On today's episode, we discuss the story of the NFL Weekend, where on Saturday Night Isaiah Bolden suffered a head/neck injury that led to the cancellation of the Patriots vs Packers Preseason Game in the 4th Quarter. We discuss the events that led to Bill Belichick leading the game cancellation, Jalen Mills and Matthew Slater commenting on the situation, and how John Wolford of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered the same injury at the same time as Bolden in their preseason game. Finally, how we see the Damar Hamlin cardiac arrest may serve as an inflection point for breaking down the "war-like mentality" of NFL Football that doesn't serve the physical or mental well being of the players who play the game.
