In 1996, Tim Green , the first-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons , had said, “You cannot go through an NFL season without doing serious damage to your body.” Cut to 2018, the former NPR commentator came forward and said that he was suffering from ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The same year, when Steve Kroft of CBS News asked former Falcons linebacker if there was a connection between his ALS and football, Green said, “I think probably a lot, if not all.” Kroft reported Green had lost track of the number of concussions he suffered playing football – he stopped counting after ten.
Atlanta Falcons star Tim Green’s son Troy Green badgered him to start Tim Green’s “Nothing Left Unsaid” podcast On June 12, FOX News Digital shared a video clip of Tim Green’s AI-generated voice. They titled the video: Former Falcons star Tim Green refuses to let ALS silence him as father-son podcast creates lasting legacy and captioned it: Tim Green, using his AI-generated voice, talks to Fox News Digital about what his podcast with his son means to him.
Green’s AI-generated voice says, “The inspiration for starting the podcast came from Troy. I was reluctant at first. I thought the world didn’t need another podcast. Troy kept badgering me to do it. Finally, I agreed to do it on a condition that I could honor my Christian Faith in every episode and use the platform to raise money and awareness for ALS.

It became a way for us to share honest conversations, laugh together, and talk about life, football, ALS, and everything in between. I wanted to create a space that was real, hopeful, maybe even a little inspiring for others. At the heart of it, the podcast is about staying engaged, staying curious, and reminding ourselves to leave nothing unsaid.”

About ElevenLabs, Troy describes my voice as a robot with a Tim Green accent. There are a lot of people who don’t know or don’t have access to this type of technology. It is upsetting, but I try to use my platform to bring awareness to everyone out there who has challenges communicating.”
