I haven’t called him but but

I have I have I’ve called him many times to tell him that I thought about yeah I thought about it many times and you know during my career and then you know I think it at the time though was probably the best thing to happen to me because

You know I played four years in high school right there in Oakland Central Catholic then you know played at pit right there in Oakland and uh to stay to leave I think made me mature a lot quicker and be ready to play a lot quicker than maybe if I would have

Stayed in Pittsburgh but it would have been fun it would have been a lot of fun you graduated with my dad and his uh brother Tim McAfee and Owen McAfee found the yearbook you looked awesome senior year of high school I think we actually

Have the I think we have the photo oh do you have it right here right look at your fro dude look at your fro look at oh yeah look at that baby my dad’s got a model face right below you Robert Matias there the amount of Italians that were

On this page too but called him red bird Rober yeah cuz his his hair was completely red you tell so can you just so you just dominated High School football I assume and then at pit same exact thing well we were pretty good in high school but now they’re over the

Last you know two decades they’ve been really good like they win state championships and and uh played a really high level we we made it to the playoffs uh pretty much all three years I was there as the as the quarterback and uh didn’t win past the first round so

That’s wild but we were good we were good yeah I’d say Daniel Court he’s a fro too I mean fro uh Ty who’s a member of the Vegas golden knights has the last question for you here yeah Dan a lot of people talk about with the way the NFL

Is now you know if if you were to play in this era you would throw for 7,000 8,000 yards every single year because you were throwing for 5,000 yards when no one else was even coming close how accurate do you think that is and do you

Ever think about that like oh man if I would have got drafted in 2000 let’s say that I I would probably at this point have passed for over like 500,000 yard so yeah um yeah you do think about it you know the rules have changed and all

That but the uh the one thing I would say is we were kind of a little bit ahead of our time going for the 5,000 yards having duper and Clayton and D white Stevenson as you know our Center and and uh we had some really good

Players and do I now think we could throw for 6,000 yards you know I don’t have to prove it you know you don’t have to prove switch with you throw in this era I want to hit in your era that would that would be a good trade well anyway

The the uh you know I think if you don’t have to prove it you can say it so yeah 6,000 seven seven 7,000 what are we even talking about 6,500 what do you think huh your accuracy everybody talks about your quick release what do you think it

Is when you look back at your game why you think it’s uh something that I learned from a kid you know just kind of getting the ball up and out my dad always talked about that and having good footwork I always jumped rope and and uh

And then the other thing is just those shoes you had decisions those cleat did you have those big I hate it because of my achilles big my yeah yeah my my right my right ankle with the Achilles it needed something inside so they put like

A lift a spring in there to kind of get me on my toe everybody talks about the quick release the quick release the quick release it’s like well you’re also putting the ball in a keyhole so quick release how are you able to maintain like a powerful arm without the big wind

Up everybody else in uh you know I didn’t lift a whole lot I just lift to maintain you know just to maintain my flexibility and all that and have enough you know enough muscle to be able to take hits you’re a beast speaking of take hit JJ’s got something I got a

Question for you speaking of almost Champions you speak about that it’s something that I I have I people ask me you know how do you feel having retired without having won a championship and we all want to win a championship but I try and explain to people I literally got to

Live out my childhood dream and do something for 12 years that I dreamt about for my whole life and work so hard for how do you handle that if somebody asks you that question throughout your life you know it’s the same I mean I in this time of year too I started thinking

About you know I had one chance to play in it and I was very young I didn’t play in it again and it it gets it it’s something you think about and all I can tell you is I mean I pretty much did everything you could do as a quarterback

Except you know win that Super Bowl and uh I like I said I was young I thought I’d be back many a times you know for sure like we lost that game against the 49ers I think I was 23 years old I’m like well we’ll be back next year we’ll

Be back we got then the next thing you know you know it’s 17 years in the league and you’re retiring and you never got back so hard it’s hard it’s hard and then especially now when you you know you’re around the atmosphere and you see uh the quarterbacks that are playing

Like Mahomes and he’s doing terrific he’s unbelievable and I’m kind of pulling for Brock pie cuz he uh he said his dad grew up being a Marino fan so he watched you know 13 so I’m like oh that’s my guy now that’s definitely my guy a great Underdog Story I think he

Would fit in well if he was from Pittsburgh you know Pittsburgh has a long line of great quarterbacks tough quarterbacks resilient quarterbacks and you talk about it like when you’re 23 you get to the Super Bowl you’ll be back the Patriots set like this ridiculous standard that people think is real for

20 years like yeah I can get back to your uh point I was a punter obviously I was riding coattails of that Colts team when I was 22 my rookie year we were undefeated till we chose to lose okay literally chose to lose the last two

Games then we go to the Super Bowl we lose and then two years later we’re completely Duff heated like 0 and 14 seemingly and then we get Andrew Lu we never get back we’re never even close what the Chiefs have been able to do now seems like the most similar to what the

Patriots were able to do with the mental toughness and how hard the road is and how much luck you have to get do you think that continues this week or what do you think happens with the ners okay so in my heart I’d like to see Brock py

Win the Super Bowl but I do think Kansas City with Mahomes just for just looking at him was like this dude’s not going to lose what is that why do we say that but he has it in his competitiveness it’s inside him he’s grown up like that he’s

Already done it that’s a big thing too when you do something sports like I people ask me about a two-minute drill well I did it when I was younger I did it so you prove you proved in your own mind you could do it makes it that much

Easier the next time so he’s already won two he’s been in three this is his fourth one right I mean so he’s going to be very comfortable in that situation we got a massive Dolphins fan in the back okay Gumpy he he went 600 to midnight

When you showed up dumpy hey gumpy D you got a question for Old Dan oal yeah Dan you’re the reason I’m a he’s four down four down there with the beard you’re an absolute Legend Dan uh I’d love to see the dolphins get over the hump what do

You think it’s going to take to make a run in the playoffs we made it backtack years playoffs in a long time just want your thoughts on that yeah you know I I I was talking about this earlier I think they got to continue to grow as a team

And learn from all the things this past year that happened uh felt really good going in towards the end of the year and it didn’t work work out for us uh but I think it’s really continuing to grow continue to learn Mike uh McDaniels offense he runs it’s a it’s it’s a

Little more difficult than than you think because of all the motions and all the different tracking of the offensive lineman so another year of that you know under two’s belt under the offense’s belt uh will uh go a long way Hey whenever you do these ad reads for companies yeah do you ever

Flub send it send it in dude M&M’s L the all almost Champions ring and you can see it in Las Vegas at the M&M store go by and see the Eminem ring One of a Kind send it in send it in send it in you’re the man real diamonds ladies ladies and
