Its called: You love someone. Just goes to show how terrible people are.

You have your family, living on the streets, yet you don't care.

Jesus wept.

Let me know when you have a loved one that is homeless.

You’re speaking like an expert despite never having this experience.

Did you live with your parents when they were alive?

   no surprise when you have guys like this playing.

Broke before retirement since he is unofficially still a free agent.  4.2 million  . Thought Bill Romanowski was a clown.

[Mayday]

Looks like he just took a hit at a really bad spot and it was lights out.

Remove the helmets and the armour and all your crazy head injuries and the like will go away.

Our footy doesn’t run any protective gear and we don’t have any of the long term problems you guys have because when you don’t have a helmet you don’t want to run head on into another dude’s head.

There’s injuries in all sports be it collision or non-collision injuries. You can’t do away with sport that’s been around for over 150 years because of this or any other injury

1000%.. american football needs to have the exact same gear as Rugby and 90% of the injuries in the NFL will disappear overnight

How Will the Suspended Bills-Bengals Game Be Resolved?
The N.F.L. has a number of options, none of them perfect, for how to handle competition for the last week of the regular season and the playoffs.

While matters of competition are secondary after the harrowing injury to Damar Hamlin on Monday night, the N.F.L. still finds itself with a knotty problem as it approaches the last week of its regular season. How will it resolve the Bills-Bengals game that was suspended after the injury?

The league says it is focused on Hamlin’s health, and as of Wednesday had made no decision on the possible resumption of the game, which could be pivotal in the playoff chase. But with the regular season scheduled to end this week and teams battling for the playoffs, which were set to begin on Jan. 14, the N.F.L. can’t wait too long to resolve its plans.

Commissioner Roger Goodell, in a memo to teams on Tuesday, said the games originally planned for Week 18, including the matchups of Patriots at Bills and Ravens at Bengals, were still on the schedule. The Bengals said Wednesday that they planned to play the Ravens at 1 p.m. Eastern on Sunday.

In a conference call on Wednesday, the N.F.L. said conversations about what to do about the suspended Bengals-Bills game were ongoing.



The eventual result of the game — or nonresult — could have a significant impact on several playoff teams. Whatever decision is made could lead to changes in playoff seeding or perhaps prompt teams to play on short rest.

More on Damar Hamlin’s Collapse
N.F.L.’s Violent Spectacle: The appetite for football has never been higher, even as viewers look past the sport’s toll on players’ lives. Damar Hamlin’s collapse should force a reconsideration, our columnist writes.
In Buffalo: The Bills have offered the city a welcome distraction from a wrenching year. Now that shell of easy escapism has been shattered.
Schedule Scenarios: How will the N.F.L. resolve the Bills-Bengals game that was suspended after the injury? The league has a number of options.
ESPN’s Coverage: Within minutes of Mr. Hamlin’s collapse, the sports network transformed from being a broadcaster of a football game to being at the center of a major news event.
What are the potential options for the league?

Squeeze in the game.
Both the Bills and Bengals are scheduled to play their final regular-season games on Sunday. The league has already said it would not resume their suspended game this week. With the playoffs starting the week after, and both the Bills and the Bengals involved, the window would be small to fit in another game before the wild-card matchups start on Saturday, Jan. 14.

It is more or less a sacrosanct policy that football teams at any level play no more than once a week. During the 2020 and 2021 seasons, the league took great pains to maneuver games disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic in a way that teams were not playing too frequently. Some teams effectively lost their open weeks as a result.

Only nine minutes of the Bills-Bengals game were played, meaning that if it were resumed at the point it stopped, nearly a full game would have to be completed. Given the current schedule, with playoff games starting Jan. 14, it seems almost impossible to find a time for the resumption of the game that would not involve risking exhaustion or injury for players.

Call the game a tie or a no contest.
If the N.F.L. decides it cannot find a date for the game, it might decide to drop it, perhaps calling it a tie. It could also simply call it a nongame and determine the Bills’ and Bengals’ final records based on 16 games rather than 17.

This solution might seem more palatable if the game meant little. But the game is actually quite important for both teams, who are safely in the playoffs but fighting for the No. 1 seed, which comes with a valuable playoff bye. Their finishes also have implications for other teams, notably Kansas City.

The Bills can gain that No. 1 seed if they win the Bengals game as well as their final game of the year on Sunday. The Bengals can also get the slot with two wins, but they would need a Kansas City loss.

If the game is ruled a tie, that would be to the advantage of Kansas City, who would then need only a win on Sunday to grab the No. 1 spot.

Though players, of course, want to do the right thing with respect to Hamlin, they are also a competitive bunch, and when it comes to playoff positioning, teams will want what’s most advantageous for them.

Award the game to the Bengals.
Cincinnati led the game, 7-3, when it was halted and theoretically could be awarded the victory based on that.

This is a particularly unappetizing scenario for several reasons. Barely an eighth of the game was played, making the Bengals’ lead seem trivial. And given the harrowing night faced by the Bills in particular, awarding them a loss seems unduly cruel.

Push the playoffs back.
The N.F.L. has an ace in the hole: There is a week off in the playoff schedule.

The league could push all the playoff games back one week, leaving the weekend of Jan. 14-15, now set for the wild-card round, for the resumption of Bills-Bengals. The playoffs would then start Jan. 21, the bye week would be filled with the conference championship games, and the Super Bowl would be played as scheduled on Feb. 12.



If that seems to leave a rather bare weekend, with just a part of one game, the league could start the N.F.C. playoffs on time and push back only the A.F.C. games. The N.F.C. teams could then be given a bye after either the wild-card or division rounds. Both conference championship games would be played in what is now the bye week, and the Super Bowl would still be played on schedule.

There is precedent for this. After the 1982 football strike cost the league 57 days in the middle of the season, the N.F.L. added an extra week of regular season games and pushed the playoffs back a week, eliminating the week off before the Super Bowl.

In 2001, after a week of games was canceled because of the Sept. 11 attacks, the league pushed the Super Bowl itself back a week. While that could be a scenario this year, the complexity of rescheduling such a mammoth event makes that an unattractive option.

There’s injuries in all sports be it collision or non-collision injuries. You can’t do away with sport that’s been around for over 150 years because of this or any other injury

You missed the point.

Remove the helmet and armour then ask the players to do the exact same thing. They won’t.

Add a helmet and armour and all it’s done is add the illusion of safety resulting in more dangerous hits at a higher frequency.  Add in the painkiller usage and it’s a recipe for disaster. This is pretty basic logic.

introduce rules to prevent severe injury. We did that in our NRL and It worked great and we lost nothing from the game sport wise. The audience doesn’t like it when their favourite players are injured.

I had hoped that there would be an announcement from the family or a doctor that the kid was doing well and improving.  I suspect, though, that he’s gone and the family is waiting for all to gather and say goodbye.
