Ryan Leaf is very good at this TV stuff. He’s way better at this than many ex players.
RG3 (cough)
@@prezadent1 I agree RG3 is very good as well
@@ronaldwilson9525 noooo, I was agreeing that Ryan is way better than ex player RG3.
Really cool seeing Ryan Leaf doing well.
Somehow, out of everything that comes out of this league, this one feels extra disgusting to me
If your product kills, you'd find a way to ensure it doesn't. Whether it's now or a decade from now. Disgusting how they treated it all and continue to do so.
This was really good. Well done Ryan. The NFL is so disgusting and needs to be called out like this more often by big voices. Nothing else will change it
When it comes right down to it, players have short careers, all but the top players, sacrifice their health with little real income… and line the pockets of oligarchs.
As someone who dealt with the opiod epidemic and have been seperated from it for 10 years now, and having been recently diagnosed with the early signs of an essential tremor. This really resonated with me. Thanks for the honesty Ryan. You have a lot of supporters
Leaf has found his gift
What sucks is insurance companies control our future and our quality of life
Well said Ryan. Glad you caught it early. That's half the battle. God luck, & God Bless.
Getting that settlement money is not easy for any former NFL player, but as usual we find it's even harder for the Black players.
Ryan Leaf has become a real mensch. I'm so proud of how much he has grown and has dealt with his demons. He is an inspiration to us all.
Very good information Leaf, awesome stuff.
Awesome segment, great guest host
Dude, always thought RL was dead or lost to the either. New to listening and seeing you. Oh, F Ya, It is so Awesome seeing you kill it. You are an inspiration
Keep it up.
I remember listening to leaf once while in the car (not knowing who it was) and thinking, "this guy knows his stuff" then being shocked to learn it was Leaf, who I'd always assumed was just a knucklehead.
Drugs and alcohol can make a good person nasty
I apprecite his honesty. Thanks man.
I appreciate the sharing Ryan
I did catch “abstract poverty” tho :) I think you meant “abject”
Thx for speaking about CTE
Very important issue 👏
I stopped watching football for a few years when the CTE thing was coming to light. I get it he may not be into conspiracies, if the NFL didn't know about CTE that's one thing. The disgusting part was them hiding it, burying it, and denying it exists. The way they treated the players, their families, and doctors was criminal.
Me too, man. Still kinda uneasy about supporting the product in any way beyond catching regular season highlights and playoff games :/
Just say it Ryan, the NFL thinks black players were stupid before they got CTE? That is why there test scores did not move much after the fact.
Not that kind of test.
@@codacreator6162 "The 2020 lawsuit unearthed the fact that the dementia tests were being "race-normed" -- adjusted due to assumptions that Black people have a lower cognitive baseline score."
I... uh... think it was that kind of test
Correct. Their claim was black players base intelligence was lower therefore making it harder or impossible to claim they have cognitive damage.
Or it's what Urlacher said and alot of players who don't have it file the claim
@@joemcclellan8115 But it's not that in this case. The NFL admitted there was a mistake and paid out a settlement because of it. It WAS the fact that they underscored some black players (for certain, possibly all) to put them at a baseline lower than what their actual cognitive ability is. Urlacher can be correct and say people try to abuse the system, the same as people do in every other aspect of life, but this isn't an either or. It was admitted that this was done and it's not just a case of people making false claims.
NFL really blew this one.
This was a truly great video, clearly from the heart by Ryan. The racist "cognitive correction" that was used against Black players was not just wrong, it was literally evil.
I have one tiny quibble - What Kraft did was not a coerced event, and that we even know about it was from an illegal video taping by a rogue police sting. Please don't equate that with some of the other, more valid comparisons to Watson's acts.
To a certain extent, the NFL needs to take care of their players for life..they have the resources.
Thanks for calling this “bias” out. Seriously . . . Thanks
I didn't even know that was Ryan leaf. Good for him
I’d like to know where they got the info to do this in the first place. How did they come up with rating them differently? That just sounds crazy. Who the hell would come up with this and think it would pass the smell test? Sounds insane.
I played for 10 years. Didn't get pro but played hard, was told lead with the head. I have 5 concussions that I know of or can recall.
This is a conversation that scares me but I find it fascinating and helpful.
Damn, man..
Ryan Leaf has $20million net worth.
Rich you gotta fix the typo in the title of the vid. Who let that through
I played years of football I'm 36 and dealing with insomnia memory loss. Mood swings
RIP Daniel Te’o-Nesheim
Antonio Brown?
That's what I've been thinking when all the wild behavior unfolded. He was a relatively average guy until that vicious hit by Vontaze Burficy
@@blackfootedferret This is one of the strange things from the NFL. The helmet and body armor are for protection but if i compare it with Rugby there is a very different way of tackling between the two sports. My conclusion is that they should look more towards the cause so that the helmet goes back to a protective measure and not something to use as a battering ram.
@@mikedebruyn yeah, agreed. The goal for defenders isn't "knock you down", it's "knock you out" They are glorified for big hits.
100%
As the movie has said, if the brain itself isn't surrounded by padding (like the woodpecker), no helmet will stop the damage.. The brain still moves inside the skull
full disclosure.. tell the players what could happen ..
Teflonicity? 🤔
Teflonity?
Teflonatical?
@@tonyibraham5931 Teflonishness?

English majors...
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
BLESS YOU SIR. RYAN KEEP SHAMING THE DEVIL/ NFL. HAS TO BE LIABLE FOR THERE LIES. GREAT TO SEE YOU DOING AWESOME AGAIN. LUV FROM CANADA.
👏
Ryan Leaf was an absolutely f*cking loser & he genuinely redeemed himself. I'm glad he got his sh*t together, much respect to him.
Ryan’s good he seems like he could have been good maybe even too 2 pick definitely wouldn’t have been a bust
You know. Some of us are an acception to the rule. We somehow show what is to be so right......to be so wrong in some circumstances
The NFL is disgusting.
How were the tests biases against non-white players?
I think the suggestion was that former black players were already inherently cognitively deficient to a degree, and therefore symptoms of CTE were suggested to be merely an indication of pre-existing mental deficiency, rather than a result of repeated head trauma.
The most disgusting thing the NFL has ever done.
CTE is very very fishy
Racism everywhere!!! Give me a break
INCOMING TRIGGERED TRUMP SUPPORTERS
Imagine getting to sue someone because what you knew could happen to you did happen to you. What moron doesn’t know repeated blows to the head is bad? When I was little and bonked my head I realized that’s not a good thing. Every single person that’s every played football has known this game can turn your brain into tapioca. They wanted to make the millions of dollars and be famous, they took the risk. Your choices are not other peoples responsibility.
Cry
That's not what this lawsuit is about. At all
I disagree with most but not all of it. I'm guessing 95% +/- NFL players were smashing helmets from peewee, HS and college. To say the NFL is responsible for not reminding grown men that it's unhealthy for 2 enormous humans to crash head first into each other repeatedly is ridiculous.
Now... If the NFL or teams knew certain players had head injuries and allowed them to keep playing, that's a different story.
Happens all the time. Ever watched the NFL?
Tefloness - not a real word
It is now.
Here's another new word for you - etymology
Interesting story, but this guy was a world class meathead before the NFL. Did CTE in the college ranks cause that? Who knows...
Stop speaking for black Americans. No body gets what they deserve m they have to earn it. Maybe stop buying gold chains and diamond rings. Lacs and expensive shoes.
Ryan’s fine and he fills in good I guess but all he does is talk about himself. all he does. I could never, don’t ever want to talk about myself that much….idc if you’re framing it “oh I’m being transparent to help someone else” blah blah
You just talked about yourself with the implication that you are superior because you don't talk about yourself. Yay, irony is still alive!
@@brushstroke3733 nice try dude….everyone talks about themselves. It’s damn near unavoidable. we all know people that seem to do it well above the norm and it does get annoying and can def make you wonder about them. it’s alittle pathetic that you had to go to the ultimate extreme to try to prove a point which usually means you don’t have much of a point at all
@@buddysteele7624 Is that so? What about your video titled "Buddy Unscripted"? No one likes being shown they are a hypocrite, but everyone is, so don't get too worked up about it. Just be more aware of yourself when you are critical of others. Now, how is that extreme?
I saw a video of Buddy talking about his life for 40 min and went into a boring coma.
Tired of the CTE stuff. Everyone makes decisions with their bodies and careers. Money and fame for quality of extended lofe
I'm tired of that war stuff. Who cares who invades who. And I'm tired of that polution stuff. Who cares what's in the water I drink. And I'm tired of that law stuff. Who care who shoots who.
Yeah. I guess you're tired of that thinking stuff. CTE will do that to you...
Found the Trump loving America hating traitor
Hopefully you get it Erik.
All NFL players got cte. From highschool to nfl that’s enough damage
