Solid updates on Damar Hamlin's condition improving. But 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.720 that's about all we have. According to the Buffalo Bills, 0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:24.400 NFL leaning towards cancelation of the Bills Bengals game, there's 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:29.080 no Thursday Night football. We'll talk to Nate Burlson, CBS Morning, 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:33.280 the CBS Morning Show, and NFL and CBS.

The program director 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:58.160 Dennis Glasgow. Oh yeah, I remember that guy from Portland. 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:03.360 Yeah yeah, money, Yeah, thank you for the opportunity be 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.600 back in Washington, d C. Yes. Pause. Do you remember 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.480 the DC trip you and I took, and Seton and 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.679 Fritzie were back here the first month, maybe a month 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.640 into this the new verse of the Dan Patrick I 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.280 think it was oh seven and we were down there 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.120 at the station down there, and we met John Thompson, 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.520 the great coach at Georgetown in person. Yeah, and he 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.920 walked in and just blocked out the doorway and I 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:28.760 wanted to see the toll over his shoulder. I was 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.440 so geeked. That was great. Yeah. I got to know 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:37.280 John a lot more, a lot closer later in his life. 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:41.959 But it helped being friends with Patrick Ewing. And you know, 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:46.640 John's very intimidating, always was intimidating. But I think because 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.560 I had a friendship with Patrick Ewing, John was a 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.040 little bit more, well less suspicious of me because I 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.120 was a member of the media. But he had that 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.000 big booming voice, but he sat down. It's like, okay, 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.680 I coach, Good to see you all right.

Never 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.119 should have done it, my fault. Let's start over. Three 0:03:55.240 --> 0:04:00.360 two one, Hey, welcome to the program. The momentum is 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.920 building for cancelation of the Bills Bengals game. Mike Florio 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:08.000 had some great information, so they're talking about the postponement 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.480 of the game. The Bills and the Bengals. They would 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.080 not make it up and play at a later date, 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.360 which I think is smart. I think it's difficult to 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.760 have them come back to Cincinnati play that game. You 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.120 know what is the perfect decision? I don't think we 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.279 have one. If we get better news on DeMar Hamlin, 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.680 it makes it a little bit easier to reschedule that game, 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.120 have them come back and resume that game. Current momentum 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:37.320 is pointing towards not resuming the game and declaring it 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.760 a no contest. So playoffs seating would then be determined 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.640 based on the outcome of the week eighteen games. What 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.760 that means is the Chiefs would capture the number one 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.240 seed by beating the Raiders on Saturday. The Bills would 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.640 be the top seed by beating the Patriots on Sunday. 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.840 If the Chiefs would lose Saturday, now here's where it 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.080 gets a little more complicated, but stay with me. A 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.400 Bill's loss and a Bengals win over the Ravens Sunday 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:11.120 would give Cincinnati the number two seed, and the Bengals 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.080 would then secure eclipsing the Bills based on the strength 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:20.560 of victory tiebreaker. So that would set up a potential 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:26.000 Bills Bengals game in Cincinnati in the divisional round. And 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.160 looking at this, as you know, you have to look 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.560 at this a variety of ways. You know, you have 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.560 to look at the sensitivity of what's going on, the players, 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.960 are you going to play this game? But also look 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.919 at the business of this, because at the end of 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.599 the day, it comes back to the business of the 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:47.080 NFL and the pr If you said to the NFL, 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:53.000 don't have the game, you know, cancel it and maybe 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.400 the Bengals and Bills meet in the playoffs, there's your 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:01.560 ideal situation there, and you won't catch much heat because 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.920 if you said, hey, we want you guys to come 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.680 back after week eighteen and we're going to resume the game. It, 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:13.919 you know, a standalone game, well that's that'll be difficult, 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.599 that'll be dangerous, and you don't know the status of 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:21.320 Damar Hamlin. I think the NFL is doing what is right. 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.680 You know, it feels right, at least in my opinion 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.960 that you know, let's not play the game, let's have 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.799 winning percentage, take care of business this weekend. We'll sort 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.839 it all out. It might not seem fair, but then 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.200 sports isn't always fair. Air to the side of caution 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.680 with the health of a player who's still in the hospital, 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.440 and that way the Bills. Let the Bills move forward, 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.320 because if they have to go back to play Cincinnati, 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.520 go back to where this happened. I really think that's 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.000 asking a lot. Let them go forward, play the Patriots game, 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.719 and then kind of see where they stand with all 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.640 of this, and maybe you meet the Bengals in the 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:09.200 divisional playoff rum. But that's the momentum that is building 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.160 right now. According to Mike Florio, we'll have a poll 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.800 question and our play of the day is coming up. 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.920 I don't know the timeframe of when the NFL will 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.960 officially decide this and rubber stamp it and say we're 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.320 not going to have that game play, but I'm guessing 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.720 you'd probably need to have it later today tomorrow at 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.720 the latest, just to be fair to these teams. But 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.400 as we move forward, having the opportunity to have those 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.920 two teams play again and have a fresh start to that, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.679 hopefully we get continue to get better news about tomorrow 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:49.800 Hamlin's health as well. So no Thursday night football, and 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.520 I think that's a good thing. I think no Thursday 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.600 night football given everything that's happened is good. Let's just 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.640 focus on the important things here. A player's health coming 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.040 out of the hospital. Hopefully hopefully he gets to see 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.160 all of the donations that have happened to his charity there, 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:14.200 but his overall safety, the well being of a football 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.160 team trying to kind of put it all together and 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.000 go out there and play a very important game against 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.760 a divisual rival in the Patriots. So that's what we 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.160 have as far as Hamlin, the NFL, the cancelation of 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:30.720 the Bills Bengals game is feels like it's in the offing. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.360 one Poule question, we were kind of workshopping is yeah, someone, 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:34.680 I think a lot of people are gonna be surprised 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.120 tonight when they turn on their TV and there's no 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.200 Thursday Night Football or their streaming service and no Thursday football. 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.280 For those who are not in favor of Thursday football 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.559 or whatever health reasons or the schedule or how the 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.480 games aren't they good? Are you gonna be bummed out 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.199 tonight when you're like, oh, that's separate from what happened 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.160 the other night. I'm saying. I think people have come 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.920 to rely on Thursday night football to a point. I 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.319 don't like Thursday night football, but I would miss you 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.319 watch it everywhere? Yeah, yeah, I just don't think it's 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.199 fair to the players to have a Thursday night game. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.880 I just don't never thought that way, you know. I 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.800 think the quality has improved, but the quality has improved 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.880 because the teams have improved. It. It used to be, 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.600 or at least felt like, hey, who were you gonna 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.880 stick on Thursday night? Now you have some pretty good 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:23.400 matchups there. But what poll question we're gonna go with today? 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.960 Any suggestions from the back row Seaton? Well, I think 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.400 you guys are just hitting it, but we could do 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.240 one off of the what direction the NFL could go into. Okay, 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.440 they should cancel the Bills Bengals game or explore other options. Okay, 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.920 that's where they are right now, what else do we 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:45.800 It does seem to make sense though, that like both 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.720 of those teams could theoretically, I don't forfeit the game, 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:55.000 but they're both in the playoffs. That imagine if the 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.319 Bengals were trying to get into the playoffs and needed it, 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.560 then all of a sudden becomes a tougher decision there. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.120 But you're going with winning percentage. I'm okay with it. 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.920 And if yeah, right, the Bills are the Bengals somehow 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:11.800 end up getting a, say, a road game instead of 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.679 a home game or whatever, I don't really think they're 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.719 going to care all that much about that kind of thing. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:21.400 I'm guessing, yeah, I don't think the Bengals care. I mean, 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.880 the way they play, I don't think they have a 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.520 problem going. All right, where are we going? We got 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:26.839 to go to Kansas City, all right, We'll go to 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.599 Kansas City. We're going to Buffalo, all right, We'll go 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.760 to Buffalo. Buffalo. It's a little bit trickier because that's 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.199 your teammate. But I do think the NFL looking at 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.400 the possibility of the Bills and Bengals with a rematch 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:42.520 in the divisional playoff round, that would be a probably 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:46.520 an ideal situation. All right, yes, boy, how about this? 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.760 I haven't worked that. Are the Barris shutting down Justin 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.040 Fields their quarterback because of an actual hip injury or 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.000 to give themselves a better chance to get a better 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.600 draft pick this weekend? What do you think the actual 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.760 decisions based on to yet the number one pick in 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.319 the draft. He didn't seem to have a big hip 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.640 injury on Monday, and then Wednesday comes and all of 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.640 a sudden, he's is that where they tell him, hey, limp, 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.599 you gotta start limping? The other hand, what which what 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.800 which one? Did I hurt the left wing? No? No, right, 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:19.120 win Franklin. Now Nate Peterman gets the call. How do 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.360 you think Nate Peterman feels, Hey, you know, we're gonna 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.960 sit down Justin. He's a little banged up. We want 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:30.400 to lose the game, so do your bestess ish out there. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.040 I love the idea that they bring it like they 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.960 have a player, we'll say a quarterback, and they're like, 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.400 look you are just way too valuable, okay, and one 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.680 we need to we need to protect you from injury. 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:42.640 We don't want anything to happen to you, okay, because 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.120 you're way too valuable to the future this franchise. Nate, 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:46.679 get out there, out there. You know, we don't care. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.480 Good luck. How about if you're resting, you're good players. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.760 And then all of a sudden, coach comes by and goes, 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:58.000 you're gonna sit down. You're gonna sit down. How about me, coach, No, 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.640 you're playing. Oh you're in here. We can lose you, yea. Yeah. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.840 With Justin fields scrambling ability, he got sacked seven times 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.640 last week, Nate Peterman runs like me, he's gonna get 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.840 sex seven times during the national anthem Peterman Peterman. So, 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:17.280 I guess playing him Justin Fields doesn't get the single 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.920 season rushing record for quarterbacks. But the Bears have a 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.360 chance for the number one pick in the draft or 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.120 at worst number two pick in the draft. Falling yeah, 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:33.000 I think, well, if they happen to win the game. Okay, 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.000 but wait, now, what's the what's the line? Because it 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.880 was the Vikings minus one, but I think that was 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.440 Monday Peter in factor. I don't. I gotta believe that 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.120 the Vikings are gonna be maybe a three or four 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.960 point favorite. Now what does that say about the Vikings? 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.760 They started out I think is a one point favorite 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:57.320 against the Bears in Chicago and now without Justin Fields. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.719 Could we check see what draft Kings has on? That 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.520 feels exactly right? Though? For the Vikings, does I know 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.640 how are they like them? Are they twelve and twelve 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.680 and four? Twelve and four? Are they the worst twelve 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.600 and four team in NFL history? Yes, the Vikings are 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.240 favored now by seven and a half. Okay, that's slapping 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:22.440 the folk. Nathan Peterman, Yeah, Peterman on my watch.

That? Rivals? 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:44.120 John Bonhaman led Zeppelin, anybody have any suggestions on something 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.320 that starts like that? That loud? Yeah, So you're not 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:51.080 saying drum solo, you're saying the opening yeah, oh man, Yeah. 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:52.960 Led Zeppelin's kind of core in the market on that. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.160 Let me check Seaton. First thing that came to mind. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.280 It might not be exactly what you're talking about, but 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:03.240 it is pretty iconic. The drums when the beginning of 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.240 smells like teen Spirit with Dave Grohl. Oh, that little 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:10.400 drum phil that he does to start that HM might 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:15.680 be similar, might not. And when I met Dave Grohl 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.920 at Howard Stern's birthday party, and I said to him, 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.640 the way he played drums, that's that's the first time 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.760 I've heard somebody played drums and it reminded me of 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:28.280 John Bonham. And he lifted up, he pulled his shirt 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:32.040 back and he had a led Zeppelin tattoo and he said, 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.920 thank you. That's the ultimate compliment. Any drummer wanted to 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.680 sound like John Bonham, it's just nobody could. But the 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.160 fact that he tried to channel him, but also pulled 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.360 back and showed me the tattoo. There all right. Nate 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.240 Burlson one of our good buddies, a very busy man 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:54.800 NFL Today on CBS, Nickelodeon, NFL Network analyst, CBS Morning 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.920 host and former NFL wide receiver. And I don't know 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.240 if there's another guy who's ever played in the NFL 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:07.880 who played in a playoff game with the Lions, the Seahawks, 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:12.479 and the Vikings. Nate Burlson joins us, Now, are you 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.399 the only man who's ever played in the NFL who's 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.000 played in playoff games for those three teams. I might be. 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.359 I might be. I don't know if that says a 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.560 lot about me as a talent or a lot about 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.359 the fact that I played for multiple teams throughout my 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.280 eleving your career. But either way, though, you know, I'm 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.200 thankful that I actually had a chance to taste the 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.560 playoffs because we know a lot of guys that bought 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.400 out in this league that never got to the postseason. 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.040 But I'm glad to be here. It's good to see 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.800 you again. I'm upset that I can't do it in person, 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:41.879 but thank you for having me on. How are the kids. 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.119 They're good, They're good. The kids are doing good. I 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.960 have two older boys who are in high school playing 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:51.720 varsity basketball together. They just finished varsity football together. And 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:53.800 if you check out my I g oh, no, I 0:17:53.880 --> 0:18:00.119 saw it yesterday. I saw I saw dad going crazy 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.840 when one of your sons went in for a backdoor 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:07.440 cut and dunked. Yeah, so you know, I was doing 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.600 what the kids do with his head top. He caught 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.560 a body, as they like to say, you know, and 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.919 he climbed the ladder and shoved it down. Listen, I 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.840 get it. There's parents that are there to casually enjoy 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:22.120 the game. That ain't me. I am going to show 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.439 up and show out for my boy, especially when he 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.480 shocks the gym like that. And they shot one of 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.520 the best teams in Jersey. So I had a good 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.680 time watching it. Is he playing basketball or football in college? 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.080 The wild thing is he chose to play wide receiver. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.200 He's six three pure shooter, and as you can see, 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.960 he got hops. But he thought to himself, six three 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.679 wide receiver. As long as I improve in college and 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.600 put some strength on, I'll have a chance to go 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:50.840 to the league. Here here's the twist in his decision 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.439 to go to the University of Nevada and play wide receiver. 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.160 One of the coaches there for the football team say, look, 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.160 we know you're one of the top shooters in Jersey. 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.639 You can play basketball here if one I think At 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.960 that point he said, Oh, they must really want me 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.040 if they said I can play two sports at college. 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.800 I like that. Yeah. What conversation did you have with 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:14.040 your sons about what happened in Cincinnati Monday night? You 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:17.320 know it was a tough conversation. I'll take you inside 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:21.480 the kitchen. I'm sitting there. This is maybe an hour 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.760 after it all went down, and we're talking about the 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.639 moor Hamlin and his family and we're just praying and 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.800 sending goodbyes, crossing our fingers, just hoping that we get 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.840 good news sooner than later. My wife is sitting there 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:37.119 and she just kind of projects into the air. You know, 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.200 this is why it's tough to watch our kids play football. 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:41.960 This is why I don't want them to play football. 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.640 Sixen year old who was six four two hundred tight 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:50.359 end d n he loves the sport. And he paused 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.960 for a second. He said, Mama going to play football, 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.399 and then he followed it by saying, you know, this 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.080 is a rarity. It doesn't happen off In that moment 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.199 when my wife said that there is two sides of me. 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:08.320 One side fully agreed with her and validated her feelings 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.720 because part of me felt that way. But then there 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:14.560 was another side of me, and just being honest and 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:18.239 transparent with that, I thought to myself, Man, this is 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.560 this is what we sign up for. Necessarily that I'm 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.480 not talking about tomorrow, Hamlet being on the ground, Max 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:28.360 coming out, you know, performing CPR not that part of it, 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.240 but injuries no matter where on the spectrum. They fall 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.919 everything from your run of the mill sprained ankle, to concussions, 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.600 broken bones, and toward ligaments. We sign up for all 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:42.520 of that, Nate. I say this to my audience usually 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.720 a couple of times a year, at least once a year. 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.080 If you stood on the sidelines of an NFL game, 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:54.800 you would never let your son play football because the sounds, 0:20:55.760 --> 0:21:01.679 the speed football doesn't do it justice. It doesn't you know, 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.600 when you're watching it at home, even with the microphones 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:09.719 and the four K cameras, it doesn't really put it 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:14.240 into perspective until you're watching it in person. I remember 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.520 being removed from the game and going into retirement and 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.280 just doing studio work for like the first two or 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.320 three years, and I finally went to a game. It 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.640 took me about three years to go to a game, 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:30.040 sit on the sideline, and work as a sideline reporter 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.000 for the NFL network. Now. I remember being there with 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.639 some people I work with and I looked over and 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.560 I say, man, these guys are big, fat and strong, 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:42.359 and these hits, these hits. And one of them looked 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:46.520 at me like with this wild facebook expression, said, Bro, 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:48.960 you used to do that. What are you talking about 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.919 and for a quick second, I forgot that I was 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:53.760 one of those guys who went out there and put 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:56.480 everything on the line because they did get so much 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.160 bigger and faster and stronger since the last time I played. 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.200 I'll give you another story, and I don't want to 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:02.399 hit you with too many stories. I don't want to 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.480 answer every question you drow my way. But I remember 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:08.679 my second year in the league. I got banged up 0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:11.560 pretty good. This is Minnesota Vikings name black and Blue 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:15.520 Division NFC North and the Ogs the Vets. You know, 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:18.600 they were saying, whenever you play within this division, teams 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:22.560 like Green Bay, the Lions, especially Chicago is Chicago, and 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:24.439 call it black and blue because your body will be 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.360 black and blue. I played in one of those division 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.399 games and my body was beat up. The next day 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.280 in the weight room, I'm on the bench press. One 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.439 side of my body is lifting up the way, the 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.840 other side of struggling. I'm just like, what is going on? 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:41.600 I changed the way, decreased it, same thing. I could 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:44.840
