NFL Trash Talkers Thread

Watching a Reddit thread where Bengals Nation has been donating to Hamlin’s charity.

They’re up to over $1M so far.

 

they should donate it to his family tbh

 

When Cincy played spoiler and knocked Pittsburgh out of the playoffs so the Bills got the slot instead, the Bills Mafia donated over $500K to Andy Dalton’s charity. There’s been a love-fest between Buffalo and Cincy ever since.

 

Pretty wild. I wonder what happened, because that tackle looked pretty routine.

 

There’s still a lot we don’t know about human frailties.

 

Commotio cordis

If a person is struck in the chest at a specific time in the heart rhythm cycle, the heart’s electrical signal can be interrupted, resulting in the heart stopping. This rare cause of the heart suddenly stopping is called “commotio cordis.” The blunt force that causes commotio cordis often comes from a hard object or ball hitting the chest, such as a baseball, a softball, or a hockey puck, but it can come from any type of blow. The average victim of commotio cordis is 14 years of age. Young people are at higher risk because the chest wall is less developed and transmits force more easily

Over $3M now.

 

A friend mentioned this morning it occasionally happens in little league. Of course, more information is needed to confirm this is the case with Damar, but it looks like a distinct possibility.

 

Vegas nerve is responsible for a lot more than hiccups. My 90 year old MD father has been preaching about it for as long as I can remember. It’s a freak event but not unknown, just unpredictable. Hopefully the CPR was sufficient to keep his brain going. “Heart attack” covers a lot of ground so keep your hopes up everyone.

 

$3.3M now.

 

Both in general and in Hamlin's particular case perhaps. Many times things go undiagnosed until something happens.

 

$4.5M now. $5M and counting.

I hope that he is able to see all the good work done soon.

 

Reports coming out that he’s able to breathe on his own and they’re looking at bringing him out of the coma.

 

NFL hasn’t said anything other than week 18 will continue as usual. The matter of this game is still being debated.

 

Thanks, hope that question didn’t sound insensitive to what’s going on. Just curious how they’re going to handle this.
