After Patrick Dangerfield romped to victory in this years Brownlow Medal count, ESPN columnist Josh Jenkins thought it would be a good idea to catch up with his good friend and former teammate.Here is the transcript of their conversation.JJ: Well, what a season that was.Danger: To be honest, the preliminary final loss has left a really sour taste in my mouth but yes, my first season as a Geelong player has been sensational on and off the field. I knew heading home would have been a positive move for myself and my wife, Mardi. The Brownlow Medal was amazing and it was great to share it with my friends and family as well as my teammates, and the Adelaide people who were in the room.JJ: Work-life balance was a point that pricked my ears during your Brownlow speech. What exactly do you love about the way Geelong conducts their playing and training schedule?Danger: We get opportunities to live lives away from footy. I enjoy surfing and spending time at my home in Moggs Creek. I also like doing some media as well as renovating my home. Scotty [Chris Scott] and the club allow us time to breathe away from footy. We get into the club, do what needs to be done then we head home to relax and lead a semi-regular life.JJ: What was the overriding emotion as soon as the siren sounded to end the preliminary final? It seemed at stages this year that you boys were definitely going to make the grand final.Danger: By no means did we get ahead of ourselves but we also had a strong confidence of making the big one. Our beginning to that game was bitterly, bitterly disappointing and we could never get back into the game. It was a carbon copy of your match up in Sydney. To bow out that way is a tough pill to swallow.JJ: Have you yet had a chance to reflect on just how good your individual season was?Danger: Truthfully, the season has been incredibly busy and then since the preliminary final loss, the Brownlow and grand final week festivities, I have not had time to draw breath. At some stage I will grab a cup of tea with dad and sit on the balcony, overlooking the ocean and reflect on everything that has occurred. Hopefully you will be there to join us big fella.JJ: You know I dont drink tea Patrick.JJ: They reckon your mum Jeanette lit up the after-Brownlow party. Now your family are not known for their consumption of alcohol, so how was the familys performance at Club 23?Danger: Yes, mum was wearing the medal all night and John Boy even had a drink or three. It was an awesome night.JJ: How can you improve your own game?Danger: I want to keep making the game easier for my teammates and after a season at the club, I feel I can take my leadership to a new level. We can always get better at what we do.JJ: Unless youve changed since club-hopping, you never train and never lift weights but youve been remarkably durable. Whats your secret?Danger: Are you interviewing yourself here Josh? You do less weights than me! Luck plays a part in an athletes health but I prepare as best I can, I know what works for me and I stick to it no matter what. An AFL training regime is extreme - once a player has completed a few summers and played enough games, I think it is important to have a balance between flogging yourself and understanding what you need to do to perform at the level.JJ: Time for some quick ones. What are your flaws in life?Danger: Yea, yeah, I fluff the pillows...JJ: Explain please.Danger: Well, I like to have my house looking nice so anytime someone sits on the couch then leaves, the pillows must be fluffed and presented nicely for the next person but Id hardly call that a flaw. Other than that, I am ghastly white and cant tan and I annoy you very much when I drink my weak skinny lattes with caramelised sugar.JJ: You never drink but when you do, you go a million miles per hour and wake up cherry ripe. How on earth do you do that?Danger: Simple, I just get up, shower and get on with it. Hangovers are a myth.JJ: I know you love your Benjamins - so how much have you pocketed this grand final week?Danger: I do all my appearances for the love of the game! No, Josh, you know we all get well remunerated for our services at this time of year but I would much rather be at home preparing to play.JJ: So, youre making all this cash this week yet Tommy Lynch and I shouted dinner in Melbourne on Wednesday night?Danger: During my time in Adelaide, between you and Tom, I reckon you and him owe me 10 grand in breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Maybe 20k in Toms case.JJ: Who would you prefer won next years Charlie - Lynchy or me ? Apart from yourself of course.Danger: You barely get a vote between you so theres no point dealing in hypotheticals. (Laughing uncontrollably)JJ: You still wearing blazers and scarves to training?Danger: You know I like to look good Josh. I do my best.JJ: Truly - youre a once-in-a-generation player but an ever better person, congratulations on your season and your move home. Its been a mammoth success. I just hope the Cats know the best player in the land just landed in their lap.Danger: Always a pleasure Gronk.?? Pharrell Williams Hu NMD Sale .

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Roberto Aguayos shaky rookie season got a big lift Monday night.The rookie made up for missing two earlier field goals by converting a 38-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the Carolina Panthers 17-14 on Monday night.Aguayo, the most accurate kicker in NCAA history, had clanked a 33-yard field goal attempt off the right upright and missed wide left from 46 yards that would have given the Bucs the lead with 3:38 left in the game. He was just 3 of 7 on the season before the winning kick.Obviously you get a little angry when you miss them, Agauyo said. You cant dwell on it or you won be ready for the next one.When asked how comfortable he was with the field position on the final kick, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter replied, I wasnt comfortable. We couldnt get close enough.Jameis Winston was 18 of 30 for 219 yards and threw a TD pass to Mike Evans . He also led a 66-yard drive to get the Buccaneers (2-3) into field goal range. A costly 15-yard facemask penalty on Kony Ealy hurt the Panthers along the way.Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 101 yards on 30 carries in place of the injured Doug Martin.The Panthers turned the ball over four times, three of those by Derek Anderson, who was filling in for the concussed Cam Newton.We moved the ball when we wanted to and had a lot of good things happen, but we had bad plays at the wrong times, Anderson said.The most costly turnover came late in the fourth quarter with the game tied at 14 and the Panthers having a first-and-goal at the Tampa Bay 2. Anderson inexplicably threw into double coverage in the right corner of the end zone and was intercepted by Brent Grimes.If I had it back I would have thrown it away, Anderson said. That was a difference maker.The Panthers ruined a memorable night from Greg Olsen, who had a career-high 181 yards receiving on nine catches. Cameron Artis-Payne ran for two touchdowns for the Panthers.Carolina is now 1-4 after reaching the Supper Bowl last season.ddddddddddddhe Panthers, who have won three straight NFC South titles, are now three full games behind the Atlanta Falcons.Weve got a laundry list of things that didnt go our way, Olsen said. The reality is, in this league, you make your own luck. You make your own fate. You cant sit around and hope the ball bounced your way. Right now, its not, but thats just the nature of this league. It goes in flows. Theres times where it seems like everything you do is right, the ball bounces your way, but thats not the case right now for us. Weve got to make our own luck, because nobodys feeling sorry for us. Thats just the reality right now.TURNOVER PRONE: The Panthers turned the ball over just 19 times last season en route to the Super Bowl. This year they already have 14 turnovers in the first five games.RIVERBOAT RON: With his team trailing 6-0, Panthers coach Ron Rivera lived up to his Riverboat Ron moniker when he went for it on fourth-and-goal from the Bucs 1-yard line. Artis-Payne dove into the end zone to give Carolina its first lead of the game.BUCS UP FRONT: The Bucs were without starters -- Gerald McCoy (calf) and Clinton McDonald (hamstring) and defensive end Robert Ayers (ankle) -- out with injuries.NO LEAGUE MVP: Newton was not on the sideline after sustaining a concussion last week against the Falcons. The Panthers visit the Saints next week before getting a bye. Its unclear if the reigning league MVP will be ready to go.OLSEN MOVES UP: Olsen moved past Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow for eight all-time in yards receiving among NFL tight ends.BY THE NUMBERS: The Bucs ran 20 plays to Carolinas three in the first quarter. Anderson didnt attempt a pass in the opening quarter as the Bucs controlled the ball for more than 13 minutes.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
