Mr. WEO

Beasley has played only 4 games this year. How fresh does he need to be?

yup

my guess is that the industry would prevent him from playing. It’s an unreasonable and avoidable liability fit team and player to accept

Cincy fans: “derpa derpa we eat spaghetti with chili on it!!!!”

this “machine learning” EKG is pretty interesting. The issue becomes: a player is screened, it’s positive, they get referred to the Cardiologist for stress ECHO, etc which does not show hypertrophied. Do they prevent the player from playing with a functional and structurally normal heart? I agree he may have had evolved HOCM (back in the day in med school, we still threw in the “O” for Obstructive) since (if) he was screened for it

exactly, right? who on earth would feel the need to pay to be in that room to listen too that?

My first posted guess after Hamlin went down was HOCM, given the atypical mechanism of injury (not a projectile the the chest) for commotio cordis. The latter would be a better diagnosis for his long term health as it denotes an otherwise normal heart with normal function. One in a million hit causing v-fib, easily shockable rhythm. HOCM rules him out for any significant, pro level activity. I thought most D1 schools screen top signings for HOCM though, with ECHO. You would think NFL teams would make it mandatory before signing a contract.

I challenge anyone to find the motivation to watch that whole video without fast forwarding....

Other than his daughter, has any other Pegula made a statement? I didn't see one.

for this time of year, that's "dangerously" warm...

Someone better get right on this. STAT!

TBD and Clowney threads:

what's the temperature in Miami right now??

so many things to be thankful for, despite the anxiety of the week. not least among them the temporary cessation of the awful Gabe Davis takes!

there's been a clowney situation in Cleveland for decades

who would be asking Channing Crowder for quotes?

Saleh still collecting receipts?

"When your heart stops beating, you die." This is patently wrong. A brief/reversible stopping of the heart obviously isn't "death", which is irreversible. Every patient who has open heart surgery and is on cardiopulmonary bypass has a non beating heart for a portion of the surgery. None of them are dead during that time. Legally, and simply, death has occurred when either or both have occurred: “irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions” or “irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem.” That latter is commonly referred to as brain death, which can exist in the setting of a beating heart. So, despite what may an amazing recovery, Hamlin was never "dead". In the hospital, after cardiac arrest, survivors (those who have been successfully resuscitated) go to the ICU. Those who do not survive ("the dead") get put in a shroud and are sent to K-1.

he can radio Spiller for vectoring...

make it stop

Araiza being released was a blessing. take it off your list of tragedies...

Willis wasn't aropund long--played only 71/2 seasons. Joe Thomas will get in because everyone syas he's the greatest although he neve made an impact in Cleveland's Offensive success. Zero impact. Revis should walk in right now. One of the Rams WRs should get in. Both won't. Jared Allen should get in. Coryell should have gotten in a million years ago, but the football writers and media representatives are a pretty dumb lot

absolutely

wow. one season? crazy FO over there

amazing news
