I imagine this is hiatting all the players especially pretty hard because while they are accustomed to the specter of musculoskeletal and potentially neurological injuries, cardiorespiratory especially sudden cardiac arrest wasn't on their mind.  If it ends up being commotio cordis rather than some genetic predisposition or other illness specific to Hamlin, I can't imagine what affect that'll have on young players.  Commotio cordis is super rare in its own right, but it can happen to anyone.

Take a look at the list of donators to the charity as well. Robert Kraft and the Patriots, Matthew Stafford, Josh McDaniel, Tom Brady, Russ Wilson, Shannon Sharpe, George Kittle, Devin McCourty and his brother Jason, and on and on.

About to break $6 million by the way.

On top of those people, nearly 200,000 others donated. If I could thank them Jay and Silent Bob style but with hugs, I'd do it.

You sure? We seem to have the whole country thinking God is unaware of the situation and has a will that bends to everyone begging God to intervene

He was too busy helping kids pass their 4th grade math test, figure out friendships, saving hamsters, getting someone out the door on time, etc etc. I think his to do list is 30000 years long at this point

Commotio cordis sounds like what the pro wrestling move "heart punch" was about, a disruption of heart rhythm.  The move was popularized by Stan Stasiak and Ox Baker, the later being credited with killing two other wrestlers with the move.  They actually died of other heart-related problems but the heart punch got the blame to enhance his already terrifying reputation.

So I was convinced the guy was dead, you know?   And it turns out he was just extremely sleepy.   Will he be available for the make-up game?   There's money riding on this.

Jesus, dude.  They changed a picture on Twitter.  Calm them titties.

If you want insincerity, take wagers on which beer / car / phone / etc companies run a relevant commercial the next couple of weekends.  All in printed letters, maybe even with piano music in the background, all about "perspective" and "family" "uniting" and "togetherness" and closing out with the number 3 and "pray"

It's on the way, and there's a disingenuous bingo card just for you.

Praying is just to make the prayer feel better and that they did something.  if prayer worked a whole BUNCH of kids wouldn't get cancer or kidnapped and murdered.

If you do it under a blanket, he can't see you. Works the same for monsters too.

The last time we saw such unity from the NFL was when all 32 franchises changed their profile picture to the infamous white/gold or black/blue dress, and the discussions about what color the dress actually was were so heated that they spilled into the owners meetings that year.

I think people are sincere, but at some point the sceptic in me starts seeing virtue signaling.

Wait, really? Crap!

I hope St. Peter is a fast reader. Otherwise, the people in line after me are gonna have a long wait.

It helps in indirect ways, if done properly.  And by properly I mean silently.

It won't make Hamlin recover any faster, but its not for him.
