Bernie Kosar Was Given 5 Years to Live | Sage Steele Show EP 118

About this episode

Bernie Kosar sits down with Sage Steele for one of the most emotional and inspiring conversations in the show's history. The Cleveland Browns legend opens up about the decade since he and Sage first met at Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, a stretch that took him through a 96-hour coma, cirrhosis, early-onset dementia, a Parkinson's diagnosis, and a liver transplant that nearly did not happen. Bernie shares the almost unbelievable story of his 21-year-old donor, a young man who told his family days before his death that he wanted Bernie to have his liver, and the bond Bernie now shares with the donor's family. He talks candidly about the regenerative medicine he credits with getting his mind back, the concussion culture that told players to hide their injuries, why he has no regrets about the hits, the bankruptcy that reshaped his life, and the faith that carried him through. From the drive and the fumble to a Super Bowl ring, from rock bottom to a second chance, this is Bernie Kosar like you have never heard him. New episodes of The Sage Steele Show every week.
