Former NFL player Anthony "Spice" Adams who is often called by his
peers and followers "The funniest guy I know" joins Ryan, Channing and
Fred for a colorful conversation covering everything from football to
family to finding a second act with a new career. We often hear people
say how various forms of comedy are often ways for individuals to hide
insecurities or make up for areas they try to keep hidden from the
public and then there are those unique humans who just have a special
glow and ability to lighten any situation they find themselves
in...Spice Adams is that guy.
Sharing with Ryan, Fred and Channing, Spice opens up on how having his
dad go to prison when he was 4 yrs old affected his childhood and
created a tight bond with his mother who encouraged him to always be
himself and never give in to those who made him feel less than. His
love for football started a young age and it gave Spice purpose and
the meaning of what it was to really love something and uphold
commitments. From his youth teams to playing at Penn State to getting
drafted in the league to playing eight years in San Fran and Chicago
as he was known as locker room guy and the one everyone could count on
to keep the team's spirits up or find a way to brighten someone's day.
Spice took this gift and turned it into a 2nd career, filming his
stories and everyday life which has now become a viral social movement
and a lifestyle.
With an abundance of gratitude for his family, life and lessons he
learned growing up, he talks how he wouldn't trade it for anything,
even the hard times of not having his dad around growing up but today
is able to say how proud he is of his father who was able to start
over and create a life for himself when he was released at prison
after 2 decades and was able to even make it to watch him play
football with Chicago.
Known as a Mama's boy by his friends and former teammates, Spice talks
about his rock in life and shares the story of how he met his wife
early on in college and how forming a strong friendship was the
foundation of a lasting marriage and the keys to what has made them
work through it all. Focused on being an amazing dad and always
present, Spice prides himself in being the best father he can always
showing up for everything, big and small, so his children never know
what it's like to not have him apart of their life as he had to
experience for so many years as his dad was locked up.
