Kay Adams Surprised by Matt Ryan's Candid Comments

Former NFL quarterback Matt Ryan made an unexpected splash during his appearance on Kay Adams' "Up & Adams" show, dropping an F-bomb while discussing a cherished pregame ritual. The 2016 NFL MVP, who retired in April, revealed that his wife, Sarah, would send him a motivational text before every game for 15 years. The message, which read, “Do your best, f–k the rest,” became a significant part of his game-day routine. Ryan explained that receiving the text from Sarah helped him transition into game mode, providing a sense of comfort and connection. “It kind of just brought you down,” he said, emphasizing the importance of hearing from his wife before stepping onto the field. He noted that regardless of the game's outcome, knowing Sarah was supportive made everything feel right when he returned home. The former quarterback also shared how he would check on his family’s seating arrangements during pregame, ensuring they were settled before focusing entirely on the game. Adams, visibly amused by Ryan's candidness, remarked on the surprise of hearing the F-bomb during the show, jokingly asking if anyone had predicted it. Ryan's heartfelt reflection on his wife's support highlights the personal side of professional sports, showcasing how family plays a crucial role in an athlete's mental preparation and emotional well-being.
