and i did not know what to do. my teammate, former teammate he did not ended up being okay. i prayed to him as well. the players are an absolute you can t play after something like this. because you re so concerned about your brother, your soak concerned about your friend, you re so concerned about your colleagues. but, really, laura, i am thinking of this. the nfl which owns one day of the week, two nights of the week if you will have never felt smaller. right now, everyone is focused on the maher hamlin s help, his well-being. again, this is a son and a friend, a brother. this is a 24-year-old young man who is fighting to stay on a team. the buffalo bills are trying to stay on top of the conference. they are very varied to go to the super bowl, he is now trying to fight to keep his team afloat. he was not intending to go into this game and fight for his life.
they did, that means people are qualified and trained in many normally they re looking at knees, shoulders, arms, this is a different type of situation. they appear to have the equipment, and the situation, of his sense of what was going on the moment they ran out? they did. i had an eye site,, john of when the first medical staff ever showed up. they had a big heavy bag with a lot of medical equipment inside, remember, the medical staff personnel ripping that open with the kind of urgency that to me was very eye-opening, and very shocking. to me it signaled this is different, this is something serious, and they pulled out the medical equipment. at that point, the teams and other personal from the team had gathered around him, and i did not have a nice shot anymore from the side of what was happening. i can t mention this was the bengals wide receiver, you mentioned who is part of that hit that kind of landed his head and chest of maher hamlin.
