Damar Hamlin (DB Buffalo Bills)

[sparcboxbuck]

commotio cordis. Very rare. But hit correctly, V-fib happens. Usually in teenagers with baseball or lacrosse. Hopefully the medical personal were right there. He's at an amazing facility in Cinci. Come on Damar. We got you!

I can speak to the lacrosse thing. Our sport lost one at Cornell back in the late 80s… in the last year they have created a new chest protector — now mandatory equipment at all levels — that has a hard breast plate. The plate distributes energy from impact and spreads it across the entire chest protector. It’s a pretty brilliant design, albeit 30-years after the Cornell player was lost. Better late than never.

It did occur to me that the design would be suitable for football pads when it first came out. I hope, for all the kids, they take a look at the design to see if they can make something similar work.

Skip Bayless hosted Tuesday morning's episode of 'Undisputed' alone, without Shannon Sharpe, and it was no accident ... we're told the Hall of Famer was upset with the opinionated TV host's controversial tweet sent minutes after Damar Hamlin's heart stopped during MNF.

And, TMZ Sports is told the network -- which wants Sharpe back as soon as possible -- doesn't know if he will return to work on Wednesday.

Fuck you too, Sharpe. Is it a shock to you that Skip fuckin Bayless said something shitty for ratings? You weren't complaining while signing paychecks.

Progress updates seem to be as good as one could hope. The fact we’re still getting updates feels like a miracle from Monday night.

Imagine what it's like waking up, not knowing where the hell you are, and then learning the whole country is pulling for you.

I've come to and not had any idea of where I am many times. Never had the whole country rooting for me though.

That's huge I was worried neurologically intact meant all functions were there but he was not all there when asked stuff. But it sounds like he's alert and responsive and even asking questions

@ORD_Buckeye our friend Ziegler makes a very Ziegler appearance in that first tweet

Update. Can't speak cause he's on a ventilator but is writing they hope to have him off the ventilator soon.

Hopefully that soon is more like a few days then a few weeks. But they will slowly ween him off it an see how he does.
