Football players, parents, coaches, & fans should watch the movie "Concussion"

Randle-El walked it back 180 degrees on the Dan Patrick Show yesterday.

Whole enchilada? Beans? Rice? Chix? Steak? Guac?

Did he say why or how it was misconstrued?

My son played football in grade school and was pretty good.

Just as glad he decided to place emphasis on cross country and track, however.

My wife and I neither encouraged or discouraged football, but we encouraged running and he had a successful high school career.

There are so many other sports besides football that are just as physically difficult, but do not have the concussion issues football does.

Note, however, that at the grade school level, there are more concussions in soccer than in football. That's because the proverbial "Fat Albert's" are not allowed the run the football and must play between tackles. The stats change come middle school when that restriction is removed.

Also, do not under estimate the damage of a "head-butt" with another player while attempting a header in soccer.
