our breaking news, what happened tonight on the field during monday night football? buffalo bills safety de mar
8:02 pm
handle, and in critical condition after collapsing. he is number three on the buffalo bills. he was hit during the first quarter of tonight's game between the bills and the cincinnati bengals. that's according to the nfl that he fell on his back, just moments after getting up from an open field tackle, a bengals wide receiver tee higgins. the buffalo bills team trainer got to him within ten seconds after he collapsed. an ambulance was brought on to the field. and he was even administered cpr. i want to go back to cnn's chief correspondent, sanjay gupta, cnn contributor, bob costa and nfl analyst former nfl linebacker emmanuel acho. doctor gupta, sanjay, just thinking about what has happened here tonight and there is a lot of uncertainty. we do not have all the answers obviously. he's in critical condition. we have seen what happened. there was the collapse and getting back up for a moment, of course. before he actually collapsed
8:03 pm
after that tackle was made. do you have any insight into what could've transpired here? do you think this was a cardiac, obviously, cardiac issue? what could've prompted it? >> yes, it really does seem like a cardiac issue, a heart issue primarily. we are speculating, laura, at this point. and it's tough to watch that, what transpired on the field there. but a couple of things to just point out, as you said. he stood up for a minute or a few seconds at least before he collapsed. i think one of the things that people always think about with football and with that is brain or spinal cord injury that doesn't seem as likely the case given that he did stand up for a period of time before he collapsed. there was a condition known as commercial cordes, we're is basically something that occurs from a strong blow to the chest at a particular time in the heartbeat. and if it happens, it can essentially throw the heart
8:04 pm
into this very dangerous earth mia. the heart is always conducting electricity. that's all the hard chambers beat. we if the blow happens at the right time or at the wrong time, it can actually cause the heart to go into this abnormal rhythm, leaving to cardiac arrest. it is rare, laura. we don't see this very often at all. and in fact, when you do hear about, it it's typically in sports like baseball where you have a fastball or something that hit someone in the chest. something small that hit somebody in the chest at that exact precise time to cause this sort of problem. but, again, i just want to be clear that we don't know. what we do know is that he was requiring cpr for several minutes on the field. so he was assessed very quickly. it sounds like within ten seconds of his collapse. they determined that's heart was either not beating or it was an abnormal rhythm and they began cpr. the goal, at that point, was to see if you could restore the hearts normal rhythm.
8:05 pm
and typically, that is done with something known as a deferral either. an eight e.d. extorted automated differ by later. we don't know if that was used on the field, clearly in football stadiums, large venues of that side, they had, then there was an ambulance close by so that would have been aed. that would be critically important to try and restart the heart. >> but sanjay, just walk me through, sorry, walk me through what would happen from behind the scenes. you have, been in many ers, oh ours trying to assess what happened from the on the field inspection trying to figure out what is going on to get the lay of the land. at the point that you're in the ambulance and not the hospital. is there battery of tests that's being run? >> what does that scan like into greater detail to forgotten assess. what could've happened here? >> yes, well, i would say that those first few minutes are really critical. so you're right it's not the ambulance of the hospital being
8:06 pm
on the field but you have to be acting in those first few minutes to try and move the blood through the body and or defer relate to restart the heart. but what is likely happening now is that they are determining and trying to get an idea of what exactly the status of his heart is at this point. most likely he is on a breathing machine because you're giving medicine that you are trying to improve the hearts function are doing things to restart the heart. what we last heard is that he was in critical condition. which means that he has vital signs. he has a heartbeat. but they are not within the normal range. so, right now, it sounds like what they would be doing in the hospital is trying to stabilize him. you can become in critical but stable condition. and that would be sort of the next goal. ultimately, you would like him to come into stable condition. meaning that all the vital signs come back to within normal limits. and, ultimately be at a point where he's doing all of those
8:07 pm
things on his own. not requiring a knit ration machine, not requiring medicine to allow is hard to function normally. i don't want to minimize this laura, though, if you've been undergoing cpr for that length of time, i mean it's obviously a serious concern, a serious issue when the heart is not beating well or not beating all the organs are not getting enough blood flow for a period of time. so they're going to want to assess the sort of impact of that decreased blood flow has had on the rest of the organs. that's probably what's going to be happening in the hospital tonight, and you, know for the next period of time. >> including the brain. i mean, i often think about and hear about the stories that if blood is not pumping in an efficient manner trying to be able to get that oxygenated blood to the brain as well, i mean thank you for explaining where we are with that and it's unbelievable to think about this. emmanuel, i want to go to you here because just thinking about it when you remind us,
8:08 pm
and of, course it is worth and bears repeating that we're talking about a human being on this field who happens to be a football player and who has been injured, in some manner, that led to his collapse. and now he's in the critical condition that sanjay gupta has described to us. talk to me about here experience as an athlete and as a player and having witnessed injuries on the field before. obviously, unlike. this but what is the mentality? what is going through your mind at a time like this? and do you feel as though the players, by making it the decision, obviously, collectively not to return is this a paradigm shift in the way that the sport has changed? >> the players are in shock right now. i was rewatching an old clip from when i saw a teammate of mine get carded to the locker room, i look at the sidelines and look back at the teammate.
8:09 pm
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.
8:10 pm
and, so if you really humanize all of this, this is something that these players have likely ever experienced before and hopefully none of these players will ever have to experience again. >>, and a manual, i should ask while you are speaking we're seeing from outside of the hospital, bengals fans are having a bit of a vigil. a candlelight vigil. standing outside of that hospital facility in support of the bills player. to recognize what has happened on that field in the shock and the studding nature of all that has transpired and you mentioned, as, well about him being a six round draft pick, he actually became a starter and i believe, this, season after another player sustained a neck injury as well. speaking about the charisma and the intent to be able to perform at this level and it's just to think about where we are right now unbelievable.
8:11 pm
i want to bring you into this conversation because we're learning more information and we don't have all the answers still. there's a lot of conversation, sort of esoteric lee about sports in general, football and violence and what is taking place. but, in terms of where we are right now as well, just walk us through a little bit about the significance of all of this happening right now. this is been a season where we got a number of injuries that have taken place. there was a legend lost just about a week ago. out of the pittsburgh steelers, abruptly, you had a quarterback at wouldn't that being concussed and having conversation about whether to return to play. the idea of, more broadly, legends and what happens on the field always discussed what's happening right now, a different type of legendary event. tell me what you're thinking? >> well, as i said in the last hour, laura, each of these
8:12 pm
things, as the ones you mentioned, fall into a different category. i am not aware that there may have been an autopsy performed and the result stating my attention regarding franco harris. but this was a 72 or 73 year old man who died in his sleep. the situation with hamlin, as we said in the last hour and as our medical experts have indicated is almost certainly the result of a blow to just the wrong part of the chest, at just the wrong millisecond. which caused denim right to miya and a cardiac event. that's separate from cte. which is much more common in football. both the professional and amateur level. i'm the furthest thing from an apologist for football. it is a violent game. violent by nature. but this particular, you can only make it safer. you could never make it safe. i've said that many, many times. but as dr. gupta said, only a few moments ago, the particular
8:13 pm
circumstance that triggered this event with hamlin can also happen in baseball. a line drive back to the mound, it's the picture in the chest at just the wrong moment, had just the wrong spot on the chest. the very same thing could happen. so, and that sense, it is not unique to football. is it like common sense, more likely in the game whether it's violent contact on almost every play? yes. it is more likely, but it's not more unique to football. >> doctor gupta, on that point, there is a thing that obviously stands out. we're talking about baseball versus football on particular. and i think about putting, and mission ali. and you've seen some time, when you have a player who is up at the plate and they may have a shoulder, sort of a protective gear on one side. it only indicates that they've likely been hit before in that area. and there were of what's that like, and they're wearing something from your over over to cover themselves. the padding might be distinctive. but i still wonder, this, it
8:14 pm
sounds like what you described and, again, to be very clear we are opining until we hear from these doctors about what's happened that this particular person. but what it's described as it seems like a blunt force trauma, more broadly, that could happen in a variety of environment. not just in a sporting event, is that right? >> that's right. and when you do hear about it in sporting event, you do typically hear about it in sports like baseball or even la crosse or sports like that involving a ball, a hard ball at a high rated speed and hitting the chest at just the right time. you really don't hear about this in football. much i was just sort of trying to talk to some of my colleagues in the sports medicine world. and this is unusual. the condition that we are talking about here, and i will say this again, we don't know for sure. but what it may appear to be
8:15 pm
here is something that appears to be cordes commotion, where basically the heart and chest just around the position of the heart is hit at just the right time. and that basically is something that triggers this arrhythmia, a change in the electrical rhythm of the heart. i think that it probably doesn't have been more than a dozen to two dozen times a year. just to give you some sense, laura of how rare this is. and again, i heard about this in football. but the idea again of something smaller, a ball usually hitting the chest, in this case it may have been the edge of a shoulder path or something like that that may have hit the chest. we don't know for sure. but that is possibly what happens here. and you have a little bit of time after the blow occurs before someone might actually become acutely symptomatic. in this case, pass, out lose consciousness as we saw happened to him. >> we are awaiting the news
8:16 pm
conference as we speak at the hospital where the buffalo bills, the more hamlin, is being treated. he's 24 years old, collapsing in the game to day after a tackle, a hard hit, he was able to stand up following that tackle. before collapsing onto the field they administered cpr. an ambulance did carry him away to the hospital where he is now listed in critical condition. want to bring in cnn sports anchor, cory wire, and get your take. because you mentioned these hits particularly close to home for you. you were a buffalo bills play. are you yourself have had injuries of titanium plate, i think, at some point in your body or neck. you watched and witness fellow players be injured on the scene. i'm wondering what you coy wire are feeling tonight. because this is emotional for everyone to watch and to see on to have this inside of what is
8:17 pm
happening to this young man right now in the hospital. >> yes, laura, i played six of my seasons in buffalo. and i played safety just like tomorrow. and just watching that game tonight, as a fan, you know chairing my team, on wearing my colors. when i saw him fall, i knew there was something different. you, know i have a titanium plates and four scores of my neck. i was knocked unconscious four times in my career. one, i didn't happen until the next day. but i've been in similar situations that those players on that feel felt tonight. when i was playing with the buffalo bills in 2007, my teammate from the university of miami was covering a kick together any hit the wedge and he just fell to the ground like a lip balloon. and he was paralyzed on that play. there were the ambulance, there were the, huddles there that were the tears. when i was in college at stanford university my teammate running back hit university of
8:18 pm
washington's curtis williams. and he was paralyzed from the neck down in the year 2000, he passed away two years ago from complications from the hit. so seeing that game and just thinking about, that i mean it brings emotions. out it brings memories because typically, as players, we are trained to have a next met mentality. i think that it's years past, those players would have been getting insults and they would've been smacking them on the but and say, let's focus, let's get back to it. and if there's any sort of serve silver lining in this tragic situation is that our perception about player health and safety has changed. all of the cte, all of the concussion, talks all of the lives that the were lost, all of the lives that have been altered by the people who played the game, maybe those are in vain. because that game tonight was
8:19 pm
stopped. it's never happened before, laura. that to me is a powerful moment. but it pales in comparison to this young man, this son, this young man who is out trying to help this community as a backup, safety. he was getting a not to trinity to play on monday night football, laura. the bengals made it to the super bowl last year and this happens. i can't imagine what he's feeling. i can't imagine what his mom's feeling. his teammates are feeling. but we can just send collective thoughts and prayers, i believe that works. i believe this pardon in that. i must be hoodies in critical condition, fighting for his life and hopefully just as i mentioned with that their situation that something can be learned from this. and that he has a speedy, healthy and full recovery. i think a get back out, playing the game he, loves serving communities and doing toy drops for children like you lost to do. that is a young man who needs
8:20 pm
all of us sending him well wishes tonight. >> coy, you're so, right and i would note that the toy drive updating it and looking at, it people are responding around the country and around the world and donating to that toy drive tonight. exponential growth. it just shows you the recognition and the collective thoughts going towards this young man. and we can confirm that the mars mother was at the game and road in the ambulance with her son. you've got a lot more to come, tonight on our breaking news, tonight's buffalo bills cincinnati bengals game has been postponed after the bills de mar handle ten collapsed on the field after a hard hit. he was transported to a local hospital. his mother, with him in the ambulance he is now in critical condition and we are waiting for a news conference from the hospital.

tonight. buffalo bills safe, e 24 demar, hamel of to the first quarter of tonight's games between the bills and the cincinnati bengals. what you're seeing right now are people from outside of cincinnati and fans of the bills and fans of the bengals holding a bit of a vigil outside of the hospital tonight in support of them are. he fell on its back just moments after getting up from an open field tackle, a wide receiver, buffalo bills team turner got to him within ten seconds after he collapsed. an ambulance was brought on to the field and he was administered cpr. i want to bring in former nfl player, donté stallworth and what you're seeing to night as well,, dante you have people out there that are showing support and who are wondering what has happened and whether he will be okay. we are monitoring all of the
8:26 pm
different imports coming and waiting for official reporting, official news about his current condition. he has been in critical condition. i wonder what is going through your mind. and tonight, in particular, this idea about this decision process of postponing the game for many people who are watching this. in fact, espn, as they were covering the game, the thought that this game can't go on, how can this happen. but the reason it was thought to maybe go on was because of where we are in the season. >> yes, unfortunately, this, coming into this week it was a big for a lot of teams that are dying for those last couple of playoff spots. and, so this cincinnati bengal, buffalo bills game had extremely high implications for the nfl playoffs to try to get that coveted number one seed, it's the only see this year that has the home playoff game, or home field advantage and these two teams could possibly, at the end of the, year end up
8:27 pm
in the next championship to decide who goes to the super bowl to play the nfc champion. so this game, the magnitude of the game was extremely high and to see this unfortunate incident happen early in the game and not just the bills fans, not just the bills players, coaches but the bengals fans. all of them in the stadium. all coming together in understanding how big this issue was. much bigger than football, football is irrelevant at the moment. and you see, as you noted earlier, the bengals fans were there in their jerseys, presumably coming straight from the game. and they went straight to the hospital to hold a candlelight in front of the hospital. obviously wishing them are well and all of the players, i, mean you saw stuff teammate of him going to the hospital. i think that we saw somewhere where he caught an uber from the stadium to get to the
8:28 pm
hospital. and he kind of had to talk as way through police to get in and realize that he was his teammate, brother and friend. and they let him in. and it was just really tough to see what's transpiring. but it's good to see that people are taking humanity first. and not worrying about the game, so far. >> talk to me. though i never played football. i've never played, obviously, at the professional level that you have and have been dedicated and devoted to a sport. so i don't know what it's like to be in those locker rooms. to have the skill or the athletic ability. and also the comments and the coaching, the persistence and directives that are given to you. tell me what it is like. it -- is in some way that you guys are all prepared for something like this? the idea of, this coy wire spoke about the plane mentality. how does that come about? is it something that is not only encouraged what you have
8:29 pm
to have that mentality to have the bravery and boldness to go out and take the next hit again? walk me through what it is like to achieve that level of professionalism. it's not without risk and about dismissing the risks. >> yes it is really a present moment mentality. and i see that because most of the time these aren't necessarily geared toward injuries. these are geared towards mistakes made on the field. and if you play long enough, if you play enough games, regardless of how great you, are you will make mistakes. i've dropped a number of passes before. and you tried to forget about. those because, if you let it, linger it's going to linger into that next play. and we can possibly drop another one. you can put yourself in a position where you could really lose your cool and not be focused on the game. >> and, in a sport like, this it could lead to more injuries or even an injury to yourself or someone else.
8:30 pm
>> exactly, exactly. but that mentality does show up for injuries. because there are so many injuries because it's a violent sport. football is not a contact sport. that is basketball and maybe even soccer. but football is a collision sport. and i don't know if we discuss that enough, where the mentality is that a player gets injured and they get injured often. and the next guy has to be ready and willing to step up to take its place. and it's not that you necessarily forget about that player, he's still in the locker, roomy still around, he still your brother, friend and teammate. but you don't have to go out and perform the duty that he was performing. and that's exactly what damar hamlin was doing ever since one of the best players in the nfl when. out and he got his opportunity because a player got hurt. and because of, that he was able to step, outplay, and not just fill his role, but play well. that doesn't happen often. for him to get his opportunity and to play exceptionally well, and this to happen tonight, obviously, for football and for
8:31 pm
his football career you think about that and that is really heartbreaking. but, you know, obviously what is more important is him fighting for his life and being able to resume a healthy life as a young man. and you know, if the stars align and things work out well in his favor than he could resume his football career. but obviously, the most important thing is this health. >> i want to let everyone know, too, what we're seeing on the right side of our screen, we are watching from affiliate who is able to bring us this footage outside of the hospital where damar is being treated you have cincinnati bengals fans holding out a candlelight vigil of sorts who is -- an after we've seen on the field tonight, presumably fighting to be out of critical condition and first life. we've got a lot more to come on our breaking news tonight. buffalo bills, well, the irony of him being a safety, damar

the breaking news we're following tonight, buffalo bills safety damar hamlin, hospitalized in critical condition after collapsing after a hard hit during the first quarter of tonight's game between the buffalo bills and the cincinnati bengals. he fell on his back just moments after getting up from an open field tackle of cincinnati bengals wide receiver, higgins.
8:37 pm
bob, we are getting reports right now and we have an nfl statement that's issued on the bill bengals game. i want to read it for you here as we're watching people from out side of the buffalo bills fans are like human beings trying to show support outside of the hospital. but the statement from the nfl shows that the cincinnati bengals game has been boned after buffalo bills damar hamlin collapsed. the nfl commissioner announced that he received immediate medical attention on the field by the team and independent medical staff and local paramedics. he was then transported to a local hospital where he is in critical condition. our thoughts are with lamar and the buffalo bills. we will provide more information as it becomes available. the nfl has been in constant communication with the nfl players association which is in agreement with postponing the
8:38 pm
game. bob, what's your reaction to that tonight? >> well, it was the right thing to do with all things considered and this game has playoff implications which are significant or in significant rather alongside a player's condition. but it is not like baseball where you can just play the next game and then decide that they're going to keep the buffalo bills and cincinnati bengals in town on planet tuesday night. and they're moving towards the playoffs. so they're going to have to decide whether they simply cancel the game and the buffalo bills cincinnati bengals play 16 games while everyone else in the game play 17. both were short of making the playoffs. the seeding was still in doubt. so perhaps they'll just say, look will just freeze it right where it is in this game will be played at all. because it's very difficult if they are gonna push it to next week, the playoff start the week after that and there will still be another game to play. so it is a scheduling problem. what our side is insignificant
8:39 pm
alongside the condition of damar hamlin, but that is something to consider once we determine what mr. damar hamlin condition is. >> a really important point to talk, about the significance and insignificance relative to the individual, this person delmarva and. i am wondering that the idea of not moving it to a different day, this obviously comes down to what we spoke about before. the profitability of monday night football. which is arbitrary in its very nature as to why tonight is posing any other day. but tonight, the money involved that makes the world go around, and totally the players in the field go round. talk to me about the impact of the financials into the decision-making as well? >> well, i guess that those in attendance for the game if it's
8:40 pm
unmade up at some point i guess the tickets for tonight's game, if they do make it, up they would be good. and perhaps there would be refunds for the bengal ticket holders if the game is not played at all. because obviously, the game was not played to a conclusion or anything close to it because the injury occurred in the first quarter. all of that is very secondary, and they did the right thing. the game was the only thing, natural attention, on a monday night. they did the right thing because it could very well have happened, and i don't need to speak so bluntly but suppose they had decided that, okay, they took the young man off the field, they gave him cpr, they used a different broiler, he's on his way to the hospital an ambulance. pull yourself together after a few minutes and play the game. and then let's suppose that word came from the hospital, in the middle of the game that he had died. that would be horrible.
8:41 pm
not only from, most importantly, a human perspective but also in terms of public relations and the public reaction to that, in a social media world. that would be a very bad look to the nfl. so i think both for cold business reasons, and most importantly for humane reasons, they decided to postpone the game. >> we also, learned i want to bring in doctor sanjay gupta on that point bob. doctor sanjay gupta, we're learning this evening that we have been expecting the possibility of a -- possibly that there might be some updates from the hospital whether there would've been are not, but we are learning that there will not be tonight, a press conference, coming from the hospital. i know in the, world were often accustomed to this new cycle and we have patience of perhaps a toddler. it's often expected that we will get updates as soon as we
8:42 pm
hope to get them over the course of treatment that the review and medical providers being able to work on a timeline that will work for the patient. which is most important. tell, me the fact that we may not get any updates tonight, does that not continue at all? >> no, i would've been surprised actually if there would've been any updates tonight and it does take some time because there's lots of testing going on. and they want to get more information on that i imagine, the medical team before giving some sort of update i think they'd want to give something as substantive as they can when they give their update. and that takes time, typically in fact if there was an update that quickly i would've worry that that would've been bad news, frankly. worst news. maybe it's a little bit of a good sign and it doesn't mean that they want to get some of those test results back and last we heard he was in
8:43 pm
critical condition and i'm sure that they want to spend their energy right now addressing his care and trying to---january 6th investigation---stabilize. make sure he's stable before giving any updates and a learning, obviously, the family first you for learning everyone else. >> and as you mentioned the idea that if cpr wasn't mentioned which they told us he had been administered, there is a battery to assess the vital organs and the---jan. 6th investigation---oxygen and blood that may have been out of. reach a lot of information to come before us and we're gonna keep you posted, thank you so much we have a lot more to come tonight with our breaking news. the buffalo bills, damar hamlin, collapsing on the field after a hard hit during monday night football. now, he is, right now in a local hospital as dr. gupta spoken about where he is in critical condition. >> woman: i have a few more minutes. l let's go! >> tech vo: that's service that fits your schedule. go to safelite.com.

i'm not sure if you seen what's happened, and if you saw in the locker room what happened in the nfl game. they have suspended the game, while waiting the players condition. i was wondering if you could comment on your thoughts of what's happened, whether that's the right call, obviously. >> well, after what happened, i've seen the play but i don't know exactly what happened. my thoughts and superpowers goes up to the skies above for that kid's family for him and you know that brotherhood a part of him felt for him and it's definitely the right call by either. whoever made that call, roger goodall, whoever had an
8:49 pm
opportunity for the authority to meet that call to spend it, and the safety of our players in all sports is always the most important, so, you know it was a terrible thing to see. and i wish that, you know nothing but the best for that kid and for the city of buffalo, for the franchise and the bills. like i, said for the rest of the nfl, two and the bengals that were there. there is no plan in that game. so, i'm a huge fan of the nfl. i'm a huge fan of football. and, you, know you never want to see anything like that happen. even in the type of competition that they're playing in. , who is in critical condition. after collapsing after a hard hit. during the first quarter of tonight's game. between the bills, and the cincinnati bengals. as you see, he's number three there. he fell on his back just moments after getting up from an open blow tackle.

the bengals wide receiver -- buffalo bills team trainer scott to hamlin in ten seconds after collapsed. he was brought onto the field and it was administered cpr. i want to bring back on dante stallworth, former player as well. daunte, we are hearing of course, just trying to synthesize and i just saw that we're seeing. and taking a step back. they gave out what we know, so far. we know what we have seen. medically, we do not know what he's experiencing right now. we do not know how critical of the condition he is in. or what that means for this young 24-year-old. but just thinking about what lebron james spoke about. the brotherhood of all the sports. there i say, the sisterhood as well. talking about when being prone to injuries as well in their own right in the sports. athletes from different teams, and different sports, watch this in a way that you and i have talked about already. the idea of the shock, and the
8:51 pm
fear. but having to move past that. it strikes me, dante. what a different world and then what we're talking about. the idea of course to gamestop. it was not long overtop much of penetrable, stay in your lane. our united trained. now, recognition of these human beings. it feels different. >> i think the players themselves have taken ownership. i don't know how, exactly, that decision of steps taken two counts of this game. or to postpone this game. but when they do know. watching those players reactions. i don't think they're going back out there. especially -- i saw the reactions. and everyone was horrified that watch this from your couch. when we're on the field. or if you're sitting at home, like the rest of us. watching those players, i mean. just a reactions. i couldn't see exactly what's happening. i >> can see him cars are
8:52 pm
crowding around. >> but their reactions i, the body language. it really told me the severity of that. it was some that we haven't seen before. and we have seen some really tragic and horrible things happen. the players, i think, really took the initiative here. and then if i made the right call the end of the day. >> take a quick break everyone. when we come back with more on our breaking news and what's happened to the more. we gold bond. champion your skin. i've been telling everyone... the secret to great teeth is having healthy gums.
