ridiculous to play flag football without head protection. to say you are not going to have contact and injury is ridiculous. if you have said that you have never cosmgd youth football. and when you say allows you to develop players in flag football, no it doesn't. they talk about tackling. that is not only thing do you in football in teaching football. how to take on a tackle. how to block. how to get off a block there is a whole host of things that you get robbed of teaching. it's not about one over the other. it's actually options. there is flag. there is flex. there is seven on seven. these are the options we need to be presenting. brian: right. >> you want to listen to eric i don't know if he has ever coached youth football. if you have never coached youth football or part. i find it disturbing to talk about youth football. without being a part of a community and youth football i have coached youth football since 1991. can i tell you 7 to 11 it's nothing like a bumper car if you will. it's a we believe wobble. weeble wobble. it isn't it will they hit
impose financial penalties on leagues that don't comply. is this really the direction youth sports should be going. youth football specifically? ask two former nfl players. the co-author of this book called brain wash, full of fact. the bad science behind ct and the plot to destroy football and eric coleman is here regarding recovery network. former nfl player himself. welcome to both of you guys. first off, herrell, how do yomerrill, notackle until 7th g. >> why are you say nothing tackle? what is your reasoning? what are your facts? what is your evidence of why you are going to say or allow the government to say you can't let your kids play tackled football there are no evidence your kids will have issue playing tackle football or any sport later in life especially with the environment protocols, equipment and instruction that exists. brian: eric, are you somebody who thinks this is a good move? i read some of your point of
plead to them to get a protocol for ages 8 to 1820 make the environment safer for all of our kids to play sports. brian: we all agree, this football is a great game. purely american game and we are a better country because there is football. i thoroughly believe that. >> no doubt. brian: even if you don't go pro-or have much success the courage you learn, the discipline of being on a team is -- and i talk as a soccer player. i'm in awe of you guys. thanks so much for what you do. by the way your book is so well researched it's one stop shopping for any parent. eric thanks so much. merrill, thank you very much. >> thanks, brian. brian: straight ahead, 23 people killed after tornadoes rip through the south. we are waiting for update from police. we will bring it to you live. plus, bill clinton spent 8 years in the white house. apparently nobody wants his advice on how to get there ♪ why can't we be friends ♪ why can't we be friends ♪ why can't we be friends ♪ sometimes, the pressures of today's world can make it tough
that's a win. steve: i was able to do what all the other presidents couldn't do before me and look at that have you got more money in your pocket. >> that would be right. which other president has made any headway in our china trade? >> none. they have made attempts at it none has done what donald trump has done. jedediah: campaign promise fulfilled. he has been talking about this for a very long time the reason why we might feel heartened by this china never been so vulnerable. economy is suffering. internal combustion between ruler of a lifetime and the rest of his people. >> we have a dynamite economy that gives us leverage over china where the economy is struggling. jedediah: thank you, stuart. you will have to come back and talk about so much. >> any time you like. steve: on today 9 to 12. brian: for three hours. jedediah: devastating tornadoes in alabama. we will bring it to you live. steve: one state is about to ban tackle football until after 7th grade. is that a good idea? two former nfl players
view. you believe a lot of players can start playing in high school and a lot went to the nfl. >> i'm a huge advocate for the game of football done a lot for me and my family. on this one i do agree with the state of massachusetts. there is no reason for a 7 or 8-year-old to play tackle football. i think they have done a great job of coming up with leagues flag football. something that i grew up playing. seven on seven leagues. you can learn the fundamentals, have fun playing the game. i do think that gets lost in this game. having fun, playing the game of football at the young age is going to help the game later in life. brian: merrill, would you add this, some people say flag is just as physical as tackle just because you are not tackling the guy with the ball doesn't mean there is not real blocking and coalitions and sometimecollisiou have to duck your head to grab the flag. >> actually there is as many head trauma and concussions in youth flag football especially if you don't have a helmet on would be
coach trying to do an illegal block. he severely injured his leg. he had to go in surgery. he was only eight years old at the time. when parents put their kids in a rough contact sport, should they assume responsibility for risks but if so, how much? let's bring in joey jackson and mercedes. if you enter your kid in into a a rough sport do they have to assume risk? >> of course they do this is texas, football is religion. >> don't even go there. >> they start teaching football in the womb. it's a bigening in texas. when you play football its violent sport. when you are playing and practicing, you have to know that on that field anything can happen. i feel terrible. >> they are being taught to chop blocking, to avoid from being
