    I can definitely relate. I had a concussion following a fall off of a 20 foot ladder. I fractured my right clavicle, left radius and ulna, ribs, L5-S1 transverse process, lacerated kidney and liver, and punctured lung. Because of the concussion I don't even remember the fall. and anything that happened shortly afterwards. All I remember is waking up in the ambulance wondering why I was laying down when I was just at work.. Then I passed out again and don't remember anything until after my surgery was over. People tell me that I was conscious the whole time.
    Concussions are serious business.

    To prove the memory loss Favre suffered from the final concussion he explains; he didn't even get the pass off, he was sacked and not pushed, but viciously thrown into the ground by Corey Wootton. Then didn't go straight into the locker room, he put on a jacket and sat on the bench.

      Reynaldo Venturina Jr: Favre CAN still play, and he is a tough cookie. But he would not dare play again. In 2012 Jeff Fisher offered 42 year old Favre a starting QB position with the Rams. Favre turned it down because of too many concussions. Today Favre works out with high school and college athletes. At age 50 Favre throws so hard that he often breaks receivers' hands, sometimes shatters them. Look at all the QBs that could not throw at the end of their careers (P. Manning, Marino).

    Have guys on each team that just watch over the helmet numbers. Almost like a TV with Stock numbers ticketing. Except 11 men on side and 11 on the other. Also maybe fix facemasks. Why are they still like coated steel? Maybe a material that doesnt destroy you lmaoooo

      @jakestine4753 Год назад

      Favre did a bad job articulating, but his point is that all those times he got up seeing lights/stars, most of the time his head didn't take a whack. The problem with concussions is they can and do happen when you take shots to the chest or upper body. The G-forces of sudden changes in direction cause your brain to rattle around in your head and since your brain has absolutely no feeling or sensation, it has no idea when it's been injured. Getting knocked out is your body's defense against concussions, and it actually works well when you take shots to the head. But these minute-by-minute "dizzying blows" that put stars in your eyes that all football players deal with through out every game? They're all causing minute amounts of brain damage and no amount of head protection can stop that (and in fact, it makes it worse: a player padded to the gills is much more likely to full-tilt sprint into tackles than one without, and the danger today is that full-speed play enabled largely by excessive padding and helmet tech)
