I am today years old when I realized the lyrics to Blue by Eiffel 65 is actually “I’m blue I would bleed I would die…” My entire life I thought it was “da ba die da ba die.”

it speaks to how brain broken the NFL rumor guys are that they all passed along the "Jalen didn't sleep in London because of his blood clot" thing as a fun anecdote and everyone in real life who read it was like "THEY LET HIM PLAY AN NFL GAME WITH A BLOOD CLOT?"

Our QB has blood clots in his lungs. But hey man, I hope that random week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars was worth it. I’m at a loss for words

My quarterback could’ve passed away in his sleep & they cleared him to start a football game AND THEN FLY 10 hours back home.
We gotta stop doing this. In all sports. This shit is not admirable at all

I’m firmly in the camp if you have to stay awake for 36 hours before kickoff so you don’t die from a blood clot you should probably skip playing that game.

The NFL is going to kill one of their players. This is the craziest shit I’ve ever heard. “Just don’t sleep because it’s dangerous. Also still play” I’m not going to shut up about this.
#Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs, has been undergoing tests for days.
Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played without having slept.

Jalen Hurts playing vs. the Jags while dealing w/ a blood clot & not sleeping for 36 hrs isn’t a feel-good story about a man’s commitment to his team & the sport of football.
It’s a dangerously irresponsible decision that should put both the Eagles & the NFL under a microscope.

Ok this part makes zero sense and now I do question why he played after seeing this part of the report. That much sleep deprivation can have a similar effect to being drunk in terms of awareness and neuromuscular control.
There’s nothing inherently dangerous about sleeping while having a superficial clot. Immobility (venous stasis) can cause clots to get worse, but that’s why you are often advised to just sleep with the leg elevated.
I’ve NEVER heard of someone being told to avoid sleep after a superficial blood clot diagnosis and the short term effect of that sleep deprivation is a terrible thing to play football with.
Jalen Hurts reportedly went roughly 36 hours without sleep after doctors diagnosed him with a superficial blood clot in London and advised him not to sleep as a precaution.
He still started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD.

I’m sorry, but this isn’t uplifting… this story is an example of organizational (and probably medical) malpractice. Jalen Hurts is lucky to be alive.

Why on earth was Jalen Hurts allowed to play in London vs. the Jaguars?

I’m not even an Eagles fan and I’m furious at how the Eagles handled Jalen Hurts’ situation.
Someone NEEDS to be fired.

I'm not exaggerating, Jeffrey Lurie needs to hire an independent investigator to review the entire decision making process that led to Jalen Hurts not only playing that game in London, but then getting onto a transatlantic flight back.
He could have died, heads need to roll.

Not a doctor but if it's unsafe for you to sleep, seems like it's also unsafe for you to play quarterback in an NFL game

Hey. This is bad. Like really bad. Like historically bad.
For a league that pretends to put player safety so high, we CANNOT praise this type of behavior.

Yeah…this isn’t a”how much he loves football “ story. It’s a “ everyone in the Eagles organization needs to answer some really hard questions “story

Jalen Hurts was overseas, under-rested and dealing with a blood clot while playing without key offensive weapons at his disposal and ran the ball only twice (maybe as a way of self-preservation knowing what he was dealing with). Just one question: Why?

"How committed is Jalen Hurts to football?" Have you no shame for saying this bullshit?
