    This was a great video. Shoutout to Sweet for being a good podcast host too. He lets them boys talk instead of being ignorant just to get a word in. And then he asks good questions from the perspective of someone who didn't play in the NFL, like the rest of us viewers. Keep up the good work fellas

    Respect to Byron Jones for being honest to the realities of being NFL player.
    Team doctors/trainers should be making decisions for the longterm health & success of the players.
    Players have to feel comfortable that the health professionals around them has their interests at mind & the organization interests.
    That includes informed consent over all treatment possibilities.
    Example taking this shot can get you back in the game but slow the recovery process & have you out longer.
    This is why the player union & CBA exist.

    a metaphor for alex... i drove a truck for a company that let their trucks go... i have to stop for a d.o.t. spot inspection, the cop notes some defects with the truck, i'm like, "i told them about that but they won't fix it." cop is like, "you can refuse to drive it if they don't fix it." me, "you know what they would do? fire me and find someone else to drive this broken truck." i asked him for a favor, to write the ticket to the company and not me... he did.

    Man wanna know how I figured out nfl/ncaa players was gettin high or takin pills before games? High school football, smokin blunts w starters before the game, seein them pop vikes (before percs became the thing) before games and at halftime, like it at first blew my mind then not even a cple yrs later and you start hearin about toradol and players comin out tellin they stories….if u was on a public HS football and weren’t naive, you got the picture almost right away.

    As a 27 year old man who had dreams of going to the NFL as a kid/young adult, I knew all the risks of playing & would’ve gladly given up future health for an opportunity to play in the league. These players know the risk that comes with playing this sport. I’m glad they’re taking the precautions and changing the rules to help the players and make it more safe, but these guy ls don’t care and will gladly risk it for the biscuit lol

Even though it’s scripted but the injuries and toll it takes your body is very real.

    Dirk Nowitzki also notoriously has severe mobility issues due to his knee problems in the league so this def a multisport issue but obviously diff sports have diff nuances for example contact sports are gonna give you way more injuries or if you're NBA tall (not likely in other sports) your body is gonna have issues period even if you don't play a sport purely off the strength of you being tall as hell and the mechanics required to get ya ass around lol but yeah shit all the way fucked up and all sports need to take much better care of their players cause even if you look at it from an evil sterile robot economic standpoint it still makes sense that the better you treat your "commodity" the better it performs lol idk what's so hard bout that for folk fr
