The Football History Dude is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.NETWORK SPONSORSRow One - the vintage shop for sports history fans!EPISODE SUMMARYThis episode is not one I wanted to release.  It's not because I don't like podcasting.  It's because of the topic, something that's not directly related to football history, although there are for sure some crossovers.On May 25, 2022, Konnor James McFarlin lost his battle with depression.  Konnor, age 17, is the son of Jeremy McFarlin, host of the Football Is Family podcast (and someone I can call a friend via the network).  Jeremy was the number one supporter of the Football History Dude podcast in the beginning, and he has been there for all of us on the network.We all reach out our condolences to Jeremy and his family during these tough times.  And one of the tough things we learn in this interview is that Jeremy believes he has not gotten past the first phase, denial.  He knows the anger will hit him like a ton of bricks one day, but he doesn't know when.We get into this conversation, our plea for anyone with thoughts of suicide to reach out to someone, and convey the belief that sometimes all it takes is to be someone's friend to help them out.  Below are some links to sites for you to check out if you wish to look for some guidance, or if you need to guide someone, and you are not sure what to do.Get in touch with Jeremy via Twitter LINKS:https://www.mentalhealth.gov/https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/find-helphttps://www.betterhelp.com/https://www.verywellmind.comhttps://www.headspace.com/https://www.calm.com/THE FOOTBALL HISTORY DUDE BACKGROUNDThe Football History Dude is a show dedicated to teaching NFL fans about the rich history of the game we all know and love. I’m your host, Arnie Chapman, and I’m just a regular dude that loves football and is a nerd when it comes to learning about history. I created this show to share the gridiron knowledge nuggets I gain from researching various topics about the history of the National Football League. Each episode I welcome you to climb aboard my DeLorean to travel back in time to explore the yesteryear of the gridiron, and yes, that’s a reference to the Back to the Future Movies.
