NFL OFF-SEASON THREAD 2022-23: FanDuel getting everybody hemmed up. ESPN went Kamikaze. We in that dead zone of the year y’all.

This is real nasty...even for Skip

Nobody misinterpreted that first tweet

Ryan Clark providing some great insight right now

 

[frink85]

RC speaking from real experience in this situation, glad that he's in the studio tonight

 

[T0INE]

Da **** up Skip.

 

[sole searchin]

Yea from covid stuff and lil fake rumors. Crazy how people are on twitter

Covid stuff running wild and why?! Makes no sense.

RC one of the few insightful dudes at ESPN.

 

[townbidness]

Bum

 

[Kierris]

Who wouldn't look distraught in this situation? I hate reporters like this, he knows exactly what he's doing. Please let Damar be ok.

 

[witnesskb24]

Not home right now but saw they ended the game. Did they cut the broadcast too? Or are they still on the air doing a postgame type show with highlights from other games

 

[D StaXX]

Cant even lie, I’m shook about this.
Went from having fun and being a drunk football fan at the Tulane/USC game, to being somber as hell. We watch and root for this gladiator **** when it’s potentially life and death. I just can’t believe the entire world just saw this. This game is stupid.

Yep. Will someone cancel is *** finally?


Also, Ryan Clark with good info. Mike Tomlin is a great dude.

 

[D StaXX]

Didn’t think I could be a bigger Tomlin fan, but here we are.

Mike Tomlin is a great dude.

Didn’t think I could be a bigger Tomlin fan, but here we are.

i missed it but what was said?

 

[651akathepaul]

I dont wanna be watching this, but I'm just waiting to hear something positive. SVP show looking like a real news broadcast with a guy posted up at the hospital. This is unreal.

 

[jrp44]

Wonder if he had some undiagnosed medical condition or something? Man hope he's ok

 

[elpablo21]

Not home right now but saw they ended the game. Did they cut the broadcast too? Or are they still on the air doing a postgame type show with highlights from other games

SVP only talking about the incident. Reporter at the hospital, speaking to Lisa, Joe and Troy

SVP is talking to Buck/Aikman and now someone at the hospital.

 

[frink85]

i missed it but what was said?

RC relayed a story about him wanting to play a game in Denver and gathering doctors and family etc. in a meeting for support and Mike shut them and him down immediately. Would not let him play.

It’s a lot of speculation out there.

Let’s pray he’s alive and well after this.

 

[af1 1982]

SVP was the correct guy to lead the broadcast at a time like this

 

[DeadsetAce]

I dont wanna be watching this, but I'm just waiting to hear something positive. SVP show looking like a real news broadcast with a guy posted up at the hospital. This is unreal.

yeah just got it on to catch any positive news

 

[superblytrife]

I get that the media has to report on this, but this prolonged coverage still feels kinda gross. Maybe just cancel programming for awhile and interrupt if any news breaks.

 

[aepps20]

Great point.

Years ago, I had to go with my pops for a doctor's appointment. Out of nowhere, he lies on the ground and says he feels weak and can't move.

Someone came and tried to ask some questions, but he wasn't too responsive.

Someone must've pressed a button or something, but I've never seen people move so fast. There must've been 10-15 doctors/nurses there within 30-45 seconds. It's like they came out of the ceiling on some museum robbery ****.

I've never seen people move with such urgency and care.

All those years of schooling and experience in a room in the blink of an eye.

Ultimately pops was just crazy dehydrated, and something like that can debilitate you, especially in older age.

Thankfully Damar got the same or even faster urgency, given the circumstances. God willing, his recovery will be heavily based on their urgency.

The health care folk are built different. Superheroes.

Before my mom died she had to be intubated when she got pneumonia. She would've died then if not for the quick actions of the nurses and doctors

Genuine question

Is football the ONLY sport with THIS MANY INJURIES?

Like there’s no other sport out there that has this many players every game being escorted out in some way shape or form having something broken or being concussed

( aside from mma and boxing where the entire point of the sport is to demolish your opponent)

 

[D StaXX]

i missed it but what was said?

Ryan Clark assembled a team of doctors to convince Mike Tomlin that he could play the game. Ryan said he had a 30 minute presentation to convince him and Tomlin stopped him 5 minutes into it and kicked everyone out to say “if you were my son, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation”
