Mike WahleGUEST
I don't have a lot of time for him.
Mike WahleGUEST
You know, I think about, to be honest, like you think about, When I was playing, I thought about Patrick Willis, Junior Seau.
Mike WahleGUEST
There's only Lance Briggs.
Mike WahleGUEST
There's only a handful of dudes where I was like, man, we've got to figure out what this dude is all the time.
Robert GalleryGUEST
Yeah, and that's the deal with the brain, right? Everyone's brain is so different.
Robert GalleryGUEST
So I tell in different speeches, right? You look at Junior Seau, who played 15 years in the NFL.
Robert GalleryGUEST
Everybody knows about Junior Seau.
Robert GalleryGUEST
And then everybody in Iowa or a lot of people know about Tyler Sass.
Robert GalleryGUEST
So Tyler played two or three years, I believe, in the league, right? When the studies came out of their brain, Tyler had a higher degree of CTE than Junior Seau, if I'm not mistaken.
Robert GalleryGUEST
Yeah.
Robert GalleryGUEST
And so it doesn't equate to years played or hits, right? Every brain is different and things happen for everyone different.
Petros PapadakisHOST
A lot of the Polynesian players came from Hawthorne or Lusinger High or Banning High School down in Wilmington.
Petros PapadakisHOST
The two greatest Polynesian players in USC history are Junior Seau, And Troy Polamalu.
Petros PapadakisHOST
There are three, only three pro footballers that are Polynesian in the Hall of Fame.
Petros PapadakisHOST
Junior, Troy, and Jets offensive lineman Kevin Mawe.
Steve SkinnerHOST
Yeah.
Steve SkinnerHOST
We like good football players like Junior Seau and Aaron Rodgers and Steve McNair.
Steve SkinnerHOST
We like players who get CT and then kill themselves.
Greg OrmeHOST
For the record.
Peter RosenbergHOST
Yeah.
Don La GrecaHOST
They really spread the wealth, or they got, you know, they got, like, a Junior Seau at the end of his career, you know, something like that.
Peter RosenbergHOST
They got bang for their buck a lot of times.
Don La GrecaHOST
You know, get, get Corey Dillon a- at a discount.
Dave WymanHOST
And so, yeah, I mean, every once in a while, I think certain guys, and especially if you're D-Law, you've been in the league for a long time, you go, okay, well, all right, you better get there, though.
Dave WymanHOST
And that's like, you know, Junior Seau was like that, and Rusty Tillman would always say, look, if you go under a block... then I've complained about this.
Dave WymanHOST
Going under blocks is very irresponsible because you're vacating your gap.
Dave WymanHOST
But if you go under, you better make a play.
Dave WymanHOST
If you can make a play, and that's what Junior Seau made a living on that.
Dave WymanHOST
I mean, he would always make the tackle, but it's very unsound.
Dave WymanHOST
But it's also, if you're a really good player...
Pete SouzaHOST
But they have a history that goes back to this team doctor.
Pete SouzaHOST
According to Ryan, plying Junior Seau with drugs and bad ideas and stuff.
Pete SouzaHOST
And that's why Junior kind of met the early demise he did.
Pete SouzaHOST
But...
Lou PellegrinoHOST
Um, I think the players, a lot of them feel like this is why we play the game, not to have brain damage, but to play at a high level and to play, uh, fast and, and tough.
Lou PellegrinoHOST
And, you know, you look at someone like a Junior Seau, you look at someone like a Dave Duerson, two names that, you know, some people are gonna go, "I remember them," and they ended up having CTE, and they ended up committing suicide.
Lou PellegrinoHOST
And it's just awful when you see these once great athletes that are shells of themselves, and-
Donny DeutschHOST
Yeah
