I am Newie Scrugs combine starting today, 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.560 day to day today. And how about our guy Byron 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:56.600 Jones on Twitter yesterday, man basically saying, you know, because 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.960 it talks about the anniversary of his combine and the 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.760 great records he set coming to Dallas Cowboys first round pick. Basically, 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.400 at least the way I took it was. The tweet was, hey, guys, 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.480 I took a whole bunch of stuff and I put 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.200 in my body with I had and I got chronic 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.000 pain here. I love being an NFL play. But it 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.000 wasn't It wasn't something I would have done had I 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.480 known the long term effects. It sounded like he was 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.600 saying goodbye to the game. That's what it sounded like 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.000 to me. And I want to know what he's dealing 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:23.960 with it because he was always, you know, a healthy 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.160 young guy, super athletic, and for him to go out 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.600 there saying I can't run anymore, I can't jump anymore, 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.160 you know, that's that's surprising to me. And it was like, man, 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.560 what's going on down there in Miami and for him 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.440 to say, you know, all that wasn't worth it because 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.160 the man made a boat ton of money. I meant 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.560 put about the man contract and for a defensive back 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.000 in the NFL history, he's made a boat ton of money. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:46.480 And for him to say, you know what, all that 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.000 money isn't worth it, he's got to be dealing with something, 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:50.400 you know, it gott to be dealing with something. What 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.560 you said, bro, it's what you said last week. And 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.920 when we see people tweet about all the time, when 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.600 you talk about when free agency comes up and when 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.600 they start talking about those contract tops, they they always 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.920 leave out what we ask you to do when you 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.040 was hurt. Right, you're a warrior. Right, you're a warrior. 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:07.840 You going out there and you're playing with the injury. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.679 But then when it comes time to get that check, 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.240 and when when it's like, hey, man, so what you're 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.280 gonna pay me for me going out there being a warrior? 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.480 And they're like, now, I don't know, man. You take 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.280 your tikes lord than you was last year, your tis 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.240 lord than you was year before that and that. But 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.440 that's what happens. Guys in their mind, they believe that 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.160 the team is gonna look out for him, and they 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.200 go out there and risk everything. Right, So when Byron 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.639 Jones is going out there playing hurt, getting those shots 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.560 that you take the to numb up a pain or 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.160 taking a toward all or whatever, he's saying, Man, it 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.760 wasn't worth. At the end of the day, I wish 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.520 I would have just set out because if you look 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.080 at I mean, how many times did we go out 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.560 there because we thought, man, if we don't if we 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.520 don't shoot up this week, so we may not even 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.800 be on the team next week. So how many times 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.680 every week, every week battling the high ankle sprains, broken 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.560 foe arms, all types of stuff because we don't know 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.320 if we're gonna be there next week. So you take 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.680 those shots, you take those pills, and you don't really 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.400 understand the time you're sitting there like Ahi, Man, I 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:00.840 just want to get through the game. I'm thinking about 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.160 the right now. I just want to get through this game. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.200 But you don't think about, you know, the ramifications of 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.440 what can happen when you take that stuff years down 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.360 the line. And that's what I believe Baron Jones is 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.000 talking about. I think it's fair enough to say that. 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.640 You're not even mature enough to understand it. At that point. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.719 You're not even twenty two, twenty three years old. Ain't 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.320 nobody that most of the people who are at that 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.919 age are not thinking about Oh man, when I'm settled 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.080 down with wife and kids and they five and six 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.360 seven years old and I'm taking the school, I'm thirty eight, 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.200 and all of a sudden, oh, my back might be 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.800 hurt and I'm not gonna be able to do what 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.640 I what I'm doing now, you're not thinking about that. 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.000 When you're twenty two, you like, man, I'm trying to 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.520 make this money so I can make sure I'm straight 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.640 when I when I get there. And then you get 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.039 thirty five, thirty six, you're like, oh man, man, yeah, 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.680 I'm tights hurt, but not ten years off my old 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.080 my life play in the game really start to one 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.400 of those. Especially see the news stories about CTE and 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:49.880 this and that and that, you're like, oh, man, I 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.840 don't know, I don't know. Once you get older you 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.040 start to kind of understand that. But when you're young, 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.200 you're like, yeah, no, I'm good. I just starting man. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:02.440 A couple of plays. No, I love hearing what you 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.840 guys have to say about this. It was it was 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.880 sad to me to hear that from from Barron Jones, 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.400 especially a guy that, like you said, he's made a 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.960 boatload of money in the NFL, and you know the 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.160 tweet saying, you know, look, I can't run our jump, 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.400 and you you think about that broad jump that he 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.640 had in to comebine and they pretty much put him 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:24.000 on the map that broad jump, did you know? Look, man, 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.080 I just look at you. Guys are talking about your 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:30.400 personal experiences and having to take those chances because your 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.320 livelihood is at stake. So many guys every Sunday doing 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.520 the same thing and thinking about the next paycheck and 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.000 then thinking about taking care of so many people they 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.760 ain't just taking care of, you know. It's a lot 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.800 of people depending on that buried church check, you know. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.719 And at the end of the day, when you see 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.200 these guys after their careers and they're not able to walk, 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:51.960 I mean, I just think about the Great Earl Campbell, 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.000 you know, the Great Earl Campbell has to have a 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.520 golf car everywhere he goes because hip's gone. He's gone, 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.800 you know, And so many of these guys they get 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.240 the gold jacket that get all the fame and all 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:03.760 those things that come with it. But they have to 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:05.839 have someone helped them to the bathroom. They have to 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.360 have someone helped them take that. Let me look all 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.160 of those things. People I think on the outside just 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.640 only see the money aspect of and that's how they 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.120 look at Parron Jones. I would have made a moment 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.160 out of took the shot too. But if that meant 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.880 your quality of life, you know, you know, being able 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.599 to be there for your children, being able to you know, 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.600 walk your children down the aisle, you know. Um and 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.320 though all of that is relative, and and again I 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.920 just don't take When I saw that tweet, uh new, 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.000 it just broke my heart because you know what kind 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.000 of young man Byron Jones is and what kind of 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.200 family he comes from. You know, he's a proud guy. 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.560 This is this is why you get the respect from 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.640 a guy like Mike Tomlin when he goes on Ryan 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.640 Clark's podcast and he says, my number one job is 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.080 to make sure that I take care of you as 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.440 a player and as a young man. And he's speaking 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.520 about when he Ryan Clark out when they went up 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.440 there to play and different knowing that he had the 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:03.120 sum I just think you need more coaches, more gems, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.760 more owners that are like that so players don't feel 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.560 that pressure to go out there and risk that type 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.440 of stuff when they plan right now. I know it's 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.040 hard for you to give somebody that type of comfort 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:13.480 to say, man, no matter what happened, you're gonna be 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.240 all right. But players, it's something to some extent need 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.200 to feel that way versus how Byron Jones feels about 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.040 how he feels about it. Because, believe it or not, 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.800 this is going to have a big effect on parents 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.520 when they say, hey, man, do should I let my 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.920 son play? One thing about Mike Thomas, he works for 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.920 organization that will not fire him. And if you're if 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.120 you're coaching out there, you know there's gonna be some 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:41.080 folks who think about themselves in that aspect. Here's Bayern's tweet, 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.680 just so we make sure this is what he said 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.520 exactly his words. Much is changed in eight years today. 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.920 I can't run or jump because of my injuries sustained 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:55.160 playing this game. Do not take the pills they give you, 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.720 Do not take the injections they give you. If you 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:04.160 absolutely must, consultant outside doctor to learn the long term implications. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.880 Then in a second tweet, he says, it was an 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.160 honor and a privilege to play in the NFL, but 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.200 it came at a regrettable cost I did not foresee. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.400 In my opinion, no amount of professional success or financial 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:21.120 gain is worth avoidable chronic pain and disabilities. God speed 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.960 to the class of twenty twenty three. And that tweet 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:31.760 spun from an NFL cartoon that said, Byron Jones jump 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.560 the equivalent of two twenty five in many coopers in 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.160 twelve feet twelve inches. It says the too many coopers 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.800 are eleven feet six inches and they called him mister 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.880 broad jone and his tweet got over four hundred comments, 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.200 and the second one got over three hundred and sixty 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.720 four comments, And of course, as you could imagine, some 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.600 of them were of the ignorant taste of people saying 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:59.080 I work a job in my back hurts, or people 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.480 who compare themselves players, which I always laugh at because 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.480 you're not a player. You don't know how it's tough. Man. 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.240 It's because they don't. You don't see that when you're 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.240 coming in the league. All you see is the the 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.800 glitz and glamor man, if i'd go here first round, 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.880 I get this pipe of money. I get that they 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.160 don't really tell you about the you know, the side 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.000 effects or the downside of playing the NFL. I mean, 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.160 I think it was a stat if you play something, 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.320 you knocking off stuff. Yeah, I mean you're liking a 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.840 car collision every time you go into a big time hitting. 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.840 I mean, you're hitting three hundred pounders as a safety 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.520 or a corner, and it's just it's gonna wear on 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.640 your body. But they don't tell you those type of things. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.480 And like you said earlier, as a young man, you 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.480 don't really think about those things. You're thinking, man, look 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.040 I'm invincible. I'm in the prime of my life. I'm healthy, 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.959 I can do anything. And you go out there and 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:45.400 you're running in those cats eeaching every day. I was like, okay, 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:49.679 when sixty five, right, sixty five, I think, y'all take 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.800 sixty five. I take sixty five. I supposed to be 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.079 saving me two sixty five by time I play. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:55.839 I'm all right, I'm all right, all right. You look 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.840 like but you don't understand it though you ain't got 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.480 no kids and grand kids. You ain't looking at that 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.760 type of stuff. Heck, what do you see from from 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.960 your from your uncle Joe Green, I mean all those 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.360 you know, he played with so many great players and 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.920 they would always come and visit him. And recently we 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.120 you know, we saw some Frank o' harris passed away, 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.080 and he's lost so many of his teammates on the 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.080 D line. And when you spoke about, you know, seeing 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.400 Earl Campbell, I remember being at that first charity function 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.160 he had for the scholarship, and it'd been a while 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.839 since I saw Earl. It was just it hurt when 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.600 you see Tony Dorsett and you talk for toking, I 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.080 mean for me, you know, because you got Danny. You 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.240 guys were younger, but those were guys we grew We 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.400 grew up watching these these This was what turned us 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:40.160 into NFL fans. Yeah, double hip replacement, double knee replacements, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.280 you know, just not being able to get around good 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.840 at all. You know, it's just head. He played a 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.880 tremendous price, uh to play the game of football, and 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.360 so many guys do. And you look at today and 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:52.839 I know we were talking about this because of the 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.720 combine and obviously the statement that Byron Jones made and 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.439 and look, you guys played this game and had to 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.960 deal with all of those injuries, take those shots, go 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.960 through all of that pain to be able to put 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:05.880 a helmet on and go out there and earn a paycheck. 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:07.880 A lot of guys don't have to go through that. 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:09.880 And even when you look at the guys that have 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.280 all of the fame and all of the Hall of 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.440 Fame and all of that, there's still a price that 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.840 has to be paid. It up matter what level that 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:18.920 you played at, right, And that's why I think there's 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.679 so much respect amongst players that I and I love 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.040 the camaraderie and the fraternity of the players because they 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.959 show each other that love based off of that sacrifice, 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:29.960 because you know what it took to play the game 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.240 each and every week. And so look, man, I ain't 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.040 gonna see it in lie till you Man, My life 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.120 is so much better because Monca played in the league, Okay, 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.560 you know, And when I look at those drafts and 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.679 I see those guys being drafted, I understand that depending 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.080 on where they came from. Man, that's a mother that's 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.199 making it out. That's a father that's making it out 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.959 from a situation, and you have the tom Ronaldi music 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.440 in the bagging. You know, somebody's gonna make you cry 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.760 because it's some of these stories are really hard to 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.920 listen to. But guys are overcoming a lot to end 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.319 up playing in the league. Don't ever wanted to end 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.400 where a guy is saying I can't run a jump today. 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.480 And so when you see a guy like was it Megatroun, 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.600 well he stepped away from the games, Like look at 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.280 my health. You know there are other guys that have 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.320 stepped away from the games. His look then my health. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.200 Someone on the outside, I can't understand. How do you 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.520 turn down twenty million dollars? I know, I don't. I 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.560 don't like. I don't know how you do it. But 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.840 when it comes down to that, and God's recognize his look, 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.520 I got enough money, I can retire. I'm good. You 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.560 know you gotta respect that. And I think when I 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.920 see Byron Jones have his perspective and say what he 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.320 just said, it's just heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking because I understand 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.400 what this game has done for me and so many 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.040 of my cousins that got went to nursing school, got 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:42.280 real estate licenses and owned businesses because they got that 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:48.800 that interest free. So it's a lot to it man. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.680 So it's it's a double less sward man. But you know, 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:53.920 it really is heartbreaking to hear what you just read. 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.400 I will say this man. Hopefully, you know, with a 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.960 younger guy like Byron coming out talking about his health 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.080 issues and all that other suff of it'll get when 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.360 the next CBA comes around. Hopefully these younger guys will, 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.360 instead of voting to be able to you know, do 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.320 stuff outside of the football facility, the vote for health 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.320 insurance and making sure these guys get lifetime health insurance 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.520 like that's something and I get it. These guys are 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.480 young and not thinking about that right now. They're not 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:21.480 thinking about that right now. Insurance thinking about it. Man. 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.760 Hopefully with younger guys coming up, saying that type of 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.480 stuff you know, don't get through to these young casts. 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.600 But how much how much health and health playing your 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.640 two retirements? For me, it was it was probably about 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:36.080 seventy percent. I mean after Achilles for back surgery. I 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.080 mean it's shoulder surgery. My whole right side, it's just 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.839 you know, surgery up. So I was getting out of 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.480 the bed, man, ankles swollen, toes, hurting, and then I 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.560 got to the point where I was like, man, is it. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.960 I started thinking to myself while I was in Jacksonville, 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.400 sitting on the bed at five o'clock in the morning, like, Man, 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.160 do I really want to go in here and hear 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.000 what these coaches gotta say? Do I really want to 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.400 go out there and practice? I go there, and it 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.200 just I just didn't have that love for the game 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.520 no more. And you know, I started thinking to myself, Man, 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.360 I just just doesn't this isn't for me right now, 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.600 and I slowed down. You know, I wasn't athletic, athletic 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.760 as I was when I first came in, but a 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.079 lot of that I had to do with health. Man, 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.800 what was real? Thank for mine, I'm gonna probably eighty 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:16.360 five ninety playing special teams high ankle sprains. When the 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.440 hamstrings started to hit me, that's that's when it was. 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.240 That's when you start getting slower for real. And then 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.240 it's hard for you to get over tendnitus and getting 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.560 your knee drained and having hip pointers and all that stuff. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.000 And also you're like, man, I didn't even realize I 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.120 was slower than I was. And then you start to 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.800 watch you like, okay, all right. You can work out 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:34.760 as much as you want to, you can eat as 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.520 good as you want to, and you cannot negate some 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.440 of those injuries and some of those effects that you 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.880 have when you playing the game. So all those injuries 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.280 sure didn't stop your appetite, dog because you definitely Yeah, 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.280 we shared a steak, Let me share.
