I mean, yeah this is awful, and people shouldnt be making jokes.
Thing is, Im not joking. How do we explain this? There has been a slew of other pro athletes falling out over the past year and a half. It is pretty shocking if this was due to impact and bad luck.

Did you not see the list of soccer deaths? It's been happening for a lot longer than the past year and a half.

So the death of a guy with stage 2 CTE, who had been experiencing seizures ever since striking the windshield with his head during a high speed car crash in early 2019, and whose death was determined to be caused by complications of that seizure disorder, made you start to wonder about clot shot deaths.
This is a 10/10 Jozu post.

I don't want to see this political/conspiracy garbage in the sports thread, plenty of other threads for that shit.
Damar was a huge part of why we were 12-3 going into this game, 6th rounder in his 2nd year taking over for the injured Hyde. It's not an easy position to play in Frazier's defense since our base is Nickel with 2 safety's 90% of the time. There were never any blown coverages which was a concern when he took over, he was also 2nd on the team in # of tackles. He is a solid player and a good dude.

Honestly, as many times as we hear about high school or college players collapsing or having issues, it's kind of a shock something of this nature hasn't happened during play in an NFL game before (or in a really long while? I can't remember ever seeing a guy needing CPR on the field and I've been watching too much NFL for 35+ years at this point). Was bound to happen eventually.

I basically lost fantasy championship if Josh Allen doesnt get any points for this week.
Then you have seeding, I just dont see how they can reconcile this. Maybe they just flip a coin and choose a winner that way? The lost stats will be a push I guess.

No outcome will seem fair. Whether they mark it as a tie (potentially giving the Chiefs a #1 seed they didn't earn), a Bills loss and Bengals win, or having the game not count altogether. The latter would fuck with win percentages for the standings - especially with the Bengals still playing for the division.
Every outcome blows.

Numbers game. There is currently less than 2k players in the NFL vs. millions of high school/college players. Expand that over time and you're looking at less than 100k vs. 100s of millions or even billions.
A 1 in a million chance thing is more likely to occur when the numbers you are looking at get that high

Somewhere in the mix of things, I heard something they could do is push everything back a week and basically cancel the pro bowl week ahead of the superbowl in order to get the game on the books before the playoffs start

A far simpler answer is that High School and College filter those conditions out of the pool before they get to the NFL. An athlete with a potential NFL trajectory simply isn't going to make it through that many years of football without the condition being discovered, either through medical attention or from the condition causing an incident.

Yeah it's a pretty thorough physical even in college. Fuck I remember that you couldn't have any piercings in or metal on your body in case they had to AED your ass back to life. We all laughed and now it's like fuck that shit can happen.
