Why did Bennett’s GMA interview go viral?

The internet got a good chuckle when Bennett appeared to show up to a Good Morning America interview drunk or hungover following his team’s big win.

In an interview, Michael Strahan asks: “Have you had a chance to get any sleep?”

Bennett responds: “You know, a few hours, not many, been wandering about, no, not many.”

When asked by Robin Roberts what he learned about himself during his football journey he said: “I think I always had a pretty constant view about myself.

“I think I learned that life’s hard. You gotta work for what you want. You gotta bet on yourself just like all you guys, just like Michael [Strahan] and everybody here, everybody who’s ever been successful. 

“You gotta bet on yourself. And other people might put in some change on the odds, but that never really matters. You gotta work hard, love the people around you—they gotta love you. And bet on yourself.”
