Yeah here's the wiki article on that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commotio_cordis And that's what the ProFootballDoc was saying in a livestream - also that there's no better place to get injured than on an NFL football field, as it's practically a major trauma center with 20+ medical personnel quickly on the field, plus all the high-level hardware and etc for urgent situations. Not the first time it happened apparently: https://twitter.com/ghansen711/status/1610098928820834306

Ouch. Didn't have him on my death pool list. Jeremy Renner was also seriously injured in a "snow plow incident" but is currently stable. I just don't trust password managers at all.

It looks like this particular tragic death/severe injury isn't immediately CTE-related, but did any positive change ever actually come of the last in-your-face incident(s) that showcased the physical devastation the sport wreaks on players? I'm very much not a sports person and don't follow things at all, so the limited visibility I have into things leaves me with the impression that things quickly just get memory-holed by fans, leaving the industry free to make empty promises until attention fades. There's been a massive outpouring of donations to Hamlin's toy drive and that's good, I guess, but it's hard not to be sad and frustrated that it looks like a way for fans to salve their consciences while abrogating responsibility for the cartel's continued consumption of human lives. All my adult life, I've been seeing fans say "X was the last straw", "gently caress the NFL", and "I wouldn't let my kid play football", but things seem to just keep on keeping on. Sorry if any fans feel called out, it's just hard not to be angry seeing another life possibly cut short for entertainment.

Tua Tagovailoa on the Miami team took two likely concussions in four days a couple of months ago. The first one they swore he was okay after he almost fell down walking off the field and the second one was where his hands were twisted up and he was down for about 10 minutes before they carted him off. He was out for a while but played again a few days ago where he was very obviously out of it and they just announced he's back into concussion treatment after having two this season that the nfl will admit to and likely a third that they won't.

Right now, McCarthy has 10-20 Republicans declaring I IDENTIFY AS ANDREW TATE, gently caress YOU NO MASTERS ONLY GODS AND WE'RE GODS BRO and nobody has a clue on when there will actually be a functional House. The red wave crashing into a rock wall really hosed with McCarthy's lifelong grand plan to become Speaker - and Donnie doesn't even have influence with the ultrasupermaga holdouts anymore. Fun, considering the debt ceiling still needs to be lifted mid-year.

I don't think that particular take happened, but Skip Bayless was tweeting last night that the NFL had to continue the game because it isn't logistically possible to reschedule it while dozens of players told him to shut the gently caress up. The lovely tweets that are happening are from the usual suspects blaming this on covid vaccines.

Silver is about $24/oz right now, after years at $15/oz. Silverbugs don't sell though, so like crypto, those profits will not be realized by the silverbugs, because they believe it will jump to 1/10th the value of gold like it was back in the 19th century. Idiots.

Yeah it’s awful, especially ridiculous when the NFL tries pointing at an “independent concussion specialist” as being the person to blame, like that person would ever force a QB out of a critical game. If Brady took a hit on the first play of the Super Bowl and doctors made him to hit the showers, they’d lose millions.

The best thing Zaurg did was in one of his initial mega threads before it was realized he’s a cartoon character, many folk were offering him excellent advice about managing finances, investments, career, etc. He ignored all that but it was invaluable in helping demystify much of personal finance for many users including myself.
