I know it won’t happen, but if 6 Republicans who were going to retire at the end of this term would throw their weight behind him, he could be Speaker.

I can see it now, him sitting in the rec room around fellow convicted fraudsters, listening intently as they regale him with their stories of PPP fraud. “You all are dumb, how you could not expect they’d come for you and come down hard???” he asked, apparently missing a boatload of irony as it relates to his own…

I think it just who they are. If he had been born into a family of means, it would probably be investment fraud. If he had inherited millions, he would be Trump. 

Seems like Speaker of the House material. George Santos better watch out. 

how has this dude not found the republican party yet?

Blunt force trauma to the chest can cause cardiac arrest. As Hamlin’s cardiac arrest occurred right after a tackle, it is not out of the question.

The Democrats won’t do anything to punish Trump or any of his political lackeys because they are corrupt cowards.  

James Bond saves Philly in Dr. YO!
I know that one’s a bit off topic, but I couldn’t resist.

No, he didn’t have a heart attack. What he likely had happen is that freak impact that happened at the precise wrong moment in the heart beat. Commotio Cordis. Happens to about 30 people a year in the US. Mostly with kids/teens playing soccer.

But didn’t OG Connery fans think Craig was a Gen X fuckboy when he was announced? At some point you just get old and the current Bond is younger than you. I didn’t think it would also happen to me :(

Have you ever dealt with a real-world emergency that impacted hundreds (in this case, tens of thousands) of people in a never before experienced fashion? You can have all the rules & procedures in place, but when a man’s heart stops and he has to be revived mid-production, things get real hectic real fast. I’m sure…

I am really shocked at how the NFL was caught so flatfooted in that situation.

Also the Jeremy Renner thing is insane. 2023 came busting in like the Kool-Aid man.

Not sports related but snow-machine related (to keep a 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon chain going), there’s also Jeremy Renner getting run over by his own Snow Cat (basically the grooming machines at ski mountains) yesterday too.

I saw a YouTube account of a doctor (take that with a grain of salt) who does sports videos who says he thinks it might be “commotio cordis” where a sudden chest impact can cause the heart to stop right in a specific window where the electrical discharge is resetting.

Why would you need to design a one size fits all approach? Its clear that different things happen depending on the injury. As long as the person is still breathing they are quickly carted off the field or put in an ambulance, and the game can resume. His heart stopped so they were unable to take him off the field and…

Do you honestly think it’s possible to design a one size fits all approach to a player collapsing on the field? I don’t see how the number of commercial breaks is even relevant, is there some kind of ideal number of commercial breaks to injury severity ratio? Not to mention the unsourced 5 minute warm up which no one…

Pope Palpatine, you mean?

2023 isn't taking prisoners, fuck. Why isn't it ever utter shit bags that die early in the year?

Today has been a dark day for sport.
