I loved Joyner’s game, and he could have been a bell cow. But after that many concussions, attempting a return to football is an extremely bad idea.

Good choice. Vancouver is top tier in smoking hot women.
Not quite Toronto, but pretty fucking close.
Get you some, A.J.

You only live once. I don’t agree. Many former players have had concussions and are fine. Some aren’t. It’s a risk, but that’s football.TTJ said:I loved Joyner’s game, and he could have been a bell cow. But after that many concussions, attempting a return to football is an extremely bad idea.

Listened to Mitch's podcast and her had a guy on who played for Harvard in college and did a couple years in the NFL. He now leads the brain research out of Boston that's diagnosing CTE in players after they die. His comments were that the concussions are not really what causes the long-term issues as much as the repeat hits. He also cited that nearly 75% of concussions in high school or college occur during practice, whereas in the proof that number is reversed, and that practices need to get reworked big-time.
Interesting point was that no kids should play football before high school because, statistically speaking, playing before high school does nothing to improve the odds of making it to college and the pros. All it does is greatly increase the likelihood of brain issues later in life. -
Had to read that a couple of times before I caught the typo.

I watched a little bit of peewee football when my son was that age and thought it was stupid. There were always one or two big, fast, precocious kids and a bunch of booger eaters tripping over themselves. Nothing was gained by anyone from that mess, but several kids did manage to get injuries that plagued them all the way through high school.
Junior high didn't seem bad. I played it and felt like I it prepared me well. I wouldn't doubt it a bit that a robust analysis would show its useless for long term development though.
