Moving in the right direction...that is definitely something good.

Very possible from doing CPR...cracked ribs, collapsed lungs, other damage...CPR can be rough on the body. Lifesaving but also very rough.

Yeah, from what I heard from nurses, CPR can cause some serious damage...that's why sometimes they don't do it with very old or frail people because the damage it would cause would be too much...said they "fake it" at times when they know they can't do CPR.

Off the ventilator??

Whatever the Bills want to do I am behind them. If that means they play as normal for Hamlin then I'm cool with it. If that means they forfeit the Pats game and get ready for the playoffs then so be it. If that means they simply shut it down for this season completely, then that's what they do.

Witnessing it on live TV playing out right before your eyes is always more graphic and emotionally taxing than simply reading about it. Also realizing that those type of hits happen multiple times every game without causing any issues makes you realize just how dangerous things came be. Additionally there is no outcome...we don't know how things will turn out...his life is hanging in the balance right now

Thank you for your kindness, thoughtfulness and class which was on display in grand fashion last night from the fans in the stadium to the medical professionals at the stadium and at the UC Medical Center to the coaches, players and entire Bengals team. I have a massive newfound respect for Zac Taylor. Was awesome to see Bills and Bengals fans unite both at the stadium as it was happening and afterwards at the vigil in front of the hospital. It truly showed the best of humanity in the moment. It was awesome to see Taylor and McDermott come together to basically tell the officials and NFL that they were done playing football tonight and then take their teams off the field. And it was awesome to see the outpouring of support for Hamlin's charity from across the NFL after BillsMafia has donated to so many other teams player charities throughout the years(starting with Dalton and Boyd). Some things are more important than playing football and rivalries and playoff seedings. I don't know what's going to happen the rest of the season in terms of if this game is going to get played, or even if the Bills will play again this season. Depending on how things turn out I don't think it's a foregone conclusion they will just be right back at it, but if the Bills don't make it this year, I will be rooting hard for the Bengals. I actually lived in the Cincy area for a little over a year way back in the day...east of the city, I believe Mount Washington maybe? Worked in Kenwood at first, then Eastgate, then moved north to Franklin and started working in downtown Cincy...it was a cool place...I liked my time there. Other than my time at a Reds game once when it was 97 and super humid out and our seats were down the first base line in full sun...lasted maybe 3 innings 😂

It totally is toxic.

Wow...Jason Hanold, who is an executive search agency CEO and trustee of the National Football Foundation and College Football HOF, just donated 20K to Damar's charity... https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonhanold/ Even more awesome is that reading through the comments, it appears pretty much every fanbase is represented and many college fanbases as well...closing in on $5 million.

Excellent piece from a panel of cardiologists to help shed some light on where we stand right now.

I believe Taylor wanted to make sure he knew they were with him and that the Bills wouldn't be forced to forfeit because they would refuse to play also.

I think too many people feel their "best life" is from monetary and material things but end up realizing, hopefully not too late, some of the wealthiest people with the most material things are some of the poorest people there are. It's taken everything they had to obtain it and once they look back there is nothing left of anything else...family, relationships, friends, etc...

Haven't looked forward to this Sabres game tonight as a much needed distraction in a long time.

Here is something else nobody really thinks of... How often is that AED equipment actually checked? God forbid what would have happened if the equipment wasn't charged or it was faulty due to not being checked for months or years? Are those things regularly inspected? IMHO, if it isn't being done already, that should be a required thing to have functioning prior to a game being allowed to start now.

He has been covering the NFL for quite some time.

Not surprising...
