Why do the San Francisco 49ers always seem to be one of the most injured teams in the NFL? And why does the same pattern of soft tissue and ligament injuries keep showing up year after year?

On this episode of The 10 Day Tony Show, Tony is joined by circadian scientist and biologist Peter Cowan, the author of one of the most viral sports science investigations of the year. His article and research, which exploded across the internet with tens of millions of views, raised serious questions about whether something in the 49ers’ own environment could be contributing to their never-ending injury problems.

The conversation breaks down how Peter began investigating the strange injury patterns surrounding the San Francisco 49ers, his background in circadian biology and environmental health, and how he started connecting the dots between infrastructure, electrical substations, electromagnetic fields (EMF), and long-term player health. Tony and Peter discuss why topics like EMF, 5G, and environmental exposure are often dismissed as “conspiracy” before being properly studied, and why real science starts with asking uncomfortable questions.

They also explore why San Francisco has consistently been near the top of the league in soft tissue injuries, why star players continue to suffer major setbacks, and why this may point to something systemic rather than simple bad luck. The discussion expands into circadian rhythm, sleep, blue light exposure, recovery science, and how modern technology may be quietly impacting not just NFL players, but everyone.

This is a must-listen episode of The 10 Day Tony Show for NFL fans, sports science fans, and anyone interested in the intersection of health, performance, technology, and modern life.

What do you think? Are the San Francisco 49ers just unlucky, or is there something deeper going on?
