We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he

2:46
It has been an absolutely crazy, crazy couple of days and we will
2:51
get into it on our first couple of stories.
2:53
But I will say this, it was absolutely heated all day here
3:00
in Long Island, New York. As a matter of fact, Brittany
3:02
told me she was at the beach and she couldn't even lay in the
3:05
sun. It was that hot.
3:07
She couldn't even go. She was hanging out at the bar
3:09
not drinking. Why would you go to a beach if
3:12
you're not going to lay in the sand?
3:13
That that's what I don't understand.
3:15
I, I said that to her, I'm not going in the water and I'm not
3:19
laying on sand because I hate the dirt.
3:21
So you know, I'm not going to be at the beach.
3:23
But she said that I would say 85% of the people that were
3:27
there were hanging at the bar. So why are you going to the
3:31
beach? I don't get it.
3:32
I don't get it. But it was absolutely hot.
3:34
I knew it at 7:30 AM when the sun was paling on my shoulders
3:40
that it was going to be a hot 1. Today.
3:41
It's it was like 9293. It felt like it was 110.
3:46
That's how hot it was. It was disgusting.
3:48
It's still disgusting outside. It feels like I'm in a sauna.
3:51
If you ever been to a steam room and you wait until it really
3:54
just just makes you sweat from head to toe, That's what it
3:58
feels like when you walk outside.
3:59
But anyways, I, I don't want to get into this like story and I
4:03
was at the gym and by the way, going and doing any kind of
4:07
cardio on the treadmills or the ellipticals.
4:11
I, I wouldn't even do that because no matter how much the
4:14
air conditioning is blasting, you're still going to sweat your
4:17
butt off. So I absolutely couldn't stand
4:20
the 30 minutes of cardio. And by the way's job, I've been
4:22
doing this for the last, I would say 2 weeks, every single day
4:26
I'm doing 30 minutes of cardio. So I'm proud of myself.
4:29
And by the way, I went, I dropped from 2:25 today.
4:33
I am 209 lbs. So I get to give myself a, a
4:37
Golf Club. This is good for me.
4:39
I, I'm, I'm healthy, my A1C was high.
4:42
I'm staying away from sugar drinks.
4:44
I'm staying away from all the different sweets.
4:47
And I, I feel good about myself. I feel clean.
4:50
How are you, Java? Do you feel clean?
4:51
Are you clean in many different ways?
4:53
Are you cleaning your pants? I got to ask you your future
4:56
wife. I mean, I don't know, but I
4:58
don't want to get too deep into that.
4:59
We have analytics a little bit later in the show.
5:01
No, we, yeah, just took a shower, feel great.
5:05
Just looped up the beard, rolled it up.
5:07
Got it, all good. What kind of loop do you use for
5:09
your beard? I do, I'm literally still going
5:13
through old beard companies that they sent me product from.
5:18
I literally do they go bed and does.
5:20
Does beard products? Every time I don't, I there's
5:22
like some of them are still sealed.
5:24
Like they sent so many of them like still even after I had my
5:27
beard. And so yeah.
5:29
So I'm just, I'm just going through whatever I got in there.
5:32
So I get worried. I learned I get worried.
5:34
Yeah. No, you got to use, you got to
5:36
use a different shampoo and conditioner for your beard other
5:40
and I don't have any hair, so I don't really have to worry.
5:42
About I don't use any shampoo for my beard and that's why I
5:45
don't grow it that much. It's it's like any more than
5:47
Pringley. I absolutely shave it.
5:49
I don't like the way it looks when it fall.
5:51
You know it comes, you know, it starts to grow and it looks like
5:54
Jesus Christ over here, Speedy. I mean, it's absolutely horrible
5:58
when it Speedy has no Gray hair. He's 30 years old.
6:01
I mean, he obviously doesn't stress because the guy doesn't
6:04
have one Gray hair in his beard. If you look at his beard,
6:07
there's not one Gray hair in his hair or his beard.
6:10
It makes no sense. Java.
6:11
This actually comes from genetics of my father actually
6:14
had a little Gray spot on his head when he was a teenager.
6:17
It doesn't make any sense. I, I, I have like Pringles in my
6:22
beard. I don't have much in my hair and
6:24
I'm starting to get it in my eyebrows.
6:26
So I, I don't like that. So I'm trying to tweeze it and
6:29
clean it off. I want to look freshly.
6:32
I don't know if I have any in my hair.
6:33
I have definitely have it in my beard but like if I trim my like
6:36
sideburn and trim this up, it's it's not.
6:38
As I'm saying, I trim it down so you really can't notice the Gray
6:41
in my beard. And I, I kind of look sexy with
6:44
a, you know, a short beard. I, I can't put any.
6:48
Yes, I think I'm sexy. What's the longest you've ever
6:50
grown it? The longest I've ever grown it
6:54
probably speedies. Like what the way speedies looks
6:57
right now, I grew it like that probably in my 20s.
7:00
I was in Germany and I'll tell you guys a quick story.
7:02
I was in Germany and for like 3-4 weeks I was like, you know
7:06
what, I'm going absolute bum look and I grew my hair out
7:11
calling me a bum. No, no, no, I went bum look.
7:14
I didn't even shave. I didn't even clean it.
7:17
I just was growing out and I, I looked like a bum, but I wore, I
7:22
wore a backwards hat, which I don't usually do unless I'm
7:26
playing sports. You will never see me really
7:28
wear a backwards hat. So I, I like to wear it, you
7:31
know, obviously front words and, and, and I like, I like that
7:34
kind of style. But nevertheless, when I do go
7:37
out and I, I try to, you know, show my, my sexiness to the
7:43
women or my girlfriend because I don't want to get myself into
7:46
trouble tonight. I like to keep it fresh and, and
7:50
when it's fresh and it's clean and by the way, I, I shave in
7:56
the shower, so I don't use any shaving cream or anything.
8:00
I use hot water. I let it like breed, breed.
8:04
I like to breathe my, my face. As everybody says, ice breed.
8:10
Who who uses breath? That just tells you, ladies and
8:12
gentlemen, I am. Do you have a?
8:13
Mirror. Do you have a mirror or you just
8:15
go raw? No, I go raw.
8:18
I go raw. Well I know you go raw shaving,
8:20
but do you have a mirror so you can see?
8:21
Not really. I just know my I know my face
8:24
and I know the lines. I follow the lines on my face
8:27
and I cut pretty straight. So I'm actually doing it for
8:31
such a long time. The first time I learned how to
8:34
shave, ladies and gentlemen, I went into my father's bathroom
8:37
and he had these BIC, you know, shavers.
8:40
And I was like, oh, this is cool.
8:41
I I like whiskers when I was like 16 years old and I was
8:45
like. Was that the was that the one
8:47
blade blade? Yeah, yeah, dude.
8:49
I, I ripped my face so bad I, I look like I was in like a
8:55
catfight with somebody and I never did that again.
8:59
And I actually, usually your father teaches you how to use a
9:03
razor. I had to learn the hard way.
9:05
That's how I learned how to use a razor.
9:07
So true story. The first time I absolutely use,
9:11
the first time I actually used a razor, I was in my father's
9:15
bathroom trying his BIC razor, the one bladed razor, which is
9:19
absolutely, absolutely horrible. Anyways, I I want to get off
9:23
topic. We got a lot to get into.
9:24
At 9 O clock we'll be talking to Emmy award-winning sports
9:27
broadcaster Dave Benz. He's been on a show before.
9:31
He's the Timberwolves broadcaster, also San Francisco
9:34
Giants and the 49ers and recently founded ticket company
9:39
Ticks Skate. On Monday during our show, there
9:44
was a shooting at the NFL headquarters building in
9:47
Manhattan and the shooter killed four people in the lobby before
9:52
eventually taking his own life. The shooter was identified as
9:58
Shane Tamara, a 27 year old, a late Las Vegas casino worker,
10:03
actually security guard to break into the NFL league offices, but
10:08
took a wrong elevator or wrong floor in the building before
10:12
shooting himself. Tomorrow, tomorrow.
10:15
How do you pronounce tomorrow? Tomorrow that was shouting out
10:19
that he had mental illness, mental illness issues because of
10:24
CTE, wanting to send a message to the NFL league offices.
10:30
Tamara played high school football about a decade ago but
10:34
never played in the NFL, which he claimed he did.
10:37
Cops also found a three page note in his wallet suggesting A
10:42
grievance against the NFL over his CTE, and the note also
10:47
referenced former NFL player Terry Long, who committed
10:51
suicide in 2005 and also had CTE.
10:55
The note mentioned that Mister Shane Tamara wanted his brain to
11:00
be used as scientific research, and the medical examiner said a
11:07
full brain investigation will be a part of the autopsy in the
11:13
near future. Now I want to get into the CTE
11:17
story because the CTE story is to me been as big of a story for
11:22
the NFL over the last 20 years. But I want to get into this
11:25
story because it's just absolutely horrific.
11:29
And I know everybody or nobody's that's ever been to New York or
11:34
has been, has had a chance to go to Times Square or got a chance
11:37
to check out how beautiful New York City is.
11:40
This is a place that obviously people are together, people
11:44
support each other and so many ethnic groups you're talking
11:48
about from all different parts of the world, genres of people
11:52
from Haiti and obviously Israel and Germany and Australia.
11:58
People are from all different parts of the world.
12:00
They live over there, they raise their children over there.
12:05
When you hear a story like this, and obviously I don't know
12:08
anything about tomorrow and, and who he is or what type of person
12:12
he is with his family and how good of a football player he
12:15
was, I could care less. When you hear a story of a guy
12:19
traveling from Las Vegas as a security guard, by the way, who
12:23
had mental issues, mental illness issues, that's what the
12:26
story is. And how he got an automatic gun
12:30
makes no sense. How do you get a obviously an
12:33
opportunity to travel across the country with a gun.
12:37
Now you're going through tolls, tolls and and all different
12:42
places throughout. You're going honestly 3003
12:46
thousand miles from Vegas to New York and you think about how
12:52
many cops, how many people he was passing all the way to New
12:56
York and nobody, nobody discovered any honestly
13:02
automatic weapon. It it kind of scares you.
13:06
How would you? But how would you discover it
13:07
though? Unless you like, pulled him.
13:08
Over. Well, that's what I'm saying.
13:09
But think about it this way. You have tolls.
13:12
You're going from one state to another.
13:14
There's so many cops you're passing through, you're
13:17
stopping. I mean, this guy had mental
13:19
illness issues. I don't know if you're you're
13:22
going to see something that was obviously wrong with the guy.
13:25
This guy double parked in front of the building and walks out
13:28
with an automatic weapon when he hits New York City and goes to
13:32
the NFL headquarters and he's going out there to probably try
13:36
to kill Roger Goodell. I mean, Roger Goodell is the
13:39
leader. He's the commissioner of the
13:40
NFLI and, and honestly with, with what the NFL has been
13:44
dealing with over the last couple of years, obviously the
13:47
$100 million agreement to pay off players with the CTE and
13:53
issues with obviously medical issues that these these players
13:58
have gone through over the last couple of years and, and decades
14:01
and decades of football. I, I mean, honestly, you think
14:05
of the big picture here. You wonder how this guy traveled
14:08
from one place to another and nobody, nobody actually reached
14:11
out And, and, and again, he's got friends, he's got family.
14:15
They, the fact that he just went from one state to another the
14:19
way he did and nobody reached out and nobody knew that this
14:23
guy was obviously going after NFL officials.
14:27
I, I'd somebody had to know. Now, obviously they're going to
14:30
investigate this. They're over there in Vegas
14:33
right now talking to his family, his, his friends.
14:35
I, I, there's got to be more to the story.
14:38
And he obviously had somebody help them because there's no way
14:43
when, when you think about a guy that had mental issues, get an
14:46
automatic, automatic weapon like this and travel the way he did
14:50
and, and get all these different things to, to travel all the way
14:53
from from Vegas to New York, It kind of scares you.
14:56
It really does. But to get back to the story, he
14:59
pulls up double parks, walks into a building and kills a
15:02
defenseless cop defenseless, a guy that had no gun.
15:07
He was doing security over there in the building and he just shot
15:10
him dead. And he this is a guy, this a cop
15:13
that had two kids and his wife was 8 months pregnant and was
15:17
going to have his third kid. This guy was 202526 years old.
15:22
He's a kid. He's never going to get a chance
15:25
to see his children grow up. He's never going to get a chance
15:28
to watch his kids get married or see his grandchildren.
15:35
It it kind of makes you sick to your stomach when you when you
15:38
hear about stories like that. And I again, Shane, obviously
15:42
this guy tomorrow is, is, is a nut job, but he had mental
15:45
issues. Now, why isn't his family
15:49
obviously talking? I haven't heard anything from
15:51
his family over the last couple of days.
15:54
This happened on Monday. We're going into Thursday
15:56
tomorrow. We haven't heard anything from
15:58
his family. You know, you have all these
16:00
news stories, everybody trying to figure out what happened.
16:02
Why did this start now? The CTE situation we're going to
16:05
get into in just a second. If you think about the NFL and
16:10
all these CTE accusations that we've heard from different
16:14
players, guys we've had on the show, we've had a tremendous
16:17
amount of X players come on the show and say they have a grade
16:20
1C of CTE, grade two, grade 3. There's, there's all different
16:24
grades. And you think about the NFL and
16:27
why the NFL has not gone out of their way to try to help these
16:31
guys. Now, obviously the NFL has they
16:37
have their own therapist and you can go and talk to a therapist,
16:40
but CTE is not something that you can help.
16:43
If you have CTE, you have brain trauma because of concussion and
16:47
concussion issues. There's no way of fixing it.
16:50
We were over there at the Super Bowl.
16:52
We talked to doctors, top doctors that have worked with
16:56
the NFL, worked with other leagues, WWE worked with so many
17:01
different organizations about and and talked about concussions
17:04
and how bad they are. I mean, Sidney Crosby in in a
17:07
five year span had five concussions in the NHL and still
17:10
playing in the NHL. If you ask Sid how many
17:13
concussions he's had in a lifetime, it's got to be over
17:15
15. You're going to tell me he's not
17:18
going to have CT? Wayne Corbett?
17:20
Has anybody looked at Wayne Corbett over the last couple of
17:22
years, how bad he looks? This guy is what, in his mid
17:27
50s? He looks like he's 70 years old.
17:32
So many brain issues with some of these players and, and again,
17:37
the NFL doesn't want to protect they're players.
17:40
You have guys like the Bricoche Ferguson that was 2930 years
17:43
old, missed one game in his NFL career and retired at that age.
17:48
Calvin Johnson retired at 30 years old because of CTE issues.
17:52
Patrick Willis is another one. One of the best linebackers.
17:56
Could have been a Hall of Famer. Didn't play long enough.
17:59
I don't think he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame.
18:01
I don't think so. This guy was one of the best
18:03
linebackers, one of the best defensive lineman in all of the
18:06
NFL. Play for San Francisco.
18:10
Retired. There was another San Francisco
18:12
40. 9. One year.
18:13
One year he was one of the best young players in the league.
18:17
Retired after one year of playing NFL football.
18:21
Ravens had won two. I've played two years, Zach Orr,
18:23
and I think he's actually one of their coaches now.
18:25
Think about that and the NFL and Roger Goodell just Russia said
18:30
under the rug. Now anybody seen the movie
18:32
Concussions? Will Smith plays the doctor.
18:34
I, I don't remember his name. It's a pretty unique name, so
18:37
maybe you guys could figure it out.
18:38
But I the doctor was a guy that doctor Bennett Omalu, Omalu, Dr.
18:44
Bennett Omalu, who actually went out there, put his career on the
18:49
line, investigated CTE, actually named it CTE and went out there
18:56
in studying next NFL players, guys that have killed themselves
19:02
and and looked at the this situation, this disease, this
19:06
brain disease and try to reach out to the NFL to help them
19:11
study these brain issues. Aaron Hernandez So who some
19:15
doctor said say that was probably the worst brain they've
19:19
ever seen when it came to studying a brain.
19:23
Just think about that. Aaron Hernandez everybody
19:25
thought was vicious evil, and he probably was.
19:28
But I've heard, I've seen the Aaron Hernandez documentaries
19:31
that said that guy before he actually played college ball,
19:35
was actually a nice guy, was a good man.
19:38
Obviously his father was abusive and all that other stuff.
19:40
And we all know the background of Aaron Hernandez.
19:42
I'm not saying Aaron Hernandez was a good guy.
19:45
I'm not saying that. But what we've seen over and
19:48
over again in documentaries say that he really wasn't a bad dude
19:52
until he started getting all this brain trauma.
19:56
And then you look at the NFL and you, you see these stories.
19:59
This isn't the first time. And when this is not going to be
20:01
the last time, we're going to we're going to hear about a
20:04
shooting of an ex player. And this guy wasn't even an ex
20:07
NFL player even though in his in his little three page story or
20:13
his. His information that he gave, he
20:16
said that he played in the NFL now, he played high school ball.
20:18
There is some truth to that. And maybe he did have CTE.
20:22
And if they do study that he had CTE, well, maybe this story will
20:25
grow legs, but really not really because the NFL had nothing to
20:30
do with his head trauma problem now.
20:32
But the NFL. We think about these stories and
20:35
Roger Goodell, Roger Goodell has not been really thorough and
20:40
really stood high for this situation.
20:43
He is kind of taking a step back and try to brush it onto the rug
20:46
and make it seem like, oh, we're going to fix it.
20:48
We're going to we're going to fix some of the rules.
20:50
We're going to fix the kickoffs and the punt returns.
20:53
And they think that that's going to fix this concussion problem
20:56
that they've had for many, many years now.
20:59
You can't change football and everybody doesn't want to see a
21:01
flag football game because the game is an aggressive game.
21:05
That's what you love about the sport.
21:08
And, and a lot of parents are keeping their kids away from
21:10
football. As a matter of fact, if you look
21:12
at the numbers, more kids now are playing baseball and
21:16
basketball than they are playing football.
21:19
And one of the main reasons why is because of CTE, because of
21:23
the concussion protocol that they're dealing with right now.
21:26
The NFL is not protecting these players.
21:30
It is a big, huge problem. And again, you're going to hear
21:35
stories like this moving forward and you're going to hear it from
21:37
NFL players. NFL players have come out on
21:40
this show and said that the league is not protecting their
21:42
players. They're not looking out for
21:44
their players. Calvin Johnson and I, another
21:47
guy that has been a spokesman for CTE and concussion protocol
21:52
for the NFL has Cam out and said that the NFL over the years have
21:56
gotten better but still not moving forward the way players
21:59
and X players want them to, to protect now the future feature
22:04
of youth and NFL football. It is a big problem guys.
22:09
And again, you can't change the game because you love it the way
22:13
it is. We're young guys or a lot of
22:15
these young guys that are watching the game, they don't
22:17
know anything about it. Jabba was a an ex baseball
22:20
player. He knows a little bit about
22:21
concussions, but baseball, you're not going to get
22:24
concussions like you're playing football or hockey where you get
22:26
a slam to to a board that is not moving.
22:30
That's. True, that's true too, because
22:32
you're getting run into by guys that are running from third base
22:36
to home and they're still. Doing foul balls straight to
22:39
your. Mouth foul balls.
22:40
Yep. And how about umpires getting
22:42
concussion problems? Yeah, but it's a problem to me
22:46
because the NFL knows and Goodell knows there should be
22:49
more money invested into the research.
22:52
And there are guys right now that have walked away from the
22:55
game and they're trying to obviously get help in those
22:58
situations. And everybody to keep saying,
23:00
well, there is help, there is therapy.
23:01
We've had guys, Powell, Blood Powell, who's come on the show
23:05
and told us that he's one of those guys that are talking to
23:09
players and trying to help players out.
23:11
If they need help, they they're leading them to these therapists
23:14
to help them, speak to them and try to figure out how they can
23:17
get more help. That's not going to help the
23:20
situation for what has happened to them over the last 10 to 20
23:23
years. And there's there's no there's
23:26
no way of saying it. There's no drug that can help
23:29
you. Obviously they're studying and
23:31
they're trying to find ways that they can help it.
23:33
Drainage there are there I talked to a couple of doctors
23:36
where people Plex players are trying to drain certain parts of
23:40
their brain to loosen up some of the blood from those areas.
23:45
I've seen that Joe Namath is another guy that's been working
23:49
with concussion protocol and saw so also Curtis Martin investing
23:53
money and time into trying to help concussion protocol for
23:57
their organizations. Joe Namath has created with with
24:01
many different ex athletes. I, I forget what it is, you, you
24:05
go into this like, I, I don't know what it's called, but you
24:09
go into this like. It's like a lab, I think, right?
24:11
Yeah, but it's not a lab. It's.
24:12
Like a bubble. It's like a bubble.
24:14
You know when you go to a tanning salon, you go into one
24:16
of those like beds. It's like a bed that you go into
24:19
and you sit into the bed for hours on end and you got to do
24:22
it numerous amount of times and it helps certain concussion
24:26
protocol, certain concussion issues that ex players, but it's
24:30
very expensive. So they're promoting something
24:33
that is unaffordable for some of these players and a lot of these
24:37
players when they walk away from the sport, they don't have
24:39
benefits. They don't have it.
24:41
The NFL takes it away after a certain amount of time.
24:43
So now they're sitting there and they're saying, well, how can I
24:46
get help? How could I should I go deep and
24:48
dig deep into into my pockets and everybody's going to say,
24:51
well, they've made millions and millions of dollars, what are
24:53
they complaining about? But when you're supporting a
24:55
family and you're taking care of 3/4 kids and your wife obviously
25:00
is got to get a job or you got to get a job where it's going to
25:03
help you get benefits to take care of your family, it starts
25:06
to worry you. We've had OV Mohali on the show,
25:09
We've talked about concussion protocol and where the NFL
25:12
should be going in these situations.
25:14
He believes that the NFL is not doing enough to help some of
25:17
these ex players. I I just think that when you
25:19
hear stories like this and Roger could tell is saying, well,
25:22
there's a lot of great people and gracious people that have
25:25
gone, you know, that have gone through these problems and have
25:28
gone through it and, and have done the right thing to try to
25:31
get help. Now you have a crazy man who's
25:34
never played NFL football walk into an walk into an NFL
25:38
building and shoots up people, innocent people, and he's trying
25:43
to get to the floor of the NFL because he wants to just
25:46
absolutely unload an automatic to kill everybody there.
25:51
And Roger Goodell says we're going to we're going to add
25:53
security. We're going to add more cops
25:55
around the building. Is that going to really help the
25:57
situation? This has been going on forever.
26:01
Players are committing suicide because of these issues and all
26:06
you have to do is figure out a way to help these players if
26:10
they have CTE, concussion problems or they have any
26:13
problems when it comes to walking away from the game.
26:15
The NFL should have some kind of benefits to these players to
26:21
help their issues, their any issues, their head trauma, their
26:24
back issues. They shouldn't be saying, hey,
26:26
after two or three years after you walk away from the sport,
26:29
well, you're on your own. You got to go.
26:31
Take care yourself. Go get your own insurance.
26:34
To me, these guys have put their lives on their line, their
26:37
families on the line to play a sport where you're putting
26:42
yourself in harm's way to entertain millions and millions
26:46
of people so the NFL can become trillionaires.
26:50
Just think about it. And we talked about the money
26:52
that the NFL is making here on every single sponsor and
26:56
advertiser they have in the game.
26:59
You talk about Doritos, Doritos. Doritos spent $5.5 million off
27:04
of every single commercial that was played at the Super Bowl.
27:07
Think about that. It was 4 times they spent over
27:10
$22 million for four commercials for the NFL to make a buck
27:16
during the Super Bowl. Now just think about this.
27:19
If you took all the money one year from the Super Bowl and
27:23
invested into helping X players get benefits for the next, I
27:27
don't know, five to six years, don't you think it's worth it?
27:31
Don't you think it's worth it? They're making billions and
27:33
billions of dollars off of 80,000 people showing up to
27:37
football games to watch a crappy football team play.
27:40
Think about that. Think about stadiums.
27:43
You're looking at The Jets. The Jets pack out stadium after
27:47
stadium after stadium. And year after year you watch
27:50
garbage football. And then you look at that, you,
27:53
you see these stories again going back to tomorrow, what he
27:57
did going up to the 31st floor. And I, I'll say this, I don't
28:02
know if you know, Tommy poops over here.
28:04
His brother is a New York City cop.
28:07
His partner was at the building after the fact, after the
28:13
shooting happened. She was there when they were
28:16
wrapping up the bodies and taking the bodies to the morgue.
28:20
Think about that. Seeing something so terrible
28:24
like that and and seeing a guy walk through the building and
28:29
just unload with an automatic gun, killing an innocent cop and
28:35
going to the wrong floor. Thank God he went to the wrong
28:38
floor. Then you hear that the the maid
28:39
there, if she walked, if she turned right, she would have
28:43
walked right into the gunman. And then how about the person on
28:48
the elevator that saw him off the elevator, She survived so
28:53
much to to be grateful about. And this guy goes out, kills
28:57
people and it kills himself, shoots himself in the chest,
29:00
doesn't shoot himself in the head because they want, he wants
29:03
them to study his brain. Now, if he has CTE, maybe, and
29:08
and maybe that's where his mental issues are coming from.
29:11
They state that supposedly his family says he had a ton of
29:15
mental issues. When you have CTE, you're going
29:18
to have mental issues. Think about all these ex
29:20
football players, ex hockey players.
29:23
Now there are hockey players we've had on this show that have
29:27
talked about some of the CTE problems a lot of these players
29:30
have had. How about the goons?
29:32
All these Goon players that have gone out there, they're picked.
29:36
These guys were great players and they're used to go out there
29:39
to fight, to attract the crowd and get the fans to be into the
29:44
hockey games. We've had at least three or four
29:46
of those guys. Yeah, on this show telling us
29:49
that they were great hockey players and they couldn't play
29:51
in the NHL unless they became a goon because they didn't need,
29:55
they didn't need a superstar player.
29:57
They had enough great players on a team.
29:59
Either you're going to learn how to fight or you're going to go
30:02
down in the minors and make not a penny more than you would
30:04
expect to make if you were a professional.
30:07
Just think about that. And that goes to the NFL and the
30:10
way the NFL don't take care of their players.
30:13
Rodger Goodell has said nothing, nothing about former players
30:17
that have stood high to make this the sport turn into the
30:22
biggest sport worldwide besides soccer.
30:25
What is bigger than the NFL? The NFL is trying to make
30:28
foreign teams. They they've played football
30:32
games, professional football games in Germany, Brazil last
30:35
year. You have them.
30:36
You have them in London, Australia, and now you're
30:41
talking about the NFL maybe building an English football
30:45
team. They're growing so big and the
30:50
NFL still can't protect the players that have stood for the
30:55
emblem, stood for the the name, the National Football League.
31:00
That to me is scary. And you you hear a story like
31:04
this. It it's scary to think that the
31:06
NFL after this situation, all you hear Roger Goodell say is
31:11
thank God only one of our people were hurt.
31:15
That's what he said. And we're going to add more
31:18
security and police help moving forward.
31:22
What about the innocent people that were outside of the
31:26
building when this gunman could walked, double parked, pulled
31:30
out of his car and could have shot innocent people?
31:33
Because the NFL over the years have not gone out there to
31:38
really help this situation. They they really haven't.
31:42
CTE has been here forever. Who is the center that played
31:46
for the Steelers? Mike Webster.
31:47
Mike Webster was a guy that a lot of people talk about the CTE
31:52
problem that he had. What did he do to himself?
31:55
He didn't shoot himself. He electrocuted himself.
31:59
He electrocuted himself in his car.
32:01
He was living in his car. Mental, mental issues couldn't
32:05
take him take care of himself. His family didn't know what was
32:08
wrong with him. He didn't know where he was.
32:12
But the NFL made it seem like, you know, he had mental issues.
32:16
He had problems. Why do you think one of the
32:18
greatest centers, if not the greatest center to ever play an
32:21
NFL football game commits suicide?
32:25
And, and obviously the issues that he had over the years
32:30
before he killed himself and the NFL did nothing to help him.
32:34
There are players over the years that have written to the NFL
32:39
crying for help in the NFL, just kind of like brushes it to the
32:43
side. Roger Goodell doesn't really
32:45
protect the players that stood strong for really all the years
32:51
that the NFL has grown. He has been a commissioner for
32:54
the NFL for how long? What is it, 12 years now?
32:57
O6 more than that, That's almost 20.
32:59
Years. All right, so 20 years Roger
33:01
Goodell has been the commissioner of the NFL.
33:06
How much money has Roger Goodell made over the last 20 years?
33:10
At least 50 billion more than he deserves. 50 billion.
33:13
Think about he's making 50 million right now.
33:16
Rodger Goodell has made over $300 million if you add the
33:21
money that he has made over the 20 years.
33:23
And I, I don't have the number here, but I know he just signed
33:26
all a 50 million a year contract.
33:28
And by the way, his family was agreed upon to have a life
33:33
insurance policy and I'm talking about medical insurance for the
33:38
rest of their lives. Even if he stepped down as the
33:41
commissioner of the NFL, why can't the NFL do that for former
33:44
players? Taking care of the, the, the,
33:47
the broadcasting, the, the emblem.
33:50
They're going out there and promoting and sporting the, the
33:53
sport and, and speaking for the sport and growing the sport
33:57
after walking away from it. Drew Brees is one of those guys
34:02
that really stand out to me since he's walked away from the
34:05
sport. What is the NFL done for him?
34:08
Honestly, what is the NFL done for Drew Brees now?
34:11
The end. I remember NBC hired him.
34:14
Remember that NBC hired him as a broadcaster.
34:16
How long did that last? It didn't last long because he's
34:20
not a broadcaster. So what?
34:22
Is it was a year, wasn't it? Yeah, it wasn't long, and Drew
34:24
Brees now is trying to figure out what he wants to do with the
34:28
next part of his life. And I, I don't know, but the NFL
34:32
hasn't gone out of their way to try to help one of the greatest
34:35
quarterbacks ever play the game and, and, and go to him and say,
34:38
listen, we're going to fill you in.
34:40
We're going to give you a job over there at the NFL
34:42
headquarters. We, we, we need somebody like
34:45
you to help build our product to, to the, to the, to the new
34:48
age of players. Help the young quarterbacks grow
34:51
into the superstar player you became.
34:54
Why don't you? Why don't you think football
34:56
does kind of like what baseball does?
34:59
And I'm not saying it's a made-up position, but how they
35:03
bring back some of the legends that were on that team in, in a,
35:06
in a front office capacity. Or, you know, you look at like
35:09
guys like Puhols and CC that go work for the Commission to get
35:13
more, you know, cultural diversity into the game and
35:17
spread the word. Like, I feel like there's not
35:18
enough of that in, in football where it's like the special
35:21
assistant is, is kind of the, the made-up term, right for, for
35:25
baseball and, and bring those guys back to help them toward
35:27
these young kids and, and to be a face to the organization, not
35:31
just a front office, but to keep them involved.
35:34
To your point, like, why didn't they, why don't they go to a guy
35:36
like Drew Brees and be like, hey, what are you passionate
35:39
about? Is there something that that you
35:40
see that we could do better in this game?
35:42
And is it, you know, getting guys ready for the next chapter
35:45
of their life or whatever? I just don't, I don't feel like
35:48
they do a very good job of when their players are done.
35:52
It's just like, here you go, you're, you know, now wash your
35:54
hands clean. But you see so many of these
35:56
guys in baseball. I don't know how much in
35:59
basketball you see it a little bit like Elton Brand, for
36:01
example, is 1 and guys go back and coach and do those things.
36:05
So I just, I, it doesn't make sense to me why you wouldn't
36:08
want some of those names to be involved in some capacity of
36:11
your organization. But they work there, is there?
36:14
Some of these guys are getting involved, trying to help.
36:16
Calvin Johnson is one of those guys.
36:18
I mean, to pick a show, Ferguson here in Long Island, he's from
36:21
Long Island, Freeport, Long Island.
36:23
He does all these different the seminars out here for some of
36:27
these young kids, teaching them how to be tough football
36:30
players, learn how to protect themselves and and learn how to
36:33
protect their heads when they're out there playing full contact
36:36
football, full contact sports. There are a lot of guys out
36:40
there trying to help their sport and help these young kids throw
36:43
into guys and you know players well, they don't they understand
36:48
the new technique or learn they technique to protect their heads
36:52
over the years. The NFL didn't care about that.
36:54
The NFL didn't care about technique.
36:56
They just cared about how many times are you going to go out
36:59
there? How many times are we going to
37:00
get you to go out there? Even if you have you're throwing
37:03
up on the sidelines or you're throwing up on the football
37:05
field. Me, Curtis Martin told me his
37:07
eyes were rolling in the back of his head in the huddle and he
37:11
would go out there and, and, and play, you know, play 5-6 more
37:14
plays before he, he's throwing up on the sidelines And, and
37:18
then finally the coach tells him to sit.
37:20
I mean, this has been going on for years.
37:23
There is no protection when it comes to these players.
37:26
And we can go on and on and on about it.
37:29
And again, we're going to this isn't the last time we're going
37:31
to see this. Now this kid had nothing to do
37:35
with the NFL, the NFL. And that's what the NFL is going
37:38
to say now. That's what they're going to
37:40
say. Oh, this guy never played in the
37:42
NFL. Who cares?
37:43
He, he had nothing to do with our product.
37:46
But if if this guy's going to the NFL headquarters and trying
37:49
to shoot up the NFL, obviously there's something he is reading
37:55
and what people are telling him that the NFL isn't doing to help
37:59
former players out with their concussion protocol and
38:02
concussion problems. Where this kid believes that the
38:05
one thing he needs to do is go and shoot up and try to kill
38:08
whoever he can from the NFL. And that's the message that has
38:11
to be learned from the NFL doing this too.
38:14
And I the NFL, I think more than any other other sport, we've
38:17
also seen a lot of guys dying younger, whether they're current
38:21
players like you saw with Kansas City, which Yvonne Belcher in
38:24
season committing suicide. And we've seen it even after
38:27
their careers too. Now, a lot of them aren't all
38:29
CTE related, but a lot of them still have to stem from it too,
38:32
where these other medical issues can be spawned too.
38:35
And we had we had one on the show in Uche Winery, who was an
38:38
offensive lineman and he was going through a lot of the
38:41
corruption. That killed himself, by the way,
38:42
in the. NFL He passed away about three
38:44
months after we had him on the show.
38:45
Now, it wasn't directly CTE related, he was a heart attack.
38:48
But again, those things came. It was a heart attack.
38:50
I'm sorry. It was a heart attack, yes.
38:51
He wasn't the guy that was. Who did we interview that
38:54
obviously, I think. That was a basketball player we
38:56
interviewed. The passed away.
38:57
Passed away? Caleb Swanigan yes, it was a
39:01
star at Purdue in in college and he played a couple of years with
39:04
the Trail Blazers and he passed away.
39:05
Yeah, it had trauma too. Yes, he did.
39:07
And there's a lot of those types of instances in the NFL you
39:10
talked about with Balau Powell. Balau Powell had some CT issues
39:13
at the end of his career too. That's why he had to retire
39:15
younger as well. And that he's doing so much to
39:18
get towards it. But there's only much, so much
39:20
you could do when it comes to training if you don't have the
39:22
money with it. And what at what point does the
39:24
NFL have to realize that there's more players?
39:27
It shouldn't matter the level of players that you are getting it.
39:29
There's millions of players come through the NFL with practice
39:32
squads, just 2-3 year guys that come through the NFL that are
39:37
going to deal with this kind of thing.
39:39
Just because they don't have the practices, don't because don't
39:41
have the stats. These flashy stats are going to
39:44
be able to do it. We've we've interviewed so many
39:46
of them and Arrow, the list is in the e-mail above.
39:48
The one you just read of all the guys that we've had on the show
39:51
that have mentioned it to us, their insurance just runs out on
39:54
it. And the most recent one was that
39:56
we had on the show was Robert Turbin.
39:57
Robert Turbin mentioned it. It was literally that day.
40:00
Three days later we had him on the I'm.
40:02
Looking for where? Is it in your e-mail?
40:04
You want me to look in my e-mail?
40:05
Yeah, it's right. Right above what you just read.
40:07
Right there where? 715 the 7:15 one, so he's.
40:11
He's been texting you to to read your e-mail.
40:13
The whole time, well, guess what, I was in the shower.
40:16
I've been dealing with my own crap all day.
40:18
So there's a lot of those types of guys that are are not going
40:21
to be the stars that are going to be dealt with that and that
40:24
cannot happen for like you're saying, you're getting all these
40:26
Super Bowl commercials, all these revenue, there's enough to
40:28
spread it out where these players get it more than just.
40:31
I remember when Robert Turbine was on the show and I mentioned
40:33
the concussion situation, he was back and forth trying to protect
40:36
the league. So, and, and again, a lot of
40:40
these players are not going to go out there and throw
40:41
themselves under the bus because they're working.
40:43
They have podcasts and they're protecting themselves.
40:46
They don't want to be attacked. Where the leaks going to say,
40:49
you know what, we're not promoting your product anymore.
40:51
We're not going to do anything for you moving forward.
40:54
And you're supposed to support what we're doing.
40:56
And a lot of these players don't care because they don't they
40:58
don't work with the league anymore.
40:59
One of them was Jarvis Green Jarvis Green has been on this
41:02
show quite a few times. I remember he was hanging out,
41:06
he was drinking daiquiri, he was in his cab and he was, I think
41:10
he was going to an event and he was just getting drunk and he
41:13
was telling us how he was. He had a grade one or a grade 2,
41:17
which was considered CTE. And he said that he's reached
41:21
out to the NFL and still hasn't gotten any money from that, that
41:24
lawsuit. And that's the problem right
41:26
now. The NFL is giving money to these
41:28
guys, but who's getting the money and where's the money
41:31
coming from? It's only $100 million.
41:34
A $100 million goes fast. I mean, seriously, when you have
41:37
guys that are making guys like, hey, we, we mentioned there's a
41:41
guy on, on the New York Mets, Juan Soto, making 60 million a
41:44
year, just got a $675 million contract and all the NFL can
41:50
dish out is $100 million to help former players with their
41:53
medical issues. That's a problem.
41:55
And overtime too, it's not hard to like re up on that kind of
41:58
thing. And if players are struggling
42:00
like this, they they should be able to have be able to reach
42:03
out to the NFL and get some kind of support with that.
42:06
And it should be an open thing. It shouldn't just be restricted
42:09
after a certain time frame too, because they are lingering
42:11
effects. Like you said with Mike Webster.
42:13
Mike Webster, it was a while after his career that it
42:16
happened. I think it was in 2000 when he
42:17
ended up dying. That's that's at least 15 years
42:20
after he retires. These kinds of things can still
42:22
happen that long and it just just depends on everyone.
42:25
Everybody is built differently too.
42:27
It doesn't matter if you play 2 years in the NFL or you play 15.
42:30
It can accumulate over time too, especially with positions like a
42:34
linebacker position. We had a lot of linebackers on
42:36
the show. Running backs like we talked
42:37
about with Powell, there's a lot of them on the show.
42:39
Christian Nakoye when he was on the show was mentioning a lot of
42:41
things with with CTE and they didn't research it as much back
42:45
then when he was playing and he was dealing with it a lot.
42:47
It it shouldn't matter how level of player you are and how many
42:50
reps there are, the NFL should be able to go to these players
42:54
and help. The NFL was trying to sue the,
42:58
the director that or the, the, the organization that brought
43:03
out that Will Smith movie, a concussion movie.
43:06
They after the movie came out, they were trying to sue, they
43:08
were trying to get rid of the the movie and completely banish
43:11
the movie. And the NFL, remember they're,
43:14
they're multibillion dollar organization.
43:16
So they've got so much power. And when it comes to money, as
43:19
we see what's going on in the world right now, you can get
43:21
away with murder, literally murder by doing of things that
43:25
you can do in waving your money around.
43:27
And that's the problem right now with the NFL.
43:29
They're so big, they're so powerful.
43:31
And Roger Goodell has the the owner's ears and the owner's
43:35
mouth, you know, voices and he speaks up.
43:38
And when he speaks up, nobody can attack Roger Goodell.
43:42
Nobody can throw Roger Goodell under the bus because if they
43:44
do, you're going to be banished from the league.
43:47
The NFL will banish you. And that's the problem right
43:50
now. If you say anything to attack
43:53
the NFL or say anything about what the NFL isn't doing to help
43:57
former players or former people and players like Brett Favo has
44:01
Parkinson, like Parkinson's. We have a guy right now on a
44:05
common section right now, Sean Browning, who's saying, oh,
44:10
Brett Favre has Parkinson while he's been hit so many times in
44:13
the head. How many concussions has Brett
44:15
Favre had? So I mean, and this is just
44:17
going to keep on going and going and going.
44:19
That's what's scary about this. And it's not just football.
44:22
It's happening in other sports than on a full contact sports.
44:26
The NBA, there's CT going on. You have the NHL soccer with the
44:31
the the head trauma that they have because of the head butts
44:34
and all the stuff and getting kicked in the head.
44:36
I mean all these sports have CTE problem but CT up CTE problems.
44:40
But the one sport that everybody is is talking about is the one
44:44
sport that this guy, this idiot, this nut job went to the
44:49
buildings, double parked, walked in with an automatic weapon,
44:53
mentally, mentally, mental problems and shoot up a
44:57
building, innocent people killing an innocent cop.
45:00
It's just shameful. It's disgusting and the NFL, I'm
45:02
not blaming the NFL for this. You can't blame the NFL this for
45:05
this. This isn't the NFL's fault, but
45:08
the NFL stands for something. And what Roger Goodell should be
45:12
saying instead of saying thankful that only one person,
45:15
one person from his organization got shot and he thank God he's
45:19
okay and saved a lot of people and, and saying that there's
45:22
going to be more security and more police now they're moving,
45:26
moving forward. He should have went out there
45:28
and said, my, my heart goes out to the families.
45:30
Now, he hasn't done anything, hasn't spoken as far as what
45:33
I've seen, I haven't seen anything from Roger Goodell yet.
45:36
But that's something that the NFL should have done right away,
45:39
within hours from this, this, this situation, this, this awful
45:44
situation that happened in New York City.
45:46
No, I, but let me ask you guys a question.
45:48
And as you guys are bringing up like insurance and stuff, so
45:51
are, are, are you saying obviously take care of these
45:53
guys? I'm not disagreeing with that.
45:55
Are you saying that if you spend one day in the NFL that you
45:59
should be taken care of or or should there be a precedent?
46:02
Because in baseball you can't get insurance until you play 3
46:06
years and then you can get it and then five and then obviously
46:09
full vested at 10. But we don't have, we don't, we
46:12
don't have insurance either. Like we can keep our same
46:16
insurance that we have, but we have to pay for it.
46:19
Yeah, there's probably level service time that has to go into
46:21
it, probably for what they're going to consider.
46:23
But again, they still should have be open to just directly
46:27
reaching out to players that are even just playing and practicing
46:30
and stuff because these injuries can happen in practice.
46:32
All the time, too. And here's the thing.
46:33
Roger Goodell did speak out. He spoke out a day ago and and
46:38
to me, Roger Goodell should have went out there right away and
46:40
said something to speak out for the NFL.
46:43
He says this is an unthinkable act.
46:45
Good Goodell Rd. But we stand together in grief
46:49
and in support of one another. That's what Roger Goodell said.
46:53
That was that was the spiel that Roger Goodell gave after this
46:57
terrible act and and again, the NFL, this isn't the NF LS fault.
47:02
I'm not blaming the NFL for this this awful thing that happened
47:06
because this guy never played in the NFLI.
47:08
Blame the NFL because the NFL has not done enough to help this
47:12
situation. That's what I blame the NFL
47:14
with. So how does a kid, you know, get
47:18
get CTE if he never played past high school is the question a
47:22
lot of people should be are probably asking.
47:25
And you don't realize a lot of kids and a lot of coaches, I'll
47:29
start with the kids just don't really have good form in high
47:32
school. It's not even that they're not
47:34
good athletes. Some of them are good athletes.
47:36
A lot of them aren't, but a lot of them lead with their head.
47:39
It's just it's easy, right? Right.
47:42
You can bring someone down because the head could be used
47:44
as a weapon and it's just easier to tackle that way.
47:46
When I was a kid they told you to bite the ball in football.
47:49
You are not coaching football that way to tackle anymore.
47:52
It changed with Pete Carroll actually with the Legion of Boom
47:55
teams. They implemented rugby tackling
47:58
which allows you to gang tackle without your head ever coming in
48:01
contact. Basically you just attack.
48:03
You used to be head across, now it's head to the near hip of
48:06
wherever you're tackling so that you got two guys tackle, the guy
48:09
in a gang tackle and your head's never hit.
48:11
So it's a lot safer. Also, the guy can't knee you in
48:13
the head. It's just better.
48:15
And there's been a lot fewer concussions.
48:17
I don't think that's Goodell doing anything.
48:19
I do think that's Pete Carroll and some of the great minds of
48:23
football actually just making the game safer because that's
48:25
what you need to do. But what happens in high school
48:28
very often is that you either have coaches that are not really
48:32
concerned with maybe guys further down on their roster and
48:35
are not coaching them up. I know this guy probably had a
48:38
good year or two. He probably wasn't a ** guy.
48:42
He had promised. The coach said I didn't know
48:44
where went wrong. It sounds like a guy that
48:45
probably fell through the cracks on a roster.
48:48
I mean, Errol, you've told me stories, you know, that you've
48:50
had some issues when you were in high school guys that you know,
48:53
didn't you know, it made it hard for you to play on the roster.
48:57
I mean, this kid, you know, he's saying he has CTE.
49:00
It could be very possible that he was just never coached well,
49:03
he fell through and he just decided I'm just going to work
49:06
to get a spot and let put his head down and messed up his
49:09
entire life. And, and again, the NFL, the NFL
49:13
had nothing to do with what this kid, what happened to this kid
49:18
years before him going on this madness killing spree.
49:21
OK, the NFL had nothing to do with it, but there had to be
49:25
something that set this guy off. There had to be something.
49:29
And why would he go after the NFL?
49:31
The NHL, they're another organization that has concussion
49:34
and CTE problems. So does the NBA.
49:36
So does every single other sport but the NFL.
49:39
There's a lot closer places than New York from Vegas.
49:41
Exactly. I mean, you could have gone
49:43
anywhere but the NFL. You go to the NFL building and
49:47
you you go and you're trying to kill off people from the NFL.
49:51
It tells you one thing. Somebody is obviously sinking
49:54
information into this guy He's reading on the Internet.
49:57
You can get anything on the Internet now.
49:59
You can find anything. To me, you can figure out there
50:03
are ways. Now they have TV shows that
50:05
teach you how to kill people. There are TV shows that teach
50:09
you how to get away from killing people.
50:11
Seriously, that's what's scary about the world.
50:14
Now you can go, you can actually watch ATV show and it'll tell
50:18
you exactly how you can go and murder somebody.
50:22
And that to me, is kind of scary, this.
50:25
Guy, there's more than one show, too, by the way.
50:27
There's not just one. And this guy and.
50:29
Dozens of YouTube channels. And this guy who is mentally
50:34
mental has mental issues. Got a permit for an automatic?
50:38
Think about that. How does a guy that has mental
50:41
issues and was put in in his file that he has mental issues?
50:45
How does a guy like that get an semi automatic gun and go 3000
50:51
miles to another state and shoots up innocent and kills
50:55
innocent people? That's scary.
50:57
Think of concealed. Carry no less too.
51:00
It's scary and I that's why I said he went 3000 miles and
51:04
nobody noticed that this guy might be a little bit out there.
51:07
I mean, his Arizona license plates and he's travelling from
51:11
one city to another. I mean, come on, It's tense
51:14
nature. I mean, it's, it's, it's kind of
51:16
scary. And again, Roger Goodell, that's
51:19
all he's going to say. Roger Goodell has to say more
51:22
than that. He's got to come out and, and
51:24
actually help that family. How about the, the the cop now
51:29
obviously the mayor came out and they asked him how is he going
51:31
to help the family that just lost their father, two kids and
51:35
and a newborn that's not even been born yet.
51:38
How are you going to support the family moving forward?
51:40
And he says that the city of New York is going to do everything
51:43
they can to help help the family.
51:45
OK, how about the NFLA multi billion dollar organization?
51:49
How about the other people, the innocent people that were
51:51
murdered, the three other people that were murdered?
51:53
Why aren't we talking about those people that were killed?
51:57
Why aren't their families getting taken care of?
52:00
Think about it. The NFL to me is a multi billion
52:04
dollar organization. They got so much money they
52:07
could swim in it. There's Scrooge Mcduck.
52:09
That's what Rodger Goodell is. He's Scrooge Mcduck.
52:13
Does anybody? This could have made Goodell
52:15
look like in some people's eyes, like, OK, forget the football
52:18
stuff. There is a there is a human
52:20
aspect of him and like, Hey, you know what, you know what, we're
52:23
going to get together and see what we can do for these
52:25
families and and help in any way pot like this.
52:29
He he could have handled it a lot different to where it made
52:32
him look. And not to say it wouldn't be
52:35
genuine, but it made him look good and in a good light in a in
52:39
a crappy situation. It's a horrible situation.
52:42
And again, the NFL again looks like the bad guys.
52:47
Rodger Goodell looks like a bad guy.
52:48
That's what he looks like. And no offense, if Rodger is
52:51
listening to the show and obviously we're going to cut
52:53
this up and people are going to say this guy is an idiot, What a
52:56
Jackass. What does he know?
52:58
He never played professional football.
52:59
I've got friends that play professional football.
53:02
I have built relationships with ex NFL players that play
53:06
professional football. I speak to on the phone,
53:09
sometimes weekly, OK, so don't give me this crap that I don't
53:13
know what I'm talking about. I speak to these people, these
53:16
athletes. I have relationships with them
53:19
and they have told me that the, and I'm not going to mention
53:21
names because I'm not throwing them under the bus.
53:24
They have mentioned to me that the NFL has done them wrong.
53:29
That's the facts, Jack. And you want to throw me under
53:31
the bus and say that I'm an asshole and I'm an idiot?
53:34
Maybe so I've got an asshole. I don't shove anything up it,
53:38
but I'd love to do something. Roger Goodell, sometimes.
53:41
I just want to, before we move on, I want to read Sean's next
53:44
comment about a military veterans having CTE as well and
53:46
they get ignored and downplayed too.
53:49
And he's nerve tournament from 2 doors in Iraq too.
53:51
We had a Nate Boyer on the show too, who was in the military
53:53
fund in the Afghanistan war too and then played football too.
53:56
He was saying that a lot of the drastic differences with with
53:59
those two things and he was a part of that fish.
54:01
You were talking about that Seattle team that Pete Carroll
54:03
was implementing that the type of tackling technique too.
54:06
And I believe he was mentioning it trying to avoid those
54:08
injuries as well. But then you still have somebody
54:10
like Cam Chandler who had to retire early too, even on that
54:13
team doing that so. Cam Chancellor can't even walk.
54:16
He has problems walking. He can't even walk anymore.
54:19
Usually they cane. Has anybody seen Cam Chancellor?
54:21
This guy was built like an I mean, anybody look at this guy's
54:24
body. He, he, he had an unbelievable
54:28
anybody see Terrell Owens body? And look still to this day you
54:31
look at Terrell. Cam Chancellor was twice the
54:33
size of Terrell Owens. He was in unbelievable shape.
54:38
He was in crazy shape. His position doesn't even really
54:41
even exist anymore. He was this box safety.
54:44
They played with that one high look, you know, or mostly 1 high
54:47
look in Seattle. No one does that anymore.
54:49
Like the game changes so fast in the NFL and I just don't think
54:53
you can play that way and stay healthy.
54:55
And that's part of it. It's not like he wasn't
54:57
tackling, right? He was just being like a missile
54:59
out there. And a lot of guys used to play
55:01
that. I mean, back in the day, they
55:02
used to have a segment about hit sticking people, you know what I
55:05
mean? Like just launching yourself.
55:08
They used to have crack back blocks.
55:09
I'll never forget Warren Sepp ending some lineman's career on
55:12
the Packers after an interception, running down the
55:15
field. You know, everyone's, you know,
55:17
supposed to hustle. So he run down the field.
55:18
So what does he do? He just crack back blocks him
55:21
and ends the guy's career basically.
55:23
And that's completely out of the game.
55:24
That stuff's gone. Like Frank Webster when it was,
55:27
I mean, no blood, no foul. And even when there was blood,
55:30
that still wasn't enough for a foul back then, right?
55:33
It's it's been very different. Even when I was a kid, if you
55:35
saw stars, you didn't want to say you were coming out you that
55:39
you, you wanted to keep your reps, you wanted to keep your
55:41
spot in the lineup. And that was on a 500 team in
55:44
Class A football in New York in high school.
55:48
Just imagine what it's like in the real competitive places and
55:51
that it and at the higher levels.
55:53
It's especially when money's on the line.
55:55
Of course they don't want to come out of the game.
55:57
It's a horrible, it's a horrible story and obviously the NFL is
56:02
going to have to answer some questions moving forward because
56:05
this is not going to be the last thing we're going to hear.
56:08
Which deadly shooting and killings?
56:10
There was one a couple of years ago where ex NFL player went
56:13
into a house and killed 4 innocent people and then himself
56:17
and, and you know the story. I don't have to repeat it.
56:20

57:39
