If he continues to miss time due to injury, regardless of the location of the trauma, he won’t really have a choice whether to play or not…

As a dad I don’t want to see my kid suffer in any way either! But I also want to see my child set for life too before I die! Darin I commend you for being unbiased in this report. Something Florio seems to be unable to do when it comes to the refs!

Has Foote been fined for that cheap shot forearm to the head? If not, why not?

Tough call. If this guy caught passes from Steve Young in college, you’d have to think they’ve talked. And I’m guessing they’ve talked about the affects concussions have had on Steve’s post-football life. How many did Steve Young have? 4 or 5? He seems to be doing pretty well.

Well said Scott Collie, people only focus on negative side of concussions. Percentages say you’re more often than not going to be fine later in life.

If player safety is truly an issue the NFL wants to correct then how can the NFL continue to allow Austin Collie to play with his concussion history. When does the Colts organization stop letting him continue to harm himself? I guess I will not be surprised when Austin Collie has his name on a concussion lawsuit in the near future.
