I didn't know anything about this until last night. I was talking to my dad on the phone last night about Hamlin and he brought up this guy.

Why not?

Super Bowl would be about 6 weeks before the draft, would be great.

The issue is the venues are booked for other events throughout the year.

If you try to postpone the Super Bowl 2-3 weeks there's a good chance that there will be scheduling conflicts with a Beyonce concert or something to that nature. Not to mention all the travel rearrangements people would have to make if the date changed.

Short of a national emergency, like we saw with the 9/11 attacks, I don't think they'll push the Super Bowl dates back.

The hell? What is this about? I'm not getting it.

 

[Bipo]

Who is Nick Sotor and why should I believe his tweet?

 

[Cotton]

Wait, what?

 

[Cotton]

Who is Nick Sotor and why should I believe his tweet?

My initial thought was "bullshit", but after seeing what I have seen over the last 2 1/2 years, who fucking knows.

 

[UncleMilti]

I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer but from what I understand the longer he stays in critical condition after this episode, the chances of a positive recovery become exponentially less, especially after 24 hours.

Yep, that is what I have heard as well.

Yeah, once you're intubated odds are very long. Afraid this will be called in another day or two, probably whenever the family decides.

Exactly. They'll find someone to blame it on and start burning some shit down. I would be the least surprised of anyone, I can assure you

Kind like the riots of 2021? Weird how that just disappeared.

Yeah. There will be anti-vax people and protests about player safety.

The way I see it, and I am no medical expert, but when there is this much silence and only theories, nobody knows what the fuck happened to the poor kid.

But that won't stop people from acting emotionally about it.

I don't think this one will be racially motivated. If it is, there are five loonies on a street corner.

 

[Cotton]

anti-vax people

Just to be clear, I am not anti-vax.

 

[Cotton]

I don't think this one will be racially motivated. If it is, there are five loonies on a street corner.

If you think those riots were truly racially motivated I'm not sure what to tell you.

 

[boozeman]

Which riots are we talking about again?

 

[Cotton]

Which riots are we talking about again?

Good lord.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Just to be clear, I am not anti-vax.

Don't you know that according to the new Websters, anyone who is against mandates is in fact anti-vax.
