| 0:00.0 | Yeah, it's a great question. So look, we got a packet from the league. Obviously, when |
| 0:14.8 | policies change, it's our job to educate. Mark Thuse was awesome. We're professional |
| 0:24.2 | teachers. And so the packet we received, we looked at, studied closely, and then we presented |
| 0:32.1 | it in our own PowerPoint. And I probably had 20 minutes on it to really make sure everyone |
| 0:42.4 | has it. You know, if you're a teacher and half your class gets a D, you better look at |
| 0:47.2 | yourself. And so it's not the policy, but it's the implementation and the understanding |
| 0:56.8 | and the educating of the policy. And so we, I presented a week and a half ago, now someone |
| 1:05.2 | officially will present. And hopefully it won't be from that eight page handout we received |
| 1:09.5 | because that was more confusing after I read it than it was before I looked at it. |
| 1:16.6 | So I think we're all on the same page. That is a very tackful way by Sean Payton, not |
| 1:25.8 | all that tackful, but more tackful than it could have been of saying that the NFL's gambling |

| 1:37.4 | It is clunky and players are not going to understand it. So they're one of the teams |
| 1:42.2 | that actually took it and rewrote it into something that players will understand. What |
| 1:47.4 | can we do? What can't we do? What are the consequences if we do something we shouldn't |
| 1:52.6 | do? And I've been saying this all week since the Isaiah Roger stuff bubbled up coaches |
| 1:57.8 | get in players faces all the time and tell them, here's what you need to do or else. How hard |
| 2:04.9 | is it miles for coaches to get in the faces of players one at a time and say, here's |
| 2:10.9 | what you need to do or else. And here's what the or else is. If you do this, you don't |
| 2:18.2 | play. They'll catch you. They'll suspend you. Your phone is the thing that's betraying |
| 2:24.2 | you. Don't think you can outsmart the phone. Don't think you can outsmart the league. |
| 2:29.0 | If you bet, you're done. Don't do it. And so kudos to the Broncos for taking that policy |
