Yo... Moe

[Jerry Oz]

When I saw Aikman get a concussion on a sack where his head wasn't touched, I knew the end was near for his career. I'm surprised he is as lucid as he is while calling games but then I recall how Frank Gifford fell off a cliff seemingly overnight calling Monday Night Football. He was good one season and barely comprehensible the next. Watch for news about Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu in the next five years. They both rushed back from concussions multiple times.

And now that the word is out, the league's legal culpability is almost nonexistent. The suit was based on the line of BS it sold the players. A mini-trend now has players quitting while they still have their wits. The Niners lost linebacker Chris Borland after one season. He gladly repaid his signing bonus and went on his way.

I wondered about Aikman and his game commentary as well. Until the documentary I had never heard of mini concussions. I understand there are still questions surrounding this but 45 out of 46 players whose brains were examined having CTE? I find that alarming as hell.
