He admires what eric thames went through to get back in the big leagues. 15 06 45 its inspiring. You always respect and admire someone whos gone through a journey like this and ended up in a ended up on a day like this. 15 06 54 15 07 00 someone like him is going to feel like he still has more to do, and that his journeys not finished; so i think that sets him up to have success here. 15 07 10 translation, eric thames is like fellow california native aaron rodgers. Hell play with a chip on his shoulder. 15 24 53 yea i do have a chip, and it does fuel you. I have people to prove wrong and im just going to go all out. 15 25 11 eric thames is easy to the wee hours of the morning to catch an early flight in order to see the agents mom compete in a body building contest.
