5 Smooth Stones

On Thursday night, let's talk about Damar Hamlin. Let's dissect everything, from the raw emotions of hard-core ballers to the hit, the collapse, and the desparate prayers of a shocked nation—even to the rumors that the NFL at first considered continuing the game after such a tragedy unfolded, per ESPN (?). Some ask why the rich NFL GMs watch a GoFundMe account swell when the NFL should have started the financial support conversation. Then others are speculating that the mandatory vaccine by the NFL and many athletes with similar cardiac arrests from hard hits may be related. In recent years, some have considered quitting football entirely amid this kind of tragedy. So, how do these talented men keep playing hard? Will fear handicap the playoffs soon played, or will some feel there is a one in a thousand chance that this could happen to them and just keep balling hard? Tune in; we'd love to hear your perspective.  The radio blog show will premiere on January 5, 2023, at 8 p.m. CST.  To listen or speak
