SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

I'm never getting to sleep tonight. Also, game 1 had the highest TV audience since game 1 of the 2019 Boston/St Louis Finals.

I thought McNabb might have lost an eye, his nose, teeth, broken jaw, God knows.

I haven't seen an injury update on him. I can't imagine what the aftermath of that is.

Also can't believe that the league only allows players to wear a face cage or bubble after something like that happens.

I can understand not wanting cages if a fight breaks out, but no bubble allowed, come on.

You know the injury is bad when the opposing players are waving wildly to the injured player's bench. Last I heard, they took him to the hospital.

Great to see a space for under-the-radar sports stories! Speaking of games, I've been hooked on slope game 2 lately. The thrill of navigating those slopes reminds me of how athletes have to adapt and maneuver in unexpected situations. It's all about balance and quick reflexes, much like the strategies we see in lesser-known sports!
