Patriots/NFL 2022 Regular Season Part 2: 7-8 week 17 vs. Dolphins

From Demar Hamlin's representative:

 

[Dellstrom]

I truly hope they are giving him the support he needs. He did nothing wrong

Impossible to imagine the thoughts and emotions he's having right now. I'm sure his family/friends/others around the league have, are and will check in on him.

 

[Alicat]

Fans are donating to the toy drive he’s running

 

[Score8]

I get these tv people have a job to do, and this has to be awfully tough situation to navigate, but some producer needs to tell them to stop talking about rescheduling the game. It’s coming off really frigging bad.

Full disclosure, that gofundme is from 2020. I'm sure everyone involved will make sure the right thing happens with all the donations, but people should know

Thankfully I didn't see this. I saw Christian Eriksen in real time. That was the most frightening thing I have ever seen in sports. I 100% thought he died. Amongst the confusion you saw everything in that instance. The motionless body and glazed eyes.

From a football perspective I sincerely hope the NFL doesn't think they need to squeeze this game in now. What's done is done. It's a no contest. If that ends up hurting any particular team in the standings so be it. Any team that dares to complain should be dragged in the media for being absolutely foolish.

It’s just reality. How many times can they repeat how unfortunate the situation is and thoughts and prayers? These analysts aren’t prepared for this, they’re winging it. They’re doing a better job than I would.

They have to mention it because people and flocking to them. Will be interesting to see how local news will handle this as they are scheduled to start at 11:30

I cannot even imagine watching a beloved coworker and friend possibly die right in front of me, then have my boss tell me I have 5 minutes to get back to work. Kudos to the coaches and players for doing the right thing. Whoever made the decision to try to restart the game should be shot into the sun.

Almost better off not making anybody talk about it until you get more info. Throw a 30 for 30 on air and break in when you have either news that he will be ok or that the worst has happened.

The dumbest billion dollar enterprise ever

Stephon Diggs just went into the medical center to be with his teammate

From Demar Hamlin's representative:

That's the best news I've heard in awhile

May God Bless you and be with you tonight Damar

 

[bobbyorr04]

Gooddell is such an ass

He's probably more concerned with a lawsuit and negative press than he is about Damar's health

 

[BruinsFan37]

Full disclosure, that gofundme is from 2020. I'm sure everyone involved will make sure the right thing happens with all the donations, but people should know

Part of me wishes that, if people had 1.7 million (as of tonite) available to donate to charity, that they had done it without needing someone to nearly die on the field.

Grateful that's he's stable, and hopefully he makes a full recovery. Truly a freakishly scary event.

 

[JRull86]

Scary scary scary event.

Hope he pulls through and is able to live a normal life.

Personally if I was in his position, I'd never play another down, but that's just me.

 

[Johnnyduke]

It's at least looking exactly like the Christian Eriksen. His heartbeat being restored on the field is very promising and thank God for the players and medical personnel who acted with the needed urgency.

 

[Alicat]

His marketing rep said that they revived him and that his family is with him and that he’s sedated bc of the breathing tube which is standard in cardiac events.

I honestly don’t care about our game. It is meaningless. Damar’s recovery is paramount

 

[Johnnyduke]

 

[RoccoF14]

Gooddell is such an ass

Agreed.

He's probably more concerned with a lawsuit and negative press than he is about Damar's health

That's a bit harsh, but you believe what you want. I can understand the sentiment however, based on the shit that gets posted on Twitter by so-called "journalists" like Brendan Sugrue (whoever the f*** he is...) and then re-posted here.

 

[JRull86]

The most likely event that occured is commotio cordis. This is the same thing that happened to Chris Pronger.

Basically, blunt force trauma to the chest occurs at the exact moment the hearts rhythmic cycle is restarting, and causes cardiac arrest.

Obviously there could be underlying circumstances, but all signs point to an absolute freak accident.

Tough to say, but that's definitely a possibility. It definitely added a dose of perspective for me, and I'd hope, sports fans in general. Hopefully he has a full recovery and can resume his career, and hopefully people will keep that perspective in mind before they hit send on a tweet the next time he misses a crucial tackle or makes a bad play..

As weird as this may sound, he's actually lucky that this happened on the field, with the equipment and the emergency staff so readily available. They truly saved his life. Had that happened at the grocery store, or at the gym this might have been a very different ending.

Yeah I mean obviously no one will know what truly happened until a diagnosis is revealed, but I think what I said is the most likely cause. Just makes a lot of sense given what we actually saw.

But you are right, the best place outside of an actual hospital for that to happen, was where it did. Trainers were on the field in something like 15s doing CPR and eventually an AED.

Pats pushed availability to later this week.

Zo says they are in a holding pattern right now
