Davis finally got up from his locker sometime after many had already left the building. He was the last one to shower, the last one to dress and the last one to answer questions about what just transpired.

He had to take his time to process it all right there in the moment, to just be wrapped in that silence and alone with his thoughts.

“You have to process it emotionally,” Davis said. “From a mental standpoint, you can’t just ignore it, you have to deal with it. And it hurts, there’s no way around it. It hurts, and it hurts for a long time.

“Dark days, dark times, they hurt, even inside the game. But eventually the sun comes out.”

Man that hurts. I want to get this guy a ring so bad.
