00:11 You don't ever want to see any of your teammates go down.

00:33 And even though this morning--
00:37 we didn't know until this morning

00:44 And the first emotion is devastation.
00:47 We all work extremely hard to make
00:51 the best out of the 17 opportunities
00:53 we get every year to play the game we love.
00:56 And having that slip away is not easy for any of us

01:07 But he's also not alone in this.

01:12 through this process.
