Hey, this is JJ Redic. You may know me as a basketball player. You may have seen me play

during my college career at Duke University or perhaps over the past decade playing in the NBA

for the magic, the bucks, the clippers, or the sixers. Well, today I'm here to tell you about my

new show, the JJ Redic Podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network. This is where you can find me

interviewing athletes like my current teammate, Joel and Beat, as well as in-depth conversations with

celebrities like the late, late show host James Corden. The very first episode goes live later this week,

so make sure to subscribe to the JJ Redic Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

the game, just seeing how scary that moment is. But the fact that Shazier is such a big name in the

NFL, it really is it's going to take over this week of the news cycle. I think just updates on him.

Now the most recent update as of Tuesday morning is maybe a spinal concussion, which isn't as bad as

it sounds apparently. A ton of Maddox and a similar injury that Steelers reporters were saying,

and he missed one game in 2002. Obviously, that's a different era. But I think that moments like that,

because it's what's particularly upsetting about a moment like that is there seems to be no easy

solution. That's the problem with that because it's, you know, it's not a doctor. Let him go back in
