I am finding myself rooting for Minnesota over New England! WTF? I can’t not root for Kurt, though and this Jefferson guy is pretty awesome. If Kurt can get the ball anywhere near him, he will catch it.

What are some of these ads even for? What is Matthew M plugging now? He wasn’t in or near a car, so it’s not a Lincoln. And why is everyone dancing in ads now?

Just when I think A-Ron is dead, he throws one of those amazing TDs.

Anyone else unsurprised by Washington fumbling the Sean Taylor tribute? Me, either.

The game was on but I wasn't really paying attention. Heard something about the Sean Taylor thing, 15th year since his murder and they were supposed to do something. I tuned it out as soon as they said "former Commanders greats Fred Smoot and Ricky Ervins..."
They were there for the tribute I guess but they never played for the Commanders. Stupid fucking name.

I just saw photos. When I heard earlier in the week that they were unveiling a Sean Taylor statue, I was surprised. Wasn’t Snyder planning to move? Why erect a statue at FedEx? Now I see — that “statue” will be a breeze to move. Even I could move it!
Speaking of which - when did I become so fucking helpless? I used to install ceiling fans, for fuck sake. I have light bulbs I can’t replace now! And I bought a new shower head but am worried now that I won’t be able to get it installed. I’ve replaced many shower heads. I. Hate. Me.

This game (MNF) has been extremely ugly. Brady is in the process of hopefully pulling out a win (score is 16-10, saints 10 seconds to go, TB on NO’s 5).
Touchdown! Oops. Sorry, offensive holding.

Supposedly there's a great video out there of Eli Manning narrating Brady's latest temper tantrum.

I’m watching tonight’s game. I haven’t seen Brady play much this year. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to watch if he’s truly faded as much as some are saying.

Bucs need 1 yard for a first. They run basically the same fucking play 3 fucking times!

This game has been a snooze fest. I’ve been switching between this and a Criminal Minds marathon to keep myself awake. Neither team can protect the QB and AZ is starting a rookie for the first time and he’s currently beating Brady! And Brady has thrown 2 INTs. Ugly.

So, I just found out that Mark Rypien has a nephew in the NFL! Brett Rypien is the backup QB for the Broncos and was part of the impetus for the head coach being fired. (He was arguing with another player on the sideline - pushing and shoving, and the management felt the coach had lost control of the team. )

I see some of the Hogs are going to court and trying to get trademarked before Danny can, you know, sell more seats by having a "tribute" this weekend. I saw a picture of them this morning from the 80s and could name every single one by face and jersey number. The Fun Bunch better lawyer up too!

I didn't see that, but good for them! I would have had a lot more respect for the team if they had done one of two things 1) Renamed the team in consultation with native tribes in the area they represent DC, MD and VA. If those tribes said the Redskins was a fine name, then promote both the good things those tribes did, along with the issues facing tribes today with a link to find out more and help. So something like - The Redskins name honors the tribes and people native to this land and area. The XXX, YYY and ZZZ tribes have a rich history and many of their practices are seen in our current culture and government. To learn more about these tribes and how to help honor and preserve their heritage, please visit www.XYZ.comIf the tribes said the name was indeed hateful, then work with them to see if there was a name or names that would honor the tribes or the spirit of the Indians before releasing a new name. If there were multiple names suggested, then have a fan vote. 2) Left the name as the Washington Football Team or the Washington Football Club - the Commanders is totally lame. Snyder knows he fucked up and is trying to backtrack by appropriating things fans loved about the past. The saddest thing is that he could have fixed this long ago by simply acknowledging that the name 'Redskins' can be seen as offensive to people, and promoting the history of the tribes in the area with an encouragement to learn more. I think that would have gone a long, long way towards satisfying many of the people who didn't like the name. And yeah, the fight song needed a change - Braves on the Warpath is pretty offensive, considering most of the tribes in the area were pretty much live and let live types.

And, again, the Sean Taylor “statue” is lame. I saw a photo of a new statue honoring a basketball star and that was truly an awesome honor.

Oh you know any tribute they do to the hogs will be beyond lame.
And if the mascot is a hog, it will look like Porky Pig!

How the mighty have fallen....
And speaking of falling - why did they keep Wentz in? Did they WANT to miss the playoffs?

I didn’t watch. But I saw a headline saying the coach didn’t realize the game was a must win to get in the playoffs!!! WTF?

Damar Hamlin’s collapse on field was possibly caused by a hit to the chest at a specific point to cause the heart to stop beating. If that’s the case, does he return to playing?

Post by minx on Jan 3, 2023 10:26:56 GMT -5
Yeah, how can you not know what your team needs to do to make the playoffs? Idiot.
And Hamlin's collapse was super-scary. He's in critical condition right now. Hoping he recovers and is smart enough to retire. Also glad that the NFL suspended the game indefinitely rather than immediately trying to reschedule.

I hope Bezos buys the team and makes the mascot look like the flying penis rocket. Prime.
I just read about the kid for the Bills. I wonder if he had an underlying condition or if the impact of the tackle just sent his heart into afib. It's certainly a huge advantage to have all that professional medical attention right there on the field. I hear they worked on him on the field for almost 30 minutes.

I love that the players surrounded him for privacy. I’ve seen clips of the play and aftermath and didn’t notice anything unusual about the hit. I think it was all in the timing. Although, the fact that he’s still critical is concerning. I wonder if there was brain damage from lack of oxygen?

I have it on good authority that Bill Gates personally vaccinated this kid with death puss.
On the other side of reality, most cardiologists are speculating that the hit coincided with a very pinpoint moment in the electrical rhythm (they are almost all showing that same spot on a typical EKG) and it has a medical term. It will be interesting to hear from his care team if that is what they suspect as well.

Have to add that the guy is still medically sedated, which is not unusual in a situation like this. BIL had a major heart attack 6 years ago and was sedated for about a week afterwards before they took him off all the stuff. He's fine now.
Hoping that's the case for this guy too. Many deaths in children and teens from this in their league games. There was a column touting the need for defibrillators at all sports sites to combat this. Anyone hit with a baseball or hockey puck in the chest (or back) at the exact second can suffer this.

He’s sedated because he’s on a ventilator. I’m wondering why he’s not able to breathe on his own? Uncle says oxygen has been reduced by half as of early Wednesday.
And John, I think the term you’re looking for is commotio cordis.

When you're on a vent, they wean you off gradually - so reducing oxygen percentage to half is excellent news.

Hamlin is still on the vent, but they did wake him up and he's able to write things - so a very good sign.
