Kevin Boss joins us now great story at a western Oregon around fight taking the NFL and he is -- yeah. Super Bowl champ won the ring with the Giants a first timer on Kevin did talk to how are you.
door guys gonna be back on the show acute.
Yeah that's it's -- caddie that -- where you calling us from right now.
Are currently in the bay in California.
I where you were you watch the Super Bowl.
Just what you are here actually watched what it was a former Gmail Giants restored -- He he moved -- this channel is the best boat are this year so we drove down. Wants to.
Meet your for your first team in the needs you wanna bring there was a hard don't watch. You -- you some of your former teammates singing Ural former organization winning that game.
You know it was a little bit strange but. You know I was extremely happy for for a lot of those guys is there's. I mean I'm gonna a lot of really close vote in so. To watch and whether -- it -- those guys -- world where in the second or inaugural -- it's supposed to and some transit we are about the first or so. It was whose needs -- watch those guys called an -- as a graduate but. You know it is entirely -- twins again you know it's it's it's -- to be sitting on the couch any -- you know on the play out. I was who were also. You know I wish I would have been playing against them work over Bart directors. -- local --
But now that that being she'd ask you know that you're not playing alongside Eli Manning who now has a second Super Bowl what do you appreciate about him more now that you are up. Not his steamy.
Just you know probably the way he to go you know goes about being really -- Not inroads -- You know give him off his game. You know he's he's he's always just cool calm collected you you know it never really. -- to be distracted and and you do you have -- there -- this year. I mean I haven't seen -- play that well but consistently all year. You know since I've been in the league so I'll touch softer and you put it the terms of the tremendous shooter weren't very have a four.
A lot of similarities between. This Giants -- team in the in the one you were on in that. You know it it wasn't considered of a favoring you guys he didn't go win it says is is it is the home team yet to go on the road in the wild -- now back to -- just seemed to be a momentum built to when you think back to your Super Bowl run. Was was there a time when you just had a sense that this was this was special that you guys had that momentum in and -- you were gonna pull this thing off.
You know it looked back. -- years. I think a lot of guys kind of circle that that's the New England Patriots game that we played at home. The last game of the year. That they were trying to go for the perfect -- and you know we -- clinched. You know a lot of people are. You know tone Coughlin that he should rest his guys and and all -- In conference -- straight up don't know what our rest and you know I don't know other to play that way you know we -- know how to put the Landon. You know -- was in the game. -- it was 38 to 35 and you know really really play them tough in. I think I was kind of the turning point where we were we had a little momentum. Don't into the playoffs and you know we would ever I'd go onto the 2000. And we're we're able to -- popular.
I guess here is Kevin Boss he played his college football western Oregon in an August signed a four year deal with the Oakland Raiders that. Did you want to stay with the Giants.
You know at the time. Going into free agency. It's pretty sure I was gonna fear of them and I didn't wanna stay with how much time. You know that's just kind of the way. You know I thought my career was gonna -- you know -- kind of sport good years there -- bigger -- you know among -- has an -- And finished a career here. Yeah that's part of the business doesn't things don't always work out the way you envision them. And -- Oakland came calling and had the chance to. You know the pleasure Blaylock is young car talented team and come back on the West Coast something that. You know I've always wanted to do come play on the West Coast and you know -- jumped on the opportunity and you know register.
Who did you have other options.
Heroes such a small -- sort of free agency the and it went so fast and very -- and downed between Oakland and new York and Oakland turned out to be my best option.
I'll need this one. There or -- or group could -- victories this.
That's got to be weird having your whole life you're you're used to playing with one team and EU where the junior high the go to high school and college and get the NFL and if it's probably weird when you realize that this is kind of the nature of the NFL and whoever wants to be with their teammates a mean ultimately it's your job when you have to take -- your family I'm sure that's kind of a surreal experience for him.
Is there really is in this this is kind of one of those things where it becomes a business and you know like -- gonna play tomorrow or was there there is -- You know the way wanting to go originally. You know it would -- shame those the business side and and had to do Rose bush was like he's gonna do it does hurt me much -- my future.
I was have to imagine that and I never got to this in my area but the in my practice squad days in the NFL. -- thought it had to be such a great feeling is you know when you're young -- on your fight to make it teams like every day. The pressure's on and it's just this this cloud over you have in my got -- making it and I'm I'm fighting to provide my family and when you sided deal like he did in Oakland. It is that the first time you crew that maybe you take a breath and say that. It's it's like every day I'm fighting for my life that there is some security here in and meet you can find the exhale.
You know briefly you know to. Different orders saying -- you know with eccentric money part you know that. Do you really the only part where you can cut it. -- feel like Dario you know respect of that part. You know at the same time. These are almost tribunal -- the promoted too much money you you become acceptable against so. You know how long the contract you know so there. Our form you know they've they've put some of the money and more animosity towards the back and then. You know because first couple years you know all the earlier this -- aren't out of print money for the young guys spoke. Yeah you do get a -- little bit you know rather. The beginning where you have as much as two years guarantee you just have to go to my -- and you know becomes the yeah it's been an assault not along also. But and it's very very -- blessed have been held under contract escalators and very happy to be the West Coast and to do is the quickest in.
So another -- coach about -- we have the Raiders tight end Kevin Boss here I tell us about Dennis Allen read about him that early on.
You know and had the opportunity. To go and the media last week and just -- Talk briefly and welcome them here and you -- I like -- Really look forward. To playing for Hammond. You know looking forward -- To a new season and have an opportunity. You know -- a full season -- you know this was Carson Palmer and I'm excited about the what we what was under pressure.
Have you ever had a scenario and the ball where he was the defense wanted to let you score like in the --
Don't know I'd never have. I don't regulars here before either of those those kind of interesting.
rethink it when he saw that.
You know permission I was thinking mark probably should've. They're going to be completely in sort of very sort of almost all of and there are. You know who worked out. -- understand if you would have -- in the -- We're able for a few more second golfers we're committed low left. You know nobody there at the end.
Now we get around -- I -- is your brother not MLS. Goaltender is that right.
Yeah you know it was just just recently retired just a couple of months ago but you know play it finishes -- Seattle seraguso.
He's on our -- You're you know said he did he dominate you in in I can imagine him down inning you too much in in sports -- as a grown up.
Yeah when -- younger kind of before or hit my growth spurt he beat up on me pretty good there for quite a few years so how. But I got to backwards. -- Under a score and.
He reached a point and there's just like one BD you tell them that it did this this it's over now that the picking on stops.
pretty good group and actually there were times. Nice blue restore. He dropped. Out. Ardent. Long story you know him. You don't respect on Paper you know we did you -- and best friend and all the talk about current Carrasco. One of those things where --
