00:00Watching that outcome for Tua last night was heartbreaking.
00:04We've talked a lot about Tua in my three years on this show,
00:08but he's overcome so much, whether it was people calling for his
00:12job to have Deshaun Watson replace him or Tom Brady
00:16suffering those concussions back in 2022. We talked about it and
00:20I said back then, I think there's more to life than football. He was
00:24newly married at the time. I believe he had had one child back in
00:282022. He now has two children. To now see
00:32the same exact, I forget what the
00:36fencing, defensive... Medically, what is it
00:40called? Like when he was rigor mortis frozen? Yes. To see
00:44that happen once again last night,
00:48terrible. To go back to July and realize that he agreed
00:52to a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension,
00:56$167.1 million guaranteed. He doesn't need the money
01:00anymore. You have a young wife. You have two young children.
01:04You are young yourself. You can pivot this and go
01:08into coaching. You can pivot this, go into broadcasting. For Tua
01:12Tungavailoa, I pray that he steps away from the game right now. It breaks
01:16my heart to say that because I think he's talented. I think he had a bright future,
01:20but you have to take care of yourself first. Watching that last
01:24night, if you're a member of his family, you must have been
01:28beside yourself.
