**Joe Haden** (0:00)
That's the one thing, the league, they be tight with that, with the uniformed police, because look, I ain't gonna lie, sometimes dudes be out there with no socks on, and it's like college, you have your caps out, Frank Gore, he was the most I've ever seen. Frank Gore was out there with drop socks on.
**James Harrison** (0:18)
He was like the whole thing down to the ankle. I know cats that cut the whole foot out. And take the bottom to the ankle, and had no sock on their foot.
**Joe Haden** (0:31)
See, that's when Deebo, I had them ended up, when I started getting fined for having my knee exposed, I had to get the stocking, you know what I'm saying, stitched to the bottom of my pants.
**James Harrison** (0:43)
How much was they fining you for exposing your knee, Joe?
**Joe Haden** (0:46)
Man, it was probably like 2,500, 2,500, 2,500 to 5,000.
**James Harrison** (0:51)
That was the regular fine, 2,500, 5,000.
**Joe Haden** (0:54)
5,000, 75, 10, the thing was crazy.
**James Harrison** (0:58)
I was supposed to be 5, man.
**Joe Haden** (1:00)
The thing that was crazy in Cleveland, Deebo, I would get fined for wearing all white cleats because we was a black cleat team. I was like, this is the coolest thing I've ever heard. I can't wear all white cleats. They say, no, we're all black team. I said, this makes no sense. We have on a white jersey. You're going to make me wear black cleats or you're going to fine me?
I'm not even trying to wear colors. That part, I'm like, all right, come on, league. Like, all white or all black, you can't knock off all white or all black cleats.
**James Harrison** (1:27)
Why can't you?
**Joe Haden** (1:28)
All white cleats. But they did, so they did do it.
**James Harrison** (1:31)
I mean, you got to have majority of it to be black or majority of it to be white. Oh my God. You know how it go?
**Joe Haden** (1:37)
Yeah.
**James Harrison** (1:37)
You work for me.
**Joe Haden** (1:39)
You're going to wear what I want you to wear, this uniform, Joe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
**James Harrison** (1:44)
I ain't telling you, you got to wear thong underwear. I'm telling you, you got to win the uniform that I want you to wear in front of these people that represent my business.
**Joe Haden** (1:55)
No, no, for sure.
**James Harrison** (1:55)
Cause I'll trade you millions.
**Joe Haden** (1:57)
Uniform police is there for a reason because dude, it does, it does.
**James Harrison** (2:01)
That's who they should find these balls at.
**Joe Haden** (2:02)
It does look, it does look nice with the stripes on the socks. Got to make sure you had the stripes.
**James Harrison** (2:07)
Is it worth 100,000 a game to you? Is it worth 200,000 a game?
**Joe Haden** (2:11)
No, sir. No, no, not at all. Not at all.
**James Harrison** (2:13)
Hey, you want to, and then all these fines.
**Joe Haden** (2:16)
Just the thing, just the things about this, though.
**James Harrison** (2:17)
The charities or whatever it is, they get the money away to whoever. You can't even say where your money go no more. You don't know where it go.
**Joe Haden** (2:23)
This is what I'm saying.
There's fines where knees exposed for defensive backs. There's no such thing as a cornerback or a wide receiver that ever cover their knees. If you do, that shows you obviously don't know how to play. You know your knee pad is never cover your knee.
**James Harrison** (2:45)
What?
**Joe Haden** (2:46)
Your knee pad is never cover your knee because you got to have full bendability. And all my ballers that touch the rock.
**James Harrison** (2:52)
Joe, Joe.
**Joe Haden** (2:53)
We know. You can't have your knee pad covered.
**James Harrison** (2:55)
That is that.
**Joe Haden** (2:57)
Literally, that's literally slowing you down.
**James Harrison** (2:58)
You don't wear knee pads, Joe.
**Joe Haden** (3:00)
I don't know why they're knee pads for DBs. There's knee pads for linemen or running backs.
**James Harrison** (3:04)
You don't wear knee pads.
**Joe Haden** (3:05)
Linemen or running backs. DBs, I'm telling you this right now. We don't need thigh pads. We don't need hip pads. We don't need knee pads. That's just for running backs. That's for linemen.
And that's for D linemen. They would probably need it. But I know one thing. I'm going to speak for my DBs. We don't need no pads in our pants.
That's for sure.
**James Harrison** (3:26)
Joe, I called myself going without pads in my pants because I'm looking at the OGs. I'm looking at PZs all the time. Yes, I don't need none. Listen, one game, I did that for one game. You know why? Why?
