Stanley Bryant news

[GOLDMEMBER]

It was scary looking at the stadium. Any updates on what happened to him. I heard he is doing fine.

Just left the hospital after visiting with Stanley Bryant with some of his teammates and staff. He is awake and resting, and while further evaluation will continue tomorrow, he is doing okay. He listened to the final few minutes on @680CJOB and as soon as the final whistle blew, the phone rang: "Tell the boys congrats, I'm alright, and I love them."

Good to hear he is doing okay.

Was scary to watch, thought he was having cardiac issue's.

Speedy recovery and hope all is well!

They say now he was sick all week.

O'Shea said of Bryant.

"A combination of the heat and being sick. I think he was sick all week. And a short week. I just think it all added up [to] him not feeling good for a second."

While it sucks for the big guy, it surely is good news for him that it doesn't seem to be anything more serious.  When I saw the IV I was hoping it was dehydration, and praying it wasn't a cardiac event.

Our offense took a massive hit when big Stan went down. He is then MVP of our offense. Our O line was in disarray without him. Get well soon Stanley!!

Wonder why the heck it took them so long to cart Stan off the field, was he experiencing motion sickness?  Threw the timing of the game and my schedule off about 1/2 hour.

Stanley Bryant has been released from hospital and has returned home.  He is feeling considerably better, and wanted to extend a thank you to everyone across the CFL, specifically the amazing fans here in Manitoba, for their concern and compassion.

It's better to use caution than to expedite him off the field. There were a number of personnel assisting and they couldn't get everybody and all the equipment into a moving ambulance.

The game was irrelevant at that point.

Guy is suffering something serious you'd think they take all the time needed to ensure the players well being. Your comment is just sad.

Awesome he was only heat stroke symptoms, and nothing that coolness and water couldn't cure.
I am also type two diabetic and high blood pressure.  Once the temp with high humidity it's, heat stroke symptoms seem very quick.  Temp and humidity drop, and I for one feel incredibly better.

I think I mentioned before, that in Phoenix when the temp reaches a certain point, trecreational games start at 8:00 pm.  That was on a community field with lights near my Residence inn, downtown.  I understood why, as the temp and humidity, dropped noticeably from sun up.

Glad he is OK.  Immediately thought of potential replacements..how's Neuf doing"

Sounds like it was a momentary issue, and that there shouldn't be long term issues.  He was sick all week, likely a cold or flu, they would have said COVID if that was it, those aren't really the symptoms, though.

These guys fight though illnesses.  But I was watching him play on the PVR before he went down, and he was definitely struggling.  Not sure how Costello, Buck, or Osh did not notice.  He was at 50% speed, not following through on blocks, just not playing like Big Unk.  Its the coaches job to notice that, especially if he's been sick all week.  It should not have gotten to the point of collapse.  Sorry if i sound unsympathetic, but a coach has to protect a player from himself.  Even a veteran leader needs someone to tap him on the shoulder to prevent him hurting himself.  He was in danger of getting seriously hurt if called upon to make a play.

Very happy that he is at home feeling better, and look forward to seeing him on the field as soon as he feels right.

Would be a weird LDC/BB without both Stan and Yoshi on the field.

I knew it, that situation looked classic flu to me.

The problem with that though is that anyone near that vomit explosion now has a good chance of catching it too.  That's literally the worst thing to be around from a flu patient.  Let's hope the guys who jumped back did so very quickly, and weren't downwind.  We don't need a LDC with half the players sick.

I rewatched the game watching the OL carefully.  When Stan left we actually held together pretty well.  Kudos to them.

But when Wallace also left, then it all went to shambles.  Just too much changing too fast.  And then Feltmate got hurt and we were really down to nothing for jumbo sets.  It was pretty much straight up 5 protection, 5 R out after that.  Someone said maybe Clercius was coming in on protection sometimes but I didn't see it much.

Amazing we managed an O drive to win.
