  Chris is the NFL looking to get rid of the intelligence test that I hear
• 0:04
  that correctly, or that a push from the area. There's it's a lot
• 0:08
  of push, and I think there's a lot of talk. A lot of
• 0:11
  these unions is the labor unions, and you know, I don't want to
• 0:14
  get into what we're in society. I think I think the the problem to
• 0:20
  me is that we need to find who the heck and I think it's coming
• 0:25
  from. It's got to be coming from. I mean, it could be
• 0:28
  a player agent trying to hurt another player. I don't know, but it
• 0:32
  has to emanate. I'm going to tell you when when when When I was
• 0:36
  with the Oilers and Titans, there's only only one person that had our gender
• 0:40
  manager and not even the owner had the access to the information. We didn't
• 0:44
  share it. Somebody inside an organization, I believe, is sharing it.
• 0:48
  And I think it's sometimes nefarious to try to maybe manipulate who could be there
• 0:53
  and whatnot. I think it's you still need to know about a player's capacity
• 1:00
  to learn and willingness to learn, and maybe the certain tests. I think
• 1:04
  certain tests are not very good, and I think others that are, how
• 1:08
  a guy learns is critical, particularly at you know, the more critical positions
• 1:15
  like quarterbacks. Don't tell me that it's not important. How you got to
• 1:19
  teach the guy now you've got to learn even on defense, the complexities of
• 1:23
  being able to learn it. All those things are very important. But how
• 1:26
  you do it and what tests you use, I think that can be debated
• 1:30
  which ones are more useful than others. So there is discussions a lot of
• 1:34
  discussions about where we need to go with it.
