concussion nfl players

Right, I know the pressure buildup wasn't CTE, but rather the concussion symptom. My worry is that I will develop alzheimer, dementia, or a level of CTE earlier than those who did not play a sport like American football. I respectfully disagree that playing high school football will not increase your chances of incurring brain damage. https://www.bu.edu/cte/our-research/case-studies/18-year-old/ Here was a case that BU studied from a high school football player.

my name is katie im 20 years old i played soccer for 16 years since i was little , over the past years i had 6 concussion , after those concussion i had MRI done apperetnly they didnt find anything and everything , all testing were normal ,, but theres a cluster of granuloma on the left pretrous apex. my brain is otherwise normal. the doctor told me to take Toprol.

I am curious about everyone's opinion of the sanctions imposed on the NFL coaches and players regarding "Headhunting". Were they strict enough to deter this type of behavior in the future? Were the fines large enough to cause an NFL player to think again before trying to deliberately hurt another player? I don't think one year suspension for a coach is enough if he is guilty of this but, I don't have all of the facts. What do you guys think?

Two most outspoken players of the bengals??!!!! They are the two most outspoken players in the entire NFL!! Having both of those players on the same team would have to be most coaches worst nightmare!! Well, if they weren't such good receivers. When T.O was a free agent there were rumors that Chicago was interested. Lovie Smith came right out and said, this isn't an exact quote but something to the effect of..... would not allow a player with a mouth and attitude like his on his team.

In response to the decertification, the league officially locked out the players. On July 5, 2011, a group of retired NFL players led by Carl Eller, Franco Harris, Marcus Allen and Paul Krause filed its own class-action lawsuit against both the NFL and NFLPA, stating that the decertification disqualified the NFLPA from bargaining on the former NFL players' behalf.

IBK, I read it on ESPN this morning. I pasted the article below. NEW YORK -- Two massage therapists sued Brett Favre on Monday, saying they lost their part-time jobs with the New York Jets after complaining about sexually suggestive text messages from the veteran quarterback. Claiming they were subjected to sexual harassment and job discrimination, Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole are seeking unspecified damages from Favre, the Jets and a Jets massage coordinator.

NFL players do this all the time and never get HIV. You have to have deep gaping wounds to run a risk of HIV transmission.

Also check out University of Buffalo concussion clinic where one doctors treats NFL players with controlled exercise and have seen success.

The players that are selected to play in the pro bowl are voted in by coaches, players and fans. They players picked are normally considered the elite players of the league for the season. The pro bowl is a game played that is just for fun. There are a few different rules compared to regular season. They main reason of the changed rules is to protect the players from injury. This is the first year the pro bowl is being played before the Super Bowl.

You would need large gaping wounds for HIv to be transmitted this way. Look at the collisions NFL players get with bloody cuts, but no one gets HIV.

This was a routine MRI, so we thought, after a concussion. There are only three things this child cares about. 1) Football, 2) Football, and 3) Competitive target shooting. I feel so bad for him. All he has every dreamed about since he was nine was to play in the NFL. Now, how do you tell him that he won't even have a chance too?

would be a lot of innocent victims if you could get it just from touching the virus - people who eat in a restaurant where hanky panky is going on with the waiters in the back room, or NFL players who collide at top speed and draw blood don't get HIV either. Go back to your happy life and forget this situation even occurred.

Because of the above inactivation , cuts, rashes, etc are not channels for HIV transmission otherwise everyone on the planet would have it from exposed cuts to the wrong person or object such as a toilet seat or players in an NFL game when blood cuts happen. Nothing you can add to your situation would put you at risk for HIV but check the std forum because condom can't protect against all std.

Further to Bestrong's advice, consider that NFL players don't get HIV despite massive force from both people who collide that create cuts. Lots of other sports involve bloody collisions too.

Troy aikman, Jim nantz (Former QBs, now announce in the nfl). **** Butkus (former nfl player who used the terrible helmets! Now in his 70s on nfl countdown). Chanel sonnen (former ufc fighter, now broadcaster) I really could go on and on. But these are people who took blows to the head for years upon years before we really knew about the how serious head trauma is.

It's the NFL! The NFL has its own set of rules. Corporate ownership is forbidden. Ownership must consist of a group of 24 or fewer individuals and one member of the group must own at least 30% of the team. The Steelers ownership which was comprised of members of the Rooney Family was forced to remove any owners who had any ties to licensed and legitimate casinos or any gambling interest such as racetracks etc. That's the way it is in the NFL.

I was traveling and missed this post, but I am always down for an NFL pool. I think the Jets will take it tonight, because of the Hard Knock HBO ego thing working.

now i have been diagnosed with post concussion syndrome.is it possible for this to happen and how long will it last.

Guess what guys.! I got a concussion. ): Done with football for the season and sports for the whole YEAR!!! Hopefully we can let me do discus at the end of the year...NOT A CONTACT SPORT....They are talking about taking me out of football for good. Which I understand...but I got the concussion off of punting which I NEVER do except for tht one time.

I heard the Raiders players kidnapped all the Steelers players and will be suiting up in their jerseys. So, I'm taking the Steelers.

looks like we lost a lot of players this week

http://www.today.com/moms/radio-host-rips-mlb-player-paternity-leave-suggests-c-section-2D79476676 "New York Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy missed the season's first two games to be with his wife during the birth of their first child earlier this week. Murphy's wife went into labor on opening day Monday, so he went to Florida to be with her for the birth of son Noah, then decided to take the three full days' paternity leave allowed by Major League Baseball.

well this should be a GREAT NFL season this year...man oh man there is so much drama going on with so many teams and players this year it's practically like a soap opera! From Michael VIck getting back into playing in the league, Brett Favre un-retiring again, Big Ben Roethlisberger with those ridiculous rape allegations against him, a Browns player suspended for at least the year for being convicted of a DUI homicide....the list goes on and on!

It was very persuasive. Adult ex-football players can actually get dementia from all the hits they took to the head when they were under 21.

my boyfriend suffered multiple concussions and post concussion before he suffered a couple within the last month. my main concern is his extreme borderline personality symptoms thathe now has. he is still healing from the injuries so understandably his symptoms are more serious but my main concern is if it may not subside overtime but if it will, how long will it take cause it is alot for me to handle. are there any treatments for him to take.

The Rose Bowl always consists of the best team from the Pac-10 and from the Big Ten regardless of what their national rank is. Even if for some reason the best team from the Pac 10 or Big Ten only had 5 wins they would still be in the Rose Bowl. There were only a handful of times it wasn't a team from one of these conferences and that's because they used the Rose Bowl as the National Championship. They only did that for 5 years or so from 2001-2005.

Steelers fan...had to root against dad in the 70's...LOVE the Steelers! Hate all other NFL teams! Baseball...Giants fan...Hate the Dodgers (Giants the local team, A's are ok too) Hockey fan in general, GO SHARKS! it's our year...also thelocal team...
