What happened??
Made a tackle, got up, took a step, then collapsed.Quote:

They're discussing now, presumably whether to continue the game.
Yes it was HamlinQuote:

Praying! Hope it's not as serious as it looked but dang it looked bad.

They revived him and he lived another 30 years and did graduate from State. But I will never forget the ambulance crew giving him CPRQuote:

The hit was very very normal and he was just tackling the WR. It looked like an average tackle really.Quote:

The way he fell reminded me of watching Hank Gathers in a Loyola Marymount basketball game. Scary.
Horrible, just horrible. I was watching it and the tackle was very benign and then realized it was something else. Speechless. Football seems so inconsequential right now.
Whatever happened was not a result from contact, looks like his heart just gave out. Been happening a lot lately
Exactly what I was thinking
Probably cardiac related, but I also watched the hit. Very normal hit, but a center hit to the chest at the right time during depolarization of the heart can induce a lethal rhythm (vfib).
That may be the incident I referred to. The name sounds familiar.Quote:

I saw a kid back in junior high get his neck broke on the football field. Took them an hour and half to get him off the field. He lived and was even able to come back and play baseball and basketball in high school. He spent a year in an iron halo around his head to keep his neck stable but he came out ok. Sickening to see though and finishing that game was tough.
They have to cancel it unless they get definite word that he is going to be ok. Nobody care about football with this in balance.
Bills' sideline crew packing up equipment.
Who is the guy on with Booger and Lisa?
OK, good. Game is not going to continue tonight.
I really hope that's not an indication of how the young man is doingQuote:

Saw a guy break his neck on a hit when I was a manager for my Dad's HS team when I was 5. It was awful. Ambulance coming out and everything. He ended up suing Riddell and my Dad had to testify in the trial.
