00:00Boy, you know, Dean Spano said it perfectly, the owner of the Chargers, to know Billy Ray is to love
00:06Billy Ray, one of the truly great people that really played in our league and really one of the truly
00:11great men and an impact guy in San Diego.
00:15Yeah, it really was such a sad, sad story. And as you know, Dan, there's innumerable examples of guys that
00:27are going through this exact same thing that Billy Ray went down with. And it's really sad. And it's something
00:35that, you know, unfortunately, you know, the league has done a really good job of kind of squashing.
00:44That connection between football and, you know, dementia and early onset Alzheimer's and CTE and everything else. It's like, you
00:54know, you want to get booted out of the NFL family, talk a lot about those subjects. But just another
01:01reminder. And unfortunately, it's been happening way too often. I mean, Billy Ray was a high profile example.
01:09But we don't go a week without an example or two of guys that are either been diagnosed, think they
01:17have it, or victims of suicide, which was, you know, when Junior Seau went down, you know, it was, it
01:27was, oh, well, you know, it was, it was suicide.
01:29I don't know, it was trying to avoid going through the progressive, that is this disease. It's unfortunate that it
01:41is kind of squashed like that, because nature has come to learn here. That's kind of the nature of the
01:47medical business.
