This is a big problem that is not going to go away for the NFL.

It can end tomorrow. At least future problems. All the NFL needs to do is give the players back their leather headgear. But that won't do for the NFL. They might lose revenue if the game lost any bone crunching excitement.

Very sad to hear about Junior. He was such an intense player. And a great guy from what I've read of him.

I would impose weight limits.....no more than 250 pounds, there was a time when a 300-pound player was unheard of...now they are not only over 300 pounds, but they are fast as well. That’s a bad combination.

What is the incidence of concussions for rugby players? If it is lower than that of football players, that would be very telling.

I know that NFL players go to early graves — I didn’t think that suicide was a primary cause though.
