Cardiac contusion my vote. Yikes.

Prayers for this young man! It does remind me somewhat of Derrick Stingley Jr.'s grandfather, Darryl Stingley who was paralyzed in 1978 from a hit by Jack Tatum. It left him a quadriplegic.

That’s actually somewhat loosely common, no one keels over from a heart attack at 24 on the field.

ESPN really needs to go to another feed. Highlights or something from yesterday. We don't need to keep seeing them trying to fill air time when they have no info.

I get the sentiment but they are waiting for the NFL to make a call like everyone else.

Zero reason to play this game. Money shouldn’t be a factor.

There is no requirement to have an ambulance at all high school games. Sounds good but there’s way too many rural schools to get this done. Some counties only have 1 ambulance running on any given Friday night.

Yeah but They keep saying we need to move on from this game. Then they keep
Talking about the game. Just roll the college highlights.

ESPN needs to get this woman off the air.

Yes Booger has got to go.

4 people can’t do cpr and administer a shock inside and ambulance. They were trying to stabilize him before he left. Shock and CPR to get a rhythm and him breathing on his own. Much easier to do this on the field than in an ambulance.

I get that. My point though is that even if they think they have him stabilized on the field, they're not going to simply hold the ambulance in the parking lot while they get the family down to ride with them. That they waited instead of made a bee-line for the hospital, leaving his family to follow when they could... that's not a good sign to me.

We always had a doctor or two on the sidelines and a ambulance for every varsity game and it was a small town.

Idk, just strikes me as looking for something to be upset about. I’m sure their producers are working on a plan and will switch to something else once the NFL makes the call. There’s nothing stopping viewers from changing the channel either, though.
