SirPablo posted:Reminds me of an event that happened in Minnesota - 14 year old Patrick Schoonover just collapsed on the ice during a hockey game, dead. I remember in the late 90s or early 2000s somethign similar in the boston area, kid got checked at the wrong time and collapsed on the ice.

Crescent Wrench posted:Yeah, re: the 5-minute warm-up thing, with a little more time to think about it I am willing to give the refs the benefit of the doubt that they were themselves shaken up the situation and were just trying to stick to their jobs and go by the book. But it's still outrageous that there wasn't already a better contingency for this or that Goodell made everyone wait so long before he made the call. Like any developing story, we only have bits and pieces. And even then I am sure the refs were like, if we we are going by the rules, this is what we do. Luckily, the coaches and the players seem to recognize this isn't normal and calmer heads prevailed.

OneMoreTime posted:The best I can is that it means he isn’t dead but yeah, the reality is that there is nothing to say, and we likely won’t know more until tomorrow at the soonest At the very least it means they are working on him right? If he were dead/dying they'd be saying they are waiting for his family.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:I have no idea what all the playoff qualifying scenarios are, but the only way I could see the NFL allowing that is if there wasn't a bubble team that wouldn't be hurt by a Buffalo/Cincy tie. The Bills also have to play the Pats next week to and its a win and in scenario and I am sure the Bills players might not be up to it considering what may happen. Do you just say, gently caress the last week the standings are what they are? Is there a real solution here? Like have the Pats play the Dolphins again? Allow for an 8 seed this one time?

Docjowles posted:Boston posters / olds may remember Reggie Lewis, too. Celtics player who died on the court during practice of sudden heart failure. Remembering hearing he died on WBZ and my family told me to notice that they kept saying they are waiting for the family before they give an update, which meant nothing good.

aperion posted:yeah, i know. I felt kind of dumb for even floating it even if it's a good idea in my head. I'm also tired and not getting any sleep tonight after all this so it's probably incredibly stupid. Cancel this week, move this game to next Sunday and then play all the rest of the games a week from Thursday? Push the SB to President's day weekend which is what the NFL wants anyways. OR go top 10 in each Conference, go loving wild.

SpaceDrake posted:Chasing M's Foundation is indeed the name of it, and Damar founded it, but it wasn't even remotely this potential scale up to now. In previous years, he'd barely been pulling in enough donations to not just have to fund the toy drive himself. That's what Lifespan is getting at - a $4.4m+ foundation is going to really need some legal help for oversight and whatnot and to make sure it gets structured properly. One of my friends was hurt in the Boston Marathon bombing and was able to use the leftover money to create her own small foundation that gives money out to people to this day. And that was with 10s of thousands left over. My point is yah, money of this amount is huge and can do a lot of good if managed right.

Link here! quote:Jermaine Wiggins, a tenement kid from East Boston who gained a glimmer of fame by helping the Patriots win their first Super Bowl and launch one of football’s greatest dynasties, went broke within two years of his last NFL game.
