On Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, ESPN color commentator Jesse Palmer (right) saved ESPN play-by-play man Chris Fowler’s life at halftime with a Heimlich maneuver.
The two were calling the Pinstripe Bowl game between Notre Dame and Rutgers at Yankee Stadium when Fowler started choking on his chicken sandwich.
Palmer used to play quarterback for the Florida Gators, the New York Giants in the NFL and was also “The Bachelor” on ABC’s hit show.
Never before needed a Heimlich at halftime. (Or any time)!thanks Jesse Palmer! He saved me from death by dry chicken sandwich.Really.

Not bad to have quick thinking, ex-NFL player around when Heimlich needed. I’ll take bruised ribs to avoid choking!
