Buffalo Bills 2022 Thread

Was about to post the same thing. Who the heck is loading up on beer getting ready for more football?

I wonder how many were just waiting around to sober up for the drive. That was a raucous crowd, until it wasn’t.

If we needed anymore proof this guy is awful…

He was Mr. Clickbait before there was clickbait.

Great first step. Now here is to hoping everything neurological looks ok.

There is a lot of misinformation out there right now. Be careful what you share.

This is not referencing the tweets above, i think they are fine. There are some others out there who seem super unverfiable.

Chuck Hughes’ death 50 years ago is NFL tragedy we pray to never see again

Fifty years ago Sunday, the NFL saw its worst possible nightmare play out on the field at Tiger Stadium.

They completed that game:

This says that Hughes collapsed "in the final minute of the game", so I don't know if they finished it or not on that occasion.

His mom is at the game.

This is terrible. Just terrible.

Maybe better that she is, rather than at home.

Sports is the most human of activities because it only has the importance we choose to give it. Life is full of things so full of importance that we can be crushed by them when things go wrong. In those instances. the importance of sports evaporates. it will return when maters of life and death are not in the forefront of our minds.

Diggs took an Uber to the hospital. He's a real one. Love that dude.

This is one of those times where I wonder if we will eventually evolve out of football decades from now.

Seems like this was a bit of a freak scenario where he just got hit at the exact wrong spot at the exact wrong time. This type of injury used to be associated with baseball players taking a ball to the chest in freak scenarios too. I don’t think this injury is the kind of thing that spells the end of the NFL. The concussions and long term effects remain the scarier thing.

Over $1.3mill and counting. Truly incredible.

Bayless tried to do damage control in subsequent tweets, but the damage was done. He’s a bloviating, clickbait buffoon.

I don’t have cable, hence, I don’t see Ryan Clark on ESPN. I did tonight, though; he deserves an Emmy & a raise.

Clark and Booger have played the game and been in the locker room, they showed raw emotion tonight. Skip is a clickbait media artist that has made too many people like him rich today.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Clark is killing this tonight.

Heres the incident Clark was referring to for those that don’t know

Steelers safety Clark will be held out in Denver

When the Steelers open their season against the Broncos on Sunday night, Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark will not play because of the health risks imposed by Denver's high altitude.

The sad thing is I bet many companies would handle it this exact same way. In fact, just read the replies to the tweet.

I ran an office for years and one of my employees passed out and ended up having a seizure, I jumped over my desk and laid next to him holding his head while screaming to my assistant to call 911, the sales guy comes running in and a couple other people, the medics showed up and took him away, we knew nothing when he left, I sent everyone home and went to the hospital. The corporate office through the answering service got through to me, the President and the owner of the company called and wondered why I sent everyone home and how I need to contact them before shutting the office down. Between this and about 10 other reasons I quit shortly after and have zero desire to go back to work. I love money as much as the next guy, but lack of value placed on people’s lives and we’ll being compared to the bottom line just disgusts me.

 

[two3zone]

Maybe not even decades. I stopped watching the NFL a few years ago. I only watch SU football out of obligation.

Same. It’s no less disgusting than UFC.

I don't want to be too negative, but I think its important to be somewhat prepared mentally for possibilities. we've not been given many details so Im just going off what little I know and being quite nonspecific. We do know that his vitals are stable and he's intubated. this tells us next to nothing though. the issue here is the time it took for his heart to "restart" from when it first stopped. it doesn't take much time at all for permanent cell death to occur in the central nervous system, specifically brain and more specifically gray matter structures in the brain. Once that happens, it doesn't come back. anoxic brain edema is what ensues if its been deprived too long of "blood". The doctors wont necessarily know if that has occurred until tomorrow. (obviously if he gets visibly better, than yes, they can know earlier that it hasnt).

They can run diffusion MRI and look for massive stroke which will show up before anything on a CT, if that is positive, that is a bad sign that the visible edema will ensue.

I'm not saying that is what happened, im just saying prepare yourselves and dont take "vitals are stable" and what not as being out of the woods.

and i feel sick typing this just now. really sick like im being constantly kicked in the gut over and over...but I dont know what else to do other than say something.

value of life sure seems to keep decreasing while our ability to prolong it continues to increase. Sure seems like those two things should be going the same direction?
