| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:04.6 | You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. |
| 0:09.0 | We were talking about the rash of ACL injuries this year, led by Micah Parsons and Patrick Mahomes. |
| 0:15.8 | Mahomes got hurt that was contact in the Chargers game. |
| 0:19.4 | Micah Parsons' non-contact injury. And yesterday, |
| 0:22.7 | the NFL said that they announced they're going to have a study to look at turf. And these |
