No headache that day. None the next day. None the next day. None the next day. None the next day. None the next day until on the way home from work. Then a MONSTER, pulsing, headache hit, and lasted, continuously, for 12 days. Then it let up for a while, came back, let up, came back, let up – you get the idea.

The day of the accident, there was a ruptured gas tank in one of the vehicles, and gasoline was flowing down the street. I saw it, warned people to not have a lit match and/or cigarette in the area, then (while standing next to the flowing gasoline), I promptly lit a cigarette. And even then, I was not diagnosed with a concussion until a couple of weeks after the accident.

Unless and until you have a concussion, you have NO idea what it is like. Just as no one who has never experienced a broken bone can understand the pain. Or an appendectomy. Or a kidney stone.

And no one who has not experienced blindness, or been around someone who has total blindness, can even begin to understand blindness.

The old saying used to be “Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.” Maybe it should be updated to “Don’t pooh-pooh it until you’ve actually experienced it.”

The Next Case of Staph Infection

I don’t see why anyone is mad at him here?

I do have one question for Taylor. When you were voting for he new CBA, one of the issues was Goodells sole ability to suspend and fine players. You voted for it, so really, you shouldn’t complain about something you agreed to.

His version of the West Coast Offense worked in both GB and Seattle, Reid took it out to Phillie and has had a measure of success, and it even pinged back into the NFC North in Minnesota (the 2009 Viking offense was about as close to the Holmgren scheme I’ve seen since Holmgren left GB). It wasn’t until Favre decided to “simplify” and crack out the Favreball that things went down hill for the Vikings at the end of 2009 and all of 2010.

Someone has to stand-up, be a man, and take accountability.

Shurmur won’t do it, and hasn’t done it – and now I see why….Holmgren – his mentor.

Sometimes, the only way to progress or move forward is to be wrong….and admit when you are in fact – WRONG!

Get Gruden!

“When the injury took place on the field, at that time the question came up, did the doctors see the impact on the play? They did not. And our trainers did not,” Holmgren said. “They were all working, as is typical in a game. They were working on other injured players in the bench area or behind players. So they did not see the play. They heard the crowd reaction, someone said, ‘Colt’s down.’”

This is ridiculous. Of course the training staff were working on other things. It’s not their job to monitor the quarterback all day.

The coaches, however, saw their starting QB get rocked in the head. It’s on them to mention that to their staff.

Suspend Shurmur.

How do teams like the Browns with McCoy or Charges with Dielman get off claiming ignorance as their defence.

I say Shurmer, OC and QB Coach get a game off like Harrison has to.

They may not have known, but they sure should have before sending him back in.

He got used to BrINT Favre who was dumb enough to go back into the games after every time he had his eggs scrambled.

Mike Holmgren: “Obvioiusly it is Ryan Pontbriand’s fault.”
