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?
Geno interception: damn drop-back, flat-footed, and leaning back. Hence, nothing on the throw. Get him OUT of the pocket!
Jets have to get Geno out of the pocket. Pats are loading up at the line like they're firing a musket.

I had hoped Michelle wouldn't have wussed out so much over questions defending the Republican agenda. Already too much of a politician. She couldn't defend the Iran situtation after 47 years of them being at war with us?
That was hysterical, and emblematic of fake news

The next time you trust your government with anything, read this!
Social Security was sold as a program offering retirement annuities that American workers would buy for themselves.
FDR called the 1935 Act “compulsory contributory annuities.”
The Senate Finance Committee chairman said the worker would know “he himself is providing for his old age.”
The government’s own poster promised “a monthly check to you for the rest of your life.”
The sales pitch was successful, culminating in Congress passing the law that created the Social Security system.
Then when the government’s lawyers went to court to defend the program’s constitutionality, they told a very different story.
In Helvering v. Davis (1937), the Supreme Court—essentially adopting the government’s reasoning—upheld the program as a tax and a spending scheme.
Writing for the Court, Justice Cardozo explained that the payroll taxes go into the Treasury “like internal-revenue taxes generally, and are not earmarked in any way.”
The 1935 law left Congress at liberty to “alter, amend, or repeal” any part of it.
In 1960, the Court closed the loop in Flemming v. Nestor.
Benefits are not property and not a contract.
Paying the tax does not give you an account the government cannot touch.
Congress, in other words, can change the deal at any time.
That’s quite the bait-and-switch maneuver.
Social Security was sold as an annuity.
Then it was defended and upheld by the Supreme Court as a tax and a benefit—one that the government can dilute or modify at will.

This was Zohran Mamdani only 13 days after October 7. No one could have predicted that this unhinged radical would become New York's next mayor. Israel had not yet launched its ground invasion into Gaza and he was already screaming genocide
tnx @mazemoore for that video
Volpe's shot hit the fan's wrist or even forearm...both over the top of the wall. If the ball hit the top of the wall and then went over...it would have been a homer.
Hysterical!
10/5/1986
On this day in 1986 Marty Lyons was flagged for "giving him the business down there" to Jim Kelly. The legendary call came from referee Ben Dreith.
