Interesting that he assumed they just kept playing. Apropos of nothing really, just interesting.

Are you having a beer at a bar at noon on a Thursday across the street from a giant car wash?
 
Bill.

"... Life is bigger than this game. This is one of those humbling moments for all of us that stands out. I'd say, as a coach, it's different, and I've expressed this to the players multiple times, but the amount of respect I have for them and what they do and how they do it is immense... What they and their families deal with as participants is different than what I do as a coach, and I respect that, and I appreciate what they do and try to do the best I can to make the right decisions and coach them in the best way that I possibly can."

More from BB,

"Damar Hamlin has been, I think, on everyone's minds and in their thoughts since Monday night," Belichick said. "Our entire team and organization, on behalf of them, I've extended our thoughts and prayers to the Bills and their organization, Coach [Sean] McDermott and their team. Also to Coach [Zac] Taylor and the Bengals. We're kind of sandwiched right around those teams based on how the schedule has fallen.

"Certainly the news from a little earlier this morning about Damar's progress is great news and encouraging for all of us."

Belichick explained that when he saw what happened to Hamlin on Monday night, it reminded him of the injury suffered by Lions linebacker Reggie Brown in a game against the Jets at the end of the 1997 season. Brown suffered a spinal-cord injury that day, and according to the New York Times' report, he "lay motionless on the turf for 17 minutes."

Brown never played again. He told the Washington Times this week, "I live a not-normal life. I can walk... But there's a lot of issues that go along with just walking. I'm 48. I feel like I'm 98."

"It was a very chilling game," Belichick said. "One I'll never forget. I mean I've been in a lot of games, but there's some there's a moment that sticks out. That would be one of them... I was there and experienced that, and I think I have some sense of what the teams -- players and coaches -- went through Monday night. Like I said, it's something that you never forget."

I would support the creation of "special" emoji anytime that name is typed on PP. You have the power.

Plus that was in an antiquated era where you could buy gas for 1.38 per gallon, if you adjust for inflation I believe that Brady was making more...perhaps billions more in today's dollars...
 
If he actually makes a full recovery that would be simply amazing, a miracle even for as long as he was down

Then, it might even mean that he's lucky that it happened in the middle of an NFL game rather than when hiking out in the woods or something.
