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?
Hey @MLB - wanna get more kids watching baseball?
Maybe start with the commercials.
Watching the playoffs tonight with my kids and here's the rundown:
- Megan Fox selling ED pills in a red bodysuit
- The scariest movie trailer you've ever seen
- Sydney Sweeney in zero clothes promoting betting on sports
Leagues can't figure out why kids don't watch.
You don't need a Nickelodeon game. You're not the Savannah Bananas.
Just show baseball in a way I can leave on in my house.

Tournament Directors, enough with the Stay-To-Play nonsense. Forcing families into certain hotels just so their kid can play is ridiculous. You’re already making plenty of money off these events. Stop squeezing families for every last dollar. Let them choose where they stay!
After seeing a woman eating from his trash, Bronx business owner Daniel Romano of D'Romano's Pizzeria put up a handwritten sign with a simple message: If you're hungry, come inside.
His promise to offer a slice and a fresh water to anyone in need is now reaching people far beyond his neighborhood 🍕❤️
In Japan, if you use a word wrong, someone will quietly teach you the correct one.
In Texas, I thanked a mechanic by saying "you are a good man of the trucks."
He did not correct me. He put it on his voicemail.
"You've reached Ray. Good man of the trucks."
His son answers the phone that way now.
When you’re not seen, valued, or appreciated, sometimes the hardest decision is the one that changes your future. Know your worth, trust your purpose, and don’t be afraid to move where you’re valued.
Fortunate to say I have committed to Angelina College to pursue my athletic and academic career. Thank you to all the coaches at Angelina for giving me the opportunity to play at the next level. #AGTG#Commited@codycrowder7@brns_2230@coachmeevans
