Sean McDermott says that every year he tells his players their health and safety comes before winning, and says the moment Damar Hamlin collapsed he had already decided he would not coach the rest of the game because he had to live up to that message

“That was a unique night and one that I hope I never experience again. First of all, I’m thankful that Damar is doing well, thriving and playing football again, but more importantly, healthy and with us, because that was certainly a scary event and one that, as a coach, you never think you’re going to experience when you sign up for a job.”

“What I really tried to execute that night was following through on what I pretty much start every season with in our first team meeting, communicating to the players that their health and safety is number one, above, believe it or not, winning games.”

“So when Damar went down that night, you could tell pretty early that something wasn’t like a normal injury. Something was different. I could see a little bit of what was going on with Damar, but I could also see the way our trainers were reacting once they understood what was happening. They knew more at that point than I did, but I just knew something wasn’t right.”

“There’s no playbook for it. How are you going to handle what’s unfolding on the field? How are you going to handle returning to play? How are you going to handle the next few days or the next week?”

“I take a lot of notes. I did a lot of preparation over the years leading into becoming a head coach. But at that point, I just said, ‘If this is who you say you are, then there is no way that you can coach this game.’”

“So whether that game was going to go on or not, Sean McDermott was not going to coach that game the rest of the night because of who I said that I was and what I was about. That’s the follow-through to me on leadership.”

“It just so happened that both teams and the NFL decided not to play. Brandon Beane, our general manager, Terry Pegula, our owner, one of our training staff members and I went over to the hospital and spent some time with Damar’s parents. Then we returned to the team plane, and I got on the intercom and gave the team an update on what we knew at that point.”

“Every day after that, leading into the next week’s game, we tried to get an update, and I would communicate that to our team. At one point, we were able to FaceTime Damar from his hospital room. You can imagine the emotion in the room that morning.”

Nicolas Cage’s John Madden voice is literally just Nicolas Cage. 😂

This is going to be one of those movies that is so bad that it’s good. I can just tell.

I’m closing in on 51 in just a few months, so I’m now qualified to power rank a half century of life.

1. 40s: This is when you finally shake off (most of) your insecurities because you’ve realized everyone else is too busy worrying about themselves and what others think about them to care about what you’re doing. It’s incredibly liberating.

2. 0-9: No bills... no responsibilities. People literally make your meals for you. Only downside is you have no idea how good you have it, so it’s impossible to actually enjoy it. :(

3. 30s: Starting to figure things out. You have a little money, a little wisdom, and just enough confidence to make some spectacularly bad decisions… but you’ve still got the resilience to bounce back.

4. 20s: You know absolutely nothing but are somehow convinced you know absolutely everything. Your body can survive on four hours of sleep and gas station food. It’s remarkable, really.

5. 10-19yo: Absolute nightmare of insecurity, awkwardness, and caring WAY too much about what other people think all while getting punked by the ones who are (sadly for them) peaking. No matter how many more decades I live, this will always be rated dead last.

50s: INCOMPLETE. Early returns are promising. The confidence of your 40s is still there, but now you can injure yourself by sleeping.

Fellow olds, what did I get wrong?

@dcourtney50 Haha see you soon brother

It'll be my 🐐 decade, all other prior rankings will be rendered null and void

[Russell Ernst @BlueFox419]

@DelReid This is a great post and a welcome relief from all the cheesecake discourse in my feed this week. I think you nailed the ranking order. Bills SB win = strong 50s decade?

[Darren Lewandowski @RippedFuel]

@DelReid 58. One of the best life quotes I ever heard is:
In your 30s, you're worried about what people think about you.
In your 40s, you dont care what people think about you.
In your 50s, you realize people never think about you.

True facts.
