Week 17: NFL Other Games

[aluminum seats]

Multi billion dollar business and cancelling the game would throw so many wrenches in the final week of the season going into the playoffs. No way they postpone this game.

It's cold, but it's reality.

Just hope the kid is ok.

Freaking play tomorrow

Insane what happened

My wife says heart attack.

Seems correct unfortunately considering the hit didn't seem that bad. Wonder if he had some undiagnosed heart issue?

My wife says heart attack.

Heart stopped.

 

[Dr Pain]

If it is a heart attack it could be the result of a congenital defect, basically a time bomb waiting to happen. There was bruins player back in the eighties that sneezed and collapsed, it turn out it was he had an anurysm and could have ruptured at any time.

Happened to a kid I knew in college in a pickup basketball game.

 

[VectorPrime]

The players need to say no. Thay they can't continue tonight. They cannot compartimentalize this in under freaking 15 minutes. It's literally not psychologically possible.

 

[Dingleberry]

Freaking play tomorrow

Not a chance. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just don't see any way they don't play.

Fabrice Muamba is all I can think of.

5-fold increase in sudden cardiac and unexplained deaths among FIFA athletes in 2021

The Israeli Real-Time News Tuesday reported a 5-fold increase in sudden cardiac and unexplained deaths among FIFA players in 2021. Since December, 183 professional athletes and coaches have suddenly collapsed, with 108 dead. A Real-Time News investigation revealed that most of the athletes were...

My good friend who is a P.A. says CPR would only be administered for cardiac arrest.

Freaking play tomorrow

Like that’s any better if something serious has happened to him.

Hopefully he’ll be fine and sorted out at hospital. Presumably the cpr worked otherwise they’d surely cancel already.

 

[Free_Pacman]

I can’t hear the game audio, but if they are actually doing CPR, that’s very, very bad. Cardiac arrest out of the hospital has abysmal outcomes.


To answer the questions above, CPR is only done if the patient is pulseless. I am a physician.

 

[venecol]

Good move.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

They may cancel this game regardless. This is scary sh*t.

more likely suspend until wed....

 

[TBR]

The Bills need to walk out

They would lose the game and likely very important playoff seeding. Adds major insult to injury. Obviously I"m not saying a stupid game is worth more than a dude's life, but there's huge implications.

The league should step in and postpone the game, at least temporarily, like perhaps in 20 minutes they receive good news that he's doing well. Otherwise, having to play while wondering if he'll even survive is way too difficult.

 

[jimnance]

Glad they're suspending game. Its the right thing to do

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

I’m glad the teams are going back to the locker room. How can they focus? ****s bigger then football.

In basketball we have had the hearts of Reggie Lewis and Hank Gathers give out, on the court.

"don't know what the league is saying''.....fck goodell and the league

They would lose the game and likely very important playoff seeding. Adds major insult to injury. Obviously I"m not saying a stupid game is worth more than a dude's life, but there's huge implications. The league should step in and postpone the game, at least temporarily, like perhaps in 20 minutes they receive good news that he's doing well and that motivates them.

So they are the #2 seed.

 

[Froob]

They shouldn’t play til we know this guy is okay.
