The Weight We Carry: Ricardo Lockette on Loss and Healing
Sat Feb 07 2026
Some moments don’t fade. They wait.
In this episode of The Game Inside the Games, Dr. Michael Gervais reconnects with Ricardo Lockette as returning to the Super Bowl setting brings old emotions back to the surface. The conversation moves beyond the game itself into grief, loss, and the weight of moments that never fully resolve.
Lockette speaks candidly about the Super Bowl heartbreak, the injury that ended his career, and why public grieving can be harder than physical pain. Drawing on their close relationship, Gervais helps him unpack what those experiences still mean—and how resilience is built in the aftermath, not the moment.
This is a raw, human conversation about survival, leadership, and learning how to live with moments that don’t come with clean endings.
