Damar Hamlin situation made Ryan Clark think about something his close friend Sean Taylor once told him about football: “‘We play a kid’s game for a king’s ransom.’ And tonight we may have seen the one ransom that is never gonna be worth it..and that’s your life.” Well said.

Starting Carson Wentz today is a fireable offense and likely cost Washington a chance at a playoff birth. This was an ego-driven decision. Taylor Heinicke earned the right to finish this season out. I’m sorry, but Rivera has to go.

One request of Nats fans: don’t attack the Nats for going to the White House monday. For many, a trip there is not about who’s in the Oval Office, it’s about the building & institution. For those like Sean Doolittle who choose not to go, that decision should be respected as well.
