Probably too obscure for most people, but funny nonetheless.

If you tivo'ed the game, and you watch where they show Cassel being led down the stairs to the locker room, he's being whisked away by one of Pioli's CIA dudes. The bald guy in the dark suit.

But but but the national media guys say we were cheering his head injury. Like that makes it 10X as bad since we all know that dudes like Eric Winston are risking life and limb with the head injuries and some day they'll be vegetables but they are taking it for the team because they love the game they play even though they aren't gladiators. Sickening I say just sickening

Same way Rocky Balboa did.

i don't think your head has to even get hit to get a concussion.

a sharp force can rattle the brain around inside your skull and 'bruise' itself.

LMAOLMAOLMAO Do you ever have an opinion that's not idiotic?

Cassel went all Al Czrvik on us!

Let's not be ridiculous here.

NFL policy requires that a player consult an independent neurologist following a concussion. If Cassel isn't clear to play, it's because a non-Chiefs neurologist said he can't.

The accusation that a team and a player would fake a concussion is a pretty serious one. Let's not make ourselves ridiculous by demonizing our player and GM for a conspiracy theory. We have plenty of ammo without banking on this.

Having had a few myself, concussions are funny things. I've been knocked silly and seen stars, but OK. On the other hand, I've had a couple small hits to the back of the head and they've been the worst. I'm not about to speculate what happened, but I think it was one of those things the NFL is very PC about right now. The timing was pretty suspect, though.

Damn I bet Winston feels better now

You can be blind to the facts if you wish, but it isn't going to change anything.

When the Pioli/Winston/Cassel/Neurologist/Covert Scrum Injection scandal comes to light it will change the face of the NFL forever.

The back of Cassel's head smacks the ground. If the person is already concussed(KO'd) the impact of their skull hitting the ground can actually wake them up (see Chuck Liddell vs Rampage Jackson II). However, you have 3 "sweet spots" on a human. Your chin, the spot behind your ears/temples, and the direct back of your skull.

It seems pretty apparent to me that Matt was concussed from smacking the back of his head on the ground.

Needs to lift some weights and build up dat neck strength.

I'm actually not sure either. The only way his head could have hit the ground is if both his arms were immobilized and it looks like the left was free to brace the fall.

The ground gives and the helmet has padding... It's not like he slammed his helmet less head on the concrete

That part is weird too, have you ever noticed the CIA guys escort any other injured players off the field?

It sucks that there isn't another angle to the video, it does look like that #99 may have roughed Cassel up a bit at the end of his fall, you can see him falling in one direction after the first hit, and then when everyone gets out of the way Cassel is laying in an entirely different direction.
