NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Week 17: NFL Other Games

[Kontradiction]

I didn’t see the play, but the first thing you think of when a young athlete collapses is HOCM- hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.

They know. That ambulance was driving slow

Meaning?

Scary scene. I'm reminded of this:

50 years ago, Detroit Lions' Chuck Hughes died of heart attack during game

A somber anniversary in NFL history on Oct. 24. In 1971, the Detroit Lions' Chuck Hughes had a heart attack and died. It remains the only death of a player during a game. Chuck Hughes was a fourth-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles out of Texas Western -- now…

Yeah, I remember that. Shefter keeps saying nothing like this has ever happened

 

[Dr Pain]

Meaning?

Meaning they are in no rush which means he is fine or probably dead and he was not fine

[TBR]

A lot of sudden deaths happening frequently in younger people these days especially athletes….google it. I think these pro athletes get scanned/evaluated pretty throughly…..congenital heart problems generally come up in testing and assessment

There were definitely a handful of cardiovascular related health issues and/or deaths prior to "2020", although it does seem like there's been even more lately. There won't be any objective findings on the matter though.

 

[reflexblue]

Meaning?

He could be dead and thats why its not speeding away, theres no need to rush to the hospital

 

[Dingleberry]

Meaning?

I am guessing the inference is they weren't rushing to the hospital so he is already gone.

I don't think that can be used to assume that. The ambulance is not going to gun it going off the field regardless.

 

[PatsWSB47]

Meaning they are in no rush which means he is fine or probably dead and he was not fine

I so hope you are wrong but I noticed that same thing

 

[Deus Irae]

If someone you have on ignore starts a thread then yes you won't even see the thread

I've mentioned that problem to Ian in the past, but he's got a lot on his plate when it comes to this place. I know that it can be dealt with by other systems (vBulletin has the thread show up with the Original post just being blank, for example), but I don't know about Xenforo.

 

[Kontradiction]

Meaning?

Meaning it was on a football field and the ambulance has to drive slow until it gets to pavement.

 

[PatsfanTN]

An AED wouldn’t be used if he had a pulse, if I remember right the AED will only shock with no pulse. hopefully the got him back and he just needs O2….

 

[venecol]

Meaning they are in no rush which means he is fine or probably dead and he was not fine

What is AED?

 

[Chevy]

That is what I saw too. Possible aortic rupture?

Scary. Look at the Mo Lewis hit. Drew had internal bleeding, collapsed lung (later on), yet still was on his feet.

I've seen guys faint during a long formation in the heat - they tend to collapse at the knees first like an accordion. This guy jumped up, froze, and it looked like someone flipped a switch.

I'll just hold on to the fact that the medical skills available are incredible, and the NFL has access to the best. That and the prayers.

 

[Kontradiction]

What is AED?

The electrodes to restart the heart.

 

[Uptown]

Please get these 3 off the air..

 

[Mainepatsfan54]

What is AED?

Defibrillator

 

[reflexblue]

Meaning it was on a football field and the ambulance has to drive slow until it gets to pavement.

Not true, they would drive off the field as fast as possible

 

[TBR]

Yeah, I remember that. Shefter keeps saying nothing like this has ever happened

He kept saying we've never seen an ambulance on the field... we saw one earlier this year Lions/Patriots and even Dean Pees was taken off on a stretcher after being slammed into by a player during warmups a week or 2 ago. It's a nitpick in the grand scheme of things here, but I have no idea how the NFL's supposed #1 reporter can be so oblivious to things that have happened recently, let alone throughout NFL history.
