Let's say what -- the people here so resilient and what -- comes to putting on an event.

And and in nature people take -- take care of -- -- someone gets on the city knows how to do it that's why -- -- intensive.

Bull's eye nose you've you've been unbelievable on the field but I think you won over the city for -- -- -- off the field.

I mean the way he said I'm gonna -- then I'm gonna help everybody out I'm gonna be seeing you gonna be able to see me touch me out there whose decision was that.

You know my wife and I sat down during that kind of free agency process and there was you know between -- in Miami it was like.

And we felt was calling to come -- -- it's not just to be part of the resurgence of the football team the organization post-Katrina but.

To be a part of the the rebirth of this city and really -- -- -- -- was you know -- that we just -- your partner and we've been blessed with so much and -- we have this.

Great opportunity but so many people are needed we really have the chance -- a lot of lives -- Let us that we just we feel like we've been blessed so much we just -- -- to -- -- it's been.

Given us a -- a lot of -- controversy started to -- while the sign you -- the problems with everything else everybody knows.

But you actually know the 49ers pretty well I believe you guys played the 49ers have to -- -- -- predict became the starting quarterback.

They went out to be 23521.

What about this guy with only nine games are you ready for the Super Bowl after nine games.

Well I'm sure people -- is said is he ready to start on Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears in the super stardom he can't complex -- -- and -- is he ready to go on the road then and then win a big game in the playoffs and he's done that so.

Seems like anytime somebody raises a question about Colin cabinet -- answers the -- and this and they're great team are well coached football team.

They did they really have so much talent on both sides of the ball and they.

I think what I respect most to his you know they got so close last year I was losing in overtime AFC champs of game and at times it can be hard to your comeback could something like that and then not only did they come back -- -- -- are planned for a world championship.

Now I want also talk to you about where -- caught up to last year.

Xbox most fascinated -- players while playing with themselves because on the field because you're depicted in the an Xbox what does that what do you guys do that a lot of your down time -- the Chevy family -- -- a lot of doing that.

A lot of guys play Xbox but I I'd say -- -- them good news thing is that Kinect for Xbox three should your data to say that -- And and that's an answer that's really what's so great about this interactive gaming out it's not just you know to sit on the couch working the -- you know hits.

You actually out you're running you're.

-- -- You know -- essential for your dancing made at the Nike plus can that -- got all the sports -- look -- more about -- -- benefit but does a great way to stay in shape and obviously for for kids especially in the wintertime when it's cold outside it's getting dark earlier maybe you can't go outside to play it through it stay inside of your sixty minutes of exercise a day that's what to play sixty campaign really.

Your book I understand you can relate to Alex Smith you know it's like to please daughter be bench and watch Flutie play for awhile and then.

He built rivers distracting you think -- I'm gonna lose a job again can you really relate to Alex Smith who started brought him.

It's overtime last year and very close to Super Bowl -- now have to watch from the sideline.

I'd say this though.

-- I have been aside -- -- did enough things to lose my job Alex Smith never did anything to lose his job.

Head injury he he he only did was play well you have -- he's got he's got a concussion and that opened up the opportunity for colleague -- can.

You know obviously that was controversial at the time you know which -- do you go with -- you've got kind of the young talented -- this is only get better with -- and you've got.

You know this this veteran got Alex Smith -- NFC championship game here before but.

Fact is they got two great quarterbacks.

They're playing for.

For all right now -- you can't really argue the decision but I think Alex Smith is a tremendous quarterback brings tremendous competitor a tough guy that.

-- -- -- somewhere and truly deserves an opportunism it is no doubt in my in my when you're done for five years you go right to the clothes put the ear piece in -- be doing this to -- thanks so much for coming back congratulations on -- -- contract.
