SportsCenter used to have a segment called the Not Top 10. It was just like the ESPN show’s Top 10 plays, except it was the worst plays of the entire week, airing every Friday. The no. 1 most appalling play of the week would be pitted against the reigning no. 1 worst play of the previous weeks. Fans would vote on which lowlight was lower. The so-called winner was crowned as the Worst of the Worst.

When Mark Sanchez’s Butt Fumble happened 10 years ago this Tuesday, the play went undefeated on the Worst of the Worst for 40 consecutive weeks. “It was like Mike Tyson in his prime,” said Mark Summer, who was the senior coordinating producer for SportsCenter at the time. “It’s TV gold.”

...

After the Butt Fumble won that 40th matchup on the “Worst of the Worst,” the SportsCenter team decided to retire the video from the segment. The producers were afraid that nothing would ever top it, and the Butt Fumble would air every Friday on SportsCenter forever.

He's still alive, though in critical condition, which is a testament to the sheer amount of medical tech and expertise they have on those fields.

American Football, is, always has been, and as long as we're allowed to play it, a very dangerous game.

Yeah because concussions and injuries! None of that explains cardiac arrest in a 24-year-old!

the two plausible theories i've seen are either commotio cordis or an undiagnosed preexisting heart condition (possibly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)

It's so great how the discourse was, "a man's life is more important than a game, let's go shame everyone", and then the man himself wakes up and is like, "but the game though"

I was going off the assumption that athletic 24-year-olds don't naturally keel over from cardiac arrest, but I guess maybe I'm wrong? I dunno.

It can happen if you take an impact to the chest at just the right point in the heartbeat cycle. There's a term for it that I disremember right now, but it can happen. It's super rare and impacts children more often than adults (think kids hit in the chest by an errant baseball).
