Chad: Favorite sport to play other than football?

Mike Evans: Basketball

Eric Ebron: Basketball

Chad's Follow Up: Basketball was always my favorite sport to play. Believe it or not this guy had some skills on the basketball court too and can still bring them out when needed. I know Mike and Eric have some high level basketball experience and it would be a great matchup to see them play one on one.

Danny: Favorite healthy food?

Mike Evans: Celery and ranch

Eric Ebron: None

Danny's Follow Up: Eric's answer was confusing because I thought you were supposed to eat healthy foods to be ready for the game. He probably eats healthy but he might not like those foods. I've never had celery and ranch so I don't know how good they are.

Chad: What was your favorite sports team growing up?

Mike Evans: Miami Heat

Chad's Follow Up: In this case, you love who you love. You definitely can't go wrong with the Heat and the Celtics are obviously winners with the most NBA championships all time. The Giants come in with four Super Bowls too.

Danny: What was your favorite school subject?

Mike Evans: Math

Eric Ebron: Lunch

Danny's Follow Up: Math, recess and lunch are all tied for me and PE because they are all goat. Recess, lunch, and PE give you a break from the other subjects and they are really fun.

Danny and I took a visit to the @orangebowl 🍊 Athlete Lounge and we got to ask questions to @mikeevans and @ericebron ! We had 60 seconds and we took advantage of every one 😀 Thanks to Mike and Eric for the interaction and for answering our rapid fire questions. We love to hear their answers and I know Danny is going to be drinking even more water now that Mike and Eric mentioned it's the best. Thanks guys! We wish them both good luck in the playoffs as they both chase their first Super Bowl title. #vincentsgo3on3 Thank you @fangageinc and Capital One Orange Bowl for the sweet opportunity!

Danny: What is your favorite Monday Night Football experience?

Ray Lewis: Ooh, that's a really good one. He's not going to like me for telling this story but we played the Denver Broncos on Monday night. They (Broncos) were kicking a long field goal and we practiced this play all the time Danny to where if the field goal is too short, you catch it and the DB or somebody fast runs with it. On the other side it's just offensive lineman, kickers, and punters. Chris McCallister got the ball and I started running back towards him and I'm looking back at him saying "Come out of the end zone." A guy by the name of Keith Burns...he was not looking. This is back when you could put that Bobby Boucher on him. When I hit Keith Burns it was probably one of the best hits that I had in my career. That was on Monday night and I'll never forget that it played for nearly a month straight. That was my favorite Monday night memory for sure!

NOTE: We found this play and you can check it out on YouTube HERE and Ray's block takes place around the 1:12 mark.

Danny's Follow Up: That was a really big hit. That looked like it would have hurt Keith Burns really bad but he did get up quick. That touchdown play by the Ravens was really cool.

Danny has loved the opportunity to go LIVE with his football heroes even during quarantine. Thanks to Emmitt Smith and his Notable Live platform, Danny has talked to the NFL's all-time leading rusher 4 times from our living room this season and had the chance to go 1 on 1 with Ray Lewis and show him part of his pregame dance. That moment was priceless!

Below is a look below with Danny and Emmitt Smith talking about how Emmitt got his famous number 22. Check out the awesome interaction between these two earlier this season!
