c and that's true in the nfl two. if there's a suggestion that a player suffers from a concussion they go to the sideline and there's a sideline test. one of the questions raised by many experts is whether you can diagnose a concussion in six minutes. so i think that's where the challenge is increased and it's especially challenging a think think -- i've always said the hardest job other than playing the game the trainers have the hardest job i think he does they are serving to impossible roles. they are responsible for the team and responsible for getting the players back on the team because they are paid by the teams. yet at the same time they are trainers said they are supposed to be responsible for the health and welfare of the players and that's an impossible job to deal with. i think that dynamic plays with this issue. >> i go to can -- concussion conferences and speak around the country and they have all the new technologies and the company is right there. they're trying like mad to get a better way to diagnose

, and then you have not only the nfl is an entity, as in powerful entity, but what the nfl means to our culture. it is still incredible incredibly popular. well over millions of people watched the super bowl. they have the monday night football contract and they have that for a reason because it makes a lot of money. that tension is at the heart of where we are now. i think it's going to be really fascinating to hear what they have to say about this and where were going because i don't think anybody really, totally knows where this is going to end. again you hosted a couple conferences for your clients. anybody who wanted to come throughout the leagues and agents and scientists, what kind of reaction did you get at those conferences? also from your clients and players, what came out of it and what did you learn about the issue having done a question that. >> first volley want to thank the festival of books. to be surrounded festival of books. to be surrounded by other people who love books, what an amazing thing and mind-boggling visitation. incidentally my book is the agent of my 40 ye

the nfl is what it is. it is a violent sport. and now that the denial, denial, whether the league is in denial or not is to be debated. for the rest of us the denial is over. this board is what it is. i would like it to continue the way that it is. i don't think there is a change necessary. players no what there getting into. the issue, the crux of the question, what is interesting, the youth level where kids are -- their brains are still developing and there are questions about whether you want your kids to be playing and how much we value football and want to contribute to the discussion. i think we are all hope will called in part of the discussion. i don't necessarily have a position a position about whether we should have tackle football at a certain age. the number you pick will be an arbitrary one, but there is a reason. >> host: do you support the league being a tax-exempt organization? >> guest: it isn't the topic of our book. thankfully i am not paid to give my opinion. i am paid to investigate and look and issues. i th

we went to the nfl headquarters very early on and said, this is what we are doing. we want you to cooperate. liggett the trajectory of this issue. we were very transparent about what we wanted. the league listens to us and said, we are just not interested in helping or cooperating. did not make anyone available. we did find doctors who were willing to participate and talk, and that helped considerably. >> host: next call is roger. >> caller: it is ironic that you would mention you had not heard about any equipment that could help. i want to know if you are serious about getting to the meat of this problem. >> guest: we did this book, spent two years on it, and the issue was looking at the nfl handling historically. there is an ongoing look by any number of people trying to look at the issue of helmets and other opportunities to try to come up with a solution. a lot a lot of time continuing to cover. a lot of people out there for claiming or suggesting their closer to solving the problem with the helmet. mentioned a. mentioned a product that he says he understands is

when and how does it address the problem that is a huge public health crisis fun dash crisis at the nfl and youth level. the pressure was ratcheting up considerably. in 2010 the commissioner was called before congress and hammered by representative waxman for basically raising the question is there a connection between football and brain damage? there was a number of stories out at this time and the commissioner did what he has done repeatedly to a lot of the question we will but the medical people decide to which the representative was not only does missive but derisive and other people were because for them the question was answered and to do this day that is the commissioners position. but our book was an opportunity to reflect back to the beginning of the issue that began to percolate in the early '90s because of a few other folks so we wanted to bet to the core of old and of the wood represented was presenting what had been to decades to grow after scientist raising the question between football and brain damage to ostracize them but to a published paper after paper with the "journ

>> the nfl is teflon. i think we saw that as another demonstration with far more serious issue last year. the nfl was coming off one of its more tu multiuous offseasons because of ray rice and video and general awareness of the domestic violence incidents in the league. when week one came, everybody was back to the games and it was business as usual. the controversy it seems there's a pattern of it only helping the nfl, all of a sudden you had people who maybe weren't drawn in, i don't know who they are considering how popular the sport is. they are drawn into the game because of the drama and storylines. >> mike, i guess it's been teflon to this point. >> i think she makes a great point too. if you look at what the number one jersey sale has been for any player, it's been tom brady. to the point, what you have is almost a rallying around. people have somebody that they love and you get new england rallying around the pats and those sort of tired of this golden boy image of tom brady saying, you know what,

nfl, nfl, and the nfl. if that is not inequitable before a federal court, what would be? >> well, it is, and it starts with they gave the players. >> it is inequitable. >> yeah. it gave the quarterbacks some control of the game ball that started to -- unroll the ball, yard if you will. so they lost quality control right there. to spend really our dollars, we as fans are supporting the league. >> the advertisers. the cable television. they're spend our dollars against, you know, pretty ridiculous things. >> is there in -- in nor judgment any way in which the cba could be more if you -- put it that way at risk right now because of goodell's decision making? people forget. if this judge makes certain decisions that cba, in large measure is weakened considerably, and for period of some ten years could be devastating to the nfl in certain respect. could it not? >> i don't think it is good that the nflpa is always in an argumentative state if they don't find a way to cooperate. they see nfl and owners as a enemies these should be two very distinct groups that are working togeth

they got the same pitch delivered last week to the nfl owners. all the latest renderings to the stadium that policy says would be ready in time for the 2019 season with no tax dollars at stake. the deal, he said, would include giving the nfl 8 acres for free to develop any way it wants. he also said the nfl owners love los angeles and love the idea of future super bowls being played there. there is another stadium site in englewood and another team, the st. louis rams. they weren't even mentioned by policy who simply reiterated carson is the best place for the nfl and where it needs to be. a huge motive for the league to get at least one team in los angeles, there are published reports claiming the nfl might forego charging its relocation fee for moving a team to l.a., instead may decide it wants a cut of that team's profit considering the texans paid a $700 million fee to the nfl to move to houston. the league might see billions from an l.a. profit share. then if you're talking two teams, double the profit. >> you've got to have ultimate respect
