    I am sure his 50 million dollar contract will afford him to buy a few
    bottles of aspirin.

    Unfortunately for him, it's too late. If he's suffered that many he is almost certain to have a very difficult life down the road. And no wardismvp, a bottle of aspirin isn't going to do jack **** to help him.

    Goodell and his crusade is such a joke, if they were really interested in protecting players they'd improve the helmets, why is it taking the players themselves to fix the problem? Goodell would rather change the culture of the game then actually fix the problem.

    i'll bet there are alot of players that have numerous concussions that are never heard about. it's not just him and troy. i'll bet most RB's get the brain bouncing around on a weekly basis. RG1 has no interest in all the players safety, just the high paid passers and receivers that up the scoring for him. thats what he wants. that's why all the rule changes. i don't doubt LB'ers and safeties have more than most, but rb's get it from all sides. linemen are not in enough high speed hits on a consistant basis, though they do hit hard. the head slap rule back in the day did more for them. :cool:

    go back to leather helmets and you'll see helmet to helmet hitting stop overnight.

    Thats the exact same thing I was going to post. They are still helmetless in Rugby.

    Matter of fact, the hits look alot like what USE to be legal in the NFL. :clapping:

    With all of these athletes committing suicide (which doctors are starting to think is linked to the concussions) I would be worried about that down the road, James and Troy. :-(
