You people really need to get lives, instead of arguing over people who need brains.
You have some good points, but the thing is, the world doesn’t care what you say. You need to get off ur computer and go out and exercise, because you need to refresh ur own minds, and think a little. But sofa man , you are pretty funny and do make a good point. And raindude, im sure ur smart and you have a point, but don’t argue over poeple who don’t have their own brains screwed into their own heads.

hey rainman, what I said was that I already work for a doorknob of a boss, and that I’d rather have a drink after work with a semi retarded lineman. If I need to know how many twizzle sticks are were in a spilled glass, I’ll ask you.

Funny how the part about this type of brain damage causing severe emotional problems that lead to substance abuse and other self destructive behaviours are ignored in some of the comments.. who needs a brain. Stupid statement. We all need our brains, maybe we don’t need to be smart, but we need our brains simply to function and exist, never mind be human…

How much of your brain do you need if playing college ball gets you a job after college? I’ve got a door knob of a boss, and he doesn’t even play sports. At least a semi retarded lineman might be cool to have a beer with after work.

Perhaps a semi-rigid extension on the lower part of the back and sides of the helmet that would transfer most of the shock to the shoulder region.

Anything can cause head problems, just hitting it hard. You can play football for your whole life and not have these problems. Just take care of yourself. It is the risk that the players take.

Correlation does not mean causation.

Do I believe that football collisions can cause problems? Yes.

Do I believe that particular guy proves it? No.

Squishy, shock-absorptive helmets.

Next problem!
