How are you going to think?

I am doing okay.

I mean, after what happened last night during the Bills game, even if you're not covering

that team, I think that everyone in the NFL universe is really struck by that.

And, you know, I kind of was trying to do some work or whatever last night but just couldn't

focus on anything except for that situation it's just kind of pulls back the curtain a little bit

about how dangerous this game is and then also you see all the stories of what that guy

went through to get to the NFL and his family and all those things. And it's just a reminder also of

a lot of these guys and what they do to live their dream and the character and the background

of some of these people and how they get there. And that can all be taken away in one moment. But

you know, as a football reporter, I can't say I've ever seen anything quite like that

from the injury to the ambulance on the field to the reactions of the players. So it was a pretty

shocking night, honestly. So I guess I'm not over it yet as we record here. Of course,

it's hard for all of us and anybody that doesn't know he's referencing

the injury to DeMar Hamlin, a defender for the bills who, as of right now, experienced

cardiac arrest and is in critical condition. So all our prayers and all our energy goes out to him,

his family, his teammates, and his coaches, and anyone involved. It was definitely traumatic.
