Its heartless but it is what it is.

Correct.

I don't want the Bengals to be the beneficiaries of this. Call it a no-contest. If this hurts the Bengals playoff seeding, then so be it. If the Bengals were to benefit in any way, they would be looked at as villains from now to eternity. Let's take the high road, even if it meant forfeiting to the Bills.

ESPN broadcasting team acting like he died on the field.

Well, he may have been fatally injured on the field.

Well Jim, it’s not looking good

They will postpone it until tommorrow at the very latest. The Bengals and Bills will suck it up and eat a short week at the end of the year.

lets help give this kid some good news when he gets out of the hospital

Is this true? Hope he makes it out.

I mean his heart wasn't beating and he wasn't breathing...what are you even thinking? I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

All I’m saying is everything else is a result not being determined on the field. Calling it a no contest or tie hurts the Bills, hurts the Bengals, hurts the Ravens. Giving both teams a W hurts the Chiefs, hurts the Ravens and hurts the Bengals. It affects more than the Bengals.

Brings back memories of John McSherry the home plate ump that collapsed and died at Riverfront on the Reds opening day game back in the 90's. Just hope this ends better.

A VERY, VERY minor thing to think about is:

This is Fantasy Football's championship weekend. In my dynasty league, one of the participants in the final has Josh Allen at QB and the other has JaMarr Chase. Now, we'll definitely figure out the payout, but we're small potatos

They are saying that it looks like the head coaches and players said we are not playing.
Bad look for Goodell that the perception is that they would play if they weren’t forced to call it.

Guys. Heard terrible news. Confirming it now.

Well they did do over 10 minutes of CPR on the field, used and AED, so there’s a good chance he did.

A CPD officer told me the same.

Yes, being reported all over Twitter. Here is one link.

Umm…it’s very likely he did. They needed both an AED and 9 minutes of CPR. Thankfully they were able to revive him to the point he at least has a pulse.

He was breathing but I forget the exact statement. Like he was breathing but not under his own control or something like that
