CINCINNATI -- Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was taken off the field in an ambulance after receiving treatment on the field for over 10 minutes, which resulted in the game between the Buffalo Bills and- Cincinnati Bengals being suspended until further notice Monday night.
The most likely cause of neurological deficits is not a stroke but what we call anoxic encephalopathy. If deprived of oxygen long enough the brain cells die. While a stroke is localized to the area of the clotted vessel anoxic encephalopathy is more widespread
It was not an especially violent hit or collision. But it was odd and one you don’t see often (I can’t think off-hand of another I’ve seen that looked like it). The defender, Hamlin, was standing upright and the runner hit his helmet to his chest as Hamlin was bear hugging him and fell backward with the runner to the ground. The helmet’s crown was just under his chin but most of the contact appeared to be center chest.
It’s impossible to tell from watching video just how much force was taken on his sternum, and just because it didn’t appear particularly violent doesn’t mean that amount of force involved couldn’t have done some damage. We will have to wait until more detailed medical information is released.
My wife is a retired nurse and heard my groan and started CPR in five minutes. She went 10 mins before the parameds got here.
Wow, that’s a leap. I don’t think anything other than praying for this young man should be discussed right now, but you’ve taken this to another level by accusing someone of we wishing him dead to prove a point. Maybe I should pray for you instead.
I’ll accept that there could have been a lot of force, but that hit was glancing enough that I don’t think that is clearly the case. The hit was each both not head-on, not direct enough to be a stick, with a lot of sliding across the point of contact and more up into the shoulder.
We’ll have to wait and see.
I didn’t read all the posts, so I can’t say. I know you don’t wish people dead!
Sleep well and see you tomorrow!
What point which I said are you arguing with?
Also today:
Former linebacker for the NFL Uche Nwaneri (age 38) died Friday after being found unresponsive in the bedroom of his wife’s Indiana home.
“Police in West Lafayette received an emergency call from Nwaneri’s wife around 1 a.m. on Friday with a report that the former Jacksonville player had collapsed in the bedroom. An autopsy performed on Monday preliminarily revealed that Nwaneri died of an “enlarged heart with acute heart failure,” TMZ reported. An official cause will not be released until toxicology reports are available.”

Something weird is going on with sports figures. Are they doing some major drugs? Is Fentanyl-laced drugs to blame? Steroids maybe? Or is it something else?
This is NOT normal, I do not care how much the media and some people try to pretend that such a thing is nothing out of the ordinary.
I have to agree that Gas Dr can be abusive abd not just on this thread. Saying someone wishes death on another is defamatory and uncalled for.
Its never the vaxx is it doc? Crap. Have another booster. You can have mine. Exactly how far up your rear end is your head? Check excess deaths since the vaxx. Done.
Except one last thing. I’ve spent countless hours searching how my fully vaxxed family members might help their immune system recover from the spike protein but you don’t even start with a thought such as that. You do not even appear to think. Sad.
Yes, gas_dr projects some nasty things onto people just for the heck of it.
A few of us who haven’t gotten the Fauci-juice injection called ourselves “purebloods” and gas_dr immediately likened us Hitler and the Nazis. You know, because phrases can only have one meaning. < \sarc>
It says more about the person making such vile accusations than it does about the accused. I don’t understand why people have to be that way.
Prayers up for Damar Hamlin and his loved ones. 🙏
There are some of us, like me, who are paying for getting the vaccine. I have been diagnosed with Cerebral Vein Sinus Thrombosis that occurred 48 hours after vaccination. I was 39, athletic, and an Army Aviator.
Some people do get injured and some die due to this vaccine. The devil is in the details concerning the number. If the number is significantly high, do you trust the government to admit that?
The problem is there may not be any purebloods: Article from 2013 (to show how long it’s been around)

The steroids could be a big part of it.
More generally, we have tens of thousands (or hundreds of thousands?) of athletes now, doing things that would have been considered superhuman a few generations ago. Maybe there is a price to that, not unlike the shortened lifespans of most high productivity (in egg laying) hens....
“The world has stopped and calling for prayer. Hmmmmmmm !!
What, who , are they “ praying to”??
”
They pray to the great sport god in the sky since they don’t believe in God
What tests are they going to run on all players that they can't share with the public lest they open their eyes to the actual risk?
How fast can they disappear an injured player through one of the tunnels without risking being called out by other medical staff?
Will they extend the six-second delay to allow more time to cut camera feeds in the event a player collapses like this?
What doctor spokesmen minority female doctor is going to make which statement to the media?
How does such risk affect Las Vegas and the now-legal online sports betting?
What disclosures are Las Vegas bosses now expecting?
he didn’t take a direct hit. he wrapped the other guy and fell backwards while turning. it was literally a soft hit.
i’d love to see his blood work
the hit wasn’t hard. he wasn’t standing against the runner, rooted. he wrapped him up and went with him, twisting to put himself on top
selection bias.
these people are in the spotlight so we hear about them when something happens to them.
imagine how many this is happening to but we don’t hear about it.
I posted that earlier.
