One of first calls Derrick Barnes got after MIN game was from Alex Anzalone, whose own game had just ended. Barnes was weaving through traffic rushing to hospital. Anzalone was leaving TB stadium, desperate for info. "He was devastated," said Barnes. "He looks at us as brothers."
Continued prayers for Jack as he heals. Such a testimony.,
STATEMENT FROM JACK CAMPBELL
My family and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and support we’ve received over the past few days. It means more to us than words can express.
I’m incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better.
My faith in God has never been stronger. I know He has a plan for me, and I trust in that plan. I know there may be challenges ahead, but with my faith, my family, and so many people in my corner, I know we’ll get through this.
I especially want to thank the athletic trainers and medical personnel who responded and cared for me on the field. I know those were difficult moments, and I’m incredibly grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and care you showed me. The way you handled everything and looked after me when I needed it most is something I’ll never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I also can’t say enough about the incredible care I’ve received from the medical team at Henry Ford Hospital and the Detroit Lions medical staff. They’ve been amazing to me and my family throughout this process, and I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done.
To my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the Lions organization, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. This team is a family to me, and the way everyone has been there for me means everything. I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion and couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of people.
One thing I’ve learned about Detroit is that this city is built on toughness, resilience, and grit. That’s exactly how I’m going to approach this challenge.
Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. We feel the love, and I can’t thank everyone enough.
God is good. My faith is strong.

Pres George H.W. Bush was the worst person EVER to interview…I interviewed him many times and he would NEVER take credit for his many great accomplishments…he always gave everyone else credit…I would then point out specifically what he did and he would say something like, ‘anyone could do that”…he was a great great and humble man….but lousy interview…and yes, I admired him immensely

"He's a badass, He's a badass and I feel terrible for him but I know if anyone can get through this stuff it's gonna be him" - @patangererHAWK on Jack Campbell
Always great to chat with my good friend Pat Angerer on "Off the Air with Matt Randazzo" and unfortunately we had a wide variety of things to talk about. From Jack Campbell injury, to @HawkeyeFootball and their continued dominance of Wisconsin, to dressing up like Dolph.
Check out my entire chat with Pat at the links below!

Hot take: (with the election on everybody’s mind)
If you’re a conservative (R).. and don’t have ONE liberal friend. You’re doing it wrong
If you’re a liberal (D).. and don’t have ONE conservative friend. You’re doing it wrong
And of course as ALL of our mamas have told us.. 2 wrongs don’t make a right

“One day I will tell little Moira my story, and I will become a strong uncle for her to turn to for help and guidance. I will become strong in mind, body, and spirit. I ask God for guidance in my journey to strength.”
Mac wrote these words the night he became an uncle, and looking back, I think they speak so deeply to the man my son was and the kind of role model he wanted to be. While Mac may not be here physically to watch Moira grow up, she will always know her Uncle Mac - his strength, his faith, his music, and the extraordinary heart he shared with all of us. I will never forget standing in the hospital room and seeing Mac with such love in his eyes holding this precious little baby for the first time.
Little Moira, our first granddaughter and Mac’s first niece, was named in honor of her grandmother.
There is something very comforting to me in knowing that, in a different way than Mac imagined when he wrote those words, he can still be that uncle to her. As his nieces and nephews grow older, they will have his story, his music, and his own words to turn to. They will know how deeply he loved them from the very beginning and the kind of example he hoped to set for them.
Music has always been one of the threads connecting our family. When our children were little, Moira would sing them the Irish lullaby “Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral.” Years later, Mac recorded himself playing that same lullaby with members of the Lt. Dan Band for his album Resurrection and Revival. It means so much to me that his nieces and nephews can now hear their Uncle Mac playing a song their grandmother once sang to him. You can listen to Mac’s rendition here: youtube.com/watch?v=PZ0Ukt8q….
This is just one small piece of the story I share in Graceful Warrior. It is a story about our family - the highs and the lows, the joy and the heartbreak, and the ways we leaned on one another through circumstances we never could have imagined. Most of all, it is about the hope and faith we found along the way, even in our most difficult moments.

This is an amazing reminder of life. @MattRandazzo …this one is a tear jerker. Thank you, Bob and @DanMillerFox2 for sharing.
Truly humbled and honored to write about a great friend and a great family. The column is about dying, yes, but mostly about living.
