Me too. I expect it at some point. I hope it isn’t today.

I remember hearing a story from decades ago where a HS player died instantly on the field, and the medics pretended to do CPR etc because they didn’t  want the crowd to know they saw someone die.

Always wondered what the NFL would do.

 

 

You may be referring to Phil Hughston, who died from injuries at Garinger High School in 1971.  The field is named after him.  His brother Chuck is married to my wife's cousin.

He required CPR, so this is normal. Anyone receiving CPR has to be intubated.

The best new information is that he's alive. 

It’s f*cking horrible. He might be alive but he was given CPR for almost 10 minutes meaning that’s 10 minutes his brain and other organs might have not been getting oxygen. Being intubated means a host of other pathogens can get into your body in an already weakened state. It’s so awful and am praying for that man and his family. This is just terrible.

Based on the most recent US Commotio Cordis Registry data, 58% of individuals have survived a commotio cordis episode in recent years. Overall, survival trends following exercise- or sports-related sudden cardiac arrest from all causes in young athletes is improving.

Wow.....Those fans who were still sitting and ONLY GOT UP AFTER THE Public Address announcment came through that the game was called.....Those fans SUCK.

 

PERIOD.

Some of them may have been expecting positive news about the player, or may have just been waiting for lots to empty etc... don't judge the fans in this circumstance.

Goodell. The NFL's policy on these situations has already been posted. It's his call.

right, not sure what's hard about this. As long as there are no safety complications for fans or players associated with announcing the cancellation quickly (no idea what those would even be, but just saying), no reason at all to wait this fuging long. disgusting

PERIOD.

They may have had less of an idea what’s going on than we do. May have been waiting for an announcement on the player.

It was frustrating that it took that long to announce it, but they all knew it was postponed pretty quickly. 

only because the players/coaches refused to play. or that's how the NFL has now made this look. which is absolutely pathetic.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
