Wow, such an encouraging interview. I'm a Raiders fan, and Darren Waller will always be a Raider. Wish you all the best. Thanks for putting it all out there.
Ed… Goooooood questions… thank you for clarifying and not letting things pass.. you ask the questions I’m asking.
Thank you Ed for picking Darren. Such a special human.
I’m a recovering alcoholic and addict and I’m here to tell you that that overdose he described gave me goosebumps. I have experienced what he described and it is so scary. Thank God he wasn’t ready for us yet my friend.

Ed you my hero
No Matter What Club ❤️🔥
This is a great episode, and as a light skinned guy lol, even if you are full black, people would say all of the things he said! Ohh you aren't black enough.. lol, never too serious, but it happened. I'm glad he grew, and so have I! Great messages from addiction to being able to be vulnerable. It is the lifelong journey of self development.
Golden!
What an amazing story of redemption and restoration! That's how GOD works baby!
