Hamlin Awake And Asked If Team Won, Harbaugh In Trouble, Iranian Chess Player Faces Death For Removing Hijab, Navratilova Diagnosis
FOOTBALL
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is awake and improving after going into cardiac arrest during the Bills/Bengals game on Monday night. Hamlin is connected to a breathing tube so has been communicating by writing and, according to reports, one of the first things he asked was “did the Bills win the game”. The doctors had a perfect response. They said, “The answer is yes, Damar, you won the game of life.” The NFL announced they are officially canceling the Bills/Bengals game, but the week 18 games will still be played on schedule. In what has hopefully been communicated to Hamlin, his toy drive fundraiser has now raised almost $8 million. Keeping our thoughts and prayers going for a thorough recovery!!!
