Was excited to see the Bills and Bengals play tonight. But with about 5 mins left in the 1st quarter, Buffalo Bills CB Damar Hamlin made a seemingly routine tackle, got up, and immediately feel backwards. ESPN said they were doing CPR on him for a while, were using a defibrolator, gave him oxygen. He was loaded into an ambulance. Players decided to suspend play until further notice. Not good. I've seen some horrific injuries before, but never seen someone need CPR before. Obviously a serious serious injury, possibly broken neck or something, although no one is saying anything about it yet.

Hope this dude pulls through 100%.

They are talking about a blunt force trauma to the chest causing the heart to lose rhythm.  The shoulder pads extend over the upper chest and would normally absorb/distribute the force of the hit.  This may be a fluke accident.  I am definitely praying for his full recovery.

Good news and bad news. He's still alive at this point. Considering he was obviously not breathing and without a heartbeat for a number of minutes, I think that's a really good sign. I haven't heard anything about him being awake or responsive at all, which is the bad news. It doesn't take that long that if the brain goes without oxygen for long enough, permanent cell death and brain damage occurs. Looks like they were able to get CPR to him quickly enough to save his life, but considering he was an athlete in the middle of intense physical exertion, perhaps his body and brain needed more oxygen at the time than CPR could provide and it wasn't enough to prevent brain damage.

I honestly did not expect him to live through the night. Scary shit. When I saw the ambulance pulling away slow like they were in no hurry at all, I thought the worst. Glad he's still hanging in there. Hoping for the best.

GO DAWGS!

Dwayne Haskins was drunk (almost 3 times the legal limit) and had drugs in his system when he was walking on a Interstate and got hit by a dump truck.

The family has now filed a lawsuit against 4 people, 2 restaurants, a Golf driving range, and a hotel.  The lawsuit claims that he was drugged.  I guess they don't know who did it, so let's get everyone in the lawsuit that he saw that night.
