If you're on Chrome use this extension to tell real blue checks from paid.

sounds like the NFL alright

NFL: “Damar Hamlin potentially died? They’re administering CPR & he’s being taken to a hospital? Darn. Here’s a Burger King whopper ad, and we’ll try to force the Bills and Bengals to keep playing through this traumatic incident!” pic.twitter.com/47d7TSfqf7

Correct. Each situation is different.

For most intents and purposes,
ACLS is the same in the ambulance, on the field, and in the ED.

Without return if circulation in the field, the prognosis is grim

and the beauty of children - depending on age - is compressions can be done in the arms of a rescuer

A lot of suckers out there. Or they're just attention whores.

Holy shit.

We still have another week of games to play. If the Bills lose to the Patriots and the Chiefs win, it's irrelevant if a result of this game is scored. Chiefs would have the #1 seed, and the 2 and the 3 would be determined by whether or not Cincy wins their week 18 matchup.

If events don't fall neat and tidy like that, you at least have an entire week to prep and determine as a league what the best decision is. That's better than abruptly telling these teams to play on a Tuesday and then have them haul ass to fit in Week 18.

It's not going to happen that way, because something about legal competitive balance something something yadda yadda, but if I were Goodell and could waive a magic wand, it's how I'd handle the situation.

Cancelling the game seriously hurts the Bills (and there's no way they're just gonna fit it in before the playoffs after next weekend if outcomes go a certain way). Just don't see it.

Hey, if anyone sees the hospital announcement, can you please let the rest of us know asap, and I'll do the same? I'm watching ESPNHD.

I know Goodell and the top execs aren't there and on the field, but why the **** did it come down to the teams deciding this? Why is it so hard for Goodell, who surely is getting real time info and updates of exactly what's happening, to just immediately suspend the game at the very least? Pretty unbelievable Goodell couldn't make the obvious declaration.

Update on Damar:

His vitals are back to normal and they have put him to sleep to put a breathing tube down his throat. They are currently running tests.

We will provide updates as we have them.

A lot of major news outlets picking this up. Seems legit.

Just amazing that it took the coaches to make the call—not the NFL.

I wish ESPN would call them out.

[ChiefsFanatic]

I dislike Roger Goodell, a lot.

But, the NFL getting hammered by people like Ryan Clark is getting a little out of hand.

Police stood outside a classroom while children were murdered, and one of the reasons was poor communication between people on the scene.

The Commissioner wasn't in attendance, as far as I know, and the President of the NFLPA was not in attendance, as far as I know.

It is understandable that the decision makers took time to get the correct information, talk to all concerned parties, and discuss options and possibilities, before making a decision or a statement to the media.

This situation is obviously not common, and for the most part unprecedented. The correct decision was made, and that's what matters.

Making millions of dollars playing the game that is a business, then talking about the game that is a business, and then criticizing the game because it's really a business, just doesn't resonate with me.

The NFL didn't come to Ryan Clark's house and force him to play in the NFL, so why suddenly act like the NFL being a business is evil?

Everyone, absolutely everyone involved in the NFL wants the young man to be well and to recover.

This is what it appeared, yeah. It's also another reason to think the NFL will try to have this played this week.

Basileus, something the matter, bro? You wanna talk about it?

Lol. ****ing tool.
