There Are Assholes, And Then There's Skip Bayless

Thank you, asshole.

You just showed, once again, why you are such a fucking idiot.

At this point, I'm not sure you can resume the SEASON.  You might be able to play the playoffs with records as they stand or stood (and that might take three weeks), but the fact of the matter is...

Damar Hamlin was killed on that field last night.  Heart stopped.  Deceased.  Gone.

The bloodthirsties of the NFL fandom finally got what they wanted last night -- my anonymous friend's only question is how many of them would actually admit it if challenged...  An NFL player was killed on the field last night for our entertainment.

The fact the EMT's (with both shocks and CPR) may have gotten him back (and Hamlin is still in critical condition as of this evening Eastern Time) is irrelevant to the concept.

We got our first death in the NFL since 1971, and it was the same thing, as Keith Olbermann pointed out early this morning on his Twitter...
--------------------

And then there's these two assholes, and you had to know that the John Stockton "thousands of athletes have died due to the vaccines" crowd would show up here...This is, as my anonymous friend reminded me last night as we were talking about Dykstra's stupidity, the same Lenny Dykstra who got nine months in jail in 2011 looking for a massage prostitute and exposing himself to those answering ads for a "personal assistant".

AND THE SAME Lenny Dykstra who uttered terrorist threats in 2018 to an Uber driver, and was also found with enough evidence to charge him with cocaine and meth use in the same incident!
American actor. Hercules...

Again, I point to the incidence of a medical situation called "Commotio Cardis".  For the pro wrestling crowd, it is used as a kayfabe explanation for the heart-stopping "heart punch" the likes of 70's heel Ox Baker and 80's heel Big John Studd used.  If you take contact to the chest at just the wrong moment, your heart can be stopped, and you have ten minutes tops for the type of treatment Hamlin received last night before death is irreversible.

This was not the vaccines.  Full stop.   Period-end.

We may finally have hit the material end of the sport of football.  The hit was 100% clean and above table.  It was a hard, blasting hit to the chest with the shoulder, like you are taught.

And it killed a man.  That we may have gotten him back didn't change that.

So send a prayer to Tee Higgins, the ball-carrier who delivered it.  No blame.  None whatsofuckingever.  Not an ounce of helmet or foul in the hit.  Just like you were taught from Pop Warner on up -- and anyone here knows I am a fucking stickler for this.

One more thing, Shannon Sharpe, who co-hosts with Skip Bayless, decided to walk out on his FS1 show, rather than appear with Bayless today -- and there's no word when he might be back.

Now word from ESPN's Coley Harvey that Hamlin apparently died at least twice -- had to be resuscitated again at the hospital.  Possible permanent lung damage.

------------------

At least in one good piece of news:  The explosive donation total of the community-initiatives drives Hamlin supports has reached, as of about 5 PM Pacific today, over $5.3 million.
  • Russell Wilson and Ciara:  $10000
  • Tom Brady:  $10000
  • Sam Mally, an entrepeneur:  $15000
  • Jason Hanold, an HR seeker CEO:  The largest donation of $20000.
  • Chris Jericho:  $10000
  • and many many many others in all meaningful amounts...

    "Commotio Cardis" also happened to Lawler the night he had a heart attack on Raw. He took an elbow to the chest from Dolph Ziggler.

      And, likewise, the ringside medical staff was openly recognized as saving Lawler.
