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.
