I’m skeptical of any medical update that says “put him to sleep”.

That’s what you do to an animal that needs to be put down.

People get freaked out by “drug induced coma” not sure there is a better term.

 

[boozeman]

I have noticed that a lot of the reports about Hamlin say “after a hit”. I don’t think the hit made his heart stop.

 

[Cotton]

I don’t think the hit made his heart stop.

It is highly unlikely. I'm just glad he seems to be stable.

Yeah, that was about as routine a tackle as you're going to see in the NFL.

If people try to point to this as an NFL safety issue similar to concussions, they clearly have an agenda.

There was a doctor on the Today show not 5 minutes ago saying it was probably the hit. I don't believe it.

If he hadn't stood up I might believe it, but the man stood up and then fell back down.

I have seen Bayless referenced multiple times. What did that fool do?

I have seen Bayless referenced multiple times. What did that fool do?

Just did what Skip does and was insensitive to the situation. Just being his normal shock jock self for views. Complained about what the NFL is going to do after suspending the game.

He is such a piece of shit.

Up to $3.5 million now.

As for the Bayless thing, it was a poorly worded and delivered Tweet. He just did not know when to shut up.

what do you think did it?

 

[Texas Ace]

what do you think did it?

I'm not here to debate whether it was the hit or not, but I don't think that the hit can be ruled out as a contributing cause.

I'm not telling you guys something you don't already know, but just because it doesn't look violent on TV doesn't mean that it's not. It's crazy just how violent all of the contact looks when you see it during those normal speed, field level, NFL films shots.

That's when you really see just how strong the impact is on even the most average collision of bodies.

The human body was not meant to play football and that's just a matter of fact.

I love this sport, but there is no way I'd let a young child play it knowing what I know today.

 

[Simpleton]

Commotio cordis is a thing, is probably what happened here and predates any vaccine stuff. Now, could the COVID vaccine or any other vaccine have contributed in some form or fashion?

Sure, who knows, it may have also played no role whatsoever.

But the hysteria on social media typifies why society is in the place that it's in, with people running around like chickens with their heads cut off, overreacting to everything and looking for anything they can find to support their view of the world no matter how toxic it is.

I wouldn't go straight to the vaccine thing if they had not forced it on so many people. I don't mean to make this political as a man's life is hanging in the balance, but it is what it is.

And also, that Twitter doc made the comment that only the anti-science idiots were bringing it up, when -- as Simpleton said -- that doc has never seen the patient and has no idea if it was a factor or not. It could have been CC, it could have been a genetic heart defect, it could have been any number of things. That random Twitter doc has no idea, and we may never know.

But I thought it was a tenet of medicine that you don't diagnose a patient you haven't examined. I guess not when something semi-political is involved.
