You 63 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: know NFL players, you know going through health issues. I 64 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 3: know a lot of former players. I've been covering the league. 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,279 Speaker 1: Since when eighty seven. 66 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 3: Nineteen eighty seven, so I know a lot of former players, 67 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: and a lot of them you know, struggle with you know, 68 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: day to day stuff, playing with their kids. You know, 69 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: aches and pains and headaches, and you know a lot 70 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: of former NFL players drop dead at fifty five, a 71 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: lot just you know, Junior said, I had an unbelievable 72 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame football career, you know, committed suicide. Just 73 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: couldn't take it anymore of the pain apparently, you know, 74 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 3: or whatever he was going through mental anguish and the 75 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: pain and all that and apparently took his life right. 76 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 4: And there's there's just a lot of stories out there. 77 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: But so let's let's yeah, I'm gonna say, let's add 78 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: on to what you're saying. So I'll throw all some 79 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: numbers in just to kind of act to it. So 80 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: there was a survey that was conducted conducted by ESPN 81 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: and an independent health policy research, polling and news organization 82 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: KFA KFF, and so this was this was interesting. First 83 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: of all, this is the first major survey done rob 84 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: that was separate for the NFL or NFLPA, because usually 85 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: it's one of the other. And obviously when you getting 86 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: out you kind. 87 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 3: Of which is probably good to do it independent and 88 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: not where they feel like, can I really be honest 89 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 3: if I say something is going to come back to 90 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: bite me? 91 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 4: You know, things like that. 92 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: So this was different, it was independent and one of 93 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: the biggest ones ever done by this So this is 94 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: actually and it's unique what they did. So they took 95 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: a year. They said, let's do the year nineteen ninety eight, 96 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: and they took five hundred and forty six men who 97 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: could play football in the NFL in nineteen ninety eight, 98 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 1: with the average age putting them around sixty two years old. 99 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: So that was a third of the players in the 100 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: NFL at that time. And so you were just talking 101 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: about some of the things they found. Here's some of 102 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: the significant things they found. Of all the ex players 103 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: that they interviewed, I'm just throw some stuff out. Sixty 104 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: percent reported that they are living with some type of disability, 105 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: including difficulty walking or climbing stairs, dressing, or bathing, three 106 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: times the rate of men their age who did not 107 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: play in the NFL. Fifteen percent of the players said 108 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: the doctor had diagnosed them with dementia. And there's another 109 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: study that shows only four percent of men around their 110 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: age should be having dimension. 111 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: Now I was gonna say not at that age, not 112 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 3: at that point. That's very on earth. We set yes 113 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: early yep. Okay, here's another one. 114 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: You just mentioned about half a player said that if 115 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: this is a big one, felt depressed in the past 116 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: twelve months, compared to a quarter of men between the 117 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: ages of fifty five to seventy five. So you only 118 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: got twenty five percent of normal men fifty five to 119 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: seventy They got half the players who did this. So 120 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: there's just a bunch of stuff they talk about, obviously, 121 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, having pain, having had just difficulties playing 122 00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: with their kids, a grand kid. 123 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:00,559 Speaker 4: Yep. 124 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: But here's after all that being said, nine out of 125 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: ten X players said they would make the same decision 126 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: to play pro football. Even among the players who said 127 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: the NFL had a negative effect on both their physical 128 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: health and mental well being, seventy eight percent said they 129 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: would decide to play again. And the unofficial Kelvin Washington 130 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: pole has had batting at one hundred percent, including guys 131 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: who we work with all the time, Ephraim and Carrie Rhoads. 132 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: Most recently I've asked, they said that one thousand percent 133 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: would do it again, and everybody else I've ever asked, 134 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: which the poll is probably up anywhere between twenty and 135 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: thirty players that I've sat down personally and said, hey, man, 136 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: would you do it again? Not a single one has 137 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: said no. And as you mentioned, some got issues, some 138 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: are struggling walking, Some are kind of questioning their cognitive 139 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: mental health right now. But they all said, rob they 140 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: do it again. It changed their life, change the trajectory 141 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: of their lives, the children lives and in some cases 142 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: their children children. 143 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: Not everybody. Everybody, no, No. I think that's a fact. 144 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 3: That's a misnomer that everybody playing in the NFL is 145 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 3: rich and have generational wealth. 146 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 4: That is not true. 147 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: Sixty percent of the league, those guys are bankrupt after 148 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: three years of leaving sixty percent. 149 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 4: Here's my point. 150 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: I don't believe in I don't believe those guys, and 151 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: I understand it. They don't want to feel like they 152 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: did something dumb. They don't want to feel like their 153 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: life was in vain, So they are going to stick 154 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 3: up for this thing, even though it caused them pain 155 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: and whatnot, because it's more macho to say that. To 156 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 3: now say I wish you had in play kind of 157 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: sounds sappy and soft and what's wrong with you? And 158 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: I think that they aren't being honest. If they could, 159 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: if you could give them an alternative, that they could 160 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 3: have done something else and still made a living, and 161 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 3: that is the choice. You see what I'm saying, Because 162 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: that's all they knew was to make a living. So 163 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: if you take that away from them, or their identity 164 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: or their celebrity or who they were, I understand why 165 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 3: they say they would still do it. But I don't 166 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: believe it, all things being equal, that they could have 167 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: done something else, you know what I mean, that was 168 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 3: on par with that and still made a living for 169 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: their family. I don't believe that they would. And that's 170 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 3: that's really the question. 171 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 4: Do you do? You see what I'm saying, Like because 172 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 4: when you say. 173 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: But Rob, that's the I totally get what you're saying. 174 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: But here's where I disagree. Because of the semantic. That's 175 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: why I think so many would do it. Nothing else 176 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: afforded me the lore, the crowd, what else? When you 177 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: hear them talk about it, things I've heard over the years, 178 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: what else gave me one hundred plus thousand?

That's 180 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: why a lot of them say it's hard, like I 181 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: missed the roar of the crowd. 182 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: But what's the average, what's the average what's the average 183 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: career in the NFL. 184 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: Three and a half years. But but again, you got 185 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: to go back to college football. If you made it 186 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: to that mean you played college football, then you got 187 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: to the pros.

A lot of them 233 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: would have never afforded to go to Alabama, Michigan, Ohio, State, Texas. 234 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 3: No. 235 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,599 Speaker 1: But I just think that I agree that's portion of 236 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: it they don't want. It was all worth it when 237 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: I look at it. My life was grand, I did think. 238 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: And I'll just read other things from this poll. Some 239 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: of them talked about how they I got to travel 240 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: the world in a way I never would. I got 241 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: to meet people I never would. I got to meet 242 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: people from different backgrounds. Had I never left my small 243 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: town of you know, small town Ohio. 244 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: But I'm giving you, like, if you gave them the 245 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: option of having a similar life but not with the 246 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 3: health afflictions that come with football, would they have taken 247 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: because it can't be. I'm on them in the NFL 248 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 3: and I made four hundred thousand dollars and now I 249 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 3: was a celebrity and you're working at Walmart. Yes, I 250 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: get that they're not going to accept or take that job. 251 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 3: But a similar life without the football banging heads and 252 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 3: the injuries and what they're dealing with. That's what I'm 253 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 3: talking about. And here's the other one. Muhammad Ali is 254 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 3: a perfect example. If you go back and say, man, 255 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 3: can you would you stop doing the ropodope? 256 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 4: That guy was the most glib alive. 257 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: Right with it smart, I just I mean him and 258 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: how go back and watch those things him and Howard 259 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: Kosel back in the day, and and he was it 260 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 3: turned into what to mush right, turned into mush I 261 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: can't and and sure he'ld say yay, Muhammed Ali, I'm 262 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 3: the greatest, and this and that and box him. But 263 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 3: I don't believe if you were given something similar without 264 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 3: having to deal with that, you would accept that or 265 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 3: pick that. 266 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 4: That's That's what I'm talking I don't. 267 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: And I think in a utopian, perfect world, I get 268 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: with your same where I would disagree. And I think 269 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali, God blessed dead, the great one, I think 270 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: the greatest. I think he would say that was part 271 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: of like going through those battles with Joe Frazier is 272 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: also what maybe Muhammad Ali because I did something, you know, 273 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: and and uh and also George Foreman, right, I'm taking 274 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: those punches from George Foreman. That's what made it a maze. 275 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: For fourteen rounds of my head beat in. Everyone thinks 276 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm about to lose to this young, huge, massive, strong guy, 277 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: and I did that, and it's epic and it's a 278 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: story that will last in sports for history. And I 279 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: think that's why for some people they go, listen, we 280 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: get one life to live, and I did something I 281 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: wanted to do. I fulfill the dream of passion, and 282 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: I did something most like one point zero zero zero 283 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: one percent of humans get to do. And I'll never 284 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: forget the camaraderie. The fans, They'll just that, and I 285 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: think it's hard to sell them on that. Now. What's interesting, 286 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: many of them who I have talked to personally, friends, 287 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: you know, half of them have all say I don't 288 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: want my son to play though, or I won't let 289 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: him play until he's in high school, where obviously at 290 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,119 Speaker 1: that point is he's older to do whatever he wants because. 291 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: They know, they know the dangers and they don't want 292 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 3: their kids to be a part of that. Let me 293 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 3: throw out the number I'm interested to hear this eight 294 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 3: seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven, nine, nine. 295 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 4: Six, sixty three sixty nine. 296 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: Do you believe these retired NFL players would do it 297 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 3: all over again? Or are they just trying to convince 298 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 3: themselves that these chronic injuries weren't done in vain, because 299 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 3: that's what I think it is. They don't want to 300 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 3: admit that they did this stuff in vain. We'll continue 301 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: this conversation next with you.

Things but aside from, that because if the 591 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 8: WAY i look at it is, this is that the reason? 592 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 8: Why and mind, you there's a different mindset about. This 593 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 8: the WAY i look at it pre the big money in. 594 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 8: Sports like pre the big money in sports is about 595 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 8: the love of the game and all of this.
