Summary

As I release this episode, I still don't know the updated status on Damar Hamlin of the Bills who was critically injured in last night's game vs the Bengals. On this episode I talk about the world of social media during a crisis and how ridiculous some people can be. The NFL also received a lot of blame, which I feel unfair. The only thing that matters is the life of Damar. Let's pray he survives this and has a productive life moving forward. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

And now Grand Napier. And hi everybody and I want to point out that as I record this I do not have any new information on De Mar Hamlin and what happened last

0:28.9

night in the Monday Night Football game between the Bills and the Bangles.

0:34.4

I think I speak for a lot of people sending out prayers and thinking about this 24 year old

0:39.6

athlete who at the time, and again I don't know right now, but at the time it was very

0:45.9

apparent that his life was in danger when we received word from Joe Buck and

0:52.4

Troy Aikman and the crew at ESPN that CPR was

being performed on the field. So let me just start off by saying that. The football game at that point did not matter. I think it's unfortunate what happens in this world of social media when we have such a breaking story and in this case a potentially tragic story

depending on what happens with tomorrow whether he will make a recovery or not.

I was most encouraged with a tweet that came out at 1031

1:26.8

Eastern time from Jordan Rooney. He put out update on DeMar. His vitals are back to normal and they have put him to sleep to put a

1:36.6

breathing tube down his throat. They are currently running test. We will provide updates as we have them.

1:44.0

Well, obviously, there have been a lot of people that wanted to check out on Jordan Rooney.

As a matter of fact, he had nearly 40 million views on that tweet.

1:54.9

Who was a source?

1:55.9

He responded on social media.

1:57.8

Source is me, his friend, and marketing rep. The UC hospital has said they would not come out with any new

2:08.0

updates throughout the night and so we really don't know what was going on from the time the collision occurred at

2:18.5

midfield in Cincinnati to even now as I am recording this. We can only hope and pray that

2:25.4

Jordan Rooney's information is accurate, that he is legit, and that the

best is going to happen with a positive outcome.
