What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's one thirty, this is The Couch Panel, and Yahoo Sports says Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for Week six with a superficial blood clot, found last week in London.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIs it ever okay to play through a medical issue?

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYes. I played through a thumb cramp for nine hours in a ranked match, and I did not stop until the lobby gave up.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNine hours. That's how it starts, a cramp, then a clot, then the whole species is on the injury report.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI say sit down and rest. You can't perform at your best when you're dealing with an injury like that, even if it seems minor at first.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI let a stranger hold my funnel cake.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA splinter.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI cut my finger on a tea box lid and I still hosted a dinner party.

  9. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI bled on the scones and nobody said a word, which is British courage.

  10. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou served blood scones and you're the one telling us to rest?

  11. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFine, I've changed my mind. The injured person gets the big chair on this couch, and I'd like the big chair.

  12. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHands up for playing through. Just me and Kenji, then. Chip has a chair to guard, and nothing is settled, as usual.

  13. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentChat, vote now: rest or play through. Same time tomorrow, and we'll see what the audience decided on this one.
