Cam Newton correctly answered the question:
What is 2+2? He answered: Jello.
That seemed good enough for the folks in the booth.
When he got his bell rung, Don Meredith would come back to the huddle singing “I didn’t know God made honky-tonk angels.”
Another player got whacked so hard he sat on the bench wondering how he on earth was going to get home after the game.
Jello! ROFL!!!!!!!!! lol
Yes. that offsetting penalty which included practically ENSURING Cam with have encephalitis by 50 was quite horrific.
I would gather that the 17 hits in this game alone have set him up for a “where the hell am I?” scenario at quite an early age.
Just like scrapin a knee 17 times in a row instead of over the course of 10 years, the brain doesn’t take WELL at all consistent hits in a short time frame.
A cascade of excitatory chemicals are released to combat the trauma and, ironically, can make the damage worse in the long term, as the events set into motion by a TBI can do damage for 20 plus years.
Staggering but true. Of course with one concussion, the response and damage are so minimal as to not have much/any effect long term, unless it is very severe.
5, 6 or more concussions in 10 years? Add another 150 hits, you’re in trouble.
