What has happened, as others have hinted, is NFL players have become swifter, stronger and heavier.

The human anatomy is not built for the kind of contact Mr. Hamlin sustained. While professional and college football players often do sustain it, the CTE, the horrible injuries (yes, you, Joe Theismann) and the maiming that affects people for the rest of their lives appears to be coming increasingly devestating.

A few years back, I was at a Bears game where Johnny Knox's leg was mangled and almost amputated. While not life threatening, my fear is this is what pro football is coming to. Ask Teddy Bridgewater what happened to him.

Around the early 1900s, football was killing people. President Teddy Roosevelt sat down with the powers that be and reformed it before it was banned. God help us but maybe that's what President Biden or Congress needs to do.

Biden was a "starter" in college on Delaware's football team and the house is close to voting the Buffalo guy as speaker. 

Don't hold your breath.

From the WSJ:

“Did we win?”

—Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin in a note last night after he woke up for the first time since suffering cardiac arrest during a NFL game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday. His physicians said he appeared to be neurologically intact, but remains critically ill and on a ventilator. One of the doctors had an answer for Hamlin: “You’ve won the game of life.”

Went home.    A victory.    Again, kudos to all involved in the timely emergency care he received.     Take a bow.   IMO, this is more evidence that the cardiac event was due to the impact.

Did he go home or just back to a hospital in Buffalo? Either way, he is out of the ICU.

Discharged and allowed to return home.

I drove by the hospital on Sunday morning and saw all the balloons and flowers in front of a hospital fence.  Reporters were doing reports in front of the display.

That is correct.

Today, he was released from Buffalo hospital.
