[QUOTE="Lil G, post: 985650, member: 5674"] I can whole heartedly say I had a lot of fun playing football but completely regret it. 3 official concussions, but many others that I hid from the med staff so that I could keep playing (this was the norm). I’ve had memory problems ever since, and at one point significant speech problems, that still linger somewhat (the drinking doesn’t help). I often used my head as a weapon, which is 100% my fault. But I was also blindsided to oblivion multiple times, which left me struggling to stand up straight. It’s no way to treat a brain, and unless they make massive changes to helmets I’ll be discouraging any future children of mine from playing. All the respect to our boys in gold, but there is a huge deal with the devil you make when playing this glorious game. [/QUOTE]
