T. J. Ward

So don't say he missed it and he, how he can't crack.

Matter of fact, T.J. Ward, uh, he's re- he's retired.

He was like, he hopped on, uh, [clicks tongue] Emmanuel Acho's podcast.

I'm not gonna say his name 'cause who cares about Emmanuel? Emmanuel Acho.

I could see that in a Super Bowl.

TJ Ward was pretty close to that.

I would love a bet on Talanoa Funga to drop an interception.

Nice, dude.

We got games plans.

We got TJ Ward coming on.

It's going to be big time here on Wake Up Barstool.

So grab a coffee and lock in for our two.

I viewed it more as kind of society's response to these people who are clearly dealing with CTE and how little we care about these people.

Like, you want people to take CTE more seriously, TJ Ward.

My challenge to you would be have the NFL take CTE more seriously.

Have your fellow colleagues take CTE more seriously.

So that's what I lead my shows with and stuff, and that's what the guys on Speak Easy do.

So when I'm talking about, like, oh, do they lead the show? Will they talk about this? Will they make it? Will they laugh? And they may be.

like i don't mean that to like challenge them or make make it seem like the show was any less because they were doing that or if they were doing that i'm saying that to to highlight this tj ward highlight to those who may agree with him why what he says is true why people make fun of cte and not cancer and not whatever you know why because we we take cancer very seriously in america we take The people who have cancer, the people who advocate for researching cancer, they take this crap very seriously.

AIDS, ALS, all the ailments that they mention, dementia.

I think he's going to be... one of, if not the best safety that Oregon has had in a long, long time.

And I think Javon Holland level, TJ Ward level, that type of safety for them.

So if we can see big games from them, I'm going to be like, okay, this is a legit defense that can win this team a championship.

That's what I'm looking for.
