  "textContent": "Take a look at Giants running back Cam Skattebo and one thing becomes immediately clear: If he wasn't a football player he would be spending a significant amount of time menacing Sacramento-area gas station cashiers for not carrying \"the good Monsters.\" Another truth follows naturally from this one: If any NFL player were to go on a podcast and say that CTE and asthma are not real, it would be Skattebo.\n\nThat is exactly what Skattebo did on a recent episode of the _Bring The Juice_ podcast. \"Do you think CTE is a real thing?\" asked host Frank Dalena, who did not record a single statistic while playing wide receiver for three years at Fresno State. \"No, it's an excuse,\" responded Skattebo.\n\nDalena and Skattebo then agreed that asthma is also fake, at which point Dalena laid out a highly relatable scenario: \"Is there anything worse than when you're in fourth grade and someone's huffin' and puffin'? You're just soft.\"\n\nI hadn't really thought about it before, but I think we are all forced to agree that there really _isn't_ anything worse than being in fourth grade while someone's huffin' and puffin'.",
