We start with the NFL – Buffalo Bills safety, Damar Hamlin collapsed during his game Monday night against the Bengals after sustaining a big hit. He stood back up but suddenly collapsed, with medical staff rushing onto the field, confirming later that he suffered a cardiac arrest following the hit and his heartbeat was restored on the field. Hamlin is currently sedated and remains in a critical condition in a Cincinnati hospital.
The NFL later postponed the game.
In football – fireworks greeted the funeral procession led by the hearse carrying the coffin of Pele through the streets of Sao Paulo last night, after tens of thousands of Brazilians paid their personal and emotional respects to the football legend at his Club stadium.
At midday today local time, the procession will leave the stadium and drive by the home of his 100 year-old Mother so that she can say farewell to her famous son on his way to a private family burial.
In rugby league – under the current ORIGIN rules, players who have resided in New South Wales or Queensland prior to their 13th birthday are eligible to play – unless they’ve represented England or New Zealand. So the pressure is mounting on the NRL to change the rule ahead of the series opener this year.
In boxing – UFC boss Dana White has issued a public apology after shocking video emerged of him slapping his wife twice across the face as she attempted to keep her arms up and block him at a New Year’s Eve party in a Cabo, Mexico nightspot.
White said later that they had both been drinking heavily.
In rugby – Former England boss Eddie Jones and ex-All Blacks Coach Steve Hansen are embroiled in a tug of war over Bristol Bears and Flying Fijian superstar Semi Radradra for the Barbarians clash against the World XV at Twickenham in May. Jones and Hansen both want Radradra in their team.
The nutter who said to an opposition player “I’ve met your Mum, she’s a sex worker isn’t she?” England international Prop, Joe Marler – has been suspended for two weeks with four more weeks suspended for the rest of this season.
