00:00I gotta tell you, when I saw this story about Olave, I thought to myself, you know, speaking
00:09of guys that are finished, this guy, I mean, my God, how many concussions has he had?
00:18He's got to stop playing pro football.
00:19I mean, I don't, you know, I'm not, I am not one of these clowns that sits around listening
00:25to guys tell me how they're going to keep playing until they're dead when they have
00:30brain injuries.
00:32I just, you know, I don't understand it.
00:34I cannot believe that the league allows it.
00:37I think there should be a limit to how many you can have before you're, you can't play
00:42anymore.
00:43I just, this guy, you're telling me that he's had his fifth concussion.
00:48Every single time the guy gets hit now, he has a concussion and leaves the game.
00:53He needs to take a look at his life because it's, you know, ending before his very eyes.
00:59Yeah.
01:00He has had in his career now, he had one in 2020 when he was at Ohio state, he had 2022-2023
01:07with the Saints.
01:08And then this year alone, he was diagnosed with one October the 13th against the Bucks.
01:13He was evaluated for one on October the 27th against the Chargers.
01:17And then he left with that concussion this past Sunday, November the 3rd.
01:21So five and then two this year with one that they thought might've been one just this season
01:27in the past couple of months.
01:28Now the two of stuff I think gets more gas because he's a quarterback and of that scene
01:35with him on the ground a few years ago on the night game where, where this all, I think
01:40that was maybe his first or second one that he got.
01:43But you're right.
01:44Isn't there as much attention, let's just say, for Olave, who also now is on his fifth concussion.
01:52And it's a danger, you know, there should be as much, it should be everyone who gets
01:56five concussions.
01:57I get it.
01:58Maybe, you know, the quarterbacks get more gas, but that's serious stuff.
02:02And this was also brought on because of Michael Thomas saying that Derek Carr threw the ball
02:07in places that get them concussed.
02:09Only a couple of those concussions happened.
02:11Oh, wait a minute.
02:12All right.
02:13Now that changes everything.
02:15So you're telling me that his own teammate, is he not on that team anymore?
02:20Thomas isn't on the Saints anymore.
02:21That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, that the quarterback throws it to where he
02:25gets concussed.
02:26That makes no sense to me.
02:28Here's the reality of it.
02:29You cannot tell me that the NFL isn't talking about, and owners, and, and really, I think
02:37Roger Goodell, at some level, and their lawyers have to be looking at these brain injuries
02:43as a possible law in the league.
02:47They have to put a number on it.
02:49You know, bottom line, you have six of them, you're done.
02:52You're done.
02:53You can't play in the NFL because the NFL is a, you know, 30 mile an hour car crash
02:58league.
02:59It is the most violent league in this country, by far.
03:04It really is.
03:07Would you agree that it's the most violent?
03:08It's more violent than the NHL.
03:10I really think it is.
03:11I think the NHL has its fair share of brain injuries that they won't admit, but, you know,
03:17they are fighting still at some level.
03:20It's decreased dramatically, but the hitting is absurd.
03:24But really, it's not hitting like NFL hitting.
03:28And I'm telling you, the NFL at some point, because they've already lost one lawsuit with
03:33CTE, they're not going to be immune to more of them.
03:38I think that people that are getting brain injuries are going to start suing them, whether
03:42it's a civil suit or individually, and they're going to blame the NFL for not doing anything
03:49about it.
