- THIS TIME FOR S— fuck. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 20:46 2
  - Oh, this reminds me of my tertiary estimate for their failure ... should be next couple of days -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 20:47 1
    - ah, drat, they fixed it preemptively :) -- nm* - Beryllium Jan 2, 20:49
- Just a two minute blip, it's back -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 20:43
Back in school, the project that broke me and made me never want to be a programmer was a capstone project in C++. - Mop Jan 2, 20:42
I know Trunchbull is normally a drag role on the stage but Emma Thompson is spot on perfect in the movie -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 2, 20:39
ICYMI , his mom was there at the stadium and was in the ambulance when it departed .. (heard on CNN) -- nm - mud Jan 2, 20:37

      - What does Lou Peckinpaugh have to do with Roger Rabbit? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 20:32 2
        
        My point being that Daniel Craig with a funny accent can do a movie with muppets and solve a crime and whoever owns Benoit Blanc wouldn’t a cent. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 20:38 1
        
        Ah, thanks for clarifying. You know, I'm surprised that Craig isn't an EP on Glass Onion. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 20:45

    - Given how generous Bills fans are I hope this keeps going up. - the wrong element Jan 2, 19:50 4
      - it is. $834k as of my latest refresh. -- nm - znufrii Jan 2, 19:59 3
        
        $988K it's kissing a million -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 20:36 1
        
        Over 1 million now -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 20:43
        
        does all that money go to the one day care center for toys? -- nm - aud lang zeit Jan 2, 20:14
What the fuck is this start to 2023? -- nm - colin Jan 2, 19:35 6

After Competing Without a Hijab, a Top Iranian Chess Player Won’t Return Home - crash davis Jan 2, 19:32 1
- Considering what happened to the rock climber, these seems prudent. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 20:16
Ryan Clark on ESPN right now is *amazing*. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 19:30 1
- If it's the clip I just saw, yeah. -- nm - znufrii Jan 2, 19:52
People using events like the one tonight to promote their agendas are really sick fuckers. The antivax crowd is all over this one. - Bacon Jan 2, 19:28 4
- My wife said the same. Luckily I haven't seen it. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jan 2, 19:48
- It seems super likely that it's the freak heart rhythm disruption thing that I posted below. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 19:30 2
  - Yes, but logic and evidence are lost on these ghouls. -- nm - Tim Jan 2, 19:33
  - Oh I agree 100% but I am seeing it used as proof the vaccine causes heart attacks. They have their charts/links/ etc all over Twitter right now. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 19:33
Well, this is lovely. Hamlin’s toy drive fundraiser has a goal of $2500. In the last hour it’s climbed to nearly $500k. (higher now than amt in post) -- (link) - kelly Jan 2, 19:25 3
- over 650K now. -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 19:39
- $650k now -- nm - Flavorize Jan 2, 19:37 1
  - I just saw this thread. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 19:39
My assumption is that it will depend on his health. If he is stable, they’ll probably play tomorrow. If not, it’ll be a forfeit or a no-contest. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 2, 19:06 15
- I cant see them playing tomorrow or this week. And I think week 18 has to be considered pushed back -- nm* - budice Jan 2, 19:10 14
  - I don't think they can push it back. It would be a nightmare logistically. -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 19:11 13
    - What does it impact playoff wise? Maybe seeding? - Tim Jan 2, 19:26 12
      - both teams + Chiefs could all be #1 seed still and get the bye. It's unfortunately super relevant. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 19:29 10
        
        Right, which honestly puts the NFL in an impossible situation. - spamlet Jan 2, 19:31 9
        
        *picks the worst possible option* -- nm - NFL Jan 2, 19:38
        
        This one's not impossible. You act like a human being. -- nm - David Jan 2, 19:37 7
        
        Which option on the table is the Human Being one? -- nm - Ender Jan 2, 20:25 2
        
        If it was little league, I'm pretty sure "warm up, game resumes in 5 minutes" wouldn't be on the table. - Beryllium Jan 2, 21:02 1
        
        (see the next board for an NFL exec denying that this was ever on the table) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 22:45
        
        What do you do if a player dies and his mom makes a public statement that "my son would want you all to play on without delay."? - Max Jan 2, 20:17
        
        Ok, but hear me out - what if you're a human being that really likes money? -- nm - Roger Goodell Jan 2, 19:46
        
        and to contrast FiFA resumed the match after Ericksen was taken away -- nm - JD Jan 2, 19:41
        
        For the game I agree as I said below. After that is where the impossible part comes in. -- nm* - spamlet Jan 2, 19:38
      - iirc, wild cards are determined by who wins tonight -- nm - aud lang zeit Jan 2, 19:28
Game is suspended. -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 19:00 1
- thanks God -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 19:01
Game is suspended. League will get with teams to figure it out -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 19:00 5
- Since I'm avoiding twitter, I'm monitoring this by refreshing r/nfl ... "3 minutes ago" "649 replies". heh -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 19:06
- Sucks it had to be the players refusing to obey the league for it to happen. -- nm - spamlet Jan 2, 19:03 3
  - Yes, but also, of course it was. -- nm - Qale Jan 2, 19:08
  - yup -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 19:04 1
    - If I understand what is going on, it makes it so much easier to continue to not at all care for the NFL anymore as I have for the past 5 years or more - Marlowe Jan 2, 19:49
I am told that Damar Hamlin has been intubated and is currently listed in critical condition. -- (link*) - Beaker Jan 2, 18:59
Bills are packing up their equipment on the sideline. -- nm - Meg Jan 2, 18:55
Sideline Equip being packed up -- nm - budice Jan 2, 18:54
seems like they might keep going. *God help us* -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 18:53 3
- nope, seems like it is done. Thank God -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 18:54 1
  - they're packing up the equipment -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 18:55
- I will turn it off. I am only here to get an update on his condition. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 18:54
Skip Bayless says play...jackass -- (link) - Remlik Jan 2, 18:46
They keep saying nothing like this has happened. I remember this from when I was a kid. - pmb Jan 2, 18:37 21
- I remembered it was a Lion's player. Forgot it was against the Bears. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jan 2, 18:45
- I knew a guy in college, Mike Utley, who got paralyzed on the field in 1991 (coincidently, playing for the Lions) -- nm* - crash davis Jan 2, 18:43 2
  - I watched that game live. It was around Thanksgiving. -- nm - David Jan 2, 18:45 1
    - Nov 15 I believe -- nm - crash davis Jan 2, 18:50
- unsafe at any speed (CTE is the slow-speed catastrophic injury that you just never see on any given Sunday) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 2, 18:43
- The other kind of football, but I remember watching Bolton at Tottenham in the FA Cup in 2012 -- (link) - znufrii Jan 2, 18:39 14
  - Christian Eriksen, Jiri Fischer, Pronger ... it's rare but not unprecedented. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 18:42 13
    - Clint Malarchuk would of died if not for a doctor in the stand pinching his aorta -- (link*) - Beaker Jan 2, 18:45 [youtube] 11
      - I met him in the late '90s, he still has a hell of a scar. -- nm - mafic Jan 2, 19:40
      - (it was the sabres athletic trainer, not a spectator, according to wikipedia) - Beryllium Jan 2, 18:52 1
        
        Yeah, the Sabres' trainer had been a medic in Vietnam -- nm - zork Jan 2, 20:19
      - True, although I'm thinking specifically of heart issues. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 18:49
      - DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO! - spamlet Jan 2, 18:48 6
        
        Thank you. Won't. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jan 2, 19:09
        
        yeah it is fucked. -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 18:48 4
        
        I saw it years ago but hope to avoid it. - spamlet Jan 2, 18:49 3
        
        it was one of the reasons why kids had to start wearing neck guards if memory serves (also, I hate neck guards) -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 18:50 2
        
        they existed before but almost nobody had them. they were mandatory in my league within a week. -- nm - mafic Jan 2, 19:14
        
        the *very next* time we hit the ice everyone had neck protectors. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 18:56
    - Fischer was the one I was trying to remember. -- nm - spamlet Jan 2, 18:43
- Makes me think of Jets Dennis Byrd but that was a spinal injury. Hank Gathers is the one I thought about when this first happened. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 18:39
NFL - starting up in 5 minutes. Both Coaches: "fuck you" -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 18:34
I don’t know how you come out to play this but I don’t know how you come play it tomorrow either. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 2, 18:32 9
- The only way playing tomorrow would be easier is if he ends up being okay and they know that before they start to play. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 18:33
- Looks like the coaches are getting together—I think postponement is eminent -- (link) - Flavorize Jan 2, 18:33 6
  - the NFL told them to start playing in 5 minutes -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 18:34 5
    - They did. Joe Buck announced they were going to have 5 minutes to warm up. Then Aikman noted nobody was warming up. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jan 2, 18:40 1
      - "read the room" -- nm - aud lang zeit Jan 2, 19:04
    - The only way they could possibly make it worse than it already was. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 18:39 1
      - (well, specifically, the only way they could make the NFL look worse in the situation) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 18:44
    - Just catching up on this - znufrii Jan 2, 18:35
- At least a week -- nm - budice Jan 2, 18:33
The Slovak player of the game is an inanimate carbon rod. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 18:28 1
- what a goal to win it, couldn't of drawn that up -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 18:30
I’m told Damar Hamlin has a pulse, but is not breathing on his own. He is being transported to UC. -- (link) - Beaker Jan 2, 18:26 1
- "Needed AED and CPR on the field" That AED leads to believe it is what was posted below. - Bacon Jan 2, 18:28
either condition ok, or not... they are waiting for his mom to go to the hospital -- (link) - Beaker Jan 2, 18:23 2
- You don't continue the game under these circumstances -- nm* - budice Jan 2, 18:25 1
  - Postpone this and Week 18 by a week. -- nm* - budice Jan 2, 18:26
I usually like making fun of Booger, but he has been really good during this whole ordeal -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 18:22 2
- I have to think they know if he's alive or dead. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jan 2, 18:27
- Yes and Yes. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 18:23
Incredible -- nm - prayformojo Jan 2, 18:18
Call it -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 18:17 1
- Yep, this is bigger than the game. -- nm - Bacon Jan 2, 18:17
Glass Onion was really a delight. I enjoyed it more than Knives Out which I loved. I started watching The Last of Sheila which Rian Johnson has cited - rollo Jan 2, 18:16 7 1
- Ah yes, the one written by Anthony Perkins and Stephen Sondheim. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 18:29
- Last of Sheila is great. I saw it in the theatres when it came out, and countless times since. TCM airs it a lot. -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 2, 18:28 1
  - I just read the wikipedia entry and I want to watch it. I skipped the part that reveals the ending. 1970s Raquel Welch sounds like a bonus as well. -- nm - crash davis Jan 2, 18:35
- I'd started Knives Out a few times and fell asleep and woke up at the end. Last night, I watched it all the way through. I too like GO more than KO -- nm - crash davis Jan 2, 18:26 1
  - also, I noted (very minor spoiler) - crash davis Jan 2, 18:27
- I only know of The Last of Sheila because it was co-written by Stephen Sondheim. - znufrii Jan 2, 18:22
- Thanks. Bookmarked -- nm - prayformojo Jan 2, 18:19
I feel sick. Unintentional first. -- nm* - Spawn Jan 2, 18:07 4
- this -- (link) - Beaker Jan 2, 18:11
- Yeah, that looked like he took a shoulder to the chest. At the right moment, that could cause a cardiac event. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 18:09 2
  - commotio cordis -- (link) - Reagen Jan 2, 18:18
  - aye -- nm - mud Jan 2, 18:11
