Also probably correlates w players gambling or knowing lines during games

Such a great Wisconsin accent!

Gambling is the reason. I would guess.

Someone get this man an iPod classic with ‘Til I collapse’ And some other bangers on it. I want to see 30 sacks.

imagine trying to take someone seriously when they’re wearing sunglasses inside

What about an ipod classic? Load that shit up with music

God dam that's a stud right der

Thank Antonio brown for that rule

This is nuts

The way he says "halftime"... Can't mistake where he's from 🙃

Good time for a VPN betting service… cough*

It’s only bc of betting. This would be effective af if guys did this for someone who knows anything bout a game before it starts

TJ don't need music, he is the music.

Smart phone can do so much in this modern times, if anyone think it through they’d understand why.

Invest in a iPod. you know the mp3 player haha

Mans needs an iPod shuffle

Also TJ could read my insurance policy to me and I would be riveted ... he's that smokin' hot.

It does make sense. It's done to stop last minute updates to sports betting companies. It's fairly standard practice in most major league around the world.

Mans got caught with his phone but can’t catch ints

It makes perfect sense to not have your mind elsewhere then on the game I think it's an absolutely great rule to not be able to look at your phone before the game need to be focused

Only man on earth where I will wear another man's jersey with his last name on it. Beast mode

It actually makes perception since ppl lol

He got his phone taken away

Idk about him joking he said it on the dam Patrick show. It didn’t sound like a joke.

PFT seems like a smart guy… but then so much evidence shows the contrary 😅😅 “That makes no sense.”

It's because your phones can listen and spy on you even when off. So if there is a situation in the locker room during the game, it won't get leaked. Also, image all the guy talk in the locker rooms!

I asked the guy for a picture at a game. He was not a happy camper…

I’m a grown man paying my own bills working my ass off if I want my phone on me 5 second before I go out I should be able to

It has to do with inside gambling and points fixing. You can't check to see spreads and so forth to know what you need to lose or win by.

It’s like MP3 players don’t exist.

Gotta cop the iPod shuffle

We sure he’s not Canadian 😂

Crazy how iPods don’t exist….

Portable music players exist

The NoFunLeague back at it again

Looks like and sounds like Jay Cutler haha

There's my guy, the best goddamn defensive player in the entire NFL it's not even close, (Win Lose or tie Steelers fan till I die) this guy has single-handedly won games for us by himself! How about those big bad Steeler kicking ass with TJ Watt!!!!!!

Makes perfect sense when you think about it

So he’s not allowed to play on his phone at work. What like normal people have to everyday. Shocking

Do you not understand how people might set bets or find out if they need to throw a game if they had information that close to game time.

When I was a kid my dad had a lot of interesting sayings that he told me to teach me lessons in life. Hasta Lasagna don’t get any on ya. If you ain’t cheating you ain’t tryin. And one of my favorites. Only vampires and drug addicts where sunglasses inside.

Good rule got to stay focused

The fact that these dopes didn't know that that was a rule kind of boggles my mind.. I mean they're supposed to be big bet people and they've never heard this rule before?

Damn that’s kinda sad. Just sit there in my locker [room]

Question: for all those players listening to beats by Dre headphones before the game (obj), where do yall think their music is streaming from?

This is most likely due to tweeting and other forms of social media that players have done in the past..It's their job, I'm not allowed to be on the phone while I'm working lol

Are iPods not a thing anymore?

It’s weird that the players can’t do something when everyone that makes these rules are actually the corrupt ones who should be without their phones

So they can’t bet id assume

Remember that time the Falcons picked Takk McKinley over TJ Watt. 🤯

He was fined $10,000 for making a joke without proof that it happened which is easy to prove. In the NFL your guilty without proof

U know u could get a mp3 player or something

let's see the invoice

Give me 10 g's

It's definitely possible to play music without a phone

10k such bs snakes greed is just uncanny

Goodell Bot doesn’t allow such things

Most jobs don't let you use your phone. Makes sense.

Yeah but Vegas can call upstairs and “fix” the point spread for them so they don’t lose more money! It happened when a team that was losing already at the end of a game kicked a field goal for really no reason and it just so happened it covered the spread for Vegas! 🤔 coincidence I think not!

Buddy’s in the nfl and doesn’t know about Apple watches

I don't hear an accent but I'm from Michigan

Dust off the CD player

So all the guys who wear headphones during pregame are using ipods or what?

He def actually does and he’s saying “na never can’t” cause he slipped up that one time cause that just sounds weird

Come to Buffalo

That’s so no one catches all the set ups for the cheating with there phone camera. Why in the world can’t they have there phones unless they are worried about some shit that we don’t know about I’m sure

Get an MP3 player?

You know they make other devices that play music?

It’s so they don’t bet on the game fool

I am gonna guess this guy gets the ladies

It's so you can't cheat

Well the silver lining it goes to charity but that is stupid. No Fun League for real...

Obviously must he for gambling reasons.... but also not being able to pass on inside knowledge of the locker room... who is playing, what plays they are discussing pre game etc.

That!!! Is such a stupid rule!! What is the reason they gave??

It’s bc the NDA they don’t want players leaking planned results.

You can’t afford an Apple Watch and some AirPods?

Would an MP3 player,iPod,etc be allowed to just listen to music? I feel like that’s a grey area

I also cannot play on my phone at work.

What a joke

Don't be on your phone but it's OK to disrespect your country

Just get an iPod mini

That’s so dumb

It makes total sense. I'm cool with that.

I stopped watching football after the 2019 season

Get in the game

Phuch the NFL

No one follows that bs I’m sure

I don’t wanna know why anyways

I weird rule

They are even told when they can look at their phones. Every aspect of their life is ran for them.

That's is such a dumb rule

Hell Nah NFL is getting worse and worse every single year man I’d literally stopped watching it and I was a fan when I was four now they lost me

It makes perfect sense, PFT. Why tf in the middle of a multi million dollar sports event would you want your players being on their phones not focused on the event? If you’re playing in the NFL and you’re more worried about what’s going on with social media, your priorities are backwards.

Such scally wag bullshit. The rules

these interviewers are annoying

Gambling and cheating !!! Of course it makes sense but for 99.9% of players it sucks but that 00.1% of assholes will take advantage of there phones and figure out a way to cheat

No fun league

NFL is the worst American sports league
