Not the worst.

Yeah, sugar.

And it's all over our culture, but it's widely accepted.

And the amount of inflammation that it brings to the brain.

And if you look at the overall numbers of NFL players who are playing, and again, this is not to minimize there are real guys who are going through real stuff that have taken a lot of head injuries.

But we also understand what we're signing up for.

No different than boxing.

No different than any of the other sports where...

You can have the same amount of head injury.

Now you get this repetitive injury with football and it's dangerous.

It's a dangerous sport.

Nobody's going to tell you anything differently.

I don't know how to reckon, you know, the choices and the decisions that you make when you step into that.

I guess you could make the choice and the decision not to play.

My son has followed suit.

I try to get him to play basketball.

um quite frankly i was like i don't know if you want it like if you don't want it like you got to be a different personality you got to be different you got to be a different cat you got to be a different cat but he insisted and he stayed on it and so is he that guy yeah yeah he's going to be that guy he's still got a lot of work to do he's going to be that guy but he's he's moved towards that but you know i look at myself i look at my brother i look at a lot of my friends who i played with and a lot of them are healthy

And so I think when we start to magnify a lot of the injuries, right, like if you started to magnify a lot of the plane accidents that are happening that we've seen like in the media, you might feel like every other plane is going down.

But overall, plane plane rides have been pretty safe when you look at the overall, you know, and especially look at the the the length of time that NFL players play in the NFL.

There's about two and a half years.
