IIRC, once you have neuro trauma (concussion) you're at more risk to have symptoms and even have symptoms again with less contact.

I'm not sure, it's been a year or two but I will see if I can find some of the articles. They were/are doing some really cool stuff at KU Med on concussions, IIRC.

September of '11 he had one.

Let's just get to the fucking season and see what we got! These 8,000 threads of "we do" or "we don't" is passed the point of fun or a new discussion. Beaten to death with a big wooden stick.

Thanks, Dave.

Yeah, that has to be a little worrisome.

I recall reading something to that affect but I can't comment definitively.

It's actually pretty terrifying. It's a reason I'm not really fond of putting the guy in the pistol a whole lot.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the NFL go to a "3 concussions and you're done" type rule in the near future.

It's a shame. Gochiefs actually has some raw talent and could be a very positive of member of this community. Sadly, instead of developing those talents he instead chooses to be lazy and continue on with his trolling shtick.

Seems the 1st one was very minor.

I'll worry if it happens this season.

And, if it does, all the Mizzou tards will have a booger-eating circle-jerk.

yes, ok everyone stop posting till August on 1!




BREAK!



HUT 1

There really is no such thing as a "minor" concussion.

His grandparents just took away his directv from the basement as punishment for this.

Hopefully when the season starts he will be allowed out.

I don't have a link, but it's absolutely correct.

Hell, I can personally verify it. I've lived it.

We should reminisce about your Cassel love. :)

IIRC, a single concussion puts you are risk for a second one and the percentage is actually pretty high that another one will occur. Not only that, symptoms and effects of successive concussions are additive and are almost set on a multiplier scale.


Again, I'm just referring form memory, but once you have a single concussion, you are at a much higher risk to get a second concussion that will be more severe and can likely occur with less impact than the first.
