Summary

Golic & Smetty discuss Damar Hamlin collapsing on Monday Night Football and Mike provides a perspective on how NFL players deal with injuries, but there's nothing to prepare them for a scary situation like this.

I am Mike Golick Sr. She is Jess Smetana, and we are in the final stages, obviously, of college football.

0:25.4

We have week 18 in the NFL.

0:28.0

But, Jess, I don't think there's any doubt what we need to talk about at first and what we saw on Monday night football.

0:35.5

I mean, one of the most horrific things I know and we'll get into it I ever

0:40.0

saw on the field with Demar Hamlin and having to be resuscitated on the field and still not really

0:46.1

sure what's going on in the postponement of that game. I'm sure you were watching it. I'm sure the
