Let's not get too worked up and start saying things we can't take back.

So, seriously, is the NFL waiting for ESPN to run the full quota of commercials for the game before they announce anything?

[JesusSweatDuck 17810]

The "waiting for his mom" just seems so ominous.  I just have this feeling if he was awake and alert we would have already heard something

This is feeling like one of Goodell's Top 10 fuckups.  Why is it so hard to do the right thing?  At the very least, it's a safety issue for the other players -- elite athletes playing a violent game with their minds elsewhere is a recipe for additional disaster.  Beyond that, it's an insult to Hamlin and his family.  

Are there no adults in the NFL front office?  Don't answer that.

As much as I hate Goodell, I don't see any problem with giving it as much as an hour or so until more information is known, to be absolutely sure. Ain't nobody goin' nowhere anyway until they find out the status of Hamlin. Ultimately, it's probably up to the teams to decide if they wish to continue, which they probably don't unless they get some news that changes things.

I’ve watched Hamlin since high school at Central Catholic. He’s a good dude. Met him more than a few times. Praying for him to be okay.

Allentown central Catholic?

Joe Burrow seems like a class act all around 

[millhouse 2617]

The fact that the coaches have to be the adults in this situation is horseshit. Get fucked Roger 

[C-Man 27262]

If they tell you what happened they will have to refund the ad slots. 

I think the NFL will be ok if they have to do that.

Pittsburgh Central. Adjacent to Pitt and Carnegie Mellon campus

[Jshep34 2321]

Skip should be fired for that post. Nfl should be dragged thru the coals for the 5 minute suck it up and get back on the field mindset.
Prayers for Hamlin.

[troph 24905]

I agree the game should be called but it’s not like we haven’t seen grave, grave, life as you know it over (not dead) type catastrophic injuries and they just keep going. It’s a fucking brutal sport, one we love to watch but it’s a sport that makes about as much sense as boxing. Yes call the game, we all agree because we are decent people. Asking an organization that just keeps the clock rolling through catastrophic spinal injuries shouldn’t be expected to handle this all that well.

This reminded me of that moment with Lane Frost.  They look eerily similar.

Yep. Also Reminds me of watching the post race of the 2001 Daytona 500.

Definitely. Even if he was stabilized, you’d think they’d want to get him to the hospital ASAP. Reading between the lines, then taking the time to wait for his mother seems to indicated a worst case scenario. Also, the NFL would want to get ahead of this as quickly as possible if they could publicize that’s he’s not dead or is in stable condition.

Stefon Diggs came out of the locker room in a towel, he already undressed and showered. that sounds pretty official to me, at least form the players.

[PittsburghTiger 6196]

Don’t know how accurate

[Rimbo 26098]

Yeah, game's over. Bills staff is loading up equipment, players coming out of the locker rooms without their gear on.

[Michael Knight 12995]

looks like its gonna be canceled 

[JesusSweatDuck 17810]

Looks like they're making the right decision to cancel but nothing official 

[BrickTop 477]

Don’t know how accurate
 
 

If his pulse is back it’s great and indicates discontinuation of CPR, it’s how long it was stopped and his brain without 02 that comes into play now.

Doesn't exactly seem like a source worth a damn.

[TexArcher 38063]

Players Union should be on the phone with Goodell explaining some pretty fucking massive consequences if they attempt another snap in this game.

[Lat22 4017]

Who gives a shit about the game? Of course they’re playing any more. The ambulance waiting on mom was not good at all. They’re probably making notifications to his family. It’s horrible.

I guess the hope is that he isn't in a coma or suffered brain damage?

This reminds me of watching my 8th grade head football coach die on the field right in front of me.  He had just been hired away by a smaller school district to be their varsity head coach, so instead of doing offseason practice, we had a pick-up game of touch football.  The QB threw the ball to him and one of the other coaches flew over to try and breakup the pass.  He hit him hard in the chest and coach dropped to the ground.  The other coach laughed and asked him if he was okay, and he kinda chuckled, got up and started to say "Ya, I'm okay" but he didn't even finish the statement before he dropped back down and let out a brief groan.  The whole thing played out no more than 3 or 4 feet in front of me.  They immediately started CPR and called and ambulance and everything, but he never regained consciousness again.  Apparently he had an underlying heart condition and the impact just stopped his heart.  That happened in 1985 and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

[Hagbard Celine 10923]

can he breathe on his own

that's the question

[4th&Five 41590]

 

[millhouse 2617]

They really need to cut away from all this. Continuing to talk and speculate is not fair to the players or anyone else involved 

[Buzzrock 14941]

The "waiting for his mom" just seems so ominous.  I just have this feeling if he was awake and alert we would have already heard something 

But if he was unresponsive I would think you would be racing for the hospital and not waiting for anyone.

[4th_and_18 687]

Not according to multiple reports.

[C-Man 27262]

Dang. Just re watched in real time.. the hit was pretty loud. 
 
sounded a lot worse than it looked. 
 
prayers 

Yeah, it was a high impact collision.

Exactly, not good news

[Vic Mackey 47150]

Is this it? Can he finally get fired/cancelled? Seriously Skip. Shut. The Fuck. Up.

He gets paid to do this, though. Look how many people are sharing what he says. His bosses love it.
