Jets' Bradley McDougald talks emotions after shooting of Jacob Blake: 'Just sick and tired of being sick and tired'

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Tears were shed, hugs were exchanged, the conversations were deep and gut-wrenching.

As the Jets discussed Sunday’s shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha, Wisconsin police, the emotions were raw. And for safety Bradley McDougald, it represented a breaking point.

“I’m just sick and tired of being sick and tired,” McDougald said Wednesday after practice. “Guys are sick of talking about it. We’re sick of sharing our emotions about it. We’re hurt. To have that type of deep conversation and then snap right back in football mode is just … it’s crazy, but it’s the life we’re living.
