| 0:02.0 | It's the Harris Football Podcast with your host, Christopher Harris. |
| 0:12.0 | Welcome! |
| 0:14.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome in. |
| 0:18.0 | My name is Chris. |
| 0:20.0 | It's very, very dark outside as I'm recording this from Los Angeles, California right now. Hello there, kids. How are you? Thank you so much for being here today on this Thursday episode. It's my honor that we have such a great audience and you are so loyal. Let's make the next hour as fun as we |
| 0:40.1 | can, though we'll start with just a brief acknowledgement of something that's not so fun and is |
| 0:46.1 | in fact terrible. You've probably heard about Doug Martin, the running back for the Buccaneers and |
| 0:53.1 | the Raiders. He died a few days ago under awful circumstances that haven't even really fully come clear, |
| 1:00.9 | which is sort of why I was waiting to say anything. |
| 1:03.5 | But now I'm sort of convinced that we probably know about all that we're going to know. |
| 1:08.5 | And regardless of the specifics, it is clear that Martin had been quote unquote troubled |
| 1:14.1 | for years where, you know, it's easy to link repeated head trauma that's intrinsic in the |

| 1:27.0 | I've been thinking a lot about this over the past year or so |
| 1:30.7 | as I've been writing a sequel to Slotback Rhapsody. |
| 1:34.1 | It's a new novel that I'm hoping will come out next year. |
| 1:37.3 | You know, at this point, I don't think any NFL player is unaware |
| 1:41.2 | of the long-term dangers, and they are grandly compensated for it, |
| 1:46.6 | and it is a bargain that at least in theory they all understand and are willing to make, |
| 1:53.1 | which doesn't necessarily make it smart, doesn't necessarily make being a football fan uncomplicated. |
| 2:07.6 | But I just wanted to say, Doug Martin, the muscle hamster, was the source of a lot of joy. The very first year I started making this podcast after leaving ESPN, one of our original great calls in 2015. |
