Transcript

Wait. Hey, Dan. You're coming out of high school. Would you rather take a million dollars to be a backup tight end at Notre Dame or be the starter at Iowa, best for only 500 k? I'm gonna go take a million dollars to be the backup at Notre Dame. Because if I'm the backup tight end of Notre Dame, I'm still going to the NFL. I'm a baller. I'm gonna get an opportunity. I'm gonna wait my turn. I do love the Iowa situation, but they don't score any points. Like, Kirk Ferentz and the offense, like, they don't score. They're known not to score. Send me to Notre Dame. I'm gonna get an opportunity to ball out, and I'm gonna be in front of the or one of the best fan bases in the country.
