• 1:51
  it's
• 1:51
  one
• 1:51
  of
• 1:51
  those
• 1:51
  things
• 1:52
  just
• 1:52
  was
• 1:52
  thinking
• 1:52
  about
• 1:53
  at
• 1:53
  one
• 1:54
  point,
• 1:54
  and
• 1:54
  it
• 1:54
  was,
• 1:55
  you
• 1:56
  know,
• 1:56
  the,
• 1:58
  the
• 1:58
  first
• 1:59
  football
• 2:00
  rules
• 2:00
  in
• 2:00
  America,
• 2:01
  you
• 2:01
  know,
• 2:02
  were
• 2:02
  developed
• 2:02
  in
• 2:02
  1876,
• 2:04
  and
• 2:05
  they,
• 2:06
  they
• 2:07
  had
• 2:07
  a
• 2:07
  rule
• 2:07
  that
• 2:08
  basically
• 2:09
  said,
• 2:09
  you
• 2:09
  know,
• 2:09
  you
• 2:09
  can't.
• 2:12
  You
• 2:12
  couldn't
• 2:13
  have
• 2:13
  wear
• 2:14
  equipment.
• 2:14
  And
• 2:14
  they
• 2:15
  were
• 2:15
  primarily
• 2:15
  talking
• 2:15
  about
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  shoes,
• 2:17
  but
• 2:17
  you
• 2:17
  couldn't
• 2:18
  wear
• 2:18
  equipment
• 2:18
  that
• 2:18
  had
• 2:18
  iron
• 2:19
  or
• 2:19
  gutta
• 2:20
  percha.
• 2:21
  And
• 2:22
  you'll
• 2:22
  see
• 2:23
  gutta
• 2:23
  percha
• 2:24
  in
• 2:24
  a
• 2:24
  lot
• 2:24
  of
• 2:25
  the
• 2:25
  early
• 2:25
  rule
• 2:25
  books.
• 2:26
  And
• 2:26
  it's,
• 2:26
  it's
• 2:26
  like
• 2:26
  a.
• 2:28
  A
• 2:29
  pseudo
• 2:29
  plastic
• 2:30
  that
• 2:30
  came
• 2:30
  from
• 2:30
  some
• 2:31
  kind
• 2:31
  of
• 2:31
  Indonesian
• 2:32
  tree
• 2:32
  SAP.
• 2:34
  And
• 2:34
  like,
• 2:34
  early
• 2:35
  golf
• 2:35
  balls
• 2:35
  were
• 2:36
  all
• 2:36
  made
• 2:36
  with
• 2:36
  gutta
• 2:36
  percha.
• 2:37
  So,
• 2:38
  you
• 2:38
  know,
• 2:38
  golfers
• 2:40
  who
• 2:40
  are
• 2:40
  into
• 2:40
  the
• 2:41
  history
• 2:41
  of
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  sport
• 2:41
  may
• 2:42
  have
• 2:42
  come
• 2:42
  across
• 2:42
  that.
• 2:43
  That
• 2:43
  same
• 2:43
  term,
• 2:43
  but.
• 2:44
  So,
• 2:44
  you
• 2:44
  know,
• 2:44
  it's
• 2:45
  kind
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  tougher
• 2:45
  material.
• 2:47
  But
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  whole
• 2:48
  thing
• 2:48
  was,
• 2:48
  you
• 2:48
  know,
• 2:49
  they
• 2:49
  were.
• 2:49
  They
• 2:49
  banned
• 2:50
  certain
• 2:50
  materials
• 2:51
  to
• 2:51
  ensure
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  safety
• 2:52
  of
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  other
• 2:53
  players.
• 2:54
  And,
• 2:55
  and
• 2:56
  then
• 2:57
  that
• 2:57
  was
• 2:58
  kind
• 2:58
  of
• 2:58
  the.
• 2:59
  That's
• 3:00
  kind
• 3:00
  of
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  way
• 3:00
  it
• 3:00
  remained.
• 3:01
  They
• 3:01
  didn't
• 3:01
  really
• 3:02
  have
• 3:02
  any
• 3:02
  other
• 3:02
  equipment
• 3:04
  rules,
• 3:04
  per
• 3:04
  se.
• 3:05
  And
• 3:05
  then
• 3:05
  in
• 3:05
  1900,
• 3:06
  they
• 3:06
  added
• 3:07
  a
• 3:07
  rule
• 3:08
  that,
• 3:08
  that
• 3:09
  barred
• 3:10
  sticky
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  slippery
• 3:11
  substances.
• 3:13
  So
• 3:14
  those
• 3:14
  were
• 3:15
  not
• 3:15
  so
• 3:15
  much
• 3:16
  about
• 3:16
  the
• 3:17
  player
• 3:17
  safety,
• 3:18
  but
• 3:18
  it
• 3:18
  was
• 3:19
  still.
• 3:19
  They
• 3:20
  banned.
• 3:20
  They
• 3:20
  were
• 3:20
  bad.
• 3:20
  Initially,
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  rules
• 3:21
  were
• 3:22
  around
• 3:22
  banning
• 3:23
  certain
• 3:24
  substances
• 3:24
  in.
• 3:25
  In
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  equipment.
• 3:26
  And
• 3:26
  then,
• 3:27
  then
• 3:28
  everything
• 3:28
  kind
• 3:28
  of
• 3:28
  switched.
• 3:29
  So
• 3:29
  starting
• 3:29
  in
• 3:30
  24,
• 3:31
  they
• 3:32
  had
• 3:32
  a
• 3:32
  rule
• 3:33
  that
• 3:33
  was
• 3:33
  no
• 3:34
  sharp
• 3:34
  cleats.
• 3:35
  Right.
• 3:36
  Back
• 3:36
  then,
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  cleats
• 3:37
  were
• 3:37
  still
• 3:37
  leather.
• 3:38
  They
• 3:38
  weren't
• 3:39
  metal
• 3:39
  or
• 3:39
  plastic
• 3:40
  or
• 3:40
  Rubber
• 3:41
  or
• 3:41
  anything.
• 3:42
  You
• 3:42
  know,
• 3:42
  they
• 3:42
  were
• 3:43
  leather
• 3:45
  nubs.
• 3:47
  I'm
• 3:47
  sorry,
• 3:47
  like
• 3:48
  leather
• 3:48
  nubs
• 3:48
  sewed
• 3:49
  on
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  bottom.
• 3:49
  Yeah.
• 3:50
  You
• 3:50
  know,
• 3:50
  they
• 3:50
  tend
• 3:50
  to
• 3:51
  be
• 3:51
  kind
• 3:51
  of
• 3:51
  triangular.
• 3:53
  You
• 3:53
  know,
• 3:53
  sometimes
• 3:54
  they'd
• 3:54
  be
• 3:54
  like
• 3:54
  rows,
• 3:55
  you
• 3:55
  know,
• 3:55
  but
• 3:55
  kind
• 3:55
  of
• 3:56
  triangular
• 3:56
  in
• 3:56
  shape
• 3:57
  anyways.
• 3:57
  You
• 3:57
  know,
• 3:57
  you'd
• 3:57
  need
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  cobbler
• 3:58
  to
• 3:58
  tack
• 3:58
  them
• 3:59
  on
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  all
• 3:59
  kinds
• 3:59
  of
• 3:59
  stuff.
• 4:00
  But.
• 4:01
  So
• 4:01
  that
• 4:01
  was
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  first
• 4:02
  rule
• 4:02
  that
• 4:03
  was
• 4:03
  really,
• 4:03
  you
• 4:04
  know,
• 4:04
  kind
• 4:04
  of.
• 4:05
  That
• 4:05
  was
• 4:05
  a
• 4:05
  safety
• 4:06
  rule,
• 4:06
  but
• 4:06
  it
• 4:06
  was
• 4:06
  still
• 4:07
  protecting
• 4:08
  another
• 4:08
  player.
• 4:09
  Right,
• 4:09
  because
• 4:09
  you
• 4:09
  weren't
• 4:09
  going
• 4:10
  to
• 4:10
  spike
• 4:10
  yourself.
• 4:10
  You're
• 4:10
  going
• 4:11
  to
• 4:11
  spike.
• 4:11
  Spike
• 4:12
  somebody
• 4:12
  else.
• 4:15
  So.
• 4:15
  But
• 4:15
  they.
• 4:16
  But
• 4:16
  then
• 4:16
  that
• 4:16
  same
• 4:17
  year,
• 4:17
  they
• 4:17
  also
• 4:17
  said,
• 4:18
  okay,
• 4:18
  any
• 4:19
  equipment
• 4:19
  that
• 4:20
  you
• 4:20
  wear
• 4:21
  that
• 4:21
  is
• 4:21
  of
• 4:22
  a
• 4:22
  harder
• 4:22
  substance
• 4:23
  has
• 4:23
  to
• 4:23
  be
• 4:23
  padded
• 4:24
  on
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  exterior.
• 4:25
  So
• 4:26
  shoulder
• 4:26
  pads
• 4:26
  were,
• 4:27
  you
• 4:27
  know,
• 4:27
  initially
• 4:28
  shoulder
• 4:28
  pads
• 4:29
  were
• 4:29
  literally
• 4:29
  just,
• 4:29
  you
• 4:30
  know,
• 4:30
  soft
• 4:30
  pads
• 4:31
  sewn
• 4:31
  on
• 4:31
  the
• 4:31
  outside
• 4:32
  of
• 4:32
  the
• 4:32
  shoulders.
• 4:32
  But
• 4:32
  then
• 4:33
  they
• 4:34
  turned
• 4:34
  in.
• 4:34
  You
• 4:34
  know,
• 4:35
  they
• 4:35
  became
• 4:35
  something
• 4:35
  you
• 4:36
  wore
• 4:36
  inside.
• 4:36
  And
• 4:37
  by
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  mid-20s,
• 4:38
  they
• 4:38
  were
• 4:38
  getting
• 4:38
  harder.
• 4:39
  You
• 4:39
  know,
• 4:39
  different
• 4:40
  fibers
• 4:40
  and
• 4:41
  sole,
• 4:42
  leather
• 4:42
  and
• 4:42
  stuff
• 4:42
  like
• 4:43
  that.
• 4:44
  So
• 4:44
  it
• 4:45
  became
• 4:45
  an
• 4:45
  issue.
• 4:45
  You
• 4:45
  know,
• 4:46
  we
• 4:46
  got,
• 4:46
  you
• 4:46
  know,
• 4:46
  we
• 4:47
  got
• 4:47
  to
• 4:47
  protect
• 4:47
  players
• 4:48
  from
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  equipment,
• 4:49
  you
• 4:49
  know,

  But
• 4:51
  that
• 4:52
  was
• 4:52
  the

  first
• 4:52
  rule
• 4:52
  that
• 4:52
  really
• 4:53

  Then

  You.
• 4:59
  And
• 5:00
  that
• 5:00
  was
• 5:00
  not
• 5:00
  to
• 5:00
  protect
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  player's
• 5:02
  knees.
• 5:02
  It
• 5:02
  was
• 5:02
  to
• 5:03
  protect
• 5:03
  the
• 5:04
  head
• 5:05
  of
• 5:05
  somebody

  And,
• 5:07
  you
• 5:07
  know,
• 5:07
  so
• 5:07
  they
• 5:08
  wanted.
• 5:08
  They're
• 5:09
  going
• 5:09
  to
• 5:09
  get
• 5:09
  hit.
• 5:09
  If

  you're
• 5:09
  going
• 5:09
  to
• 5:10
  get
• 5:10
  kneed

• 5:11
  they
• 5:11
  want
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  knee
• 5:12
  to
• 5:12
  be
• 5:13
  cushioned
• 5:13
  by

  kind
• 5:14
  of,
• 5:15
  you

  concoction.
• 5:21
  Then,
• 5:22
  you
• 5:22
  know,
• 5:22
  in
• 5:22
  the
• 5:23
  30s
• 5:23
  into
• 5:24
  40s,
• 5:24
  then
• 5:24
  they
• 5:24
  said,
• 5:25
  okay,
• 5:25
  you
• 5:25
  got
• 5:25
  to

  wear
• 5:26
  a
• 5:26
  head
• 5:27
  covering
• 5:27
  or
• 5:27
  helmet.
• 5:28
  Right?
• 5:28
  High
• 5:29
  schools
• 5:29
  didn't.
• 5:29
  35
• 5:30
  colleges
• 5:30
  in
• 5:31
  39,
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  NFL
• 5:32
  in
• 5:32
  43.
• 5:33
  So
• 5:34
  now,
• 5:34
  okay,
• 5:35
  now
• 5:35
  you
• 5:35
  got
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  protect
• 5:35
  the
• 5:36
  player's
• 5:36
  head.
• 5:38
  In
• 5:39
  57,
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  NFL
• 5:40
  required
• 5:41
  face
• 5:41
  masks.
• 5:42
  NCAA
• 5:43
  didn't
• 5:43
  require
• 5:43
  them,
• 5:43
  oddly
• 5:44
  enough,
• 5:44
  until
• 5:44
  1993.
• 5:45
  But
• 5:45
  that's
• 5:46
  kind
• 5:46
  of
• 5:46
  a
• 5:46
  whole
• 5:47
  other
• 5:47
  story.
• 5:48
  Mouth
• 5:48
  guards.
• 5:51
  60
• 5:51
  high
• 5:52
  schools
• 5:52
  in
• 5:52
  62
• 5:53
  colleges.
• 5:53
  In
• 5:53
  72,
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  NCAA
• 5:57
  finally
• 5:58
  required
• 5:59
  shoulder
• 5:59
  pads
• 5:59
  in
• 6:00
  74.
• 6:01
  And
• 6:01
  then
• 6:01
  in
• 6:01
  78,
• 6:02
  you
• 6:02
  had
• 6:02
  the
• 6:02
  Noxy
• 6:03
  certified
• 6:04
  helmets.
• 6:05
  You
• 6:05
  know,
• 6:05
  so
• 6:06
  it's
• 6:06
  just
• 6:06
  one
• 6:07
  of
• 6:07
  those
• 6:07
  interesting
• 6:07
  things
• 6:08
  where,
• 6:08
  you
• 6:08
  know,
• 6:08
  so
• 6:08
  you
• 6:09
  didn't
• 6:09
  have
• 6:09
  to
• 6:09
  wear
• 6:09
  a
• 6:09
  helmet
• 6:09
  at
• 6:09
  all.
• 6:11
  And
• 6:11
  then,
• 6:12
  Then.
• 6:14
  Then,
• 6:14
  you
• 6:14
  know,
• 6:15
  say
• 6:15
  1930s,
• 6:16
  okay,
• 6:16
  now
• 6:16
  you
• 6:16
  got
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  wear
• 6:17
  a
• 6:17
  helmet,
• 6:17
  but
• 6:17
  you
• 6:17
  didn't
• 6:18
  have
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  wear
• 6:18
  a
• 6:18
  face
• 6:18
  mask.
• 6:19
  And
• 6:19
  then
• 6:20
  finally,
• 6:20
  you
• 6:21
  know,
• 6:21
  then
• 6:21
  you
• 6:21
  started
• 6:22
  having
• 6:22
  to
• 6:22
  wear
• 6:22
  a
• 6:22
  face
• 6:23
  vest.
• 6:23
  And
• 6:23
  then
• 6:23
  you
• 6:23
  had
• 6:24
  to
• 6:24
  wear
• 6:24
  a
• 6:24
  helmet
• 6:25
  that
• 6:25
  was
• 6:26
  tested
• 6:26
  to
• 6:27
  meet
• 6:27
  a
• 6:27
  certain
• 6:27
  quality
• 6:28
  standard,
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  know,
• 6:29
  and
• 6:30
  those
• 6:30
  were,
• 6:30
  you
• 6:30
  know,
• 6:30
  even
• 6:30
  the
• 6:31
  ones
• 6:31
  in
• 6:31
  like,
• 6:31
  70,
• 6:32
  78
• 6:33
  probably
• 6:33
  were
• 6:34
  kind
• 6:34
  of
• 6:34
  almost
• 6:35
  barbaric
• 6:35
  compared
• 6:36
  to
• 6:36
  what
• 6:36
  they.
• 6:36
  What
• 6:36
  they
• 6:37
  are
• 6:37
  now,
• 6:37
  you
• 6:37
  know,
• 6:38
  but,
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  know,
• 6:39
  so
• 6:40
  it's
• 6:40
  just
• 6:40
  kind
• 6:40
  of
• 6:40
  funny,
• 6:41
  you
• 6:41
  know,
• 6:41
  that
• 6:42
  we
• 6:43
  had
• 6:43
  this
• 6:44
  equipment,
• 6:45
  you
• 6:45
  know,
• 6:45
  we
• 6:45
  went
• 6:45
  from
• 6:45
  leather
• 6:46
  helmets
• 6:47
  to
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  plastic
• 6:49
  and,
• 6:50
  like,
• 6:50
  suspension
• 6:51
  and
• 6:51
  then
• 6:51
  padded
• 6:51
  interiors
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  stuff
• 6:52
  like
• 6:52
  that.
• 6:53
  But
• 6:53
  it
• 6:53
  wasn't
• 6:54
  until
• 6:54
  78
• 6:54
  there
• 6:54
  was
• 6:55
  that
• 6:55
  there
• 6:55
  was
• 6:55
  any
• 6:55
  kind
• 6:55
  of
• 6:56
  testing
• 6:56
  or,
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  know,
• 6:57
  any
• 6:57
  way
• 6:58
  to
• 6:58
  check
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  quality
• 6:59
  or
• 7:00
  to
• 7:00
  confirm
• 7:00
  the
• 7:01
  quality
• 7:01
  of
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  helmet.
• 7:02
  So,
• 7:03
  you
• 7:03
  know,
• 7:03
  we
• 7:03
  went
• 7:03
  from
• 7:03
  having,
• 7:04
  like,
• 7:05
  there
• 7:05
  were
• 7:05
  lots
• 7:05
  of
• 7:06
  lawsuits
• 7:06
  at
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  time,
• 7:06
  too.
• 7:06
  So
• 7:07
  we
• 7:07
  went
• 7:07
  from
• 7:07
  having
• 7:07
  like,
• 7:08
  22
• 7:09
  helmet
• 7:09
  manufacturers
• 7:10
  in
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  US
• 7:10
  to
• 7:10
  three,
• 7:11
  you
• 7:12
  know,
• 7:12
  and
• 7:12
  within
• 7:13
  just
• 7:13
  a
• 7:14
  handle
• 7:14
  handful
• 7:14
  of
• 7:14
  years
• 7:15
  now,
• 7:15
  we've
• 7:15
  had
• 7:16
  a
• 7:16
  couple
• 7:16
  of
• 7:16
  others
• 7:16
  come
• 7:16
  into
• 7:17
  the
• 7:17
  market,
• 7:17
  but
• 7:18
  that's
• 7:18
  pretty
• 7:18
  recent.
• 7:19
  So
• 7:20
  it
• 7:20
  kind
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  explains
• 7:21
  why
• 7:21
  Rydell
• 7:21
  dominated
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  market,
• 7:22
  you
• 7:23
  know,
• 7:23
  for
• 7:23
  so
• 7:23
  long.
• 7:24
  Yeah,
• 7:25
  it's
• 7:26
  really,
• 7:26
  really
• 7:26
  kind
• 7:26
  of
• 7:26
  interesting
• 7:27
  when
• 7:27
  you
• 7:27
  sit
• 7:27
  there
• 7:28
  and
• 7:28
  you
• 7:28
  talk
• 7:28
  about.
• 7:28
  You
• 7:28
  talk
• 7:28
  about
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  knee
• 7:29
  pads
• 7:29
  and,
• 7:30
  you
• 7:30
  know,
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  pads
• 7:31
  below
• 7:32
  the.
• 7:32
  The
• 7:32
  belt.
• 7:34
  Now,
• 7:34
  most
• 7:35
  players
• 7:35
  at
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  upper
• 7:36
  levels
• 7:37
  don't
• 7:37
  wear
• 7:37
  them
• 7:37
  at
• 7:37
  all.
• 7:38
  You
• 7:38
  know,
• 7:38
  I
• 7:39
  mean,
• 7:39
  I
• 7:39
  hope
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  God
• 7:40
  they
• 7:40
  wear
• 7:40
  something
• 7:41
  underneath
• 7:41
  to
• 7:42
  protect
• 7:42
  the.
• 7:42
  The
• 7:43
  jewels.
• 7:43
  But,
• 7:43
  you
• 7:44
  know,
• 7:44
  you
• 7:44
  don't
• 7:44
  see
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  thigh
• 7:45
  pads
• 7:46
  and
• 7:46
  knee
• 7:46
  pads
• 7:46
  and
• 7:47
  even
• 7:47
  hip
• 7:47
  and
• 7:48
  tailbone
• 7:48
  protectors
• 7:49
  anymore.
• 7:50
  They're
• 7:50
  just
• 7:50
  wearing
• 7:51
  spandex.
• 7:51
  You
• 7:52
  know,
• 7:52
  it
• 7:52
  seems
• 7:52
  like.
• 7:52
  Yeah,
• 7:53
  you
• 7:53
  know,
• 7:53
  it's
• 7:53
  a
• 7:53
  funny
• 7:53
  thing.
• 7:54
  Like,
• 7:54
  the,
• 7:56
  you
• 7:56
  know,
• 7:56
  I
• 7:56
  think
• 7:56
  about,
• 7:57
  like,
• 7:57
  you
• 7:58
  know,
• 7:58
  high
• 7:58
  school
• 7:58
  and
• 7:58
  even,
• 7:58
  you
• 7:59
  know,
• 7:59
  college,
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  fields
• 8:01
  we
• 8:01
  practiced
• 8:02
  were
• 8:02
  not
• 8:03
  particularly
• 8:04
  nice.
• 8:04
  You
• 8:04
  know,
• 8:05
  I
• 8:05
  mean,
• 8:05
  depends
• 8:05
  on
• 8:06
  which
• 8:06
  area
• 8:06
  of
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  field
• 8:06
  you're
• 8:06
  on.
• 8:07
  But,
• 8:07
  you
• 8:07
  know,
• 8:07
  a
• 8:07
  lot
• 8:07
  of
• 8:08
  them
• 8:08
  were
• 8:08
  just
• 8:08
  dry
• 8:09
  dirt
• 8:10
  and,
• 8:10
  you
• 8:10
  know,
• 8:10
  mud
• 8:11
  and,
• 8:11
  you
• 8:11
  know,
• 8:11
  whatever.
• 8:13
  So
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  leg
• 8:14
  protection
• 8:14
  was
• 8:14
  probably
• 8:14
  a
• 8:14
  bigger
• 8:15
  deal.
• 8:15
  But
• 8:15
  now,
• 8:15
  you
• 8:15
  know,
• 8:16
  these
• 8:16
  guys
• 8:17
  are
• 8:17
  playing
• 8:17
  on,
• 8:18
  you
• 8:18
  know,
• 8:19
  beautiful.
• 8:20
  You
• 8:20
  know,
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  artificial
• 8:21
  turf
• 8:21
  is
• 8:21
  so
• 8:21
  much
• 8:21
  softer
• 8:22
  than,
• 8:22
  you
• 8:22
  know,
• 8:23
  back
• 8:23
  in
• 8:23
  when
• 8:23
  it
• 8:24
  first
• 8:24
  was
• 8:24
  introduced.
• 8:25
  And
• 8:25
  even,
• 8:25
  you
• 8:26
  know,
• 8:26
  like,
• 8:26
  the
• 8:26
  worst
• 8:28
  grass
• 8:28
  fields
• 8:29
  are
• 8:31
  so
• 8:31
  much
• 8:31
  better
• 8:31
  than,
• 8:32
  you
• 8:32
  know,
• 8:33
  what.
• 8:33
  What
• 8:34
  was
• 8:34
  available
• 8:34
  in
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  past.
• 8:35
  Now,
• 8:35
  you
• 8:36
  know,
• 8:36
  again,
• 8:36
  practice
• 8:36
  fields
• 8:37
  prior
• 8:38
  come
• 8:38
  in
• 8:38
  all
• 8:38
  kinds
• 8:38
  of
• 8:38
  different
• 8:39
  shapes
• 8:39
  and
• 8:39
  sizes
• 8:40
  and
• 8:40
  colors
• 8:40
  and
• 8:40
  whatnot,
• 8:41
  but,
• 8:42
  you
• 8:42
  know,
• 8:42
  I
• 8:43
  don't
• 8:43
  know
• 8:43
  that
• 8:43
  it's.
• 8:43
  It's
• 8:44
  needed
• 8:44
  as
• 8:44
  much
• 8:45
  as
• 8:45
  it
• 8:45
  once
• 8:45
  was.
• 8:46
  Right?
• 8:48
  So.
• 8:48
  And,
• 8:49
  you
• 8:49
  know,
• 8:49
  I
• 8:49
  mean,
• 8:49
  they.
• 8:50
  They
• 8:50
  track
• 8:50
  injured,
• 8:51
  you
• 8:51
  know,
• 8:51
  injury
• 8:51
  statistics
• 8:52
  pretty
• 8:52
  darn
• 8:52
  close.
• 8:53
  They've
• 8:53
  got
• 8:53
  a
• 8:53
  good
• 8:53
  idea
• 8:54
  of
• 8:54
  what.
• 8:55
  What
• 8:55
  really
• 8:55
  is
• 8:55
  needed
• 8:56
  from
• 8:56
  a
• 8:56
  safety
• 8:57
  standpoint.
• 8:58
  And
• 8:59
  so,
• 9:00
  I
• 9:00
  don't
• 9:00
  know,
• 9:01
  maybe
• 9:01
  as
• 9:02
  a
• 9:02
  referee,
• 9:02
  you
• 9:02
  saw
• 9:03
  some
• 9:03
  things
• 9:03
  a
• 9:04
  little
• 9:04
  differently.
• 9:04
  But.
• 9:05
  Well,
• 9:05
  I
• 9:06
  mean,
• 9:06
  that
• 9:06
  was
• 9:06
  before,
• 9:07
  like
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  big,
• 9:08
  you
• 9:08
  know,
• 9:08
  helmet
• 9:09
  evolution
• 9:10
  that's
• 9:10
  gone
• 9:11
  over
• 9:11
  the
• 9:11
  last
• 9:11
  ten
• 9:12
  years
• 9:12
  or
• 9:12
  so.
• 9:12
  You
• 9:13
  know,
• 9:13
  now,
• 9:13
  you
• 9:13
  know,
• 9:13
  these,
• 9:14
  these
• 9:14
  companies
• 9:14
  and
• 9:15
  you
• 9:15
  even
• 9:15
  see
• 9:15
  the
• 9:15
  NFL
• 9:16
  players,
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  think
• 9:17
  that,
• 9:17
  you
• 9:18
  know,
• 9:18
  you
• 9:18
  see
• 9:18
  some
• 9:18
  of
• 9:18
  these
• 9:19
  veterans,
• 9:19
  like
• 9:19
  Aaron
• 9:19
  Rodgers
• 9:20
  this
• 9:20
  year
• 9:21
  switching
• 9:21
  to
• 9:21
  Steelers.
• 9:22
  His
• 9:23
  helmet
• 9:23
  that
• 9:23
  he's
• 9:24
  wore
• 9:24
  his
• 9:24
  whole
• 9:24
  career
• 9:25
  is
• 9:25
  no
• 9:26
  long.
• 9:26
  It's
• 9:26
  obsolete.
• 9:27
  It's
• 9:27
  no
• 9:27
  longer
• 9:27
  allowed
• 9:28
  on
• 9:28
  the
• 9:28
  NFL
• 9:28
  field.
• 9:28
  So
• 9:29
  he
• 9:29
  had
• 9:29
  to
• 9:29
  try
• 9:30
  to
• 9:30
  figure
• 9:30
  out
• 9:30
  a
• 9:30
  different
• 9:31
  style
• 9:31
  helmet,
• 9:32
  different
• 9:32
  brands,
• 9:33
  and
• 9:33
  they
• 9:33
  have
• 9:34
  three
• 9:34
  or
• 9:34
  four
• 9:34
  different
• 9:34
  brands
• 9:35
  they
• 9:35
  can
• 9:35
  use
• 9:35
  and
• 9:35
  different
• 9:36
  styles.
• 9:36
  But
• 9:37
  it's
• 9:37
  amazing
• 9:38
  what
• 9:38
  technology
• 9:38
  is
• 9:39
  doing.
• 9:39
  And
• 9:39
  they
• 9:40
  still
• 9:40
  have
• 9:40
  a
• 9:40
  long
• 9:40
  way
• 9:40
  to
• 9:40
  go
• 9:41
  because
• 9:41
  there's
• 9:41
  still
• 9:41
  people
• 9:41
  getting
• 9:42
  head
• 9:42
  injuries
• 9:42
  and
• 9:43
  getting
• 9:44
  maimed
• 9:44
  and,
• 9:45
  you
• 9:45
  know,
• 9:45
  even
• 9:45
  deaths
• 9:46
  we
• 9:46
  still
• 9:47
  read
• 9:47
  about
• 9:47
  in
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  paper.
• 9:48
  So,
• 9:48
  you
• 9:48
  know,
• 9:49
  we,
• 9:49
  we
• 9:49
  applied
• 9:50
  the,
• 9:50
  the
• 9:50
  science
• 9:51
  doing
• 9:51
  it,
• 9:51
  but
• 9:51
  still
• 9:52
  a
• 9:52
  long
• 9:52
  way
• 9:52
  to
• 9:52
  go.
• 9:53
  Yeah.
• 9:53
  Yeah.
• 9:54
  So.
• 9:54
  But
• 9:55
  again,
• 9:55
  you
• 9:56
  know,
• 9:56
  looking
• 9:56
  all
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  way
• 9:57
  back,
• 9:57
  it
• 9:57
  was
• 9:58
  initially,
• 10:00
  you
• 10:00
  know,
• 10:00
  there
• 10:01
  just
• 10:01
  wasn't
• 10:01
  a
• 10:01
  lot
• 10:02
  of
• 10:02
  thought
• 10:02
  to
• 10:03
  protecting
• 10:03
  yourself.
• 10:04
  Right.
• 10:05
  It
• 10:05
  was.
• 10:05
  It
• 10:05
  was
• 10:06
  about
• 10:06
  protecting
• 10:06
  other
• 10:07
  players.
• 10:08
  And,
• 10:08
  you
• 10:09
  know,
• 10:09
  then
• 10:09
  eventually,
• 10:10
  then
• 10:10
  it
• 10:10
  became
• 10:10
  much,
• 10:11
  you
• 10:11
  know,
• 10:11
  the
• 10:11
  rules,
• 10:12
  you
• 10:12
  know,
• 10:12
  shifted
• 10:13
  to
• 10:14
  really
• 10:14
  be
• 10:14
  a
• 10:14
  combination.
• 10:15
  You
• 10:15
  know,
• 10:15
  it's.
• 10:15
  It's
• 10:15
  for
• 10:16
  each
• 10:16
  individual
• 10:17
  player's
• 10:17
  protection,
• 10:17
  but
• 10:18
  also,
• 10:19
  you
• 10:20
  know,
• 10:20
  to
• 10:20
  protect
• 10:20
  others.
• 10:20
  And
• 10:21
  I
• 10:21
  think
• 10:21
  a
• 10:21
  lot
• 10:22
  of.
• 10:22
  Probably
• 10:23
  the
• 10:23
  plastic
• 10:23
  helmet
• 10:24
  drove
• 10:24
  a
• 10:24
  lot
• 10:24
  of
• 10:24
  that
• 10:25
  kind
• 10:25
  of
• 10:25
  stuff.
• 10:25
  You
• 10:25
  know,
• 10:26
  the,
• 10:27
  the
• 10:27
  need
• 10:27
  to
• 10:28
  just
• 10:28
  the,
• 10:29
  you
• 10:29
  know,
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  plastic
• 10:31
  helmet
• 10:31
  was
• 10:31
  a
• 10:31
  weapon,
• 10:32
  but
• 10:33
  it.
• 10:33
  Especially
• 10:34
  the
• 10:34
  way
• 10:34
  they
• 10:34
  taught
• 10:34
  certain,
• 10:35
  you
• 10:35
  know,
• 10:35
  tackling
• 10:36
  and
• 10:36
  blocking
• 10:36
  at
• 10:36
  the
• 10:36
  time.
• 10:37
  But,
• 10:38
  you
• 10:38
  know,
• 10:39
  there
• 10:39
  were
• 10:39
  ways
• 10:39
  to
• 10:40
  kind
• 10:40
  of
• 10:40
  protect
• 10:40
  against
• 10:41
  it,
• 10:41
  too.
• 10:41
  So,
• 10:42
  you
• 10:43
  know,
• 10:43
  I
• 10:43
  think
• 10:43
  a
• 10:43
  lot
• 10:43
  of
• 10:44
  the
• 10:44
  rule
• 10:44
  changes,
• 10:45
  you
• 10:45
  know,
• 10:45
  spearing
• 10:46
  and
• 10:46
  all
• 10:46
  that
• 10:46
  kind
• 10:46
  of
• 10:46
  stuff
• 10:47
  is
• 10:47
  dramatically.
• 10:49
  That's
• 10:49
  probably
• 10:50
  had
• 10:50
  as
• 10:50
  much
• 10:50
  an
• 10:51
  impact
• 10:52
  on
• 10:52
  preventing
• 10:53
  death
• 10:53
  as
• 10:55
  almost
• 10:55
  the
• 10:55
  equipment
• 10:56
  itself.
• 10:57
  You
• 10:57
  know,
• 10:57
  I
• 10:57
  just,
• 10:58
  I
• 10:58
  mean,
• 10:59
  there
• 10:59
  were
• 10:59
  the
• 10:59
  number
• 10:59
  of
• 10:59
  people
• 11:00
  who
• 11:00
  used
• 11:00
  to
• 11:00
  come
• 11:01
  flying
• 11:01
  in
• 11:01
  with
• 11:01
  their
• 11:01
  head
• 11:02
  down,
• 11:03
  right.
• 11:03
  You
• 11:04
  know,
• 11:04
  just
• 11:04
  asking
• 11:05
  for
• 11:05
  an
• 11:05
  injury,
• 11:06
  you
• 11:06
  know.
• 11:06
  Yeah,
• 11:07
  it's
• 11:08
  really
• 11:08
  came
• 11:08
  to
• 11:08
  light,
• 11:09
  especially
• 11:09
  these
• 11:09
  recent
• 11:10
  years,
• 11:10
  like
• 11:10
  the
• 11:10
  Ryan
• 11:10
  Shazier
• 11:11
  injury
• 11:12
  and
• 11:12
  some
• 11:12
  other,
• 11:13
  you
• 11:13
  know,
• 11:13
  famous
• 11:14
  NFL
• 11:14
  and
• 11:14
  college
• 11:15
  players
• 11:15
  that,
• 11:15
  you
• 11:16
  know,
• 11:16
  Daryl
• 11:16
  Stingley
• 11:17
  and
• 11:17
  some
• 11:17
  of
• 11:17
  those,
• 11:18
  you
• 11:18
  know,
• 11:18
  that
• 11:19
  were
• 11:19
  tragic.
• 11:20
  And
• 11:20
  it's
• 11:20
  mainly
• 11:21
  because
• 11:21
  players
• 11:22
  weren't,
• 11:22
  you
• 11:23
  know,
• 11:23
  looking
• 11:23
  at
• 11:23
  what
• 11:24
  they're
• 11:24
  hitting.
• 11:24
  You
• 11:24
  know,
• 11:24
  that's
• 11:24
  what
• 11:24
  the
• 11:25
  big
• 11:25
  motto
• 11:25
  of
• 11:25
  coaches
• 11:26
  today.
• 11:27
  And,
• 11:27
  you
• 11:28
  know,
• 11:28
  a
• 11:28
  whole
• 11:28
  different
• 11:29
  world
• 11:29
  than
• 11:29
  it
• 11:29
  was
• 11:29
  25
• 11:30
  years
• 11:30
  ago
• 11:30
  and
• 11:31
  before
• 11:31
  world
• 11:31
  of
• 11:32
  football.
• 11:32
  Well,
• 11:32
  and
• 11:33
  back
• 11:33
  in
• 11:33
  the
• 11:33
  day,
• 11:33
  you
• 11:33
  Know,
• 11:34
  you
• 11:34
  had
• 11:34
  a
• 11:34
  lot
• 11:34
  of,
• 11:34
  you
• 11:34
  know,
• 11:35
  new
• 11:35
  players,
• 11:35
  you
• 11:35
  know,
• 11:36
  kids
• 11:36
  who
• 11:36
  hadn't
• 11:36
  played
• 11:36
  before
• 11:37
  and,
• 11:38
  you
• 11:38
  know,
• 11:38
  maybe
• 11:39
  they
• 11:39
  didn't
• 11:39
  have
• 11:39
  the
• 11:39
  best
• 11:40
  coaching
• 11:40
  in
• 11:40
  the
• 11:40
  world
• 11:41
  either,
• 11:42
  but,
• 11:42
  you
• 11:42
  know,
• 11:42
  they,
• 11:44
  they
• 11:45
  drop
• 11:45
  their
• 11:45
  head,
• 11:45
  you
• 11:46
  know,
• 11:46
  when
• 11:46
  coming
• 11:47
  in
• 11:47
  on
• 11:47
  a
• 11:47
  tackle
• 11:48
  or
• 11:49
  in
• 11:49
  blocking.
• 11:49
  And
• 11:50
  so,
• 11:50
  yeah,
• 11:50
  anyways,
• 11:51
  you
• 11:51
  know,
• 11:52
  thankfully
• 11:52
  that,
• 11:52
  that
• 11:53
  kind
• 11:53
  of
• 11:53
  stuff
• 11:53
  is,
• 11:53
  you
• 11:54
  know,
• 11:55
  by
• 11:55
  and
• 11:55
  large
• 11:56
  outlawed.
• 11:56
  And,
• 11:57
  you
• 11:57
  know,
• 11:57
  while
• 11:58
  we
• 11:58
  can
• 11:58
  all
• 11:59
  argue
• 11:59
  about
• 12:01
  specific
• 12:02
  targeting
• 12:02
  calls
• 12:03
  that
• 12:03
  you
• 12:03
  think
• 12:03
  aren't
• 12:04
  fair
• 12:04
  or,
• 12:05
  you
• 12:05
  know,
• 12:05
  that
• 12:05
  it's
• 12:06
  a
• 12:06
  silly
• 12:06
  rule,
• 12:06
  I
• 12:06
  mean,
• 12:07
  to
• 12:07
  me,
• 12:07
  I'm
• 12:07
  all
• 12:07
  for
• 12:07
  it.
• 12:08
  And
• 12:09
  if
• 12:09
  we,
