The NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles almost killed Jalen Hurts for a Week 5 international showcase.
The full details of what happened behind closed doors in London just surfaced, and the negligence is staggering.
Before kickoff in London, Hurts was in a hospital bed until 4:00 AM undergoing emergency vascular testing. Medical staff instructed him not to sleep because sleep was considered an active health risk.
Instead of shutting down their $255 million franchise quarterback, the team cleared him to play 60 minutes of brutal, high-impact collision football on zero sleep.
Then, they loaded him onto a pressurized, 8-hour transatlantic flight back to Philadelphia.
Every doctor on the planet knows that long-haul flights and cabin pressure are the exact triggers that cause lower-extremity blood clots to break free. The Eagles spent days assuring the public it was just a "minor, superficial calf clot".
Now the truth comes out: the clot dislodged, shot through his bloodstream, and caused multiple pulmonary emboli in his lungs.
Hurts is officially out for the season, placed on blood thinners where taking a single routine tackle could cause a fatal internal hemorrhage.
He isn't just lucky to play football again, he is lucky to be alive.
When the NFL preaches "player safety," remember this moment. They ran a human being into the ground for television ratings in the UK, almost lost him to a preventable medical catastrophe, and cratered their entire season in the process.
Who inside that building signed off on letting him play and board that flight?
So Jalen Hurts learned about the blood clot before the Eagles game in London. Doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so Hurts started an NFL game after being awake for 36 hours, including an international flight. Now imaging has shown additional blood clots in his lungs. He's going on blood thinners and will be out for the rest of the year. What are we doing here? That's the most horrific player safety plan I have ever seen.
Look Gen Z, we hear you. There is an affordability crisis in America.
Everything is too expensive. People can barely live.
But, when we tell you the way to fix it is: mass deportations, you don’t wanna hear it.
I’m not gonna be a jerk & tell you to “just eat ramen”.
I’m gonna not gonna comfort you with a lie & blame billionaires either.
I’m gonna give you the truth:
ALL illegals must go, ALL benefits for illegals must end. Visa abuse must end.
Remittances must end.
Reel in the Nanny state, stop the fraud, waste, & abuse & again:
Mass deportations!
Stop fighting us on these things, stop voting against your own best interests & then whining that you can’t afford rent or food.
Rent is way too high because we have tens of millions of illegals in the country that require housing.
It’s supply & demand.
We know how to fix it, you just have to be on board with it.
Voting for socialism is not the answer. It never has been.
Don’t be an idiot
Just watched Odyssey (no spoilers)
Can someone explain to me:
1. Why Nolan used a biological female as a male character?
2. Majority of the actors were speaking modern English with an American accent. Telemachus (played by Tom Holland) refers to his father Odysseus (Matt Damon) as "dad" 🤦🏻♂️
Troy and Gladiator are far superior films in this genre. I really don’t understand this movies’ hype..
It’s a 7.5/10 for me, worth a watch but not life changing like some of y’all been saying
Just saw The Odyssey. Despite what you may have heard, literally all of the criticisms by conservatives were entirely correct. The movie is just as woke as you fear, if not more so. The DEI casting is atrocious. Completely takes you out of the story right from the beginning. But even worse than that is Nolan’s decision to turn Odysseus into an anachronistic whiney, solemn shell of a man plagued by “trauma” and guilt. It’s impossible to overlook these flaws because the film itself is not terribly entertaining or well constructed. For the most part it is disjointed, dull, self-serious, disenchanted, somehow feeling both verbose and overly rushed at the same time. The dialogue is some of the worst I’ve ever heard in a “critically acclaimed” film. “On the nose” and “clunky” are descriptions that can’t even begin to describe this script. At no point in the story does Nolan ever transport the audience to the ancient world. You never feel like you’re 3,000 years in the past. You feel like you’re watching modern Americans put on a pageant, because you are. Nobody would be calling this thing a masterpiece if it was made by a director not named Christopher Nolan.
The Spurs lost because they…
1. Didn’t know how to close a game
2. Allowed De’Aaron Fox to essentially play them out of games with his shitty decisions.
3. Had a coach who didn’t wanna hurt Fox’s feelings
Dawg De’Aaron Fox might have to retire after this. The stench coming off from him right now is diabolical. I would not take this dude on my team even if he was FREE
de’aaron fox is a sorry ass excuse for a basketball player. to think, many of us had sympathy for him rotting as a sacramento king. he honestly should’ve stayed where he was. he’s not a winner.
I hope this is the last game Fox ever plays in a Spurs uniform.
Forget the performance and injuries.
It’s the IQ. It’s the situation awareness. It’s keeping your poise.
He has none of that.
