The trebles have a bigger surface area than the bullseye, so they're easier to hit with more space for your three darts, while also being worth more in the case of T17-T20. In soft tip darts (played on dartboards with holes in them) players usually aim exclusively for the bullseye as both the inner and outer part are worth 50 points (rather than 50 for the inner and 25 for the outer) and therefore has a bigger surface area, allowing for more consistent scoring and less risk than going the trebles.

> During this time, Mr. Hamlin will be reassessed frequently, looking at things like cranial nerve reflexes (from nerves that come directly off the brain and not the spinal cord). These include nerves that control the pupils reacting to light, eye movements, cough and gag reflexes, and blinking. If they are impaired, that’s a bad sign, as they tend to be more resilient than the “higher function” areas of the brain.

it seems highly unlikely that they'll release this information to the press/media/fans, despite the fact that basically millions of people will most likely look at football differently if a player dies from a routine tackle, no?

we have no clue

  1. his preliminary CT scan results

  2. if he's had an MRI yet while intubated (unlikely)

  3. if he's being cooled or not

correct?

if there aren't reports that he's awake and off the ventilator within the next 7-10 days, is he most likely going to be a vegetable/dead or is there some kind of "healing" that could happen while he's in a coma for, 14, 21, 30+ days?
