It is kind of crazy that Joe Buck has had to deliver this as well as the Darryl Kile incident in live time.

People are starting to donate to a GoFundMe that had been set up a couple years ago for a community toy drive that Hamlin had set up. This is a link to it: https://www.gofundme.com/f/mxksc-th...=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_term=undefined
I don't know what it was at before tonight but it is now over $700,000 at the moment.

I just flipped around on the TV and most of the main cable news channels are covering this story as well.

$905,000 plus right now…
No further updates from hospital til tomorrow at the earliest. Hospital has told press at hospital that there will not be a press conference tonight.
Even in the worst of times, there is still some good from people out there.
One other situation similar to this tonight that I just thought about was when Jay Bouwmeester collapsed on the Blues bench back in 2020.
SVP is the man
Gotta give Ryan Clark a shout-out here, too. He was phenomenal last night.
Absolutely. Now Bart Scott this morning on the other hand:
While it may not be an ideal solution, one option I have heard suggested is that the game is never resumed and so both teams will have played 16 games instead of 17. Obviously not great, especially when it comes to AFC seeding, but this is an unprecedented situation for the league, especially this late in the season.
Guessing some form of that, though probably more a 'no contest' than a tie.

Fields out for finale against ViQueens.
Still a chance for the #1 overall pick...at this point I'd be on the phone to Mike Phipps to come out of retirement for one game.

I do think Peterman has a decent arm.

Opposing defenses would agree.
At this point, I'd trust Davis Mills over Sam Ehlinger at QB.

Reports are that Hamlin is improving. He woke up last night and has been communicating with doctors by shaking his head yes/no and writing.
Is there any chance the Bears are considering taking offers on Fields and taking a QB at #1 or #2 overall? Does Fields throw the ball accurately enough to be a franchise QB who can win you super bowls? I know his supporting cast is non existent but I still have my doubts. Halfway through this season I think the question would have been can you get a significant return for Fields? Turning Fields into multiple first round picks and building with Stroud or Young has to be thought about doesn’t it? Not very often you find (hopefully) you find yourself with a top 2 pick. Would take some serious guts from Poles, but he has shown he’s not afraid to make the tough decisions. This would be a whole different animal than moving on from Mack and Smith but I can see it.
