OT: Concussion revisited
This is a very important topic to discuss with a qualified physician before enrolling your children in PeeWee football, enlight of the Chris Henry death. Despite never having been diagnosed with a concussion in highschool, college or in the pros he had CTE.
The National Football League is producing a poster that bluntly alerts its players to the long-term effects of concussions, using words like “depression” and “early onset of dementia” that those close to the issue described as both staggering and overdue.

I am glad to see this is becoming a more important issue. Hopefully the NFL can also use it's influence to get the message across to younger kids as well.
Aaaaaaaaaaand notice who's on the poster? That's right, we are! Check it out at the bottom. Looks like we were losing to USC.
