Wake-Up Call: Hamlin Suffered Cardiac Arrest

NY Post 1/3/23

The Buffalo Bills said safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest after taking a hit during the team’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. “His heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the UC Medical Center for further testing and treatment. He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition,” the Bills said early Tuesday on Twitter.
Hamlin collapsed during Monday night’s game against Cincinnati, receiving CPR on the field before he was taken away in an ambulance to a hospital before the game was suspended for the night. The game was paused after Hamlin collapsed, and then temporarily suspended, with the players heading to their locker rooms. Just over an hour after the situation unfolded, the game was officially postponed by the league. 


Across the street, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was inside UC Medical Center, in critical condition after collapsing early in his team’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. And in a show of support for Hamlin, an estimated group of 30-40 fans – representing the Bills and Bengals – gathered at AN intersection, hoping for positive news about Hamlin’s condition. At 11:44 p.m., a Bengals fan asked the group to gather for a prayer.

After initially being temporarily suspended for over an hour, the NFL decided to officially suspend the game for the evening and attempt to make it up at a later date. The Bengals were leading 7-3 before the game was called. Although the ESPN broadcast claimed the two teams were given a five-minute warm-up period before attempting to resume the game, the NFL denied they tried to restart action.

➤JEREMY RENNER FACES SURGERIES: Actor Jeremy Renner will have to undergo multiple surgeries for the “extensive” injuries he suffered when his snowplow ran over one of his legs at his Nevada home on Sunday. The injury to the 51-year-old Marvel star will require two surgeries to repair, CNN reported Monday. It’s unclear if both procedures had been completed by Monday evening, but the actor is said to be in stable condition.


Surgery will be the first step in a long road to recovery after Renner lost a significant amount of blood in the New Year’s Day accident near his Mt. Rose-Ski terrace home. The “Hawkeye” star was using his Kässbohrer PistenBully snow plow to clear a path out of his five-bedroom home after the area had been slammed by a massive snowstorm. A safety feature on the heavy-duty machinery apparently failed and the massive plow rolled over his leg. A spokesperson for Renner — who is something of a local hero for his efforts to combat the elements, from snow to fires, in the area — had said he was injured in Nevada “after experiencing a weather-related accident while plowing snow.”

The two-time Oscar-nominated actor was airlifted to a hospital near Reno just before 10 a.m. Sunday after a neighbor applied a tourniquet to his crushed leg to stop the bleeding.

➤ACTORS APPRENTLY HIRED FOR PUTIN PROPAGANDA:
The Russian president, 70, was seen in footage released by Moscow delivering his pre-recorded message while standing in front of several men and women dressed in military fatigues. The clip then showed him raising his glass, toasting the new year. However, eagle-eyed viewers have suggested that Putin is seemingly so paranoid about his position being under threat that the Kremlin hired actors to pose as soldiers and medics for the address. Others spotted an unusual bulge under his suit jacket, suggesting he was wearing body armour as an added precaution. One of the alleged actors is a blonde woman (pictured circled in red) seen standing over Putin's right shoulder. Like the others, she is seen in military clothing having been given a medal earlier by the Russian despot, and glances between him and the camera. But this is not the first time she has been seen with the president, commentators have claimed.


➤McCARTHY LEARNS HIS FATE TODAY: House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) made an eleventh hour push to get the votes needed to lock down the support needed as a group of conservative defectors continue to threaten to derail his ability to get the gavel. In the Speaker’s office in the Capitol — which McCarthy has moved into despite uncertainties over whether he will prevail on the floor — the California Republican met with a group of his supporters followed by a short meeting with three of his defectors — Reps. Scott Perry (R-PA), Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO), with members trickling in-and-out in hopes of getting the backing of the 218 members needed to secure the position.

➤TELSA BREAKS SALES RECORD: Tesla said Monday that sold a record 1.3 million vehicles last year, but the number fell short of CEO Elon Musk’s pledge to grow the company’s sales by 50% nearly every year. The 2022 figure topped the prior record of 936,000 vehicles delivered in 2021, but it was shy of the 1.4 million needed to reach the company’s 50% growth target. Sales grew 40% year over year, while production climbed 47% to 1.37 million.  The shortfall came despite a major year-end sales push that included rare $7,500 discounts in the U.S. on the Models Y and 3, the company’s top-selling models. Tesla Inc., which is based in Austin, Texas, also had to deal with rising cases of the novel coronavirus in China, which cut into production at its Shanghai factory.


➤MURDER SUSPECT DROVE CROSS-COUNTRY WITH DAD:
Bryan Kohberger, 28, drove from Washington to Pennsylvania with his father weeks after he allegedly murdered the four University of Idaho students, his defense attorney revealed. A witness at a Pennsylvania car repair shop claimed the two were spotted on December 16 after making the more than 2,000-mile journey. Kohberger's father had bragged to the witness about flying out to Washington to make the cross-country drive with his son in his white Hyundai Elantra. Police had been on the hunt for the exact car model after it was revealed that one was seen nearby the Idaho murder house at the time of the slayings. Kohberger was arrested at his parents' Pennsylvania home on Friday in connection to the University of Idaho slayings and authorities recovered his car. He is behind bars awaiting extradition over the brutal deaths of Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21.

Meanwhile, Kohberger allegedly tried to expose himself, sang violent rap songs and threatened guards from a Pennsylvania jail cell, according to a report. A fellow inmate told the Daily Mail that accused killer Bryan Kohberger displayed bizarre and disturbing behavior at the Monroe County, PA Jail.

➤HARRY WHINES 'IT'S UNFAIR': Prince Harry will claim in his tell-all memoir how unfair it was that he was always forced to play 'second fiddle' to his older brother and heir to the British throne Prince William.
