So there probably won't be many posts in this thread, but here's a place for the rare occasion that an NFL player actually does something good.

Tony Gonzalez saves a guy from choking.

how can nobody in a restaurant know what to do when somebody chokes?  it should be mandatory training, especially for waitstaff.

Philadelphians have a lot more familiarity with choking than other folks. Met fans might be catching up, though.

You'd think that. My Dad has been in the restaurant business for 35 years, and my step Mom is a registered nurse. I was having dinner with them New Years eve a few years back when a piece of steak got lodged in my throat. I didn't panic and took a swig of beer hoping to wash it down. Didn't work, so I rose to my feet and put my hands around my neck which is the universal sign for choking. They all just stood there dumbfounded and watched me. Finally I leaned over and coughed it up. Beer was even coming out my nose because the piece was lodged in there so bad. Moral of the story: Don't choke on food

Like SD said, its really weird when someone is choking in a restaurant.   We were at a Sushi place, and some guy yelled, we stood up and saw one guy behind the guy choking, we didnt know if it was a fight or a heart attack.  Ends up the guy choked on a sushi roll, but luckily had a paramedic sitting at the table next to him.

Diffusion of Responsibility

and

Bystander Effect

By the way....this thread will most likely not be updated with another example for about a year.

Mike McMahon did a great job parking my car for me last weekend.

Sorry, no link.
I'm not from Philly but some say I'm blunt.

Have you considered that they simply chose not to help?
