NFL players donate brains to science

[Neroon]

File this under "someone having too much fun with titles".

Please, please.... let this be someone who was just having a little mischievous fun, and not someone seriously composing an article's headline.

While it's a funny headline, the subject on the matter is the point and I think it is a wonderful idea. We still don't know the long-term or even short term effects that players go through when colliding, so maybe this'll help open up more.

Belive me, I am not dismissing the actual content whatsoever. I have been witness to enough of these collisions that I can't help but wonder what the effects will be (Can you say "Trent Green"? )

It's just that the headline seems humorously awkward in a sense.

 

[Thespeckledkiwi]

It is.

Reminds me, WTF is Trent Green still doing playing football? Especially behind that line?

 

[Neroon]

I can appreciate a man's passion for his sport, presumably something he so thoroughly enjoys. Yet when that man has been through concussion after concussion ..... there has to be SOME point when the risk far outweighs the benefit. Apparently, Green doesn't think he's reached that point yet.

 

[Thespeckledkiwi]

I can't believe his doctors cleared him. It isn't just concussions that is a concern but the SEVERITY of the concussions that he has sustained.

Is he thinking clearly?

Hmmm, alternative headlines, this is fun!
