A win this weekend, and they can notch “At least we’re not the Jags” in that bedpost, too.

I don’t care what the FDA says, the proper serving size for ice cream is and always will be a pint and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

The nobody checking in part of this is really scary! How irresponsible of the coaching/training staff.

It is horrific to see the fear on the face of someone who cannot control their body, after spending a lifetime learning to build and master it. As someone who has suffered concussions playing football and rugby I couldn’t hold in my tears seeing this young man of 25 lose so much in an instant.

I had a pretty intense concussion years back I can’t remember for a 12 hour period of time what happened but I was walking my girlfriend into her apartment and apparently some guys in the parking lot were getting into an altercation and one of them broke a bottle and was going to stab the other guy and somehow they

For everyone trying to ascribe some emotional reasoning as to why he was weeping and hyperventilating, just stop. He wasn’t lucid from the moment he took the hit until well after he left the field. Having experienced a severe concussion and being told later I had the same reaction, I’d bet season tickets he doesn’t

Paid for college on a D1 scholarship to a smaller school. Got smoked in the earhole one game and wound up in the locker room afterwards with rampaging emotion and my head under a towel, crying. One team mate asked if I was OK, no one from coaching or training staff checked in. Spent the rest of the night and the

Postgame, Ron Rivera’s comment on the injury:

That the reactions to concussions can be so varied and so intense gives me a new respect for how fragile the human brain really is. I mean, it’s resilient as hell in some ways—I remember seeing a documentary in university about a kid who had a hemispherectomy to combat severe epilepsy and he bounced back to a point

These guys know what they signed up for. It’s really no different than a coal miner knowing they will probably get black-lung or a tile layer knowing that his back and knees will be toast by the time he is 40. Health for income; men have made this trade for centuries. The difference is that it gets uncomfortable

I worked on a large study of Traumatic Brain Injury when I was first out of college.** It’s important for me to note that PBA was most commonly seen in our “chronic TBI” group (a slight misnomer meant to signify that a patient had sustained a head injury anywhere from 1 to 5 years prior), and much less so in our

I had a severe concussion about a decade ago while skateboarding. I went to the ER, had a CT scan, apparently I was even flirting with the nurse. I’m not sure if it’s true or not because I don’t remember any of it. I can’t remember anything until about 8 hours later, waking up in bed with my girlfriend, asking “did I

I absolutely don’t judge anyone who still watches and enjoys football, but I’ve not regretted giving up watching it 2.5 years ago. Not even when my team won the Super Bowl the next year. There’s just too much about the sport and organization that make me uncomfortable. This poor guy’s face is yet another item on the

The scariest thing to me is that the hit did not look particularly hard. No head snap, no moment of pure, “HOLY COW! That guy got messed up!” But he obviously is in serious distress. It’s no mystery anymore that the hit does not need to look dangerous to be dangerous. I wouldn’t be surprised, after watching this

Shit is scary I banged my head off the bottom of a half pipe snowboarding and it shut me off for a quick second and I immediately sat up and was like oh fuck. Sat there to see if I felt any symptoms and luckily I was pretty good no dizziness, confusion etc. I can’t imagine having done worse than that multiple times

I took a lot of time

Wow. This is super low level click bait.

Fresno, the Florida of California.

He looks the way most of us feel right now.

What was the purpose of this post other than mental illness click bait? “Look, here’s a guy who hit rock bottom, how fascinating!” No context, no story, just “funny weird picture that will get us traffic.” He’s not in the public eye anymore so definitely not newsworthy. I love Deadspin but come on, this is the kind of
