NFL, but those celebrations, eh, they sure lived. There are new concerns that the league could be cracking down on them. A USA Today reporter says that right after he talked to Raiders tight end Brock Bowers about his Trump touchdown dance, the team abruptly ended his post game availability. Joining us now, Brett Favre, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback, Brett. Fantastic to see you. I don't know how you follow Hulk Hogan, man, but you're going to have to figure it out, Brett. I can't believe the NFL players are doing the little dance. What's going on there? Uh, yeah, I think people have had enough and, uh, they're, you know, they're coming out of the woodworks right and left. And when I woke up election day and saw the, the landslide victory, it really put put where I think everyone's perspective is on this country, uh, right to the forefront. I mean, we, we were in desperate need of president Trump to take back over and get this country back where it needs to be. I mean, we were, we were definitely going in the wrong direction. And I think our youth, um, and I say youth NFL players, college players, high school players, um, see it. You know, when I was 22, 25, 30 years old, I never thought about politics. It was never an issue. There was never a, a focus on politics like it was this year. And I think people just saw it for what it was that we were in desperate need of help. And that, that helped us president Trump. Brad, don't you also think that some of this is almost an athlete's competitive spirit? Like when you're counted out, you're injured. No one thinks you can come back again and you, and you throw the perfect pass or you go for the perfect pattern and you catch the perfect ball. And again, no one thought you could do it, but you do it that, that is someone who played some college sports. Just to me, what I see that connection between the athlete and him, maybe that's overblown. Well, Laura, you're, you're right. Um, I don't think a lot of people gave president Trump a chance of winning. Um, I know I did. I was very hopeful that he would, that he would win, uh, like, like most of us, which you just didn't really know based on what's happened in the past. You really didn't know. And so again, when I woke up that morning and I'm sure a lot of people felt the same way, it was like, you have got to be kidding. Um, not only did he win, he just dominated and I, I just, I just think that, uh, we, you know, as I said, we were in desperate need of, do you think Brett, sorry to interrupt, but do you think the NFL should be cracking down on players doing the little Trump dance in the end zone? Because some believe they are. Well, I think back to back in the, just over the years, I mean, the icky shuffle. I don't know if you remember that, uh, if he would split the Cincinnati Bengals had the shuffle and I could go on and on. I don't remember anyone being fined or threatened for doing that or, or some of the other, the sack dance. So, uh, you name it. I don't remember that being an issue other than, Oh, look, that's sticky shuffle. That's pretty cool. Uh, so I, I find it hard to believe that the NFL would crack down, uh, on, on this Trump dance. I really do. Well, I would hope it looks like people are just having some fun and I think why not have a little fun, you know, like there's been all there's, you can take a knee, Colin Kaepernick took the knee and everyone had to support that or a lot of people did. And that was all celebrated, but you know, doing a little dance, somehow you cancel his post game availability, how threatening to us and that little dance, uh, some may say, but I think like with John Jones, that was a very just powerful moment with he and president Trump, the baddest man, arguably on the planet who came over and showed the respect, uh, to president Trump. I think is sense a lot about where we are in this country right now. Yeah. A fighter to a fighter Brett Farve will come back soon. Great to have you on.
