If there really is a problem with concussions, maybe they should make the guys where the concussion-proof helmets for kickoffs. They make look ridiculous, but they supposedly work.

Or maybe they could do kickoffs without helmets — that should keep people from thinking they are indestructible.

One of my brides high school students was paralyzed, and later died from, a foot ball injury. They had Dick Butkus come speak at a fund raiser for him, and he said the best thing to limit concussions and injuries would be to take away the face mask and limit pads.

You will stop leading with your head pretty fast.
