Smoker went out some time in the night. Woke up at 6am to spray it and discovered my pork butt had an internal temp of 81 degrees. Got it going again.

Put a pork butt on at 225 an hour ago. See you guys in 9 hours.

I bet Lamar’s knee feels 120% better tomorrow night at 11:30pm.

Peace to you and your family.

I hope Lamar tells Sammy to go “eat a bag of d#%s”

Any word from @tester? Haven’t seen her around lately.

Happy Bird-day @Beerball

I count 9 teams that need QB help (could conceivably draft a QB). #thankful4ja

Better than Lindy Ruff or Al Arbor?

Reminds me of a time @Gugny ordered mild wings at Bar Bill. Being the lightweight that he is, he drenched two wings in Ranch and then pawned the other 10 wings off on @Beerball @CountryCletus and me for the rest of the night.

“Hoop Dreams” (1994). Gives a great peek into recruiting playground players to private schools and how they cope with the limelight. If you haven’t watched it, highly recommend.

According to Herc (who seems experienced in this type of work), it looks like a patient can be intubated while conscious but requires an anti-anxiety med to prevent them from pulling the tube. ",,,you don't ease a patient back into normal brain activity. As long as the patient is able to protect their airway, you extubate. The longer someone is intubated the more chance of complications/mortality. You reduce sedation at least once per day and test the pt's ability to respond. This is called a Spontaneous Awakening Trial, SAT. Are they able to follow commands? Does the patient get agitated and try to pull the ET tube out or other lines? How are their vitals when sedation is reduced? Does HR go too high? Respiratory rate? Oxygenation? There are many things a nurse is watching for during the SAT. If they fail, you resedate them. If they pass the SAT, then a Spontaneous Breathing Trial is done, SBT. For this, all sedation meds need to be off, except for precedex which helps with anxiety. We then get the RT to change the vent settings and attempt to let the patient breath on their own. Again, watch heart rate, resp. rate oxygenation. If this is passed we inform the doctor. At this time the doctor usually talks with the RT and RN and asks if they recommend extubation."

Who's asking for/demanding changes to equipment? Every post in this thread has considered the injury/event and asked if there will be any changes. I'm not advocating any rule changes or equipment modifications, but wouldn't be surprised if they discuss it in their off-season meetings.

It’s nearly impossible to prevent this type of incident. Like I said earlier, falling on a ball at the right angle with enough force could conceivably cause this type of injury. I’m not advocating for a rule change…just wondering if others think the owners might address it in some fashion in the off-season. As others said, mandatory enhanced chest protection might be the answer.

I didn't say it was my "take" nor do I believe making new "subjective rules" is necessary. Have you ever thought about something, analyzed it, and tried to see how it might be addressed in the future? Maybe I'm overthinking it. Thanks for your terse response.

I agree. The "area of hit" really can't be changed much more. The Mike White hit keeps popping into my mind. If Milano hit Mike White like that this weekend (for example), would refs be more apt to toss a flag for illegal hit because it was directed at his chest?? It will be interesting to see how Damar's incident affects the NFL rules and officiating in the future (if any). No one wants to see this again. For that reason, will the refs (and rules committee) be more cognizant of the chest area (as they have for head and knees). We may not have an answer for many months.

I suppose we can re-visit this issue in the future...but the countless instances where there is extreme impact with upper chest leaves me thinking they may address it (in some fashion) this off season. Not just player to player impact, but when a player falls on a ball, other scenarios where chest is compressed in the cardio thoracic region. Like others have said, they may require new padding/equipment mandates.

I was trying to link additional YouTube videos. There are some hits this year that are square to the chest and ferocious.

Tragic event. Of the 100's of thousands of plays that occur each season for 50 years, it was bound to happen. Continuing to keep Damar and his family in my prayers and thoughts as many have done throughout the WORLD. Will the owners come up with new "rules" for tackling an opponent or (in Damar's case") making contact with another player? The chest/abdomen area of the body is the normal tackling area for QB's. Take the Milano hit on Mike White for example. There are countless other "legal hits" that result in major impact with the chest wall (I remember seeing a pic of Mike White and he looked like a crash test dummy during Milano's hit). For instance, even though it is rarely called, a FB/RB on goal line plays will often lower their helmet and run full speed into the hole. A MLB could easily absorb a helmet to the chest (and have done so many, many times). Will the owners try and create a new "strike zone" (to borrow a baseball term) where officials will have to determine if the hit was too high in the chest, too low or just right? Will the velocity of an otherwise legal hit be a deciding factor? Stay strong #3!!

I agree. Should never be drafted in Fantasy @SDS

There it is!!

Cue the Mixon punching a woman gif.

Gone too soon. 🥺
