Summary
Ep #11: Former Bills center Eric Wood was in Payco Stadium in Cincinnati when Damar Hamlin fought for his life on the field during a Monday Night Football game against the Bengals and he joins Roman to talk about the eeriness in the stadium that night. They both also speak on Damar’s remarkable recovery, and how that fateful night displayed the deepness of the NFL brotherhood. Eric also shares his story of being told of his NFL career was over while in the delivery room with his wife in labor. He also explains how he’s maintained his 65-pound weight loss from the 308-lb playing weight. Eric talks of scratching his competition itch in his media career, and how Kobe Bryant has inspired his business career. And he offers Roman, and all men, marriage advice that includes a grading system.
