What BBN said about it

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA splinter.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
