The Buffalo Bills have announced their safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest during the Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hamlin is currently in critical condition at a Cincinnati hospital.

Hamlin received CPR on the field after he collapsed after a tackle by Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin also received oxygen before he was taken off the field and transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

ESPN notes Hamlin is currently sedated. A large amount of the Bills remained at Paycor Stadium before departing and returning to Buffalo.

“Our thoughts are with Damar and the Buffalo Bills. We will provide more information as it becomes available,” the NFL said. “The NFL has been in constant communication with the NFL Players Association which is in agreement with postponing the game.”

After the injury, the Bills entered a moment of prayer. The game was initially set to continue after a delay. Still, Bengals coach Zac Taylor and Bills coach Sean McDermott met midfield to extend the break, eventually leading to postponement.

Hamlin was drafted sixth round of the 2021 NFL draft and had been starting in place of injured safety Micah Hyde.

Robert Griffin III Apologizes After Using Racial Slur On Live TV

Robert Griffin III is perhaps one of the biggest “what-ifs” in the history of the NFL. He famously had an amazing rookie season with the Washington Commanders, however, he ultimately ran into injury issues. Eventually, RGIII bounced around the NFL, but never got an opportunity to be a fully-fledged starter again.

Subsequently, Griffin became an on-air personality over at ESPN, where he gets to co-host the pre-game show for Monday Night Football. Griffin is working alongside the likes of Steve Young and Booger McFarland, and so far, he has been regarded as a rising star in the commentary world.

Robert Griffin III Makes A Mistake

Unfortunately, Griffin made a huge mistake last night. While speaking about Jalen Hurts, Griffin used a slur that has a very negative historical context associated with it. In the clip down below, you can hear what the slur in question was.

Consequently, Griffin began to go viral for all of the wrong reasons. The former quarterback was made aware of his error, and he immediately took to Twitter to apologize. Overall, it was an embarrassing moment for him.

“Yooooo, Definitely need to clarify this,” Griffin began. “THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT TO SAY. Was trying to say “those Bug-A-Boos” in reference to haters and doubters. Regardless of my intention, I understand the historical context of the term that came out of my mouth and I apologize.”

At this moment, it doesn’t seem as though there will be any punishment for Griffin’s error. He has apologized for it, and in a few days, most will forget that he ever said it. Regardless, this was pretty bad, and RGIII knows it.

ESPN’s Monday Night Football will have a new cast member. According to the New York Post, future Hall of Fame wide receiver and Arizona Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald Jr will join the Mounday Night Countdown pregame show.

Fitzgerald will step in for Randy Moss, who will now only appear on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown show. Fitz will take the air for the first time before Russell Wilson’s return to Seattle as the Denver Broncos will take on the Seattle Seahawks.

Fitzgerald will not be on the show full-time, appearing in what is reported to be five-to-seven shows during the season.

Robert Griffin III has recently been added to the show, joining a roster of Suzy Kolber, Booger McFarland, Steve Young, Adam Schefter, and Alex Smith.

After two decades working together at Fox Sports, Troy Aikman and Joe Buck are taking their talents over to ESPN to become the new voices of Monday Night Football.

“The opportunity to be a voice on Monday Night Football, adding to its legacy and being a part of the future of the NFL on ESPN, has me motivated and reflective,” Aikman said in an ESPN press release.

Buck and Aikman will be working together for the 21st season (the same number of seasons that Pat Summerall and John Madden worked together) and will be joined by sideline reporter Lisa Salters, plus John Parry as the officiating analyst.

It’s been no secret that the worldwide leaders in sports have wanted to improve their Monday night broadcast for some time now. With the two biggest broadcasters in the game, it’s safe to say ESPN has achieved that goal.

Monday nights will continue to include the alternate Peyton and Eli “Manningcast” for 10 games, with the Mannings’ contract with ESPN currently running through the 2024 NFL season.
