3
00:00:08,551 --> 00:00:11,804
[man 1] Year five, year six,
they look at you differently. Right?

4
00:00:11,887 --> 00:00:13,806
You really only have one opportunity

5
00:00:13,889 --> 00:00:15,891
to get to the bag
when you're a running back.

6
00:00:15,975 --> 00:00:20,271
They don't wanna go out there
and pay Saquon 15, 20 million dollars.

7
00:00:20,354 --> 00:00:21,814
I don't think it's gonna get done.

8
00:00:21,897 --> 00:00:27,611
And I do know one team
that's ready to trade for Saquon Barkley,

9
00:00:27,695 --> 00:00:30,197
but Mr. Mara doesn't want to give him up.

10
00:00:30,281 --> 00:00:31,907
That's not good business.

11
00:00:31,991 --> 00:00:34,118
If you don't wanna pay him,
let somebody else pay him.

12
00:00:34,201 --> 00:00:36,162
When OBJ left, they didn't miss a beat

13
00:00:36,245 --> 00:00:38,622
because Saquon was that guy
in the locker room.

14
00:00:38,706 --> 00:00:41,375
And then also,
he doesn't get into any trouble,

15
00:00:41,459 --> 00:00:43,627
he shows up to all the charity events,

16
00:00:43,711 --> 00:00:45,004
he's a great Samaritan.

17
00:00:45,087 --> 00:00:47,047
Take care of your people.

18
00:00:47,131 --> 00:00:51,260
I've done nothing but represent
this organization the right way.

19
00:00:51,343 --> 00:00:55,765
Like, it don't gotta be--
it don't gotta be like this.

20
00:00:55,848 --> 00:00:57,224
It could be simple.

21
00:00:57,308 --> 00:00:58,768
I can't go nowhere.

22
00:00:59,894 --> 00:01:02,021
And you know why I can't go nowhere?

23
00:01:03,022 --> 00:01:05,399
Wonder why I can't go-- You know, like...

24
00:01:06,567 --> 00:01:09,487
I can't go nowhere
because I do it the right way.

25
00:01:15,826 --> 00:01:19,914
[sighs] It is July 27th, 2025.

26
00:01:19,997 --> 00:01:23,417
It's been a five-year journey.
A long journey.

27
00:01:23,501 --> 00:01:27,254
I've been using this camera as my diary,
as my therapy.

28
00:01:27,338 --> 00:01:30,841
It's March... 13th.

29
00:01:30,925 --> 00:01:33,009
-August 1st.
-It's March 4th, right now.

30
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:34,303
July 17th.

31
00:01:34,386 --> 00:01:36,597
-[doctor] Little pressure...
-[moans]

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,557
He tore the ACL on the inside...

33
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,436
[pained exhale] That shit hurt.

34
00:01:44,188 --> 00:01:46,106
What does this movie mean to me?

35
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:50,110
You, actually, can see yourself,
like, the growth,

36
00:01:50,194 --> 00:01:53,948
and see the difference
of who I was five years ago,

37
00:01:54,031 --> 00:01:56,200
um, to the person I am now.

38
00:01:56,283 --> 00:01:57,910
I think it's, probably,

39
00:01:57,993 --> 00:02:01,121
one of the coolest things
that I've ever been a part of.

40
00:02:03,874 --> 00:02:06,794
[commentator] That was
a joystick run there.

41
00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:11,882
[Saquon] If God's gonna create someone
to play the running back position,

42
00:02:11,966 --> 00:02:13,384
I actually feel like that's me.

43
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:16,720
Huger than my huge legs
that never stopped getting huger.

44
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:22,726
How can he be that fast
with his thighs the size of torsos?

45
00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:24,853
I mean, what the fuck is that, dude?

46
00:02:24,937 --> 00:02:27,940
This just makes me wanna do some shit
that, like, that's not in my character.

47
00:02:28,023 --> 00:02:30,067
They keep telling me I'm
the best running back in the NFL.

48
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:32,111
So, pay me like I'm
the best running back in the NFL.

49
00:02:32,194 --> 00:02:34,530
I think you should be on the...

50
00:02:35,531 --> 00:02:37,658
-[giggles] ...the Eagles.
-Oh.

51
00:02:37,741 --> 00:02:40,744
Would you allow me permission
to seek for a trade?

52
00:02:42,371 --> 00:02:46,625
[John Mara] No, Saquon, I'm not gonna
do that. That makes no sense.

53
00:02:46,709 --> 00:02:49,837
They say, don't take business personal,
but it is personal.

54
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,590
I'm just ready to shut
everyone the fuck up, to be honest.

55
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:54,466
Everybody wants to be wanted.

56
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:57,386
Whether you're a six-year-old kid...

57
00:02:57,469 --> 00:02:59,054
We're going to the playoffs.

58
00:02:59,138 --> 00:03:00,806
-I wanna come.
-Of course.

59
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:05,728
...or whether you're
a 27-year-old NFL star.

60
00:03:05,811 --> 00:03:07,438
-How does it look?
-It looks good.

61
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:10,399
It looks like you're a girl
and you're getting ready for a wedding.

62
00:03:11,025 --> 00:03:13,402
Ready, gents? Let's do it.

63
00:03:13,485 --> 00:03:16,071
You're a class act on and off the field.
Thanks so much.

64
00:03:16,155 --> 00:03:18,198
[Micah Parsons] The fan base
loves Saquon Barkley.

65
00:03:18,282 --> 00:03:21,535
[man 2] He's someone
who's very conscious of his image.

66
00:03:21,619 --> 00:03:23,412
[man 3] You never hear
anything bad about him.

67
00:03:23,495 --> 00:03:28,542
[Tiki] He's doing his best to allow
his character to appeal to the empathy

68
00:03:28,626 --> 00:03:31,754
of people who don't do business that way.

69
00:03:31,837 --> 00:03:33,839
Is he a superhero or a villain?

70
00:03:33,923 --> 00:03:34,924
A villain.

71
00:03:35,007 --> 00:03:36,425
-He's a villain?
-Yeah.

72
00:03:36,508 --> 00:03:38,510
[Tiki] You're dead to us, Saquon.

73
00:03:38,594 --> 00:03:40,596
I know what I bring to the table.

74
00:03:40,679 --> 00:03:42,139
Saquon always gotta do the right thing,

75
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:43,515
but everyone gets to fuck me over

76
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:45,059
and everyone gets to do
whatever they want to me

77
00:03:45,142 --> 00:03:46,727
and I can never do what I wanna do.

78
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:48,520
Play and win championships.

79
00:03:48,603 --> 00:03:50,064
That's all I wanna do.

80
00:03:50,147 --> 00:03:51,732
Always keep your head up
and keep fighting.

81
00:03:51,815 --> 00:03:52,816
You gotta stay in the fight.

82
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:54,985
No matter how many times
you get knocked down,

83
00:03:55,069 --> 00:03:56,153
stand back up.

84
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:57,821
It's not who you are
when you get knocked down,

85
00:03:57,905 --> 00:03:59,239
it's who you are when you stand back up.

86
00:03:59,323 --> 00:04:00,783
I love having this side of it, like...

87
00:04:00,866 --> 00:04:03,160
I'm expressing myself
because this is like my diary.

88
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:06,538
This is like the moment in time where
I can come out here and be authentic.

89
00:04:06,622 --> 00:04:07,748
Tell people how I really feel.

90
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:09,291
I'm talking real spiel.

91
00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:12,002
To see the journey it took
to get to this point.

92
00:04:12,086 --> 00:04:14,421
Let's go show the world
I'm Saquon Barkley.

93
00:04:20,177 --> 00:04:21,762
[music ends]

94
00:04:24,056 --> 00:04:25,975
[Saquon] It's, like, my sanctuary.

95
00:04:26,058 --> 00:04:28,018
That's the beauty of football to me.

96
00:04:28,102 --> 00:04:32,940
Like, I-- anything
that I'm dealing with outside, like,

97
00:04:33,023 --> 00:04:34,441
anything,

98
00:04:34,525 --> 00:04:36,402
it doesn't even cross your mind.

99
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:38,153
Like, you're just lost in the game.

100
00:04:38,237 --> 00:04:40,656
You're just lost in practice.
You're just lost.

101
00:04:40,739 --> 00:04:42,282
Like, you just let go.

102
00:04:42,366 --> 00:04:45,202
You just flow and be you,
and do something that you love.

103
00:04:45,284 --> 00:04:47,246
Like, it's always been like that for me.

104
00:04:47,329 --> 00:04:49,289
I feel like that's the place
where I always can go to.

105
00:04:49,373 --> 00:04:52,459
So it's like, I know what's going on
in my everyday life,

106
00:04:52,543 --> 00:04:55,004
but, like, when I get on that field, like,

107
00:04:55,087 --> 00:04:57,339
I get to put on a frickin' cape.

108
00:04:57,423 --> 00:04:59,299
Try to be, you know,
try to be a superhero.

109
00:04:59,383 --> 00:05:01,593
Try to be, be me.

110
00:05:01,677 --> 00:05:02,720
Try to be special.

111
00:05:02,803 --> 00:05:05,681
I... I think there's beauty in that.

112
00:05:05,764 --> 00:05:07,349
[fan 1] Saquon.

113
00:05:07,433 --> 00:05:09,852
[fan 2] Saquon! I love you.

114
00:05:09,935 --> 00:05:13,605
[fan 3] Hi. Good luck. [chuckles]

115
00:05:13,689 --> 00:05:14,940
[woman 1] Proud father, you know...

116
00:05:15,024 --> 00:05:16,608
[Tonya] Do you got anything to say
about your son?

117
00:05:16,692 --> 00:05:17,735
Yeah, yeah.

118
00:05:17,818 --> 00:05:20,362
[Alibay] I've known since he was
a little kid, I've known, like...

119
00:05:21,613 --> 00:05:22,948
He was different.

120
00:05:23,032 --> 00:05:24,116
I'm not a sports person.

121
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:25,367
I'll make sure
your clothes is clean,

122
00:05:25,451 --> 00:05:27,327
the house is clean, I cook food for you.

123
00:05:27,411 --> 00:05:29,705
You know what I mean?
I was that type of mother.

124
00:05:29,788 --> 00:05:31,290
I catered to all their other needs.

125
00:05:31,373 --> 00:05:33,292
He came to me and he's like,

126
00:05:33,375 --> 00:05:36,920
"You have to come to the games.

127
00:05:37,004 --> 00:05:39,506
You have to see this kid."

128
00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:42,217
[shouting and cheering]

129
00:05:45,387 --> 00:05:48,640
He scored, like,
29 touchdowns in, like, eight games.

130
00:05:48,724 --> 00:05:50,433
So, just think about it.

131
00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:54,438
[Saquon] I wore #20 and
I got the nickname Little Barry Sanders.

132
00:05:54,521 --> 00:05:57,024
He was skinny, you know,
on the weaker side.

133
00:05:57,107 --> 00:05:58,275
Lacked confidence.

134
00:05:58,358 --> 00:06:01,153
But we all saw that he has strength.

135
00:06:01,236 --> 00:06:02,404
[Saquon] I wasn't committed.

136
00:06:02,488 --> 00:06:05,616
I wasn't lifting the way I should've.
I wasn't training the way I should've.

137
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:08,494
The mindset of me wanting to quit
was just selfish and immature.

138
00:06:08,577 --> 00:06:12,748
I just had a conversation, telling him
that I don't think that's a good idea.

139
00:06:12,831 --> 00:06:15,459
If you start something,
you should want to finish it.

140
00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:17,795
My father said to me, he told me,
once you quit one thing in life,

141
00:06:17,878 --> 00:06:19,755
you're gonna be a quitter
for the rest of your life.

142
00:06:19,838 --> 00:06:22,633
That mindset
that was instilled in me at that age

143
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:26,720
and helping me realize that, you know,
life ain't always gonna be easy.

144
00:06:26,804 --> 00:06:28,889
And when it's not easy,
you can't just give up and quit.

145
00:06:30,516 --> 00:06:33,143
[commentator] And this is 21,
Saquon Barkley.

146
00:06:33,227 --> 00:06:36,855
Has running room.
He's into the second tier to the 20.

147
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:40,234
Barkley to the five. Touchdown!

148
00:06:40,317 --> 00:06:43,278
For me, that was
an important time in my life

149
00:06:43,362 --> 00:06:45,781
because my grades weren't so good.

150
00:06:45,864 --> 00:06:48,033
I wasn't taking school serious.

151
00:06:48,117 --> 00:06:49,952
I had a 1.9 GPA.

152
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:55,916
So, like, when I got an offer,
it was like, oh, crap, all right.

153
00:06:55,999 --> 00:06:58,585
Like, I can do something with this.

154
00:06:59,545 --> 00:07:02,840
I can get to the next level.
I can get a free education out of this.

155
00:07:02,923 --> 00:07:05,551
[commentator] Wow, Saquon Barkley,

156
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:07,928
with the best run of the season.

157
00:07:09,847 --> 00:07:11,765
How did I justify going to Penn State?

158
00:07:11,849 --> 00:07:15,060
I went to the Penn State, uh, Michigan
White Out game.

159
00:07:15,144 --> 00:07:16,812
I had to make a decision.

160
00:07:16,895 --> 00:07:20,691
Looking back on it, it's probably one
of the best decisions of my life.

161
00:07:20,774 --> 00:07:23,485
We do this drill, we call it "Lion's Den."

162
00:07:23,569 --> 00:07:25,279
It's kind of a toughness drill.

163
00:07:27,156 --> 00:07:28,782
He made all three miss

164
00:07:28,866 --> 00:07:32,286
and, like, the entire team just exploded.

165
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:35,414
That's something you don't see.

166
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:46,175
[Saquon] My first time
I realized that, okay,

167
00:07:46,258 --> 00:07:48,260
I, probably, will be in the NFL,

168
00:07:48,343 --> 00:07:50,679
um, was my freshman year,
after playing Ohio state.

169
00:07:50,762 --> 00:07:52,347
Kinda was like my coming out party.

170
00:07:52,431 --> 00:07:54,224
They were the number one team
in the country.

171
00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:56,268
They had Joey Bosa and all these guys.

172
00:07:56,351 --> 00:07:57,936
I felt like I was the best player.

173
00:07:58,020 --> 00:08:00,480
[analyst 1] If you didn't know
Saquon Barkley before tonight,

174
00:08:00,564 --> 00:08:01,607
you'd better get to know him.

175
00:08:01,690 --> 00:08:02,524
You better know him.

176
00:08:02,608 --> 00:08:07,446
The eyes, the vision, and the power
and acceleration on display yet again.

177
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:11,283
[James] He was just doing things
that you don't see very often.

178
00:08:11,366 --> 00:08:16,330
In my 26 years,
I've never seen anyone like him.

179
00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:20,250
[commentator] Barkley hurdles a man
and makes a first down.

180
00:08:20,334 --> 00:08:23,754
What did you say before? Superman?
[chuckles]

181
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:27,216
[Pat Leonard] What Saquon had
as a prospect coming out of college

182
00:08:27,299 --> 00:08:30,302
was it was hard to pinpoint
a weakness in his game.

183
00:08:30,385 --> 00:08:32,596
[commentator] Saquon Barkley in the clear.

184
00:08:33,804 --> 00:08:34,890
Still going.

185
00:08:34,972 --> 00:08:36,808
[Pat Leonard] He had
a home run hitting ability

186
00:08:36,892 --> 00:08:39,061
in one of the top conferences
in the country

187
00:08:39,144 --> 00:08:41,438
that showed up in big moments.

188
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,067
He did look like he could
change a team instantly.

189
00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:46,318
He's a freak.

190
00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:49,446
I mean, there is almost nobody like him.

191
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:52,199
[shouts of encouragement]

192
00:08:54,618 --> 00:08:57,579
Given the durability,
given the shelf life of a running back,

193
00:08:57,663 --> 00:09:00,582
do you take them with the number one,
number two overall pick? I don't know.

194
00:09:00,666 --> 00:09:02,459
-It is not a knock on Saquon at all.
-No.

195
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:04,962
-It is his position. He's perfect.
-Yes.

196
00:09:05,045 --> 00:09:08,173
But I've said this before,
that high, they better be Adrian Peterson.

197
00:09:08,257 --> 00:09:10,008
[Saquon] I'm not nervous.

198
00:09:10,092 --> 00:09:12,511
If a team pass me, can I call them
and be like, listen,

199
00:09:12,594 --> 00:09:16,139
I promise you if you pass on me,
you're gonna feel me for ten years.

200
00:09:16,223 --> 00:09:19,059
-[woman 2] It's the Giants.
-Hello?

201
00:09:19,142 --> 00:09:20,477
Hey, how you doing?

202
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:24,106
I promise you guys
I won't let you guys down.

203
00:09:24,189 --> 00:09:28,068
[announcer] With the second pick
in the 2018 NFL Draft,

204
00:09:29,194 --> 00:09:32,197
the New York Giants select Saquon Barkley.

205
00:09:32,281 --> 00:09:34,741
[cheering and shouting]

206
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:40,706
When you get drafted that high,
you have to be Adrian Peterson level,

207
00:09:40,789 --> 00:09:42,790
or Barry Sanders level.

208
00:09:42,874 --> 00:09:45,210
I mean, that's why I play the game.
That's why I train so hard.

209
00:09:45,294 --> 00:09:47,004
I wanna be the best running back
to ever play football.

210
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:48,505
[fast-paced music playing]

211
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:52,259
[commentator] Hand-off Saquon,
makes the first man miss, second man miss.

212
00:09:52,342 --> 00:09:54,594
[analyst 2]
Boy, that's shades of Barry Sanders there,

213
00:09:54,678 --> 00:09:57,180
making him miss
at point blank range.

214
00:09:57,264 --> 00:09:59,308
If he's modeled his game after me,

215
00:09:59,391 --> 00:10:02,436
then he's been paying attention.
He's a good student.

216
00:10:07,858 --> 00:10:11,862
You can talk about his speed
and you can talk about his vision,

217
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:15,157
his quickness
and his ability to make a miss.

218
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,702
And he's just
one of those dynamic players.

219
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:21,621
I hear you go, like, he-he-he.
You go he-he-he.

220
00:10:21,705 --> 00:10:23,457
Go he-he-he.

221
00:10:23,540 --> 00:10:27,085
My rookie year,
I had 2,000 all-purpose yards.

222
00:10:27,169 --> 00:10:29,087
[commentator] He refused to go down.

223
00:10:30,505 --> 00:10:32,341
[Saquon] And 15 touchdowns.

224
00:10:32,424 --> 00:10:34,343
[commentator] Wow,
Barkley jumped over a man.

225
00:10:34,426 --> 00:10:36,636
This rookie can do everything.

226
00:10:38,472 --> 00:10:41,808
The sky's the limit for you, man.
You know, the sky's the limit.

227
00:10:41,892 --> 00:10:43,810
-I really love your talent, man.
-Appreciate that.

228
00:10:43,894 --> 00:10:45,187
It's remarkable to see.

229
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:47,272
I was able to be
Offensive Rookie of the Year.

230
00:10:47,356 --> 00:10:51,360
Should've been All-Pro,
but that's coming off your team's success.

231
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:53,111
We only had five wins.

232
00:10:53,195 --> 00:10:55,906
[pulsing music playing]

233
00:10:57,366 --> 00:11:00,202
[Saquon] What is it like
being on a losing team?

234
00:11:00,285 --> 00:11:02,371
It sucks. It drains you.

235
00:11:07,459 --> 00:11:10,379
I remember we played Pittsburgh Steelers.

236
00:11:10,462 --> 00:11:16,134
I had, like, nine carries
for 12 yards, or some bullshit.

237
00:11:16,218 --> 00:11:21,181
I had, like, two pass pickups
that I wasn't really happy about.

238
00:11:21,264 --> 00:11:23,642
And a lot of people talking a lot shit.

239
00:11:25,102 --> 00:11:26,520
Tiki being one.

240
00:11:26,603 --> 00:11:29,606
[Tiki] Saquon Barkley,
he might not be in every damn bag.

241
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:31,233
He cannot pass protect.

242
00:11:31,316 --> 00:11:34,277
Saquon Barkley's a big man.
He doesn't wanna hit anybody.

243
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:36,988
He does a lot of dancing,
a lot of negative yards.

244
00:11:37,072 --> 00:11:38,824
He's a big back who wants to play small.

245
00:11:38,907 --> 00:11:41,660
After that game and that week of practice,

246
00:11:41,743 --> 00:11:45,789
I was in a place
where I was not playing the game

247
00:11:45,872 --> 00:11:47,082
for the love of it.

248
00:11:47,165 --> 00:11:51,044
I was gonna force a great performance
the next week.

249
00:11:51,128 --> 00:11:55,424
I even thought about
buying a Tiki Barber jersey.

250
00:11:55,507 --> 00:11:58,802
You know, wearing a Tiki Barber jersey
after I go for 200 yards.

251
00:11:58,885 --> 00:12:04,433
All those idiotic and immature things
was running through my head at the time.

252
00:12:04,516 --> 00:12:06,393
I was ready
to have the best game of my life.

253
00:12:06,476 --> 00:12:08,145
You know, we had a power play.

254
00:12:09,187 --> 00:12:12,315
I was able to break the tackle
and I was stumbling

255
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,568
and Eddie Jackson come up

256
00:12:14,651 --> 00:12:18,405
and I'm thinking I might let him go by
and then take off.

257
00:12:18,488 --> 00:12:19,906
I took one step...

258
00:12:21,408 --> 00:12:23,201
[commentator] And Barkley is down.

259
00:12:23,285 --> 00:12:26,746
[tense music]

260
00:12:26,830 --> 00:12:28,790
[Saquon] I just knew
what happened already.

261
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:01,281
I remember when they took me
to the back, like,

262
00:13:01,364 --> 00:13:02,949
I don't know if it was because of pain,

263
00:13:03,033 --> 00:13:06,077
like, I was just crying.
I just wanted to throw up,

264
00:13:06,161 --> 00:13:08,622
and I had to sit in the shower and, like,

265
00:13:08,705 --> 00:13:11,958
just let hot water just run down me
for a good 20 minutes.

266
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:13,627
And I just barely couldn't move

267
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:15,795
and just butt-ass naked,
just crying in the shower.

268
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,757
Um, 'cause I'm realizing
what's actually happened to me.

269
00:13:25,138 --> 00:13:26,973
I didn't blow up his phone.

270
00:13:27,057 --> 00:13:29,976
I wasn't freaking out,
calling everybody. I was...

271
00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:31,311
really, just laid-back.

272
00:13:31,394 --> 00:13:33,647
And I just remember sending him a text.
And I was like...

273
00:13:35,023 --> 00:13:36,900
[sighs]

274
00:13:38,777 --> 00:13:42,572
I basically said, "Don't worry.
We're gonna take care of you."

275
00:13:43,782 --> 00:13:47,202
He gets home, and Jada... [exhales]

276
00:13:48,411 --> 00:13:51,122
And Jada sees him with the brace
on his leg and everything.

277
00:13:51,206 --> 00:13:53,625
And, um, she said, "Daddy!"

278
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:57,045
"You need a Band-Aid." [sniffs]

279
00:14:00,423 --> 00:14:04,678
And I remember just thinking,
like, "Jada, I wish it was that simple."

280
00:14:06,388 --> 00:14:11,434
He injured all of the ligaments
on the medial side of his knee.

281
00:14:11,518 --> 00:14:15,021
He tore the ACL on the inside
because of the rotation.

282
00:14:15,105 --> 00:14:18,900
He severed the entire width
of the meniscus,

283
00:14:18,984 --> 00:14:20,819
all the way through the rim.

284
00:14:20,902 --> 00:14:23,405
He was basically invincible.

285
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:25,782
-[Saquon] Can you wave?
-[Anna chuckles]

286
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:28,034
[Anna] One of his friends
would call him Hercules,

287
00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:29,953
Superquon, all these nicknames

288
00:14:30,036 --> 00:14:33,081
that, like, make him seem
like he's this untouchable human.

289
00:14:33,164 --> 00:14:35,500
[nurse] I'm gonna get you situated
and then I'm gonna walk this up to Tanya.

290
00:14:35,584 --> 00:14:37,294
[Saquon] Thank you, guys.

291
00:14:43,341 --> 00:14:45,260
It made him realize,
you know what, I'm human.

292
00:14:45,343 --> 00:14:46,886
[doctor] Everything went really well.

293
00:14:46,970 --> 00:14:49,472
He's got a really nice new ACL graft.

294
00:14:49,556 --> 00:14:51,725
Took that from the front of his knee.

295
00:14:51,808 --> 00:14:54,227
Couldn't have asked for this
to turn out any better.

296
00:14:54,311 --> 00:14:57,939
He is strong
and doesn't wanna be seen as weak.

297
00:14:58,023 --> 00:15:00,609
He's, like, "I'm not letting anybody
see me leave in a wheelchair."

298
00:15:00,692 --> 00:15:02,777
You're getting into that wheelchair.

299
00:15:04,696 --> 00:15:07,949
Huh? That's how they got
to get you out of here.

300
00:15:08,033 --> 00:15:10,452
Tell them I don't want to.

301
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:13,079
-But you're gonna have to.
-I don't want to.

302
00:15:13,163 --> 00:15:14,664
Get up for me, right here.

303
00:15:17,167 --> 00:15:18,418
No weight. No weight.

304
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:22,756
[nurse] Those are actually pretty good.

305
00:15:22,839 --> 00:15:24,007
Can I pop a wheelie?

306
00:15:27,135 --> 00:15:29,721
[male nurse] There you go.
Hang on to the door there.

307
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:32,015
Perfect, perfect.
You're gonna turn towards us...

308
00:15:32,098 --> 00:15:34,643
[female nurse] Here. Just turn and sit.
Yeah. There you go.

309
00:15:34,726 --> 00:15:39,064
[Saquon] The crazy thing, I remember
talking to my dad, going into the season.

310
00:15:39,147 --> 00:15:40,690
I'm just like, I really...

311
00:15:40,774 --> 00:15:42,901
Like, God never really tested me.

312
00:15:42,984 --> 00:15:45,654
Like, what was going to be His challenge?

313
00:15:45,737 --> 00:15:48,531
Like, 'cause I've always, like,
my life, like,

314
00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:50,742
no one's life is perfect,

315
00:15:50,825 --> 00:15:53,328
but I've always had a clean--
Especially with football,

316
00:15:53,411 --> 00:15:56,623
outside, like, I never really had any,
like, challenges.

317
00:15:56,706 --> 00:15:59,334
[somber music playing]

318
00:16:00,835 --> 00:16:03,922
[Anna] It took a piece out of him.
It broke him down a little bit.

319
00:16:10,762 --> 00:16:14,182
You can't get up and get a snack
if you want to just go get a snack.

320
00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:16,810
You can't drive yourself to get treatment.

321
00:16:16,893 --> 00:16:19,729
You really are relying on the people
around you for absolutely everything.

322
00:16:21,564 --> 00:16:25,360
Did you allow yourself to be upset? Angry?

323
00:16:25,443 --> 00:16:27,862
I gave myself two days.

324
00:16:27,946 --> 00:16:30,365
[Saquon] Sundays are, like,
the worst days for me.

325
00:16:30,448 --> 00:16:32,701
I'm, like,
the Giant's biggest fan right now.

326
00:16:32,784 --> 00:16:34,035
That's the only thing I can do.

327
00:16:34,119 --> 00:16:36,162
[commentator] Jones
is gonna be sacked again.

328
00:16:36,246 --> 00:16:37,956
It's over.

329
00:16:40,375 --> 00:16:43,962
Friday will be week ten,
so it'll be ten weeks after surgery.

330
00:16:44,045 --> 00:16:47,132
When I close my eyes, I can't really
visualize me running the ball.

331
00:16:48,049 --> 00:16:51,553
That just goes to show you how much
I'm separated from the game.

332
00:16:51,636 --> 00:16:55,390
He ain't used to
being in one spot.

333
00:16:55,473 --> 00:16:57,183
And that took a lot out of him.

334
00:16:58,476 --> 00:17:00,979
[Saquon] The training is so redundant.

335
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:09,612
When can I start, like...

336
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:12,574
doing stuff like that...

337
00:17:12,656 --> 00:17:16,661
So, I don't want you to squat beyond,
about, 45 degrees.

338
00:17:16,744 --> 00:17:18,829
I just want you to remember one thing,

339
00:17:18,913 --> 00:17:21,958
with Odell and with AP,

340
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,002
they didn't have
the same kind of injury you did.

341
00:17:25,086 --> 00:17:28,757
Okay? You had, you had a lot more.

342
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,216
When the time is right,

343
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:32,177
feel free to compare yourself to anybody

344
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:33,720
'cause you're gonna be better
than everybody.

345
00:17:33,803 --> 00:17:37,807
But, um, right now,
I just wanna make sure

346
00:17:37,891 --> 00:17:40,852
that we're on the same page
with what we need to protect

347
00:17:40,935 --> 00:17:42,562
-as we're going through the therapy.
-Yeah.

348
00:17:42,645 --> 00:17:44,397
Right now, it's May 26th.

349
00:17:44,481 --> 00:17:47,150
I'm approaching seven months off surgery.

350
00:17:47,233 --> 00:17:50,695
Having the confidence in making a cut
in your knee is all cool,

351
00:17:50,779 --> 00:17:54,032
but it's different when it's reacting.
You know what I mean?

352
00:17:54,115 --> 00:17:56,993
So, when there's 11 men
on the other side of the ball,

353
00:17:57,076 --> 00:18:00,163
I'm hoping that, with the ball in my hand
in those practice

354
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:02,040
that we have coming up in camp,

355
00:18:02,123 --> 00:18:04,042
that, you know, I'm, it's gonna take over

356
00:18:04,125 --> 00:18:07,170
and I'm gonna go back to doing what
I love doing since I was a little kid.

357
00:18:08,213 --> 00:18:11,800
I'm still on pace to do everything
I wanted to accomplish, so...

358
00:18:11,883 --> 00:18:14,260
Just, I thought
it was gonna take me, like,

359
00:18:14,344 --> 00:18:16,596
ten or 11 years to do what I wanna do.

360
00:18:16,679 --> 00:18:19,557
It might take me 12, 13 now.
But, it's whatever.

361
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:24,896
If I could just walk away when
I wanna walk away, that's the goal.

362
00:18:27,857 --> 00:18:29,901
And a ring. Or three.

363
00:18:38,034 --> 00:18:40,995
Today is September 12th.
We play week one.

364
00:18:42,580 --> 00:18:46,918
Eight days away from being a year
to the day, exactly, when I tore my ACL.

365
00:18:48,044 --> 00:18:50,797
And it's the first time
that I'll be able to play football again,

366
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,298
uh, since September 20th.

367
00:18:53,299 --> 00:18:54,926
-Can you see it?
-[cameraman] Yeah.

368
00:18:56,010 --> 00:18:58,429
There's a reason why
that's the background on my phone.

369
00:18:58,513 --> 00:19:00,849
That was a low point in my life
and, you know,

370
00:19:00,932 --> 00:19:02,976
it's showing me
getting carried off the field.

371
00:19:03,059 --> 00:19:04,686
You know,
I've always had the mentality that, like,

372
00:19:04,769 --> 00:19:06,437
you know, try to be Superman.

373
00:19:06,521 --> 00:19:08,273
Get the job done. Get the job done.

374
00:19:08,356 --> 00:19:10,567
Um, but that kinda
made me realize

375
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:12,569
that the things
you wanna accomplish in life,

376
00:19:12,652 --> 00:19:14,946
you can't do it by yourself,
it takes a family.

377
00:19:15,029 --> 00:19:17,448
Daddy gotta go.
Can you give Daddy kissy?

378
00:19:17,532 --> 00:19:18,825
Eat it all!

379
00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:21,911
-Can Daddy get a hug goodbye?
-Sure. Have fun.

380
00:19:21,995 --> 00:19:23,746
Come and kiss me. I love you.

381
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:25,999
Only thing I could think of
is people having my back

382
00:19:26,082 --> 00:19:28,459
and helping me and pushing me
to get back to where I am.

383
00:19:28,543 --> 00:19:29,961
And to where I wanna be

384
00:19:30,044 --> 00:19:33,131
and week one is the first time I get to
actually put that on display.

385
00:19:33,214 --> 00:19:39,178
[commentator] It's Saquon Barkley
on the field to start this 2021 season.

386
00:19:39,262 --> 00:19:42,724
And first down, Saquon Barkley.

387
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:44,267
To about the 45.

388
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:46,019
[analyst 3] Well, there's a test
on that cut.

389
00:19:46,102 --> 00:19:48,730
He makes it, bam,
he sees the problem right here,

390
00:19:48,813 --> 00:19:51,065
gets his eyes around,
puts his foot in the ground,

391
00:19:51,149 --> 00:19:54,027
great cut, and then guess what?
The turf monster got him.

392
00:19:54,110 --> 00:19:56,070
But that's called football shade.

393
00:19:56,154 --> 00:19:58,573
You know? You gotta get used to that.
You gotta feel that.

394
00:19:58,656 --> 00:20:03,620
[commentator] And the final score,
the Broncos dominate the Giants 27 to 13.

395
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:06,247
-Hey.
-It's good.

396
00:20:07,624 --> 00:20:09,667
-So, how you feel?
-Good.

397
00:20:11,419 --> 00:20:12,712
So proud of you.

398
00:20:12,795 --> 00:20:15,298
You worked so hard to get back here.

399
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:17,050
[Sterling Shepard]
We're gonna be straight, bro.

400
00:20:17,133 --> 00:20:19,218
For real, yeah, we're gonna be good.

401
00:20:19,302 --> 00:20:21,054
Yeah, no, I ain't worried about it.

402
00:20:21,137 --> 00:20:22,972
Hey, you gonna get going and shit.

403
00:20:23,056 --> 00:20:25,099
That was good for you
to get your feet wet.

404
00:20:25,183 --> 00:20:26,935
Shake your head. Know what I mean?

405
00:20:27,018 --> 00:20:28,728
It's kinda weird, like,

406
00:20:30,855 --> 00:20:33,566
I feel like they was hitting me,
but, like, not trying to hurt me.

407
00:20:33,650 --> 00:20:35,193
-You know what I mean?
-[James] They was, like,

408
00:20:35,276 --> 00:20:36,861
-timid, like, unsure?
-Like,

409
00:20:36,945 --> 00:20:39,906
like, when they was, like--
I got hit so many times,

410
00:20:39,989 --> 00:20:41,282
like, "You good? You good?"

411
00:20:41,366 --> 00:20:42,700
-Like...
-[James laughs] Like,

412
00:20:42,784 --> 00:20:44,911
-like you playing handicapped.
-I swear.

413
00:20:44,994 --> 00:20:46,162
I was like...

414
00:20:48,164 --> 00:20:49,958
Week one loss. Like...

415
00:20:50,041 --> 00:20:51,626
I don't know.

416
00:20:51,709 --> 00:20:54,337
I feel like I ain't doing shit
to help the team.

417
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,508
Last couple games I played in,
it was, like...

418
00:21:00,218 --> 00:21:02,095
[groans]

419
00:21:04,555 --> 00:21:07,725
[commentator] From AT&T Stadium
in Arlington, Texas,

420
00:21:07,809 --> 00:21:11,604
the New York Giants renew their rivalry
with the Dallas Cowboys.

421
00:21:11,688 --> 00:21:13,272
Barkley split left.

422
00:21:13,356 --> 00:21:16,484
Jones back, looks left,
throws the slant over the head of Barkley.

423
00:21:16,567 --> 00:21:17,860
Incomplete.

424
00:21:17,944 --> 00:21:20,446
[analyst 4] Oh, no. Barkley's down.

425
00:21:22,115 --> 00:21:24,158
And will limp away.

426
00:21:24,242 --> 00:21:26,619
[tense music playing]

427
00:21:28,746 --> 00:21:32,125
Here's another look at what happened.

428
00:21:32,208 --> 00:21:37,213
Oh, he stepped on the left foot
of Jourdan Lewis. Wow.

429
00:21:41,509 --> 00:21:44,846
Saquon Barkley's left ankle
being attended to

430
00:21:45,471 --> 00:21:46,806
on the Giant bench.

431
00:21:47,807 --> 00:21:52,687
And, uh, that was
an ugly twist of the ankle.

432
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:01,404
[Saquon]
My immediate reaction was just...

433
00:22:01,487 --> 00:22:02,864
fuck.

434
00:22:02,947 --> 00:22:05,616
To be honest, it was just, like...

435
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:07,243
I don't know, exhausting.

436
00:22:08,911 --> 00:22:11,414
And just, like, what the hell?

437
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:16,627
You know, you keep telling yourself,
damn, not again, not again.

438
00:22:16,711 --> 00:22:18,463
Out of all the injuries I ever had,

439
00:22:18,546 --> 00:22:21,716
this is, probably, the most fluky one
that's ever happened to me.

440
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:24,052
It's literally just, you know,

441
00:22:24,135 --> 00:22:25,636
bad luck.

442
00:22:26,929 --> 00:22:29,223
I don't know.
It's like I can't catch a break.

443
00:22:30,308 --> 00:22:33,269
I'm just fed up with just...

444
00:22:33,352 --> 00:22:34,479
my life.

445
00:22:34,562 --> 00:22:36,397
Meaning, football life.

446
00:22:36,481 --> 00:22:38,483
[somber music playing]

447
00:22:39,942 --> 00:22:43,112
[Kyle] This injury situation
is just an absolute disaster.

448
00:22:43,196 --> 00:22:45,114
[Jamie] The idea that Saquon Barkley
is injury-prone--

449
00:22:45,198 --> 00:22:46,324
[Kyle] Is he injury-prone? Yes.

450
00:22:46,407 --> 00:22:48,201
[Pat] He's missed 17 games in two years.

451
00:22:48,284 --> 00:22:50,369
[Kyle] And if you're not available,
then, you know,

452
00:22:50,453 --> 00:22:52,205
you're ability doesn't matter.

453
00:22:52,288 --> 00:22:54,415
The outside noise kinda come in.

454
00:22:56,542 --> 00:23:00,338
The "why me" mentality sinks in a lot.

455
00:23:00,421 --> 00:23:02,632
-[static noise]
-[tense music playing]

456
00:23:02,715 --> 00:23:03,966
[Saquon] Am I injury-prone?

457
00:23:04,050 --> 00:23:06,302
[Pat] ...who's supposed to be
the next great tailback?

458
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:08,137
How about he stay healthy?

459
00:23:08,221 --> 00:23:09,847
You do lose a little confidence.

460
00:23:09,931 --> 00:23:13,101
[analyst 5] Would I bet on him
being best running back of all time?

461
00:23:13,184 --> 00:23:14,519
Probably not.

462
00:23:14,602 --> 00:23:19,690
Even though, you know, I claim
to be an immensely strong person,

463
00:23:19,774 --> 00:23:22,360
negativity is gonna creep in.

464
00:23:22,443 --> 00:23:23,945
And that's the battle.

465
00:23:24,028 --> 00:23:25,947
[groans]

466
00:23:26,030 --> 00:23:28,366
-[groans]
-Right there?

467
00:23:30,493 --> 00:23:31,744
[groans]

468
00:23:31,828 --> 00:23:33,955
-Oh, turn it down. No, no.
-[therapist] Breathe.

469
00:23:34,038 --> 00:23:36,874
-Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
-Oh, fucking God, that shit hurts.

470
00:23:36,958 --> 00:23:39,001
[groans]

471
00:23:39,085 --> 00:23:41,254
That shit just hurt, boy.

472
00:23:41,337 --> 00:23:45,049
So the doubt comes in your head,
like, damn. You know what I mean?

473
00:23:45,133 --> 00:23:46,425
Am I injury-prone?

474
00:23:46,509 --> 00:23:49,303
That's the stuff you start saying
to yourself, you know.

475
00:23:49,387 --> 00:23:50,930
You hear everyone saying that,

476
00:23:51,013 --> 00:23:53,266
and you start saying stuff like,
damn, am I injury-prone?

477
00:23:53,349 --> 00:23:56,769
Especially, when you see yourself
get injured off a fucking--

478
00:23:56,853 --> 00:24:00,064
[huffs] You taking your eyes off
and just step on someone's foot.

479
00:24:00,148 --> 00:24:03,192
[commentator]
Giants fall to four and 13.

480
00:24:03,276 --> 00:24:05,486
The rebuild begins.

481
00:24:07,238 --> 00:24:10,116
[Tiki] Saquon Barkley,
his name has come up in trade rumors.

482
00:24:10,199 --> 00:24:12,201
The Giants need to trade Saquon.

483
00:24:12,285 --> 00:24:14,453
I wonder if you did trade him,
what could you even get for him

484
00:24:14,537 --> 00:24:16,706
-at this point?
-[Evan] I'm not hearing very much.

485
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:18,958
Whoa, this is the bomb.

486
00:24:19,041 --> 00:24:23,045
[excited exclamations]

487
00:24:24,297 --> 00:24:25,923
Touched a stingray, you know.

488
00:24:26,007 --> 00:24:28,301
You see how long that tail is?

489
00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:30,553
I like shit like that.

490
00:24:32,263 --> 00:24:34,724
[excited exclamations]

491
00:24:34,807 --> 00:24:37,518
[cheering]

492
00:24:43,941 --> 00:24:45,443
[Brian Baldinger]
Who wants Saquon Barkley?

493
00:24:45,526 --> 00:24:48,738
Would I give up a fourth-round pick
for Saquon Barkley?

494
00:24:48,821 --> 00:24:50,740
[Tiki] His value,
I don't know that it's ever been lower.

495
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:52,950
[Brian] The third-round pick?

496
00:24:53,034 --> 00:24:54,327
I don't know.

497
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:57,705
Uh... [sighs] It's March.

498
00:24:57,788 --> 00:25:01,959
Coming off my ankle injury and, obviously,
rehabbing my knee the year before,

499
00:25:02,043 --> 00:25:04,295
do I feel nervous about a trade? Yes.

500
00:25:04,378 --> 00:25:06,756
I'm like, I have a whole family.

501
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:09,467
-Hi, Daddy.
-[Saquon] Hey, Jada.

502
00:25:09,550 --> 00:25:12,053
Come here. Stay there. No, stay there.

503
00:25:12,136 --> 00:25:14,263
-Say "hi."
-Hi.

504
00:25:14,347 --> 00:25:16,974
-[Saquon] Say "hi, world."
-Hi.

505
00:25:17,058 --> 00:25:19,310
Say "hey, everybody,
welcome to Daddy's doc."

506
00:25:19,393 --> 00:25:21,062
Um...

507
00:25:21,145 --> 00:25:24,732
Knowing him before he was a dad versus now

508
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,317
is like night and day.

509
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,654
I think that having a daughter
really softens you.

510
00:25:29,737 --> 00:25:32,823
And changes who you are.

511
00:25:32,907 --> 00:25:35,034
-How does it look?
-It looks good.

512
00:25:35,117 --> 00:25:37,912
It looks like you're a girl
and you're getting ready for a wedding.

513
00:25:37,995 --> 00:25:39,163
-Really?
-Yeah.

514
00:25:39,247 --> 00:25:40,748
Where's your unicorn?

515
00:25:40,831 --> 00:25:43,000
When he's alone with her,

516
00:25:43,084 --> 00:25:44,794
it's so cool to see.

517
00:25:44,877 --> 00:25:46,420
He'll text me and be like,

518
00:25:46,504 --> 00:25:49,840
oh, we're gonna go to the park today.
We're gonna go swimming. Like...

519
00:25:49,924 --> 00:25:53,761
Even when I get home from work
and see what she was wearing that day,

520
00:25:53,844 --> 00:25:58,432
it's so cool to see how he acts
when he's just with her.

521
00:25:58,516 --> 00:26:00,476
Because it's something completely special.

522
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:02,270
-Cheers.
-Cheers.

523
00:26:05,189 --> 00:26:08,234
Blah-blah-blah-blah.

524
00:26:08,317 --> 00:26:09,527
-Saw that?
-Yeah.

525
00:26:09,610 --> 00:26:12,530
-Watch this.
-How do you like that one? [laughs]

526
00:26:15,324 --> 00:26:16,909
-Wow.
-[Saquon] My little girl.

527
00:26:16,993 --> 00:26:19,078
Jada Clare Barkley is...

528
00:26:19,161 --> 00:26:21,706
[tender music playing]

529
00:26:23,416 --> 00:26:26,711
...obviously, I'm biased, but I think,
the most special person in this world.

530
00:26:26,794 --> 00:26:30,047
Just the presence that she has...

531
00:26:30,131 --> 00:26:34,302
she walks into the room,
you're gonna know she's there.

532
00:26:34,385 --> 00:26:37,555
-No, Daddy. That's the hot water.
-That's the hot water?

533
00:26:37,638 --> 00:26:39,432
-Hot water goes in here first.
-Okay.

534
00:26:39,515 --> 00:26:41,392
-And then the milk goes in.
-Okay.

535
00:26:41,475 --> 00:26:42,727
Now, it's all done.

536
00:26:42,810 --> 00:26:45,271
And I know, like, my daughter's watching.

537
00:26:45,354 --> 00:26:48,357
-Good night, Dad.
-Good night kiss. I love you.

538
00:26:48,441 --> 00:26:50,443
-I'll miss you, Daddy.
-I'll miss you too.

539
00:26:50,526 --> 00:26:53,487
She, you know, just motivates me.

540
00:26:53,571 --> 00:26:56,073
[background chatter]

541
00:27:02,204 --> 00:27:03,998
[giggles] You see that?

542
00:27:04,081 --> 00:27:06,292
So, I have another blessing in my life.

543
00:27:06,375 --> 00:27:07,668
A new baby boy.

544
00:27:07,752 --> 00:27:10,171
We had, obviously, a couple ideas
of names we want it to be,

545
00:27:10,254 --> 00:27:12,298
but when I just looked at him,
in the face,

546
00:27:12,381 --> 00:27:14,050
I wanted to name him Saquon Junior.

547
00:27:14,133 --> 00:27:17,178
Now, you know,
when you name your son after you,

548
00:27:17,261 --> 00:27:19,096
that put a little more pressure on you.

549
00:27:19,180 --> 00:27:21,432
[beatbox sounds]

550
00:27:24,185 --> 00:27:25,936
[Anna] You're getting sleepy, right?

551
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:28,522
You're getting sleepy.
I see your sleepy eyes.

552
00:27:33,903 --> 00:27:36,864
Got a beautiful family.
Got a beautiful home.

553
00:27:36,947 --> 00:27:38,657
Uh, you got a routine.

554
00:27:38,741 --> 00:27:40,993
It would be better for me
to stay in New York.

555
00:27:41,077 --> 00:27:43,579
To win in New York,
the place where I was born.

556
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:46,290
["Back on my BS" by BigXthaPlug plays]

557
00:27:51,295 --> 00:27:53,130
It feels fucking great, I'm not gonna lie.

558
00:27:53,214 --> 00:27:55,216
-[James] Feels great?
-Yeah, it feels good.

559
00:27:55,299 --> 00:27:57,968
[music continues]

560
00:28:15,903 --> 00:28:19,448
[strains] No. Bang. Silly boy.
Gone four, still all there.

561
00:28:27,248 --> 00:28:28,541
Too easy. It's too easy.

562
00:28:28,624 --> 00:28:29,458
[James] Who got that?

563
00:28:29,542 --> 00:28:30,626
-Who you think?

564
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:32,002
Why you even questioning it?

565
00:28:51,105 --> 00:28:54,859
[reporter 1] It's been ten questions
and nobody's asked you about the ACL.

566
00:28:54,942 --> 00:28:57,778
I mean, do you sit there
and ever look at yourself and say,

567
00:28:57,862 --> 00:29:01,157
am I ever gonna be the guy
who lit up the league as a rookie?

568
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,992
Um, I can't focus on that.

569
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:06,036
The last couple of years, a lot of things
have been out of my control,

570
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,247
um, speaking injuries.

571
00:29:08,330 --> 00:29:09,790
Uh, just some freak accidents.

572
00:29:09,874 --> 00:29:12,460
Um, but I know the work that I put in

573
00:29:12,543 --> 00:29:13,961
and how hard I train

574
00:29:14,044 --> 00:29:17,256
and, you know, how I challenge my body
and challenge my mind.

575
00:29:17,339 --> 00:29:19,592
Uh, so, I know what I'm capable of doing.

576
00:29:19,675 --> 00:29:21,719
For me, I'm gonna get back to my style

577
00:29:21,802 --> 00:29:24,096
and get into how I play
and how I love to play the game.

578
00:29:24,180 --> 00:29:27,391
That's the only thing I ask is, God,
just bless me and keep me healthy.

579
00:29:27,475 --> 00:29:30,269
And, like, I'mma do the rest.

580
00:29:30,352 --> 00:29:31,604
Week one's always unique

581
00:29:31,687 --> 00:29:35,191
because you really don't know
what you're gonna get from a team.

582
00:29:35,274 --> 00:29:38,110
I do feel like I can put together
a couple of good games.

583
00:29:38,194 --> 00:29:40,488
Especially, at the beginning of the season

584
00:29:40,571 --> 00:29:43,782
because, you know, "I'm not supposed to be
the same player I was before."

585
00:29:45,451 --> 00:29:48,579
[commentator] And on first down,
Saquon Barkley to the sideline.

586
00:29:48,662 --> 00:29:50,498
Barkley tiptoeing down the sideline.

587
00:29:50,581 --> 00:29:52,374
And here comes the speed.

588
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:55,169
Hand-off, Saquon.

589
00:29:55,252 --> 00:29:58,172
Dances left, into the end zone.
Touchdown, Giants!

590
00:29:59,757 --> 00:30:01,300
Jones takes the snap.

591
00:30:01,383 --> 00:30:03,302
Rolls right, shovel pass to Barkley.

592
00:30:03,385 --> 00:30:05,679
Barkley in for the two-point conversion!

593
00:30:05,763 --> 00:30:08,140
[Saquon] All the hard work that I put in,

594
00:30:08,224 --> 00:30:09,517
in my knee,

595
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,393
now all makes sense, like,

596
00:30:11,477 --> 00:30:13,395
my right knee feels so good.

597
00:30:13,479 --> 00:30:16,857
Um, I can just trust it and go out there
and be Saquon.

598
00:30:16,941 --> 00:30:19,235
[commentator] And the Giants have won!

599
00:30:19,318 --> 00:30:23,781
Come to Nashville
and beat the Titans 21 to 20.

600
00:30:23,864 --> 00:30:27,785
[Saquon] 2022 is the fifth and final year
of my contract.

601
00:30:27,868 --> 00:30:30,579
Will I be a Giant next year? Um...

602
00:30:34,458 --> 00:30:37,044
I don't know. To be honest. I...

603
00:30:37,127 --> 00:30:38,837
It's football. It's a business.

604
00:30:38,921 --> 00:30:41,382
I would love to be a Giant
for the rest of my life.

605
00:30:41,465 --> 00:30:44,635
And everybody's like,
"When a running back's 28, 29, 30,

606
00:30:44,718 --> 00:30:46,011
they're pretty much dead."

607
00:30:46,095 --> 00:30:50,349
So, for me, I wanna play somewhere,
you know, that see me as a future.

608
00:30:50,432 --> 00:30:53,435
Sees me being there
and helping the team win a Super Bowl.

609
00:30:54,436 --> 00:30:58,315
[commentator] Wildcat formation
with Barkley. Saquon take the snap.

610
00:30:58,399 --> 00:31:02,027
Saquon bounces outside.
Barkley's in for the touchdown!

611
00:31:02,111 --> 00:31:03,737
That is it.

612
00:31:03,821 --> 00:31:07,449
The New York Giants have come to London
and rang the bell

613
00:31:07,533 --> 00:31:09,243
of the Green Bay Packers.

614
00:31:09,326 --> 00:31:13,163
I keep doing this and contract talks
gotta come soon. Come soon.

615
00:31:13,247 --> 00:31:16,250
'Cause, at the end of the day,
if we wait till the end of the season,

616
00:31:16,333 --> 00:31:18,127
I might as well
just go to free agency.

617
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:20,921
-[cameraman] And?
-And then, bet against everybody.

618
00:31:21,005 --> 00:31:23,382
Yes, that's how the game pushes you
to be a person that you're not.

619
00:31:23,465 --> 00:31:27,845
They say don't take business personal,
but it is personal.

620
00:31:27,928 --> 00:31:29,805
It... it is.

621
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:33,017
No one thought we were gonna be
worth a damn this year.

622
00:31:34,101 --> 00:31:36,353
You know, we're a competitive team.

623
00:31:36,437 --> 00:31:38,689
I felt like
I was a real big factor in that.

624
00:31:38,772 --> 00:31:41,525
[commentator]
Saquon Barkley on a 36-yard run.

625
00:31:41,609 --> 00:31:43,193
And the Giants have the lead.

626
00:31:43,277 --> 00:31:46,864
I don't think there's a better
running back in the NFL right now.

627
00:31:46,947 --> 00:31:50,909
So, I should be paid as the highest
running back in the NFL.

628
00:31:50,993 --> 00:31:53,203
[tense music playing]

629
00:31:53,287 --> 00:31:56,373
[commentator] Barkley's eighth
rushing touchdown of the season

630
00:31:56,457 --> 00:31:57,583
from 13 yards out.

631
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:01,045
They keep telling me
I'm the best running back in the NFL.

632
00:32:01,128 --> 00:32:03,422
So pay me like
I'm the best running back in the NFL.

633
00:32:03,505 --> 00:32:05,007
And I want a long-term deal.

634
00:32:05,090 --> 00:32:08,594
And a deal that shows
that you see me as part of the future

635
00:32:08,677 --> 00:32:10,054
of winning a championship.

636
00:32:10,137 --> 00:32:12,848
If not, if you do not see me in that,

637
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:14,266
trade me.

638
00:32:14,350 --> 00:32:15,392
You kinda get...

639
00:32:15,476 --> 00:32:17,770
caught up in it,
I guess you could say.

640
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,438
Um, it consumes you.

641
00:32:19,521 --> 00:32:23,275
I just wanna get paid
what I think I should be paid.

642
00:32:23,359 --> 00:32:26,737
[commentator] Saquon Barkley,
a career-high 35 carries.

643
00:32:30,658 --> 00:32:32,993
[Saquon] They asked me some stuff
about the contract.

644
00:32:33,077 --> 00:32:34,286
We didn't get nothing done.

645
00:32:34,370 --> 00:32:36,163
It's not even the fact
that we didn't get nothing done,

646
00:32:36,246 --> 00:32:38,165
it wasn't even... It was a joke.

647
00:32:38,248 --> 00:32:39,792
It was really a spit in my face.

648
00:32:39,875 --> 00:32:42,961
And then, come out here
and give me the ball 35 times...

649
00:32:43,045 --> 00:32:45,547
Like, they really don't,
they really don't appreciate me.

650
00:32:45,631 --> 00:32:46,757
To be completely honest.

651
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,218
They're literally just
trying to run me into the dirt.

652
00:32:49,301 --> 00:32:50,469
Get what they can get,

653
00:32:50,552 --> 00:32:52,721
then, hopefully, something bad happens

654
00:32:52,805 --> 00:32:54,973
so fucking,
he can go somewhere else.

655
00:32:55,057 --> 00:32:58,477
I feel like it was just like, all right,
a check-off, something that we did.

656
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,271
We can say we had a conversation
with Saquon about it,

657
00:33:01,355 --> 00:33:03,190
and that's really all it was.

658
00:33:03,273 --> 00:33:05,317
I wasn't heated,
but I was just kinda talking out my ass.

659
00:33:05,401 --> 00:33:07,736
I was like, tell them that, like,

660
00:33:07,820 --> 00:33:09,822
if they don't plan on making me
the highest-paid running back,

661
00:33:09,905 --> 00:33:11,115
trade me by deadline.

The way we needed to beat that team...

737

you control the clock.

Which is, it's not false.

He won't be no running back,
I'll tell you that.

765
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:45,138
After the 2022 season,

766
00:37:45,222 --> 00:37:47,975
Saquon Barkley was facing three options.

767
00:37:48,058 --> 00:37:50,060
But really, it was two options. Right?

768
00:37:50,143 --> 00:37:52,771
Because the options were
he could be a free agent,

769
00:37:52,854 --> 00:37:54,982
which was never going to happen,

770
00:37:55,065 --> 00:37:56,566
he could get franchise tagged,

771
00:37:56,650 --> 00:37:58,777
or he could sign a long-term extension.

772
00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:04,074
So, the franchise tag is
an NFL and NFLPA construction

773
00:38:04,157 --> 00:38:09,204
that essentially, allows a team
to hold on to its great player

774
00:38:09,287 --> 00:38:12,207
that they haven't reached
a long-term deal with yet.

775
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:15,919
What it is, is based on
a complicated mathematical formula.

776
00:38:16,003 --> 00:38:19,840
It's a number sign to a one-year,
fully guaranteed deal.

777
00:38:19,923 --> 00:38:22,259
The only people who like the franchise tag

778
00:38:22,342 --> 00:38:24,720
are people who work
for teams or the league.

779
00:38:24,803 --> 00:38:27,472
Because it gives them
a semblance of control

780
00:38:27,556 --> 00:38:32,436
of what to do with players who...
Of course, they don't wanna pay.

781
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:36,064
They want to build the rest of their team.
They wanna keep money in their pockets.

782
00:38:36,148 --> 00:38:38,650
Players still don't want to be
franchise tagged

783
00:38:38,734 --> 00:38:42,112
because it robs them of what
many people are able to get

784
00:38:42,195 --> 00:38:44,072
in their jobs and in their daily life,

785
00:38:44,156 --> 00:38:47,451
which is the decision to choose
where you go, where you work.

786
00:38:52,205 --> 00:38:55,000
I'm waiting on another person
to figure out

-I don't care.

827
00:40:36,017 --> 00:40:38,562
-In Madden you're on my team. I'm sorry.
-I don't care.

828
00:40:38,645 --> 00:40:42,315
If I hit free agency, I'm always gonna
give 'em the benefit of the doubt.

829
00:40:43,608 --> 00:40:46,069
I wanna stay in New York.
I don't wanna buy a new house.

830
00:40:46,153 --> 00:40:48,738
[James] You do
everything fucking thing right.

831
00:40:48,822 --> 00:40:52,367
You can say the right shit in the media.

832
00:40:52,450 --> 00:40:54,077
Don't get in trouble.

833
00:40:54,161 --> 00:40:56,997
Play well. Mind your business.

834
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,291
It still gets down to an hour before.

835
00:40:59,374 --> 00:41:01,334
I already played the nice-guy role.

836
00:41:03,503 --> 00:41:04,671
Less than eight minutes.

837
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:07,674
If he does it in this time now,
it's like, now you wanna fight.

838
00:41:07,757 --> 00:41:09,843
This industry is crazy.

839
00:41:11,761 --> 00:41:13,597
Oh, my God!

840
00:41:15,056 --> 00:41:17,517
[Ken] They got it done.
Did I tell you?

841
00:41:21,438 --> 00:41:22,439
[Saquon] Hello.

842
00:41:25,275 --> 00:41:26,693
Yeah, I know.

843
00:41:35,952 --> 00:41:37,913
They did that shit so quick.

844
00:41:37,996 --> 00:41:40,957
[James] So quick, man,
right after the DJ shit happened.

845
00:41:41,041 --> 00:41:44,169
DJ texted me at 3:52.

846
00:41:44,252 --> 00:41:46,880
Said, just on, they tagged me at 3:54.

847
00:41:46,963 --> 00:41:49,341
They sent me the letter at 3:54.

848
00:41:49,424 --> 00:41:50,717
[James] Bro, I told you.

849
00:41:52,302 --> 00:41:53,803
[deep sigh]

850
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,849
You wanna get drunk?

851
00:41:57,933 --> 00:41:59,267
-Some wine.
-Awesome.

852
00:42:00,227 --> 00:42:01,394
Been reading.

853
00:42:07,692 --> 00:42:09,736
We can talk about
all the leverage he wants,

854
00:42:09,819 --> 00:42:12,155
next year it's gonna do him no good. Why?

855
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,951
Because every team around the league
is capping their running backs.

856
00:42:16,034 --> 00:42:17,535
There's not gonna be
a team that says,

857
00:42:17,619 --> 00:42:20,205
oh, well, he sat out a year,
he's gonna be fresher, he's a year older.

858
00:42:20,288 --> 00:42:22,332
Let's give him
a $20 million-a-year contract.

859
00:42:22,415 --> 00:42:23,500
It's just not happening.

860
00:42:23,583 --> 00:42:26,878
[Ryan] So we're at this impasse
with the Giants and Saquon Barkley

861
00:42:26,962 --> 00:42:28,088
in a contract standoff,

862
00:42:28,171 --> 00:42:31,299
mostly, because of historical devaluation
of the running back,

863
00:42:31,383 --> 00:42:33,134
which I think is totally bogus

864
00:42:33,218 --> 00:42:36,846
and it's based on what happened
to Todd Gurley's career six years ago,

865
00:42:36,930 --> 00:42:39,140
and some other guys
in that same timeframe.

866
00:42:39,224 --> 00:42:41,977
And it's just that cookie cutter approach.

867
00:42:42,060 --> 00:42:45,605
Yes, once guys get towards age 30
at the running back position,

868
00:42:45,689 --> 00:42:49,526
they break down,
but 27, 26 is a long way from 30.

869
00:42:49,609 --> 00:42:51,611
You can still be a good player.

870
00:42:51,695 --> 00:42:54,030
In the Giants' case,
he's their best player.

871
00:42:54,114 --> 00:42:55,282
If you go to MetLife Stadium,

872
00:42:55,365 --> 00:42:59,035
he's still the most popular
active-player jersey in the stadium.

873
00:42:59,119 --> 00:43:00,537
When kids want their autographs,

874
00:43:00,620 --> 00:43:02,872
the line is the longest
for Saquon Barkley.

875
00:43:02,956 --> 00:43:05,333
When the media wants answers
and accountability

876
00:43:05,417 --> 00:43:06,876
for why the Giants are losing,

877
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,254
the Giants put Saquon Barkley
on the podium.

878
00:43:09,337 --> 00:43:11,172
It's the NFL,
so it's hard to win in this league.

879
00:43:11,256 --> 00:43:12,716
Other players are struggling,

880
00:43:12,799 --> 00:43:14,801
Saquon Barkley's the one
who props them up.

881
00:43:14,884 --> 00:43:17,595
Just one! We just need one good drive!

882
00:43:17,679 --> 00:43:19,514
When Daniel Jones was at his lowest,

883
00:43:19,597 --> 00:43:21,599
Saquon Barkley was the one
who kept saying,

884
00:43:21,683 --> 00:43:23,393
I believe in this guy,
I believe in this guy.

885
00:43:23,476 --> 00:43:25,312
I know we have a good quarterback.

886
00:43:25,395 --> 00:43:27,272
I think he's shown that multiple times.

887
00:43:27,355 --> 00:43:29,024
There's intrinsic value to him

888
00:43:29,107 --> 00:43:32,277
that goes beyond how many rushing yards
he had on Sunday.

889
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:33,820
They tried to use analytics

890
00:43:33,903 --> 00:43:37,407
or recent memories
of how running backs were playing

891
00:43:37,490 --> 00:43:38,825
and the injury data behind it,

892
00:43:38,908 --> 00:43:40,493
of why you shouldn't pay running backs.

893
00:43:40,577 --> 00:43:43,121
Even speaking on that,
I just hate that narrative.

894
00:43:43,204 --> 00:43:44,914
I hate it. I hate it, hate it, hate it.

895
00:43:50,086 --> 00:43:51,421
[Saquon makes playful sounds]

896
00:43:53,298 --> 00:43:56,426
-[playful sounds]
-[Saquon Jr. babbles]

897
00:44:06,519 --> 00:44:07,854
It's March 13th.

898
00:44:07,937 --> 00:44:11,441
They tagged me because
they don't want me playing anywhere else.

899
00:44:11,524 --> 00:44:13,360
They're doing what's best for them,
but at the end of the day

900
00:44:13,443 --> 00:44:14,652
I gotta do what's best for me too.

901
00:44:14,736 --> 00:44:17,864
I gotta get to a spot
where I can compete for a championship

902
00:44:17,947 --> 00:44:20,825
or a spot where that,
you know,

903
00:44:20,909 --> 00:44:24,454
they value me and wanna get
a long-term deal done with me.

904
00:44:24,537 --> 00:44:28,041
The owner called me in and, like,

905
00:44:28,124 --> 00:44:31,252
made it, like, made a point to talk to me,

906
00:44:31,336 --> 00:44:33,421
and look me in the eye.

907
00:44:33,505 --> 00:44:34,839
We weren't talking negotiation.

908
00:44:34,923 --> 00:44:37,592
You can't talk negotiation with the owner,
it's kinda illegal.

909
00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:40,011
But he's just saying that, like,

910
00:44:41,304 --> 00:44:44,891
let me know how much they value me,
how much they care about me there,

911
00:44:44,974 --> 00:44:47,268
how much I mean to the families.

912
00:44:47,352 --> 00:44:49,104
Basically,
he told me that he wants me,

913
00:44:49,187 --> 00:44:52,148
not basically, he told me
he wants me to be a Giant for life.

914
00:44:52,232 --> 00:44:54,818
And, like, I'm like, okay.

915
00:44:54,901 --> 00:44:57,612
I understand where
the running back market is going.

916
00:44:57,695 --> 00:45:01,199
Like, you can't be naive.
You can't be stubborn.

917
00:45:01,282 --> 00:45:05,120
I wanna get to anywhere from 14, 14.5.
That's what I wanna get paid.

918
00:45:08,123 --> 00:45:09,791
What's up, boss?

919
00:45:09,874 --> 00:45:11,334
[Joe] What's up, Saquon?
How're you doing?

920
00:45:11,418 --> 00:45:12,794
Doing good. What about you?

921
00:45:12,877 --> 00:45:16,297
Uh, you sure you think
this is the right course of action?

922
00:45:16,381 --> 00:45:20,051
I mean, we...
John's not gonna trade you.

923
00:45:20,135 --> 00:45:21,386
I'm just telling you that.

924
00:45:21,469 --> 00:45:24,722
So that, like,
this won't change that.

925
00:45:24,806 --> 00:45:27,892
And nobody's talking about this right now.

926
00:45:27,976 --> 00:45:30,895
Here's the other,
here's the other reality, Saquon,

927
00:45:30,979 --> 00:45:32,856
even if he was gonna trade you,

928
00:45:32,939 --> 00:45:37,652
it's hard for a team,
and this is just from my seat,

929
00:45:37,735 --> 00:45:41,364
to give up, let's say,
a first- or a second-round pick

930
00:45:41,448 --> 00:45:44,576
and then you also have to pay a player
a bunch of money.

931
00:45:44,659 --> 00:45:48,079
Like, it's just...
It's hard for teams to do that.

932
00:45:50,373 --> 00:45:53,376
And, you know,
I wouldn't give you away, so,

933
00:45:53,460 --> 00:45:55,211
you know, if a team...

934
00:45:55,295 --> 00:45:56,796
I just don't understand why...

935
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,799
I just don't understand why
if we can't get a deal done,

936
00:45:59,883 --> 00:46:02,469
why can't I get traded.

937
00:46:02,552 --> 00:46:05,305
[Joe] Our deal, Saquon,
put you in the top five

938
00:46:05,388 --> 00:46:07,557
of running backs in the league.

939
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,017
At 13.

940
00:46:10,101 --> 00:46:13,313
Yeah, but I know
you guys think it's a fair deal.

941
00:46:13,396 --> 00:46:15,440
I just feel like, um, that's not...

942
00:46:16,649 --> 00:46:18,318
really the number I wanna be at.

943
00:46:18,401 --> 00:46:21,988
And I don't really feel like
there's actually real negotiation.

944
00:46:22,071 --> 00:46:24,157
I don't know.
I just feel like, you never know.

945
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:26,576
Maybe, me coming public
can spark something.

946
00:46:26,659 --> 00:46:30,288
And get something done with some teams
and maybe some teams will reach out.

947
00:46:30,371 --> 00:46:31,831
At least it's like a chance for me.

948
00:46:31,915 --> 00:46:34,751
Instead of just sitting here,
looking like an idiot.

949
00:46:34,834 --> 00:46:36,711
[Joe] Or we can do this,
you can do this behind the scenes.

950
00:46:36,794 --> 00:46:38,254
You can have Kim call around.

951
00:46:38,338 --> 00:46:40,381
I'd rather do it privately,
to be completely honest.

952
00:46:40,465 --> 00:46:41,841
I don't wanna make a scene. Like I said,

953
00:46:41,925 --> 00:46:44,385
the first time we sat down to talk,
I said that.

954
00:46:44,469 --> 00:46:46,513
[Joe] But I'm just telling you,
John's not gonna do it,

955
00:46:46,596 --> 00:46:48,932
so we're probably
beating our head against the wall.

956
00:46:49,015 --> 00:46:52,393
Think about it for a little bit,
the deal that was offered.

957
00:46:52,477 --> 00:46:54,062
And we can circle back up.

958
00:46:54,145 --> 00:46:58,107
I just think you have so much goodwill
in the city over your five years

959
00:46:58,191 --> 00:47:01,194
and, you know, this city loves you.

960
00:47:01,277 --> 00:47:02,779
Like, it could go either way.

961
00:47:02,862 --> 00:47:04,989
Like, maybe they're like, oh,
fuck the Giants, that's bullshit.

962
00:47:05,073 --> 00:47:07,158
Or they're like,
damn, he turned that down?

963
00:47:07,242 --> 00:47:10,286
I told Kim I wanted to get to 14, 14.5.
That's the number I wanna get to.

964
00:47:10,370 --> 00:47:12,205
[Joe] Yeah, I know,
but I mean, again,

965
00:47:12,288 --> 00:47:15,542
we had already stretched
to put you in very good company

966
00:47:15,625 --> 00:47:17,418
over a lot of other backs.

967
00:47:17,502 --> 00:47:22,006
And we have to, like,
I gotta do what's best for the team.

968
00:47:22,090 --> 00:47:24,133
And I gotta do what's best for me.

969
00:47:24,217 --> 00:47:26,553
[Joe] If I do that with everybody,
then we don't have...

970
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,888
You know what I mean? Like...

971
00:47:28,972 --> 00:47:31,516
I'll just, I'll talk to Kim, um...

972
00:47:31,599 --> 00:47:34,102
You know, we're trying
to do some other stuff here,

973
00:47:34,185 --> 00:47:36,437
but I'll call Kim tonight
and talk with her.

974
00:47:36,521 --> 00:47:38,022
I'm gonna call her right after this.

975
00:47:38,106 --> 00:47:39,941
-Okay. All right.
-All right.

976
00:47:40,024 --> 00:47:44,612
I was snapping while I was on the phone
with him, by the way. [scoffs]

977
00:47:44,696 --> 00:47:46,406
I'm up 35-nothing.

978
00:47:47,949 --> 00:47:50,743
I was born in Jacobi Hospital

979
00:47:50,827 --> 00:47:52,036
in Bronx, New York.

980
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,330
Till I was, like, five years old.

981
00:47:54,414 --> 00:47:55,832
[soft music playing]

982
00:47:55,915 --> 00:47:59,460
But really, where I was raised
is Pennsylvania.

983
00:48:01,462 --> 00:48:03,423
We left the Bronx,
in what, 2000 and...

984
00:48:03,506 --> 00:48:05,383
One. I was 32.

985
00:48:05,466 --> 00:48:06,676
And I was 30.

986
00:48:08,177 --> 00:48:10,847
What do I appreciate the most
about my father?

987
00:48:10,930 --> 00:48:12,724
It's just the honesty.

988
00:48:12,807 --> 00:48:14,350
It's being open.

989
00:48:14,434 --> 00:48:16,394
I was in jail one time.

990
00:48:16,477 --> 00:48:18,271
And we was watching this fight

991
00:48:18,354 --> 00:48:20,231
and I said to myself,
that's what I wanna do.

992
00:48:20,315 --> 00:48:22,859
When I came home from jail,
that's what I pursued.

993
00:48:22,942 --> 00:48:24,986
To become a boxer.

994
00:48:25,069 --> 00:48:27,030
It kept me out of a lot of trouble.

995
00:48:28,948 --> 00:48:31,701
And when I got injured, it messed me up.

996
00:48:31,784 --> 00:48:35,079
I never... I never was right after that.

997
00:48:36,331 --> 00:48:37,999
I had a problem.

998
00:48:38,082 --> 00:48:41,419
-Drug use in the family.
-You know, with drugs.

999
00:48:41,502 --> 00:48:42,879
-You know what I'm saying?
-He had a--

1000
00:48:42,962 --> 00:48:46,049
-You had a problem with drugs.
-I had a problem with drugs

1001
00:48:46,132 --> 00:48:47,800
and she had an opportunity
to move out here.

1002
00:48:47,884 --> 00:48:49,344
I was gonna move, regardless.

1003
00:48:49,427 --> 00:48:52,138
And I took the opportunity
to come with her.

1004
00:48:52,221 --> 00:48:54,891
And my life has been great ever since.

1005
00:48:56,142 --> 00:48:57,935
[Tonya] We moved down here,

1006
00:48:58,019 --> 00:49:00,938
but circumstances had it that

1007
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,106
we lost our place.

1008
00:49:02,190 --> 00:49:04,859
We won't get into details,
but we lost our place.

1009
00:49:04,942 --> 00:49:08,404
And I mean, was we homeless,
sleeping on the streets?

1010
00:49:08,488 --> 00:49:09,530
[both] No.

1011
00:49:09,614 --> 00:49:11,824
But you know, we had to stay
with some family members

1012
00:49:11,908 --> 00:49:15,411
and being that we was a family of seven,
we had to split up.

1013
00:49:16,871 --> 00:49:18,873
The kids still make jokes about it

1014
00:49:18,956 --> 00:49:20,792
'cause they made jokes about it then.

1015
00:49:20,875 --> 00:49:23,586
And they would make jokes,
but it would make me cry.

1016
00:49:23,670 --> 00:49:25,588
'Cause they used to make...
What was that song?

1017
00:49:25,672 --> 00:49:27,423
It was like, brr, it's cold in here...

1018
00:49:27,507 --> 00:49:30,093
Because it was so cold in our house.
We didn't have no heating.

1019
00:49:30,176 --> 00:49:32,720
We used to have to
close the French doors together,

1020
00:49:32,804 --> 00:49:36,557
put something under,
put the heater in the one room...

1021
00:49:36,641 --> 00:49:39,060
It was, I mean, it was lot, but...

1022
00:49:39,143 --> 00:49:41,979
They may not have had heat,
but they did have lights.

1023
00:49:42,063 --> 00:49:43,898
You know what I mean?

1024
00:49:43,981 --> 00:49:45,983
[Saquon] My momma was a dog.

1025
00:49:46,067 --> 00:49:50,154
She just had the mentality of,
no matter what, we gonna figure it out.

1026
00:49:50,238 --> 00:49:54,409
There'd be moments when my dad,
you know, didn't have a job,

1027
00:49:54,492 --> 00:49:58,079
or wasn't doing the right things,
and she'd pick up two jobs.

1028
00:49:59,539 --> 00:50:02,208
Pick up two jobs and still come home
and take care of the kids.

1029
00:50:02,291 --> 00:50:04,168
[interviewer]
With football...

1030
00:50:04,252 --> 00:50:07,630
when did you genuinely see that
as a possibility for his future?

1031
00:50:07,714 --> 00:50:10,633
I seen that when he sat on my couch
and he said to me,

1032
00:50:10,717 --> 00:50:12,802
on Second Street, he said,

1033
00:50:12,885 --> 00:50:15,596
I'm going to the NFL
and I'm gonna buy you a house.

1034
00:50:20,268 --> 00:50:23,563
[Micah] What would you say
your biggest accomplishment was?

1035
00:50:23,646 --> 00:50:25,898
Or what you're trying to accomplish?

1036
00:50:25,982 --> 00:50:27,483
[Saquon] In football?

1037
00:50:27,567 --> 00:50:30,611
[Micah] Yeah. Or in life, like...

1038
00:50:30,695 --> 00:50:32,238
Outside football?

1039
00:50:32,321 --> 00:50:36,701
I mean, I got two homes.
That's an accomplishment.

1040
00:50:36,784 --> 00:50:38,244
I got my mom...

1041
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,454
But I'll say buying my mom a crib.

1042
00:50:42,373 --> 00:50:44,792
So, what do you do if football don't work?

1043
00:50:44,876 --> 00:50:46,836
[Micah] Bowling.

1044
00:50:46,919 --> 00:50:49,088
[laughs]

1045
00:50:49,172 --> 00:50:50,715
Bro, sometimes, bro...

1046
00:50:50,798 --> 00:50:52,759
[Micah] I'm serious.
I'm really good.

1047
00:50:52,842 --> 00:50:55,803
I really think about you, brother.
Are you serious right now?

1048
00:50:55,887 --> 00:50:57,054
-[Micah laughs]
-Listen,

1049
00:50:57,138 --> 00:50:58,639
I'm asking you a serious question.

1050
00:50:58,723 --> 00:51:00,892
What're you gonna do
when you're done with football,

1051
00:51:00,975 --> 00:51:01,893
if football don't work?

1052
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:03,978
And you look me in my eyes,
a grown ass man,

1053
00:51:04,061 --> 00:51:05,480
and say "bowling."

1054
00:51:06,647 --> 00:51:09,817
-Bro, I truly love the sport.
-I can't listen to him.

1055
00:51:09,901 --> 00:51:13,404
-[laughs] Hey!
-He's an idiot.

1056
00:51:15,114 --> 00:51:17,784
[Jamie] All right, after
franchise tagging Saquon Barkley,

1057
00:51:17,867 --> 00:51:20,411
there's been no movement
on a long-term contract

1058
00:51:20,495 --> 00:51:23,039
between the Giants
and their star running back.

1059
00:51:23,122 --> 00:51:25,082
[tense music playing]

1060
00:51:25,166 --> 00:51:27,001
[Kyle] This is the plight of Saquon.

1061
00:51:27,084 --> 00:51:28,920
If he signs this one-year deal,

1062
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,214
he's not getting
a long-term deal next year.

1063
00:51:31,297 --> 00:51:33,007
His value would be less.

1064
00:51:33,090 --> 00:51:36,761
Why would I sign? This is my only shot
to get a long-term contract

1065
00:51:36,844 --> 00:51:39,180
and I gotta take it,
whatever I have to do.

1066
00:51:45,269 --> 00:51:47,605
It's 110 degrees.

1067
00:51:47,688 --> 00:51:49,190
Running hills?

1068
00:51:52,443 --> 00:51:54,987
[Joe] You try to do
what's best for both parties

1069
00:51:55,071 --> 00:51:56,989
and, you know, in this situation,

1070
00:51:57,073 --> 00:51:59,617
we weren't able to come to an agreement.
That's okay.

1071
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:01,661
Saquon has to do what's best for him,

1072
00:52:01,744 --> 00:52:04,747
you know, for him and his family.
I respect the hell out of Saquon.

1073
00:52:08,292 --> 00:52:10,878
Why wasn't it able to get done?
Again, like,

1074
00:52:10,962 --> 00:52:13,339
we talked for over nine and a half months

1075
00:52:13,422 --> 00:52:15,550
and we came to, kind of,
a landing spot

1076
00:52:15,633 --> 00:52:18,344
and they came to a landing spot
and we couldn't bridge the gap.

1077
00:52:18,427 --> 00:52:21,013
It's a cold business
if you're a running back.

1078
00:52:21,097 --> 00:52:23,224
Ten million dollars on a franchise tag,

1079
00:52:23,307 --> 00:52:26,686
that might not be
what he had in his visions,

1080
00:52:26,769 --> 00:52:29,814
but I would not
be looking for 15 or 16 million.

1081
00:52:32,567 --> 00:52:35,027
[reporter 3] Are you worried
about any lingering unhappiness?

1082
00:52:35,111 --> 00:52:36,320
No.

1083
00:52:36,404 --> 00:52:38,656
[panting]

1084
00:52:38,739 --> 00:52:41,534
-This is peaceful as hell up here.
-Peaceful as hell.

1085
00:52:43,077 --> 00:52:45,288
The Giants decided
to franchise tag Saquon,

1086
00:52:45,371 --> 00:52:46,873
so they wouldn't lose him,

1087
00:52:46,956 --> 00:52:50,626
and to do a long-term deal
with Daniel Jones.

1088
00:52:50,710 --> 00:52:53,421
And so then, the wait begins.

1089
00:53:05,975 --> 00:53:07,184
Yeah?

1090
00:53:11,689 --> 00:53:13,399
-Hello?
-[Saquon chuckles]

1091
00:53:15,318 --> 00:53:16,319
Who's that?

1092
00:53:16,402 --> 00:53:18,487
[Saquon] Today is July 17th,

1093
00:53:18,571 --> 00:53:24,160
and I had till four o'clock Eastern time
to get a deal done.

1094
00:53:24,243 --> 00:53:25,870
[indistinct TV chatter]

1095
00:53:25,953 --> 00:53:31,667
[Ed Berry on phone] I don't see a path
past 11 and a half.

1096
00:53:31,751 --> 00:53:36,172
Somewhere like that
would be their best and final.

1097
00:53:36,255 --> 00:53:39,800
And then, you know, like,
we've gotta make a big-boy decision.

1098
00:53:39,884 --> 00:53:43,137
Like, do we take it
and we run with the money

1099
00:53:43,220 --> 00:53:44,555
and we call it a day, or...

1100
00:53:44,639 --> 00:53:47,683
Aaron Jones got paid 11 and a half?

1101
00:53:47,767 --> 00:53:48,601
[Ed] What?

1102
00:53:48,684 --> 00:53:51,437
Aaron Jones
getting paid 11 and a half?

1103
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:55,191
[Ed] Yeah, his, yes,
he's at 11 and a half right now.

1104
00:53:55,274 --> 00:53:59,570
And his guarantee wouldn't be
what your guarantee was,

1105
00:53:59,654 --> 00:54:01,781
but he was at 12 even.

1106
00:54:01,864 --> 00:54:04,867
He restructured this all season
to 11 and a half.

1107
00:54:04,951 --> 00:54:06,661
All right, just keep me updated.

1108
00:54:06,744 --> 00:54:09,038
[Ed] I will. I'll call you
the second anything changes.

1109
00:54:09,121 --> 00:54:10,831
-All right.
-Yep.

1110
00:54:11,916 --> 00:54:16,003
[sighs] Every time I talk about this shit,
my blood just boils.

1111
00:54:16,087 --> 00:54:17,380
It's the principle.

1112
00:54:17,463 --> 00:54:19,382
That's all it is. It's the principle.

1113
00:54:19,465 --> 00:54:22,259
I would've signed for...
I would've signed for fucking...

1114
00:54:23,803 --> 00:54:25,596
eleven million dollars,
ten million dollars,

1115
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,390
if they would've just operated
a whole different way.

1116
00:54:27,473 --> 00:54:30,851
If I feel like it was, actually,
in my heart, if I felt it was,

1117
00:54:30,935 --> 00:54:33,229
damn, they tried their best
to actually get this done,

1118
00:54:33,312 --> 00:54:34,981
actually tried to get this done,

1119
00:54:35,064 --> 00:54:37,233
and this is where we're at,
it's at 11 million,

1120
00:54:37,316 --> 00:54:38,818
then I would've signed for that.

1121
00:54:40,653 --> 00:54:43,489
Eleven... 23 million guaranteed.

1122
00:54:44,699 --> 00:54:48,327
Do you want die on the sword
over two, three million dollars?

1123
00:54:50,162 --> 00:54:52,581
[Jada giggling]

1124
00:54:58,963 --> 00:55:00,881
[Saquon] Is this the offer?

1125
00:55:00,965 --> 00:55:02,758
How bad? I'm gonna open it.

1126
00:55:02,842 --> 00:55:05,428
[Ed] It's not great. [clears throat]

1127
00:55:05,511 --> 00:55:08,723
It's not incentives, it's escalators.

1128
00:55:08,806 --> 00:55:10,599
What do we think on this deal?

1129
00:55:10,683 --> 00:55:15,479
And we need to come to a consensus of
we're all agreed that we're passing,

1130
00:55:15,563 --> 00:55:17,523
or we're all agreed that we're taking.

1131
00:55:17,606 --> 00:55:19,692
-Passing.
-And if we all agree...

1132
00:55:19,775 --> 00:55:21,485
-Passing.
-I say if we all agree...

1133
00:55:21,569 --> 00:55:23,487
-Passing.
-Saquon, whatever you wanna do.

1134
00:55:23,571 --> 00:55:25,114
Passing.

1135
00:55:25,197 --> 00:55:27,116
-[Ed] What?
-Passing.

1136
00:55:27,199 --> 00:55:29,744
Hold on. John-- Mr. Mara is calling.

1137
00:55:29,827 --> 00:55:31,537
[Ed] All right, do that.

1138
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,248
Hey, Mr. Mara.

1139
00:55:34,331 --> 00:55:36,208
[John on phone] Hey, how you doing?
Did I miss your call?

1140
00:55:36,292 --> 00:55:37,918
Yeah, yeah, it's all good. Um...

1141
00:55:38,002 --> 00:55:40,087
So, yeah, I wanna
run something by you quick,

1142
00:55:40,171 --> 00:55:41,922
I just, uh, seen the offer

1143
00:55:42,006 --> 00:55:44,592
and, um, just talked about it
with my agent.

1144
00:55:44,675 --> 00:55:47,636
Once again, I appreciate that,
but I've talked to...

1145
00:55:47,720 --> 00:55:50,222
I brought this up to Joe
a couple times

1146
00:55:50,306 --> 00:55:54,060
and he kinda declined me
and said ownership won't allow it.

1147
00:55:54,143 --> 00:55:56,562
Um, if, obviously clearly,

1148
00:55:56,645 --> 00:56:02,026
I don't think we're gonna get to a place
where we can agree on a deal.

1149
00:56:02,109 --> 00:56:05,738
So, would you allow me permission
to seek for a trade?

1150
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,700
[John] No, Saquon, I'm not gonna do that.

1151
00:56:09,784 --> 00:56:12,495
That makes no sense for us.

1152
00:56:13,579 --> 00:56:15,456
To be honest with you,

1153
00:56:15,539 --> 00:56:19,168
it's not gonna be in our long-term
best interest to do that.

1154
00:56:19,251 --> 00:56:23,464
There's no way that I'm gonna allow
to trade you at this point, no.

1155
00:56:23,547 --> 00:56:25,466
I'm just being honest with you.

1156
00:56:28,302 --> 00:56:29,512
Okay, I appreciate that.

1157
00:56:29,595 --> 00:56:33,682
You know, you're too valuable
to this franchise.

1158
00:56:33,766 --> 00:56:35,893
So it's like, I wanna be here, like,

1159
00:56:35,976 --> 00:56:38,395
you're telling me
you want me to a Giant for life,

1160
00:56:38,479 --> 00:56:40,397
I'm telling you
I wanna be a Giant for life,

1161
00:56:40,481 --> 00:56:43,400
but the negotiation and the contracts
that's being sent...

1162
00:56:43,484 --> 00:56:46,904
[clears throat] ...don't really feel like
it's matching that same energy.

1163
00:56:46,987 --> 00:56:48,572
And it's like,
I don't wanna go nowhere else.

1164
00:56:48,656 --> 00:56:49,865
I don't wanna be nowhere else,

1165
00:56:49,949 --> 00:56:53,244
but I also don't wanna feel like I'm stuck
and like I'm just,

1166
00:56:53,327 --> 00:56:55,496
okay, like, we got you
so you have to be here.

1167
00:56:55,579 --> 00:56:58,666
I know it's business,
but there's a human side to it too.

1168
00:56:58,749 --> 00:57:02,628
[John] Yeah, there is and that's why
we're trying to have these negotiations.

1169
00:57:02,711 --> 00:57:05,172
Because if it was strictly
a cold business,

1170
00:57:05,256 --> 00:57:09,051
this is where we would say, well,
screw him, he's gotta play under the tag.

1171
00:57:09,135 --> 00:57:12,346
And I would never, ever
want that situation,

1172
00:57:12,429 --> 00:57:14,181
particularly, with you.

1173
00:57:14,265 --> 00:57:16,559
That's why we're having this discussion.

1174
00:57:16,642 --> 00:57:20,563
We can agree to disagree, but,
you know, in negotiations, I mean,

1175
00:57:20,646 --> 00:57:22,439
players will always wanna be paid more

1176
00:57:22,523 --> 00:57:24,942
and the teams always wanna
pay a little bit less.

1177
00:57:25,025 --> 00:57:27,486
And that's just the way life is
in this business,

1178
00:57:27,570 --> 00:57:31,323
but that doesn't mean that
we don't value you and want you here.

1179
00:57:31,407 --> 00:57:35,411
And you know,
that we can agree to disagree

1180
00:57:35,494 --> 00:57:37,288
on the numbers,

1181
00:57:37,371 --> 00:57:40,749
but I think, just the fact that
we're continuing to have these discussions

1182
00:57:40,833 --> 00:57:44,378
and will go over and above
what the franchise number is,

1183
00:57:44,461 --> 00:57:47,464
should demonstrate to you
how we feel about you.

1184
00:57:49,425 --> 00:57:51,427
[Saquon] We didn't come
to an agreement, really.

1185
00:57:51,510 --> 00:57:54,013
Now, I'm faced with the decision if...

1186
00:57:54,096 --> 00:57:56,182
if I'm gonna miss camp,
if I'm gonna to camp,

1187
00:57:56,265 --> 00:57:58,517
if I'm gonna miss the season.

1188
00:57:58,601 --> 00:58:02,605
And, now, I got some thinking to do.

1189
00:58:02,688 --> 00:58:05,232
-They...
-[James] How many characters you got?

1190
00:58:05,316 --> 00:58:08,569
-I'm right here. They don't...
-[background chatter]

1191
00:58:08,652 --> 00:58:10,738
They don't want to...

1192
00:58:10,821 --> 00:58:12,364
This is what I'm about to put,
'cause actually,

1193
00:58:12,448 --> 00:58:14,408
I don't even gotta be politically correct.

1194
00:58:14,491 --> 00:58:16,994
I'm not in my post-career yet.
This is what I'm trying to get at.

1195
00:58:17,077 --> 00:58:19,330
I wanna, this is what I'm
basically trying to say.

1196
00:58:19,413 --> 00:58:22,041
I want the fans to know that I've said
I want to be a Giant for life, obviously.

1197
00:58:22,124 --> 00:58:23,375
It takes two to tango.

1198
00:58:23,459 --> 00:58:26,045
I've negotiated against myself,
trying to get multiple deals done.

1199
00:58:26,128 --> 00:58:29,548
I've asked to be traded,
there's teams that called to be traded,

1200
00:58:29,632 --> 00:58:31,217
and now I just feel trapped.

1201
00:58:31,300 --> 00:58:33,469
You won't trade me and you won't pay me.

1202
00:58:33,552 --> 00:58:37,514
[Ed] As the deadline...
As the deadline approached,

1203
00:58:37,598 --> 00:58:40,726
you know,
I did everything humanly possible

1204
00:58:40,809 --> 00:58:42,144
to get a deal done.

1205
00:58:44,063 --> 00:58:47,149
And something like, you know,
the other side won't engage.

1206
00:58:47,233 --> 00:58:48,234
Right? It's like...

1207
00:58:49,610 --> 00:58:51,570
Fuck it. I'm done.

1208
00:58:51,654 --> 00:58:54,740
It's not worth it. It's not even who I am,
if I'm being honest.

1209
00:58:54,823 --> 00:58:57,201
[Ed] Agreed. I like that better.

1210
00:58:57,284 --> 00:58:59,870
I wasn't going
to try to break the bank.

1211
00:58:59,954 --> 00:59:02,623
All I wanted was a fair negotiation.

1212
00:59:02,706 --> 00:59:04,541
Not just my back against the wall

1213
00:59:04,625 --> 00:59:06,710
and you used the tag deadline
against me.

1214
00:59:06,794 --> 00:59:08,671
It's like, take this or not.

1215
00:59:08,754 --> 00:59:10,714
Take this or not. Take this or not.

1216
00:59:10,798 --> 00:59:12,466
I called Coach Franklin.

1217
00:59:12,549 --> 00:59:15,344
I said, "You have no skin in the game."

1218
00:59:15,427 --> 00:59:18,013
He said, "You're right,
I have no skin in the game."

1219
00:59:18,097 --> 00:59:21,767
I said, "How do you think
I should handle the situation?"

1220
00:59:21,850 --> 00:59:25,729
And he said...
He pulled the heartstrings a little bit.

1221
00:59:25,813 --> 00:59:28,691
He said, "The Saquon I know,

1222
00:59:28,774 --> 00:59:30,651
since he was 18 years old,

1223
00:59:30,734 --> 00:59:34,822
would go there, show up,
ball out, and make it all work."

1224
00:59:34,905 --> 00:59:37,366
And I said, in my mind,
"You're damn right."

1225
00:59:37,449 --> 00:59:39,618
Breaking news coming in
to Good Morning Football right now

1226
00:59:39,702 --> 00:59:43,580
is that the Giants and Saquon Barkley
have agreed to terms.

1227
00:59:43,664 --> 00:59:46,458
The running back returning
to the New York Giants.

1228
00:59:46,542 --> 00:59:48,377
We are hearing this just now.
There is a tweet.

1229
00:59:48,460 --> 00:59:50,629
Giants and star running back
Saquon Barkley

1230
00:59:50,713 --> 00:59:54,341
agreed to terms on a new one-year deal...

1231
00:59:54,425 --> 00:59:56,885
One year, of course,
he was gonna be franchise tagged.

1232
00:59:56,969 --> 00:59:59,263
It's worth up to 11 million dollars.

1233
00:59:59,346 --> 01:00:01,348
[soft music playing]

1234
01:00:02,850 --> 01:00:04,351
[Saquon] It was year six,

1235
01:00:04,435 --> 01:00:06,937
week two, against Arizona.

1236
01:00:08,105 --> 01:00:12,276
[commentator] Right back to Barkley
and Arizona's ready to stop the run.

1237
01:00:12,359 --> 01:00:15,988
Barkley got crunched,
and he comes up hopping.

1238
01:00:16,071 --> 01:00:18,949
[Saquon] When I first hurt my ankle,
I knew I hurt it.

1239
01:00:19,033 --> 01:00:21,410
I was, I literally screamed.

1240
01:00:21,493 --> 01:00:23,662
And as I got up, I put pressure down

1241
01:00:23,746 --> 01:00:26,498
and then, you could tell
something wasn't right.

1242
01:00:27,624 --> 01:00:30,502
It's like, you know,
you're like golly...

1243
01:00:30,586 --> 01:00:31,962
it's just, why?

1244
01:00:32,046 --> 01:00:36,342
[commentator] Barkley needs a lot of help
to come off the field.

1245
01:00:36,425 --> 01:00:38,135
[tense music playing]

1246
01:00:38,218 --> 01:00:40,220
So then, everyone talked about
me slamming my helmet,

1247
01:00:40,304 --> 01:00:42,306
oh, he must've did
something really bad

1248
01:00:42,389 --> 01:00:44,350
'cause he slammed his helmet.
It was more frustration.

1249
01:00:44,433 --> 01:00:47,895
[analyst 7] You can see the frustration
of Barkley, right now.

1250
01:00:48,771 --> 01:00:50,814
Fuck! Like, damn.

1251
01:00:50,898 --> 01:00:53,942
Out of all years, like,
not this year, but...

1252
01:00:54,026 --> 01:00:55,402
Just a little adversity.

1253
01:00:55,486 --> 01:00:57,696
I knew
it wasn't gonna be easy this year.

1254
01:00:57,780 --> 01:00:59,865
It's like, if I can go, I'm gonna go.

1255
01:01:01,450 --> 01:01:03,744
[commentator]
Hand-off, Barkley. Stopped.

1256
01:01:03,827 --> 01:01:05,662
Didn't even get a yard.

1257
01:01:05,746 --> 01:01:08,165
[Saquon] I'm not gonna be able to do this,
at some point.

1258
01:01:08,248 --> 01:01:10,125
I can't think about the long-term contract

1259
01:01:10,209 --> 01:01:13,337
because there's really
no long-term contract to be had.

1260
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,924
There's nothing I can do.

1261
01:01:17,007 --> 01:01:18,842
They still have me under a tag.

1262
01:01:20,094 --> 01:01:22,137
The joy was so far gone.

1263
01:01:23,222 --> 01:01:26,809
[analyst 8] Giants will try to figure out
who's back next year.

1264
01:01:26,892 --> 01:01:28,769
Will Saquon Barkley be back?

1265
01:01:30,062 --> 01:01:33,357
What are my contract predictions
for the end of the year?

1266
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,443
Um... To be honest,

1267
01:01:36,527 --> 01:01:38,237
I have no hope, going into it.

1268
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:44,034
Uh, I don't think I'm going
to get a long-term deal. Um...

1269
01:01:44,118 --> 01:01:47,371
[Craig Carton] The New York Giants
control every aspect of this.

1270
01:01:47,454 --> 01:01:50,749
If they wanna franchise him again,
it is their right to do it.

1271
01:01:50,833 --> 01:01:52,626
So, it's great that he wants to be here.

1272
01:01:52,709 --> 01:01:56,463
It's great that we, as fans, would love
to see him playing on a better team

1273
01:01:56,547 --> 01:01:57,756
'cause he's a great player.

1274
01:01:57,840 --> 01:01:59,425
But none of it matters.

1275
01:01:59,508 --> 01:02:02,636
The New York Giants are gonna F with him

1276
01:02:02,719 --> 01:02:06,515
because it's in their best interests
not to let him go for nothing.

1277
01:02:06,598 --> 01:02:08,934
No one's gonna give them
two first-round draft picks

1278
01:02:09,017 --> 01:02:10,185
'cause he's a running back.

1279
01:02:10,269 --> 01:02:12,354
And if they wanna bring him back
for 12 million bucks,

1280
01:02:12,438 --> 01:02:13,856
there ain't nothing he can do about it.

1281
01:02:13,939 --> 01:02:15,399
[tense music playing]

1282
01:02:15,482 --> 01:02:17,985
[Saquon] If I was a free agent,
at least I'd be able to entertain it.

1283
01:02:18,068 --> 01:02:20,529
I could see what numbers I'm gonna get.
Know what I mean?

1284
01:02:20,612 --> 01:02:22,781
See what numbers I get
from all these teams.

1285
01:02:22,865 --> 01:02:25,159
And that I'm in control.
I'm in the driver's seat.

1286
01:02:25,242 --> 01:02:26,660
If I wanna pick this
or I wanna pick that.

1287
01:02:26,743 --> 01:02:30,873
I've done nothing but represent
this organization the right way.

1288
01:02:30,956 --> 01:02:35,252
Like, it don't gotta be...
it don't gotta be like this.

1289
01:02:35,335 --> 01:02:36,587
It could be simple.

1290
01:02:36,670 --> 01:02:38,338
It's insane.

1291
01:02:38,422 --> 01:02:39,590
I can't go nowhere.

1292
01:02:40,924 --> 01:02:43,844
And you know why I can't go nowhere?

1293
01:02:43,927 --> 01:02:46,305
You wanna know why I can't go...
You know, like...

1294
01:02:47,473 --> 01:02:50,851
I can't go nowhere
because I do it the right way.

1295
01:02:50,934 --> 01:02:53,395
Everybody wanna do the thing
where, oh, okay,

1296
01:02:53,479 --> 01:02:56,106
the last running backs
for the last ten years

1297
01:02:56,190 --> 01:02:59,401
haven't been the top ten rushers,
or some shit like that.

1298
01:02:59,485 --> 01:03:03,280
Who are the quarterbacks in the fucking
Super Bowl for the last ten years?

1299
01:03:03,363 --> 01:03:07,618
It's been Brady, Mahomes, Joe Burrow,
and it's like, all like...

1300
01:03:07,701 --> 01:03:09,786
they've been, like,
there's only 32 teams,

1301
01:03:09,870 --> 01:03:11,955
there's only four or five
of those motherfuckers.

1302
01:03:12,039 --> 01:03:13,248
Everybody don't have that,

1303
01:03:13,332 --> 01:03:16,043
so everyone that has tried
to stick to that formula

1304
01:03:16,126 --> 01:03:18,337
are just fucking fucking themselves.

1305
01:03:18,420 --> 01:03:19,546
Fucking themselves.

1306
01:03:19,630 --> 01:03:20,756
I'm young.

1307
01:03:22,007 --> 01:03:27,012
And they say that, you know,
you're supposed to start slowing down.

1308
01:03:27,095 --> 01:03:30,474
Um, I looked
at Barry Sanders' numbers.

1309
01:03:30,557 --> 01:03:33,101
I looked at Walter.
I looked at Curtis Martin.

1310
01:03:33,185 --> 01:03:34,895
I looked at a lot of my favorite backs

1311
01:03:34,978 --> 01:03:38,106
and from 26 to 30
was kinda, like, their primes.

1312
01:03:38,190 --> 01:03:40,317
I'm in a position
where I'm heading into my prime.

1313
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,779
I'm getting to my prime.
My only leverage, really, is waiting or...

1314
01:03:43,862 --> 01:03:45,739
you know...

1315
01:03:45,822 --> 01:03:48,659
could do some asshole shit, I guess.

1316
01:03:48,742 --> 01:03:51,620
Play and win championships.
That's all I wanna do.

1317
01:04:00,254 --> 01:04:02,214
[Saquon]
They're like, he's so selfless,

1318
01:04:02,297 --> 01:04:04,007
like, he's just a team guy.

1319
01:04:05,801 --> 01:04:08,637
[cameraman] What's the origin
of that being your brand?

1320
01:04:11,348 --> 01:04:13,392
[Saquon] It started in high school.

1321
01:04:13,475 --> 01:04:14,935
I run a 100-meter race.

1322
01:04:15,018 --> 01:04:17,396
I win the race. I win the gold medal.

1323
01:04:17,479 --> 01:04:21,984
There's a girl,
she runs 110-meter hurdles.

1324
01:04:22,067 --> 01:04:25,237
She wins, but there was
a malfunction in the beginning.

1325
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,447
Right?
So then, they had to rerun the race.

1326
01:04:27,531 --> 01:04:30,742
She runs it again. She was gonna win.
She hits a hurdle

1327
01:04:30,826 --> 01:04:32,661
and she ends up losing the race.

1328
01:04:32,744 --> 01:04:33,870
She's upset.

1329
01:04:33,954 --> 01:04:36,456
And I'm just like, in my mind
I'm like, that ain't right.

1330
01:04:36,540 --> 01:04:38,166
I'm going to college.

1331
01:04:39,293 --> 01:04:40,752
To play football.

1332
01:04:40,836 --> 01:04:43,380
I'm doing track, literally, just for fun.

1333
01:04:43,463 --> 01:04:45,173
I truly don't care about this medal.

1334
01:04:45,257 --> 01:04:48,135
So I go up to her
and I give her my gold medal.

1335
01:04:48,218 --> 01:04:51,388
Somehow, someway, word got around.

1336
01:04:51,471 --> 01:04:54,182
And that was, like,
my first story of,

1337
01:04:54,266 --> 01:04:56,393
oh, Saquon, and like, da-da-da.

1338
01:04:56,476 --> 01:04:58,604
I had to do interviews
and stuff like that.

1339
01:04:58,687 --> 01:05:01,815
This was like my first time
I've actually ever went viral,

[Jamie] Breaking news out of the NFL.

1342
01:05:06,778 --> 01:05:09,531
The New York Giants
are not using their franchise tag

1343
01:05:09,615 --> 01:05:11,533
on star running back Saquon Barkley.

1344
01:05:11,617 --> 01:05:13,994
It means that Barkley is likely
to hit the market

1345
01:05:14,077 --> 01:05:15,662
as a free agent next week.

1346
01:05:15,746 --> 01:05:19,374
Fundamentally, they did not believe
in the second franchise tag.

1347
01:05:19,458 --> 01:05:24,463
I don't think they love the value
of 12 million dollars for one year

1348
01:05:24,546 --> 01:05:26,548
to a running back
that's all fully guaranteed.

1349
01:05:26,632 --> 01:05:28,300
I don't think they liked that value.

1350
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:33,221
What the Giants told Saquon was,
go find your market.

1357
01:05:54,409 --> 01:05:56,495
And then match it.

1358

you want the opportunity.

01:11:20,402 --> 01:11:22,654
He outruns everybody.

1478
01:11:26,074 --> 01:11:29,119
[Mike] Saquon Barkley, are you kidding me?

1479
01:11:30,996 --> 01:11:34,165
Saquon Barkley is the man.

1480
01:11:36,876 --> 01:11:39,671
It's October 19th.

1481
01:11:41,172 --> 01:11:44,426
Tomorrow we play
the New York Football Giants.

1482
01:11:44,509 --> 01:11:47,095
I feel bad for them.
I wish I was still on the Giants.

1483
01:11:47,178 --> 01:11:48,763
I like saying "Giants."

1484
01:11:48,847 --> 01:11:51,349
Let's go, Giants, let's go!

1485
01:11:53,101 --> 01:11:54,644
I feel really bad for the Giants

1486
01:11:54,728 --> 01:11:57,897
'cause my dad's gonna have to play
against his best friend.

1487
01:11:57,981 --> 01:11:59,149
His best friends.

1488
01:12:00,775 --> 01:12:02,861
It's, like, kinda weird 'cause, like,

1489
01:12:02,944 --> 01:12:04,904
it's, like, the first time

1490
01:12:04,988 --> 01:12:07,782
that I don't really have an answer

1491
01:12:07,866 --> 01:12:12,746
or I actually don't know how I feel.

1492
01:12:12,829 --> 01:12:17,292
I'm assuming I will probably have
a different perspective on it tomorrow.

1493
01:12:17,375 --> 01:12:20,670
You know, when I'm
actually walking in MetLife Stadium.

1494
01:12:20,754 --> 01:12:22,422
I wanted him to stay here,

1495
01:12:22,505 --> 01:12:25,508
but, you know, I believe that he
just mostly went for money, so,

1496
01:12:25,592 --> 01:12:27,886
you know, at this point,
I'm anti-Saquon, that's how it is.

1497
01:12:27,969 --> 01:12:29,721
I think Saquon's a great guy.

1498
01:12:29,804 --> 01:12:33,433
That was a business decision
for him and for the team.

1499
01:12:33,516 --> 01:12:35,351
I think he's a good person.

1500
01:12:35,435 --> 01:12:37,312
I don't blame him for leaving,

1501
01:12:37,395 --> 01:12:41,316
but he shouldn't have left for Philly,
you know what I mean?

1502
01:12:41,399 --> 01:12:44,069
I think it's just
because of the rivalry that we have,

1503
01:12:44,152 --> 01:12:45,528
like them being in the division.

1504
01:12:45,612 --> 01:12:48,740
It's like, it's like if a Yankees' player
is so Yankees

1505
01:12:48,823 --> 01:12:50,075
and then he goes to the Red Sox.

1506
01:12:50,158 --> 01:12:51,868
It's, like, you don't do that.

1507
01:12:53,536 --> 01:12:54,746
-[Cam] B, you all right?
-Yes, sir.

1508
01:12:54,829 --> 01:12:56,081
You doing anything special today?

1509
01:12:58,374 --> 01:13:00,543
Yo, we're doing shit special today.

1510
01:13:01,878 --> 01:13:04,339
[crowd cheering]

1511
01:13:08,009 --> 01:13:10,929
[commentator] It's the return
of Saquon Barkley.

1512
01:13:11,012 --> 01:13:13,389
Once the face of the Giants,

1513
01:13:13,473 --> 01:13:15,517
now a force for the Eagles.

1514
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,770
[Saquon] Oh, man. It's a beautiful day.

1515
01:13:18,853 --> 01:13:20,146
It's a beautiful day.

1516
01:13:20,230 --> 01:13:22,232
["Ready 2 Go" by Kairo & Shaki playing]

1517
01:13:38,623 --> 01:13:40,333
[Saquon] Don't worry, I'm coming.

1518
01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:43,461
Hey, every time I touch the pill,
I'm gonna get booed?

1519
01:13:43,545 --> 01:13:45,839
How long that last?
The whole game?

1520
01:13:45,922 --> 01:13:47,340
I'mma shut 'em up.

1521
01:14:05,358 --> 01:14:07,986
Come on! You're a little ass boy!

1522
01:14:08,069 --> 01:14:10,280
I'm in the end zone.
You're a little ass boy!

1523
01:14:10,363 --> 01:14:12,782
That's me and you. Little ass boy!

1524
01:14:12,866 --> 01:14:14,576
Ha-ha-ha. Get your ass up.

1525
01:14:14,659 --> 01:14:15,827
Get your ass up.

1526
01:14:15,910 --> 01:14:18,163
Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

1527
01:14:18,246 --> 01:14:20,707
Come on, baby. [shouts]

1528
01:14:20,790 --> 01:14:23,209
Hey! Give me a crease.

1529
01:14:23,293 --> 01:14:24,752
I'll set this bitch off.

1530
01:14:24,836 --> 01:14:27,881
[music continues]

1531
01:14:50,612 --> 01:14:52,530
[Tiki] Saquon Barkley
comes back here,

1532
01:14:52,614 --> 01:14:54,699
and he put his stamp
on this football game.

1533
01:14:54,782 --> 01:14:56,659
-Belt to ass.
-Yeah.

1534
01:14:56,743 --> 01:14:59,204
-Belt to motherfuckin' ass.
-Belt to motherfuckin' ass.

1535
01:14:59,287 --> 01:15:03,124
Hey, go eat.
Mugga, mugga, mugga.

1536
01:15:06,711 --> 01:15:10,924
You're 13 yards away from you career high,
I would love for you to get that.

1537
01:15:11,007 --> 01:15:12,842
-But that's up to you.
-It's all good.

1538
01:15:12,926 --> 01:15:15,637
I just don't want...
I'm gonna take out all the starters

1539
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:17,305
-if they don't score.
-You gotta let them eat.

1540
01:15:17,388 --> 01:15:19,098
-Sure?
-Yeah.

1541
01:15:19,182 --> 01:15:20,683
-You sure?
-I promise.

1542
01:15:20,767 --> 01:15:22,810
Now, listen to me,
I want you to do it if you wanna do it.

1543
01:15:22,894 --> 01:15:25,355
It's all good.
I'd rather see the young boys eat.

1544
01:15:25,438 --> 01:15:27,899
-How you feel?
-It's another game.

1545
01:15:27,982 --> 01:15:29,692
-How it feel?
-You know what I mean?

1546
01:15:29,776 --> 01:15:32,528
I'm gonna do it again next week.
You all keep playing like that.

1547
01:15:34,656 --> 01:15:36,783
Appreciate you. Appreciate you.

1548
01:15:36,866 --> 01:15:38,201
Seriously.

1549
01:15:39,744 --> 01:15:41,454
You see, when I get to a good team,

1550
01:15:41,537 --> 01:15:43,456
and now I'm playing at that level,
it's like,

1551
01:15:43,539 --> 01:15:46,042
oh, okay, wow, like,
that stuff does happen.

1552
01:15:46,125 --> 01:15:49,837
Would I have an MVP caliber-type season
if I'm with the New York Giants this year?

1553
01:15:49,921 --> 01:15:50,922
No.

1554
01:15:51,005 --> 01:15:54,300
A year ago I was as, I lost a step.

1555
01:15:54,384 --> 01:15:57,387
I wasn't this, like,
is he really worth it?

1556
01:15:57,470 --> 01:16:00,848
And now I'm
a "Player of the Year" MVP candidate.

1557
01:16:00,932 --> 01:16:02,558
He's got Hall-of-Fame talent.

1558
01:16:02,642 --> 01:16:05,520
But the Giants, obviously,
set him back in injuries.

1559
01:16:05,603 --> 01:16:07,897
["peekaboo (feat AzChike)"
by Kendrick Lamar playing]

1560
01:16:07,981 --> 01:16:10,775
[Chris] What matters is your legacy,
like, how we view his legacy

1561
01:16:10,858 --> 01:16:13,695
is being an injured running back.

1562
01:16:13,778 --> 01:16:15,488
He's a big boy. He knows it.

1563
01:16:17,156 --> 01:16:19,867
[commentator] Barkley
laying out some punishment.

1564
01:16:19,951 --> 01:16:23,413
Now, running with Barkley. Touchdown!

1565
01:16:23,496 --> 01:16:24,330
Hurts has time.

1566
01:16:24,414 --> 01:16:26,207
Now locates Barkley out of the backfield.

1567
01:16:26,291 --> 01:16:28,293
Barkley slips two tackles.

1568
01:16:28,376 --> 01:16:33,047
[Evan] I have never, ever, ever
seen that in an NFL game.

1569
01:16:33,131 --> 01:16:35,300
[Tiki] What is that? Bro.

1570
01:16:35,383 --> 01:16:37,385
[music continues]

1571
01:16:59,407 --> 01:17:01,117
[commentator] Barkley!

1572
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,453
Does he have another one? Yes, he does.

1573
01:17:03,536 --> 01:17:05,246
Touchdown. Unstoppable.

1574
01:17:05,330 --> 01:17:08,875
[Mike] When was the last time you saw
Saquon Barkley have that kind of energy?

1575
01:17:22,889 --> 01:17:25,516
[commentator] What a night! What a season!

1576
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:26,559
What a player!

1577
01:17:26,642 --> 01:17:28,978
[Nick] Franchise record for Saquon,
255 yards.

1578
01:17:29,062 --> 01:17:30,813
[cheering]

1579
01:17:39,864 --> 01:17:41,115
[music ends]

1580
01:17:41,199 --> 01:17:42,950
It's December 17th.

1581
01:17:43,034 --> 01:17:46,037
Uh... week... God knows.

1582
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:49,749
Uh, just coming off ten wins straight.

1583
01:17:49,832 --> 01:17:53,044
Uh, something that
the Eagles never done before.

1584
01:17:53,127 --> 01:17:55,046
So, that's amazing to be a part of that.

1585
01:17:55,129 --> 01:17:57,548
But, moral of the story,

1586
01:17:57,632 --> 01:18:00,718
the MVP is an award
that goes to the Most Valuable Player.

1587
01:18:00,802 --> 01:18:03,721
For me to win MVP, I have to break
Eric Dickerson's record

1588
01:18:05,014 --> 01:18:07,308
that's been around for 40 years.

1589
01:18:07,392 --> 01:18:09,394
If Eric Dickerson's record...

1590
01:18:10,686 --> 01:18:13,856
is in the way
of us winning football games,

1591
01:18:13,940 --> 01:18:16,359
then, like, yeah.

1592
01:18:16,442 --> 01:18:17,944
But at the same time,
I'm not scared of it.

1593
01:18:18,027 --> 01:18:20,655
I'm not gonna be like, oh, yeah,
I'll tell you this,

1594
01:18:20,738 --> 01:18:23,616
I need 420-something yards in three games.

1595
01:18:25,243 --> 01:18:27,870
[commentator] Barkley carries it
20 times per game.

1596
01:18:27,954 --> 01:18:29,956
Has room and there he goes!

1597
01:18:30,039 --> 01:18:33,000
Saquon Barkley showing the speed.

1598
01:18:33,084 --> 01:18:34,919
He'll take it all the way.

1599
01:18:35,002 --> 01:18:39,924
Barkley, over 100 yards
in the first quarter in Washington.

1600
01:18:40,007 --> 01:18:42,009
Back to Barkley.

1601
01:18:42,093 --> 01:18:43,636
Barkley breaks the tackle.

1602
01:18:43,719 --> 01:18:44,804
He's at the 40.

1603
01:18:44,887 --> 01:18:49,308
He has just broken
the 2,000 yard rushing mark.

1604
01:18:49,392 --> 01:18:51,561
[Mike] He's gonna have a chance
at the record next week

1605
01:18:51,644 --> 01:18:54,397
if they decide to play him
against the Giants.

1606
01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:56,065
[Saquon] The fact that

1607
01:18:56,149 --> 01:19:01,446
I can break the all-time rushing record
against the New York Football Giants...

1608
01:19:02,780 --> 01:19:05,700
For this doc, for a story.

1609
01:19:05,783 --> 01:19:07,910
Like, you can't make this shit up.

1610
01:19:07,994 --> 01:19:09,996
I gotta be honest with you,
you can't make this shit up.

1611
01:19:10,079 --> 01:19:12,039
So, yeah, the story would be
so much sweeter.

1612
01:19:12,123 --> 01:19:15,001
The story would be so much sweeter,
you cannot make it up.

1613
01:19:15,084 --> 01:19:16,294
But, like,

1614
01:19:16,377 --> 01:19:18,504
truly, truly, truly, truly,

1615
01:19:18,588 --> 01:19:20,673
not for the reason why people think.

1616
01:19:22,717 --> 01:19:25,052
[Saquon] There's so many people
in that organization

1617
01:19:25,136 --> 01:19:28,806
that had to deal with my knee,
had to help me come back.

1618
01:19:28,890 --> 01:19:31,559
-[therapist 2] One more second.
-[groans]

1619
01:19:32,602 --> 01:19:34,228
The player you're seeing right now,

1620
01:19:34,312 --> 01:19:35,980
the MVP candidate,

1621
01:19:36,063 --> 01:19:38,524
franchise records,
records on records, or whatever,

1622
01:19:38,608 --> 01:19:41,694
would not be possible
without those guys over there.

1623
01:19:41,777 --> 01:19:44,071
[Rich Eisen] It was the hot topic
all week.

1624
01:19:44,155 --> 01:19:46,741
Should the Eagles try
to get Saquon Barkley

1625
01:19:46,824 --> 01:19:48,868
the all-time rushing record?

1626
01:19:48,951 --> 01:19:52,205
Nick Sirianni told us
it was a difficult decision.

1627
01:19:52,288 --> 01:19:55,666
Was it the right decision
to sit Saquon and the starters?

1628
01:19:55,750 --> 01:19:59,712
The Birds are locked into the two-seed
for the NFC playoffs.

1629
01:19:59,795 --> 01:20:01,339
If you have the opportunity,

1630
01:20:01,422 --> 01:20:05,218
going into the playoffs healthy,
which we are,

1631
01:20:05,301 --> 01:20:07,220
why wouldn't you do that?

1632
01:20:07,303 --> 01:20:10,264
The thing that matters
is winning the championship.

1633
01:20:10,348 --> 01:20:12,099
I'm locked in
to get ready for the Super Bowl

1634
01:20:12,183 --> 01:20:13,851
and try to have
the best birthday of my life.

1635
01:20:13,935 --> 01:20:16,103
'Cause February 9th
is the Super Bowl Sunday,

1636
01:20:16,187 --> 01:20:18,356
that's my birthday.
So, that's my celebration.

1637
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:19,899
That's my party I wanna have,

1638
01:20:19,982 --> 01:20:22,610
is feeling that confetti fall on my face.

1639
01:20:23,903 --> 01:20:26,239
[commentator] Good afternoon, everyone.

1640
01:20:26,322 --> 01:20:27,323
Welcome to the playoffs.

1641
01:20:27,406 --> 01:20:29,659
Wildcard Weekend here in Philadelphia.

1642
01:20:29,742 --> 01:20:32,495
["Hear It from the Crowd"
by Liam Geddes & Megan O'Neill playing]

1643
01:20:43,256 --> 01:20:45,258
[loud cheering]

1644
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,312
[loud cheering]

1645
01:21:00,356 --> 01:21:04,944
[commentator] Well, the Eagles are just
about into victory formation.

1646
01:21:05,027 --> 01:21:07,321
It goes to Barkley. And again he breaks!

1647
01:21:07,405 --> 01:21:09,657
He's at the 40th, and he falls down.

1648
01:21:09,740 --> 01:21:11,117
He could've taken that home.

1649
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,078
But he said, I will fall down
and run out the clock.

1650
01:21:14,161 --> 01:21:16,872
-You said no más.
-I know.

1651
01:21:16,956 --> 01:21:20,710
-You said no más.
-Keep runnin', shit!

1652
01:21:20,793 --> 01:21:23,629
[commentator] Wasn't the best game
the Eagles ever played,

1653
01:21:23,713 --> 01:21:26,340
but it was a very solid win.

1654
01:21:29,302 --> 01:21:32,179
[Saquon] It's, like,
your coach is the one that establish it

1655
01:21:32,263 --> 01:21:34,432
and then a leader's gotta follow.

1656
01:21:34,515 --> 01:21:37,476
Take the message and put it into the team.

1657
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:39,562
But it sends a message
to your team.

1658
01:21:39,645 --> 01:21:40,980
Like, what's this about?

1659
01:21:41,063 --> 01:21:42,773
I wanna fucking win the game.

1660
01:21:42,857 --> 01:21:44,775
We won the game. The call was "no más."

1661
01:21:44,859 --> 01:21:47,320
If Coach doesn't call "no más,"
I score a touchdown.

1662
01:21:47,403 --> 01:21:48,529
He called "no más."

1663
01:21:48,613 --> 01:21:51,157
"No más" situation is
if you get the first down,

1664
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,743
you get down. That's all it was.

1665
01:21:53,826 --> 01:21:56,203
Saturday, January 18th.

1666
01:21:56,287 --> 01:21:58,789
Divisional round.
We practiced outside all week.

1667
01:21:58,873 --> 01:22:01,334
We kinda got a little snow.
Four to five inches.

1668
01:22:01,417 --> 01:22:02,585
Can't replicate that.

1669
01:22:02,668 --> 01:22:06,339
The only way you can do that is by going
out there and actually playing on it.

1670
01:22:06,422 --> 01:22:10,384
So you got to be conscious of the grass
and slipping and put on the right cleats.

1671
01:22:12,053 --> 01:22:13,262
Go team!

1672
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,059
[indistinct chatter]

1673
01:22:24,065 --> 01:22:25,858
[Anna] Good luck.
You look fire.

1674
01:22:25,941 --> 01:22:28,444
-Thank you, bye, see you.
-Good luck!

1675
01:22:30,655 --> 01:22:32,031
It's a snowy day.

1676
01:22:33,491 --> 01:22:35,493
You can taste it. You can taste the snow.

1677
01:22:35,576 --> 01:22:38,954
-[Jada] Daddy! Ew! No!
-All right.

1678
01:22:39,038 --> 01:22:40,998
Better get straight to it, ladies.

1679
01:22:50,925 --> 01:22:53,886
Ah... Boo! We're here.

1680
01:22:56,097 --> 01:22:57,098
Hey!

1681
01:23:01,977 --> 01:23:03,145
[Jada] Daddy!

1682
01:23:04,563 --> 01:23:06,107
What took you so long?!

1683
01:23:06,190 --> 01:23:07,900
When did you get here?

1684
01:23:07,983 --> 01:23:10,695
We're just gonna go. I love you.

1685
01:23:10,778 --> 01:23:13,197
[Jada] Daddy, I got frostbite.

1686
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:14,448
[player] Let's go!

1687
01:23:19,662 --> 01:23:20,788
[Saquon] I love you.

1688
01:23:21,706 --> 01:23:23,708
[woman 4] Here comes the snow.

1689
01:23:23,791 --> 01:23:26,627
[tense music playing]

1690
01:23:32,258 --> 01:23:33,467
[commentator] Gives off to Barkley.

1691
01:23:33,551 --> 01:23:35,386
He's got a first down and more.

1692
01:23:35,469 --> 01:23:39,181
Fifty, 40, 30, 20, touchdown!

1693
01:23:39,265 --> 01:23:40,933
Saquon Barkley...

1694
01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:43,102
[loud cheering]

1695
01:23:51,193 --> 01:23:53,154
[fan 4] We love Saquon!

1696
01:23:56,073 --> 01:23:58,617
Lot of snow. We want more snow.

1697
01:23:58,701 --> 01:24:00,494
[player 2] It's all night, baby.

1698
01:24:00,578 --> 01:24:03,456
[commentator] The snow comes down
with more intensity

1699
01:24:03,539 --> 01:24:06,584
than it has at any time this afternoon.

1700
01:24:06,667 --> 01:24:09,378
It's all good. Let's make a play.

1701
01:24:09,462 --> 01:24:11,297
Have each other's back.

1702
01:24:11,380 --> 01:24:13,674
There's going to be adversity.
We talked about this.

1703
01:24:13,758 --> 01:24:15,050
Do you have traction?

1704
01:24:15,134 --> 01:24:17,720
I mean, a little.
You're still gonna slide.

1705
01:24:19,388 --> 01:24:22,099
[Mike] The Eagles have the ball
on their own 22-yard line.

1706
01:24:23,184 --> 01:24:25,478
-Barkley time?
-[Cris] Oh, it has to be.

1707
01:24:33,110 --> 01:24:35,196
[commentator] It goes to Barkley.
He breaks a tackle.

1708
01:24:35,279 --> 01:24:37,490
-He's on his way. Here he goes.
-[loud cheering]

1709
01:24:37,573 --> 01:24:41,994
He's at the 40, 30, 20, 15, ten, five...

1710
01:24:42,077 --> 01:24:44,580
touchdown!

1711
01:24:44,663 --> 01:24:46,665
Saquon Barkley...

1712
01:24:46,749 --> 01:24:49,084
[Mike] He is a special football player.

1713
01:24:49,168 --> 01:24:52,004
[loud cheering]

1714
01:25:06,185 --> 01:25:07,728
Ball game.

1715
01:25:10,940 --> 01:25:13,859
[commentator] Through the snow,
all the way home.

1716
01:25:13,943 --> 01:25:17,363
He's hit another home run
against the Rams.

1717
01:25:17,446 --> 01:25:20,658
And this one might send him
to the championship game.

1718
01:25:21,826 --> 01:25:24,203
[uplifting music playing]

1719
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,920
-I'm so happy for him.
-I'm so happy for you guys!

1720
01:25:33,003 --> 01:25:35,047
[commentator] What a game. What a game.

1721
01:25:38,759 --> 01:25:40,803
The run I had...

1722
01:25:40,886 --> 01:25:44,348
against the Rams,
that run to me was so special.

1723
01:25:44,431 --> 01:25:48,310
Not because of the touchdown,
just like, the moment that led up to it.

1724
01:25:51,814 --> 01:25:54,900
The place I took my head to,
all right, come on, it's that time,

1725
01:25:54,984 --> 01:25:56,193
and then, boom.

1726
01:25:58,946 --> 01:26:02,283
It's called flow. You just get
into this thing where you feel like

1727
01:26:02,366 --> 01:26:04,326
everything you do is right.

1728
01:26:04,410 --> 01:26:07,538
You don't second-guess anything.
You just let loose.

1729
01:26:08,998 --> 01:26:12,126
It all came together, like,
it happened in one play.

1730
01:26:13,377 --> 01:26:16,922
And like, you're
able to feel, just, the energy

1731
01:26:17,006 --> 01:26:18,716
within the environment.

1732
01:26:18,799 --> 01:26:21,010
The closest thing I could think of it is

1733
01:26:21,093 --> 01:26:24,889
a rapper playing their song
and they're not singing anything.

1734
01:26:24,972 --> 01:26:27,224
And everyone's just speaking for 'em.

1735
01:26:47,161 --> 01:26:49,830
Now, I'm playing
for the NFC Championship Game.

1736
01:26:49,914 --> 01:26:52,416
I think if I had this conversation
with myself

1737
01:26:52,499 --> 01:26:54,043
when I was eight, nine, ten years old,

1738
01:26:54,126 --> 01:26:56,462
he wouldn't even believe
the spot that I'm in right now.

1739
01:26:56,545 --> 01:27:00,591
-Get him down.
-Yeah, get him down. Get him down.

1740
01:27:02,259 --> 01:27:05,387
-I said help!
-Sister, what're you doing?

1741
01:27:05,471 --> 01:27:07,973
-[Jada] I said help!
-What happened?

1742
01:27:08,057 --> 01:27:09,475
[Jada] I said help.

1743
01:27:11,018 --> 01:27:13,938
[wresting sounds]

1744
01:27:14,021 --> 01:27:16,774
[Jada squeals] Yay! Thanks, SJ.

1745
01:27:16,857 --> 01:27:18,484
[Saquon Jr.] You're welcome.

1746
01:27:18,567 --> 01:27:20,903
It is January 26th.

1747
01:27:20,986 --> 01:27:23,280
The day of the NFC Championship Game.

1748
01:27:23,364 --> 01:27:25,115
The biggest game of my career so far.

1749
01:27:25,199 --> 01:27:29,036
-[child] Go, Saquon! Let's get 200 today.
-Yes, sir.

1750
01:27:29,119 --> 01:27:30,663
[commentator] For the ninth time,

1751
01:27:30,746 --> 01:27:34,291
the Philadelphia Eagles are playing
in the NFC Championship Game.

1752
01:27:34,375 --> 01:27:36,460
[Hurts] You live for days like this.
You hear me?

1753
01:27:36,543 --> 01:27:38,462
You live for days like this.
Let's do this.

1754
01:27:38,545 --> 01:27:40,547
[tense music playing]

1755
01:27:42,591 --> 01:27:43,926
Go, Birds!

1756
01:27:45,135 --> 01:27:49,056
[commentator] The very first play
of the game for the Eagles offense.

1757
01:27:51,850 --> 01:27:53,560
They pitch it out to Barkley.

1758
01:27:53,644 --> 01:27:55,145
Takes off to the outside.

1759
01:27:55,229 --> 01:27:57,773
He's at the 50. He's at the 40.

1760
01:27:57,856 --> 01:28:00,693
He's at the 30. He's gonna go!

1761
01:28:00,776 --> 01:28:04,196
Fifteen, ten, five. Touchdown!

1762
01:28:04,279 --> 01:28:09,284
Saquon Barkley!
Sixty yards on an opening push.

1763
01:28:11,996 --> 01:28:16,291
Chinn can't get him on the ground.
Martin can't get him on the ground.

1764
01:28:16,375 --> 01:28:20,838
Nobody gets Saquon on the ground, again.

1765
01:28:20,921 --> 01:28:24,049
The explosion. Amazing. Amazing.

1766
01:28:27,219 --> 01:28:28,929
He's channeling MVP.

1767
01:28:29,013 --> 01:28:30,639
He should be. He really should be.

1768
01:28:34,768 --> 01:28:36,145
Hurts sees Barkley.

1769
01:28:36,228 --> 01:28:37,646
Off to the outside.

1770
01:28:38,772 --> 01:28:41,316
His second touchdown of the game!

1771
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:44,194
Hey, we're not done. We're not done.

1772
01:28:46,572 --> 01:28:48,907
[commentator] Barkley, runs wide.
Touchdown!

1773
01:28:48,991 --> 01:28:50,701
His third of the game.

1774
01:28:50,784 --> 01:28:52,578
And the Eagles...

1775
01:28:52,661 --> 01:28:57,708
not just beat, but annihilate,
the Washington Commanders.

1776
01:28:57,791 --> 01:28:59,126
[chanting] MVP!

1777
01:28:59,209 --> 01:29:02,379
-[fan 5] We love him here!
-[chanting] MVP! MVP!

1778
01:29:02,463 --> 01:29:04,923
MVP means Most Valuable Player.

1779
01:29:06,175 --> 01:29:08,552
Who do you think they think
the Most Valuable Player is?

1780
01:29:08,635 --> 01:29:10,095
Daddy.

1781
01:29:10,179 --> 01:29:11,930
Jada, when you see your daddy,

1782
01:29:12,014 --> 01:29:15,267
you be like, Daddy,
you got one off your bucket list.

1783
01:29:15,350 --> 01:29:17,811
It's been a long time coming.

1784
01:29:17,895 --> 01:29:19,688
We're going to the Super Bowl.

1785
01:29:20,814 --> 01:29:22,066
On his birthday.

1786
01:29:22,149 --> 01:29:23,233
Hey!

1787
01:29:23,317 --> 01:29:25,444
Hey! Birthday party in New Orleans.

1788
01:29:25,527 --> 01:29:26,570
[laughing]

1789
01:29:28,906 --> 01:29:30,949
Oh, my God, Jada, look!

1790
01:29:31,033 --> 01:29:33,035
[uplifting music playing]

1791
01:29:45,047 --> 01:29:47,800
-Daddy!
-What's up, baby?

1792
01:29:54,264 --> 01:29:55,140
-[man 5 ] Can I get a pound?

1793
01:29:55,224 --> 01:29:56,433
-Can I get a pound?
-Give a pound.

1794
01:29:56,517 --> 01:29:58,811
[man 5] Your dad's a legend.
Do you know that?

1795
01:30:13,033 --> 01:30:14,660
[Saquon] It's February 6th.

1796
01:30:14,743 --> 01:30:18,997
Couple days before the big game,
the Super Bowl.

1797
01:30:19,081 --> 01:30:21,708
I'm in a great spot, mentally.

1798
01:30:21,792 --> 01:30:23,752
Physically, with my body, um...

1799
01:30:23,836 --> 01:30:26,964
You know, going for however many weeks,
20-some weeks.

1800
01:30:27,047 --> 01:30:30,717
Um, just, kinda, just taking it all in.

1801
01:30:30,801 --> 01:30:32,803
Just getting ready for the big game.

1802
01:30:32,886 --> 01:30:36,431
All right, guys. Guys
that are talking, talk. You got it.

1803
01:30:36,515 --> 01:30:40,060
Um, I wanna start by saying thank you
to everyone in this room.

1804
01:30:40,811 --> 01:30:42,813
Um...

1805
01:30:42,896 --> 01:30:46,233
And I just wanna thank you guys
for welcoming me in,

1806
01:30:46,316 --> 01:30:49,486
and showing so much love

01:38:40,957 --> 01:38:44,669
[commentator] And 2,000 for the season
for Saquon Barkley.

1974
01:38:44,753 --> 01:38:46,546
[Saquon] Offensive Player of the Year.

1975
01:38:46,630 --> 01:38:50,216
[commentator] What a night.
What a season. What a player.

1976
01:38:50,300 --> 01:38:51,509
[Saquon] Super Bowl winner.

1977
01:38:51,593 --> 01:38:56,514
Hey, the best year
in the history of skill position players.

1978
01:38:56,598 --> 01:38:59,309
Football can go
a long fucking time, Saquon.

1979
01:38:59,392 --> 01:39:00,935
-Long time.
-Come on.

1980
01:39:01,019 --> 01:39:02,771
Will we accomplish
what we wanna accomplish?

1981
01:39:06,191 --> 01:39:07,233
You party.

1982
01:39:07,317 --> 01:39:10,403
[music rises]

1983
01:39:13,657 --> 01:39:15,617
You have that parade

1984
01:39:15,700 --> 01:39:20,038
and then you're right back in OTAs
and the mission starts all over again.

1985
01:39:22,791 --> 01:39:25,418
People try to make it about the Giants

1986
01:39:25,502 --> 01:39:27,879
and me getting tagged
and them letting me walk,

1987
01:39:27,962 --> 01:39:29,172
that's not it.

1988
01:39:29,255 --> 01:39:31,758
It's the growth of a professional athlete

1989
01:39:31,841 --> 01:39:33,468
and how you go through ups and downs.

1990
01:39:33,551 --> 01:39:37,681
And right now, I'm in like, an up
'cause everything is going the right way.

1991
01:39:37,764 --> 01:39:39,224
I'm gonna jump over you right now?

1992
01:39:39,307 --> 01:39:41,518
[director] Three, two, one, go!

1993
01:39:45,605 --> 01:39:48,733
[Saquon] You get to see the journey
it took to get to this point.

1994
01:39:48,817 --> 01:39:52,696
When things are going wrong,
don't question God.

1995
01:39:52,779 --> 01:39:55,990
Because no time is better than God's time.

1996
01:39:59,411 --> 01:40:02,414
No matter how many times
things don't go your way,

1997
01:40:02,497 --> 01:40:04,165
how much belief do you have?

1998
01:40:04,249 --> 01:40:06,793
-[man 6] There it is, right?
-It don't get much better than that.

1999
01:40:09,879 --> 01:40:12,340
I think that's all
coming full circle right now.
