ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs ***** Official Bengals/Bills GDT *****

Guys, I tend to hate the NFL/Goodell as much as anyone, but we need to pump the brakes just a skosh here. Pretty much all the NFL has done so far is follow their playbook of procedures. Which is what they're there for. To buy them time to think up the right response. Now, in this particular case, which has never happened before in anyone's memory, the playbook is falling short of the proper response. But it's also really vanilla. That's what the playbook is for. Slow things down until they can figure out what to actually do. Every large corporation operates like this.

They're waiting to see what happens with Hamlin before they do anything, that's all.

To hell with you and your perfectly measured response!

Guess it depends on how much one believes in the old saying about no news.

Make sense. Just opens it up to even more questions and speculation.

“When will testing be completed?”

“Don’t know.”

And so on.

It's also almost midnight there. Can't imagine it's normal for the hospital to be hosting press conferences in the middle of the night.

Hospital can't really release any information it has to come from the family due to HIPAA.

Or family signs a release.

That’s my thought too. The ED or critical care team might have just said “no” and the PR team was a few drinks deep at home before shit hit the fan.

Of course, they understand the risks and get well compensated for them. That's the way it works.

I'm just referring to unspoken truth here that this is a very dangerous game that is effectively killing its participants and that if you start cancelling games over player injuries, where does it end exactly for the league?

I certainly wouldn’t want to make those calls.

Goodell certainly gets paid enough to do so. He's gonna have to.

How many times did you see this?

Watched more ESPN tonight than I have in a long time just hoping for good news. It's like the old days of rewatching ESPN highlight shows from 7a-11a over and over with really no new info coming. But, I can't turn it off.
