Ryan Clark on Sickle Cell, Getting Fired on Live TV, and Why He Just Can't Stop
Ryan Clark sits down with Craig Melvin on this episode of "Glass Half Full" for a conversation about grit, second acts, and what it really looks like to keep getting up. He opens up about the night in 2006 he thought he was dying from a sickle cell crisis and the moment he decided he would be strong enough to play again, takes Craig inside the commercial break text that ended his ESPN career, and explains how he put together a Netflix deal and an NFL Films partnership in six weeks. Plus the conversation with his son that made him realize no coaching job could ever top being a great dad.
