Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is awake and alert, three days after suffering cardiac arrest on the field in Cincinnati during the Bills' game vs. the Bengals.
While Hamlin can't speak due to a breathing tube, he can communicate, and his doctors assured him he'd "won the game of life" when he inquired about Monday's game, which now has been declared no contest, and will not be resumed.
In order to resolve the issue of playoff seedings, if any combination of the Bills, Bengals, and/or Kansas City Chiefs reach the AFC title game on January 29, the game will be played at a neutral site, to make things fair for all parties. And you know NFL suits are praying this will not happen again.
================================================
UFC frontman Dana White had a public spat with his wife in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve, in which they slapped each other. While White says everything's cool, and it's just a case of letting off steam, if you will, the incident has prompted TBS to delay the launch of White's new series, Power Slap, from January 11 to January 18.
There's also talk that the two month series could be scrapped altogether. All White is trying to do is bring a niche regional competition national. There's also calls for White to step down from UFC.
Stay tuned.
=================================================
We should've known retirement just doesn't suit Vince McMahon.
5 1/2 months after retiring from WWE, the 77 year old has bulled his way back in, electing himself and former officers George Berrios & Michele Wilson to the WWE Board of Directors with the express purpose, ostensibly, of facilitating the sale of the company.
Why do that, when WWE has experienced a creative resurgence in McMahon's absence?
For that, we have to ask McMahon this. Jealous much?
Son-in-law Paul Levesque (Triple H) has had a big hand in improving the television ratings, as well as bringing back a number of talents that McMahon cut between 2020-21 under the guise of "budget cuts". Morale is at a level not seen in some time. There are fears that McMahon could undermine everything if he takes too active a role.
On top of that, his former hatchet man, John Laurinaitis, had his first post-WWE booking rescinded Thursday when the organizers of a trade show removed him from the schedule. Laurinaitis, who was let go in August, and is the stepfather of the Bella Twins, was cut loose in connection with the same sexual misconduct case that got McMahon in very hot water.
In other words, five months later, the scandal is still fresh within the industry, and either man is still a risk.
====================================================
The Yankees are building a front office braintrust that conceivably could open an avenue by which they can cut loose long time GM Brian Cashman.
Former GM's Brian Sabean (San Francisco) and Omar Minaya (Mets, Montreal, Cleveland) have been hired by the team in recent days, giving Hal Steinbrenner options in case things go south on the Bombers in the coming season. But, you know what they say about too many chefs spoiling the sauce.....!
