Mr. Scot

Maybe I'm cynical, but it does kinda sound like a "that's my story and I'm sticking to it" sort of answer.

What a surreal night

Our old beat writer Alaina Getzenberg currently on ESPN. (she now covers the Bills)

Thought crossed my mind as well...

That...is... horsesh-t

Ben Albright has since debunked that story.

Chargers have been considered a possibility but might be less likely now.

Tepper has stated he won't give another coach full power.

Scott Van Pelt reported that Hamlin's mother was seen with her arm around Tee Higgins. Can't even imagine...

Lady Cowboy Fan said the same.

Gotcha. I hadn't been looking at Twitter as much as watching TV. Lady Cowboy Fan and I have been glued to ESPN pretty much since it happened.

It does.

That's good news. Kinda wondering why this isn't more widely reported.

Parents pulling their kids out of football as well.

It's definitely possible. He's the only guy saying it right now, though. That's why I have questions.

If he announced his retirement tomorrow, would anyone blame him? Would anyone be shocked?

Practically speaking, does it even have to be true? If people believe that's what happened, they'll be out for blood.

This seems kinda sketchy.

Sadly, I've actually experienced that situation. A coworker (who was a good friend of mine) collapsed and died on the job right after returning from lunch. I had left sick that day so I wasn't there. Didn't find out till the next morning. It was absolutely devastating. The office administrators had also gone home, but the ranking manager there made the decision to close the building down. He didn't technically have the authority to do so but he basically said "screw that". He wasn't gonna try and make people work in the face of something that horrible. To their credit, the administration agreed and closed the office until a few days after the funeral. The day they reopened, they had a ceremony in his memory.

That's pretty easy to believe.

Totally agree. It's bad enough that I believe Goodell should step down over this.

From what's been reported, the league told them they needed to get ready to play again in five minutes. Zac Taylor went over to the Bills sideline to talk to Sean McDermott. The two of them agreed they weren't going back out there and took their players back to the locker room.
