allusion. explain to us the best of your knowledge, stephanie, thank you for having me back, and also watching, this is traumatic. this isn t out of hospital cardiac arrest, as we call, it the hardest dog, beating cardiac arrest. different from in the hospital cardiac arrest, for all my fellow health care providers, someone that is witnesses from a personal standpoint, it s traumatic in hospital. so this is a national trauma. and of course, our prayers and our earnest wishes over the hamlin family, to make sure there s a speedy recovery. i ll say, here for everyone wondering what happened, it appears that mr. hamlin, by all accounts is a very, healthy professional athlete, 24-year-old young man, ended up
everybody in your family. a football family, outside the hospital. fans of both the cincinnati bangles, and buffalo, bills gathered outside the cincinnati hospital and trauma center, where 24-year-old anna felt married to my hamlin, is in critical condition, tonight after collapsing on the field during the monday night football game. three skarovsky is back with us on the phone, he covers the buffalo bills for the buffalo news, who s got a conference call with three nfl representatives, jay before break caused by trying to follow your tweets ensure bit of information. plus exactly large. quite clearly is the secondary to damar hamlin health and well-being. for china everyone is very
western pennsylvania, living s dream, now in a hospital in critical condition. mark, you write about this all the time. players are getting bigger, players getting stronger, is this the coming of more dangerous and violent game. i mean, yes it is, the nfl will say left and right, that the game has never been safer, as the soundbite they always go to. and then once handles say this, put out press releases saying, hey look we ve done this in this, we have this initiative, and yet they ve moved their scheduled to 17 games. they ve expanded to 17, games up from 16 just two years ago, which is up from 14 about 30 years ago. they keep basically trying to print more money. this is what this is about nobody s supposed to go through the 16 or 17 times a year. and what other what happened tonight is related all tonight, is who knows, but there s a lot
